CHAPTER 1 "Moving to Ouran"

Haruhi Fujioka—a daughter of the current Prime Minister of Japan. All throughout her life, it was her wish to become a normal person…so she has decided; she will disguise her self as a boy to be able to live a normal high school life, without letting her schoolmate's know about her true identity.

It was a wonderful Monday morning when she woke up. The sleepy-headed girl immediately stood up of, startled of the RING of the alarm clock beside her bed. Stretching, she looked at the clock. Seven forty-eight.

"Oh no…" she murmured to herself. "DARN IT! I'M GONNA BE LATE!!!"

When she has already freshen-up, she immediately zoomed downstairs.

"Haruhi!" Haruhi looked around, it was her father. "What are you in a hurry for?"

Curiously, her father examined her. "What you're wearing—isn't that boy's clothing?!"

Haruhi giggled. "Dad, stop being stupid," she said to her innocent father while grabbing the baguette on the plate in the table. (Baguette: a French bread with a hard crust). "Can't you see it's the latest trend?"

Her father blinked twice. "Well…" said her father. "your latest trend looks kinda boyish, don't you think?"

People could see—Haruhi didn't act much lady-like. Some adults hated her because of her attitude.

Haruhi nodded for her answer. She swallowed the bread in her mouth and told her father, "I'm going," while giving him a peck on the cheek.

Though kind of harsh, Haruhi becomes much of a girl when it comes to her mother.

"Please, take care of me," the brown-haired girl whispered to the girl who was smiling in the picture—her mother.

Then she waved goodbye and got on to their car.

Her father sweat-dropped. This was the daughter he had raised? But even though…she was much, much like her mother.

(:------------------------------------------------------------------------------:)

As Haruhi stepped out of the black car, she heard girls squealed.

'If they only knew,' Haruhi thought.

Class I-A—the class she's in. Somehow, she regret disguising as a boy because he was not deaf yet of the screams of the girls.

Stupid people…

Haruhi glanced at her clock. Eight fifteen. Fifteen minutes more.

"Wait a minute…" Haruhi thought aloud. 'Since it's first day…I can be late, can't I?'

The brown-haired girl cast a big grin. Her steps became faster, hoping she'll see most of the school during that time.

'I better hurry!' Haruhi thought.

BUMP!

For a minute, Haruhi felt she was about to fall, but a strong grip caught her arm.

When she opened her eyes, she immediately saw golden eyes. There was a boy in front of her…he had orange hair and golden-yellow eyes.

'What the hell!' she shouted inside; she could feel her heart beating fast and her cheeks flushing. 'This guy is so…well…hot!'

She blinked twice before she realized was going on. Quickly, she took her hand away.

"Ah…g-gomen!" she said as she stood up straight.

"Haaah? Don't say that! You sound like a girl!" the golden-eyed boy said the word 'girl' with such emphasis that it was like a virus of something.

"E-eeh? I…I'm not a girl! Dude, never! Nah-uh!" Haruhi said trying to deepen her voice and act more boyish.

"Hn. That's good. Anyway," the boy said. "Are you alright?"

Haruhi blinked again. What the hell was she feeling?! "Y-yeah! I'm fine! Uh…thanks?" She immediately, dusted her pants.

The boy nodded. "How come I have never seen you before?"

"Me? I'm…new," Haruhi said with a small giggle.

"Oh," the guy smiled. "I'm Hikaru Hitachiin from class I-A."

'Hikaru…' Haruhi thought. 'Gonna keep my eye on this one…'
