Opposites
Chapter 1
As young children, we used to think having a twin was so cool. No one else in our class had one and that's what would attract attention to me and my sister. We were identical twin girls, holding hands as we walked shyly into the classroom our first year of school. We stayed together letting no one else play with us. We usually kept to ourselves because we hated when we got mixed up.
One day, there was an older boy who came to our classroom though. Our father had dropped us off early and me and my sister sat in the floor playing dolls. He was a 3rd year student and when he walked in we automatically looked up at him curiously. When he noticed us sitting on the floor he looked shocked at first but then he smiled. He was a red haired boy with long legs and a cute smile, but his brown eyes looked like he had been crying.
"Good morning young ladies" He said to us.
I looked at him continuing to be curious, but my sister seemed amazed by him.
He came over to us and kneeled down.
"Would you like to play a game?" He asked
I looked over at my sister for a response. She nodded.
"Very well" He said getting back up and walking to our desks that had our bags on them. "I am going to do a magic trick; I shall tell you whose bag is whose"
The boy then proceeded to examine our bags. I didn't believe he could do it, even our parents got us mixed up a lot.
"This one belongs to you, correct?" He asked looking at my twin with his brown eyes
My sisters' jaw dropped as she nodded.
"Then this one belongs to you" He continued, looking at me with his smile, I, being shy, said nothing.
My sister giggled and he smiled once more "Twins though may look alike, may have personalities that are opposite, remember that" He winked at us before walking out with a wave.
I think after that day, my sister began to live by that. Each year she grew more open, and I was her follower. By the last year of our middle school days, Chou was the popular twin and I, Ayome, was the silent nobody.
Our first year of high school was going to be a year to remember. Chou started the day chipper. Her long wavy brunette hair left in its lovely way down her back, as was mine. We both wore our school uniform of a yellow dress and I wore white flats as she wore white heels.
"Ayome, finally we have reached high school and I can find him" She said enthusiastically.
I didn't say anything. I knew who she was talking about. That boy from so long ago, the one we didn't even know the name to. The one we were both in love with and she didn't know. We walked to school that day, Chou seeming to prance like and excited foal.
When we got to school, my twin immediately went to her group of friends, I, on the other hand, went in line to find out what classes we were in. Of course the answer only worsened my mood.
"Chou…"
She looked at me curiously "yes?" She asked
"You're in Class 1-A" I replied
She let out a girly squeal "Did you hear that girls, I am in the same class as you!"
"I'm in class 1-C" I continued mostly to myself
She turned back to look at me with a frown which quickly changed to a smile "This is good, Ayome, This means we wont get mixed up this year!"
It felt like a slap in the face, she didn't seem to care that we had been together all our lives and now we were going to get torn apart! I could not linger though, my sister left me to go to class with her friends, and I was left to go alone, knowing no one else. I walked up the stairs and down the carpeted hall, not sure where I was going but hoping I was going the right way. I could see groups of older students walking to there separate classes with friends, I was alone, I was frightened.
"Why, princess, are you lost?"
I felt even more frightened as I turned around to face three students. One with Blonde hair and blue eyes holding hands with a girl with chine length brown hair, and behind them was a boy with red hair and brown eyes, though much mature looking then those many years ago, I knew it was that boy, it was him. My nerves got the best of me.
"N…no…I'm fine" I said feeling my face turn red.
"Tamaki, you're scaring her!" Replied the girl
"Haruhi, how dare you say such a thing!" Replied the blonde boy, Tamaki, looking very hurt.
The red haired boy looked uninterested "Come on, we are going to be late!" He retorted. I couldn't keep my eyes off of him, he seemed different, he wasn't smiling, and he didn't seem friendly. He walked around the two and past me without another glance. I felt my heart throb in pain of being passed up.
"Young lady, if you like, as an apology of freighting you, come to our host club to be entertained for free, music room #3" Tamaki replied with a very charming smile that could have made any girl melt. I nodded politely to him and he took my hand and kissed it before leading Haruhi away.
A host club? I wondered, my sister had mentioned it; perhaps he would be there as well!
