It was the second semester in Ouran High School Academy. Where everyone starts off fresh and claims that they will do a lot better than their last, and not only that but there were the fresh newbs of the school that would attend to the wealthy academy. Where spoiled brats and two faced people bond and spread endless gossip and try to manipulate you into doing anything they wanted. Not the right place for someone new to such a school.
"Tamaki-Sama, who is that girl down there?" A small innocent voice asked as she gestured over to the window. As if all at once the host club members scurried over to the window to see who the girl was talking about as their eyes landed on a young lady gazing into the water. She looked around seventeen with wavy dark brown hair and bright green eyes with glowing light brown skin. It was no doubt that she wasn't from Japan.
"She's a newb" The devilish twins said in unison, clearly they weren't amused by this. That was unless she happened to stumble her way into the Host Club.
"Her eyes are so strange, they remind me of cat eyes." A girl whispered causing everyone else to bundle up into gossip.
"What do you mean I'm starting school here today?" A frown was plastered on my lips as my light green eyes gazed onto the clear water; it was unusual to see such clean water. Not only that, it was strange to be around a place that resembled a college campus.
"What are you talking about Arina? Surely you shouldn't be bothered by this it's nothing new, and don't give me that tone of voice." My mother huffed looking over my outfit, my wavy hair brushed past my shoulders as I wore a floral black skirt with red roses, white blouse, and black flats.
Running my fingers through my hair I didn't bother to argue with my mother. At times my attitude just slipped every so often. That was the last thing on my mind, this school that was in front of me was a big problem. I Koyama Arina born in America and raised in Italy was now in Japan going to an insanely rich school. I still didn't know how to take this in, sure, I was smart and had good grades but after going to a school in Italy along with America this was something new. I wasn't the girl that was always surrounded by nice things and got whatever I wanted whenever I wanted. I had to earn such things.
"How did I even end up being in a school like this Naomi?" I said calling my mother by her first name like I normally did.
"Call me mom sweetie. I'm sure you'll like it." She continued walking up to me giving me a peck on the cheek; I sighed. As she patted me on the shoulder I couldn't help but to feel a dozen of eyes on the back of my skull. Slowly turning around my eyes landed on a few windows as eyes looked back down onto mine.
Mentally rolling my eyes I grabbed my mother's hand dragging her into the building. As if I would like a school such as this, I didn't even know why my parents chose to stay at a place like Japan, I didn't even like Japan. Sure we were fluent speakers thanks to our family tree being so chaotic. I was part Japanese, Korean, African-American, Italian, and I was confident I was more than that.
"While I'm in the office I want you to take a look around, I'll call you later." Was all I heard from my mother's lips as she disappeared down the hall.
There wasn't much for me to do, I would have rather followed my mother's shadow and be the good little girl I was destined to be. Wishing to follow my father's company and continue to live on our famous name for being well know physiology doctors. As well with my mother seeing that she was mostly into planning charities and parties of all sorts. It was pretty much clear that I didn't know what to do with my life at this point; I was too mixed up with what I really wanted to do. I just wanted to disappear and let all my problems dissolve in front of my eyes. We all knew that wouldn't happen, I was a teen and all teens knew that they would have to face problems such as this.
I couldn't lie, this Academy was very nice in my eyes and it seemed like a place I would enjoy. The down side to things was that the uniform would surely make me stand out with my light brown skin, I was very picky with things and this was something I couldn't change.
"Third Music Room?" I paused in front of the door; I was noticing that there were a lot of music rooms and not one dance room. I danced quite often but I wouldn't get far if the only place I had to dance was my room. Pressing my ear up to the door I heard a muffle of chats, it seemed to be that they were having a good time. With the occasional fan girl scream I had to open the door to see what was going on.
It was bold of me to do so feeling like the outcast since I was the only one out of uniform. Unlike any other girl blushing from embarrassment I calmly closed the door behind me and looked around. Not wanting to cause any more attention to myself I sat down in a chair gazing upon the squealing girls. There weren't but a few boys in this room, it seemed that they were showering the females with endless complements along with stealing their hearts without any hassle.
"Excuse me, Koyama Arina." A mellow voice rung in my ears as I looked over to a man around my age with black hair and gray eyes, he was quite handsome was all that I could point out that and utterly insane for knowing my name.
Sitting up in the chair I crossed my legs still eyeing him, there was something about him that just put me on the edge of my seat. As if I had to do everything in my will power to not mess up anything. "Yes…? Is there something I did wrong?" I raised a brow, it wasn't everyday that a handsome boy would walk up to you and know your name.
He fixed his glasses still starring down at me, "Not really, I was just seeing how you like Ouran so far. You seemed to cause quite a fuss not too long ago." I thought for a moment thinking back to where I was looking at the fountain.
"Oh, so you all were starting at me. I wouldn't say that I'm just your everyday new student. What's your name by the way?" I said casually, he was smart, way too smart making me wonder if he ever had his slow moments.
"Ootori Kyoya," He replied with a smile as she grasped my hand kissing it which made my heart skip a beat. It was rare for someone his age to be such a gentlemen unless he was trying to get into my pants; I knew that wasn't the case. All I could say was that his parents raised him quite well.
"Who is this lovely maiden?" A cheery male voice rang making me and Kyoya turn our heads toward the voice. The stranger suddenly had a grasp on my hand as his fingers brushed underneath my chin.
"Such a beautiful lady, My name is Tamaki Suoh." I couldn't reply since I was still in shock with how bold this other was.
"Boss you're scaring the poor girl." I looked over with confusion at the twins as they introduced themselves as being Hikaru and Kaoru Hitachiin. Twins I know I wouldn't be able to keep up with.
Shaking my head I closed my eyes pushing the hands of Tamaki away from my personal space. "I'm not scared. It's not every day that a young man calls a woman beautiful and caresses his fingers under her chin without being hesitant." I said standing up fixing my skirt; I wasn't expecting all of this so soon.
"Aw you're leaving already? Are you going to come back?" A little boy asked as his eyes beamed into mine. I felt a twinge of guilt seeing that he was disappointed and his rather large friend behind him left me a little intimidated. "I'm Mitsukuni Haninozuka and that's Takashi Morinozuka!"
"Come on guys leave her alone it was clear that she didn't want to cause any trouble." My eyes landed on a girl-boy…Whatever it was. "Sorry that their causing you a bother. I'm Haruhi Fujioka."
"No it's okay; I'm just a little overwhelmed. It's nice to meet all of you, such a nice welcome. What is this place anyway?" I smiled fully hopping to be more relaxed.
"Why it's a host club! Where we shower ladies with fantasies and their ideal dream man!" I gave a small nod , as he explained the different types; The Lolita type, the silent type, The little devil type, The prince type, The cool type, and The normal type. There were so many types I couldn't possibly pick. The other host went back to work seeing that the girls were getting quite jealous from me getting all of the attention. I couldn't blame them, some strange girl appearing out of nowhere and was able to attract the attention of seven attractive men minus Mitsukuni and Haruhi for personal reasons. What can I say; it was a gift of mine that I was blessed with.
"Well," I crossed my arms in a thoughtful gaze, "There's so many of you I don't know who to choose." It was true, I couldn't handle so many types. I needed someone who could handle being in silence for a while. That meant that Mitsukuni and the twins were out of the picture along with the lovely prince that stood before me. Leaving me with Takashi, Kyoya, and Haruhi which helped slightly. Takashi was a little bit too silent for my taste seeing that he was like the most of the time. I had to have a decent conversation with people that had more than two words to say so he was out. Haruhi seemed like a nice person but by the way his little group of girls looked at me I knew I wouldn't get along with any one of them.
"I'd like to be with the cool type."I decided with a final nod looking over at Tamaki. "You look a little disappointed. Were you hoping for me to pick you?" I asked tilting my head to the side with a soft smile. I thought it was cute how he was a little let down.
"Actually yes I was but I can't do anything about it my princess. I must go but until then." He said twirling around back to his small table leaving me here standing next to Kyoya. I coughed back a laugh, I didn't know Tamaki at all and I could already tell that I would enjoy having him as a friend.
"Is there something the matter?" I looked over to Kyoya shaking my head.
"I was just thinking, Is Tamaki-Senpai always so…Animated?"
"Yes, he is sadly he's a bit of an air-head too." I cocked a brow over to him with a smile still on my lips. Just as I was about to ask him how he knew my name in the first place my phone buzzed.
"I have to go, it's been nice meeting you Kyoya-Senpai." I bowed suddenly remembering how things were in Japan. You had to be very polite unlike in America. "I surely hope you can meet my needs next time we meet. I'll tell you know, I'm not like the girls you see before you. I'm…Hard to please." Noting the curiosity in his eye I left the club with a satisfied look on my facial features. I had a feeling that I would be able to know more about the host club and the men in it. I was actually hopping to know them on a friendly level instead of them just knowing me as "the-girl-who-would-hang-out-with-Kyoya". Maybe attending to a new school wouldn't be so bad after all.
