The rain, pouring down, my new school uniform soaked. But I don't feel a thing. Life is just a tattered old rag waiting to be thrown out. There's nothing left for me. I don't know why I even bothered coming to Japan. My cousin forced me into coming here, 'To escape my old life' she said. I didn't know if starting new would work for me. A broken heart is very fragile and not something one should toy with.
Whatever, I was here because she had begged me to come see her and live with her because I'd been shredded back in America. How was I supposed to know that my life would crumble before my very eyes with one fateful crush?
I gazed above, through the raindrops, through the cascading tears, and recovered the beginning moment of my sorrow. Reminiscing to the last week of eighth grade...
I sighed as the numbers were written on the board without end. I couldn't help but begin to shut my eyes in boredom. An almost deep voice awoke me, "Don't fall asleep now. I know this is boring but you're gonna need to pull yourself through it ok?"
My eyes blinked open to see a pair of greenishblue eyes stare back at her along with a wide smile on a young man's face.
"Hi I'm Hiroki. What's your name, sleepy?"
I blushed. "Amaya." I replied shakily.
"Nice to meet you. Hey do you need any help?"
"Uhhh yeah can you help me please?"
"I thought you'd never ask."
I soon developed ahard corecrush on Hiroki. I also found out that we were both part Japanese, explaining our names, and that we would have two of the same classes together next year so I would him some part of the day. His crazy antics and impressions were hilarious and he never ceased to amaze me. Hiroki was friendly, smart, cute, and funny. He was definitely my dream guy come to life. However, my dreams came to a halt then reality decided to crash my party.
Hiroki had a girlfriend and he bluntly said it to my face. I'll never forget the words he used after I had bundled up the courage to ask him out, 'Never in a million years. I have a girlfriend who's ten times better than you.'
It figured that I would be rejected; I always had been by almost every guy I liked. It was sad but true. After discovering this, I got sucked into a depression that worsened over summer. I soon got a call from my cousin. She'd screamed in my ear, words laced with hatred once I had told her about Hiroki. "Don't you dare do anything rash! I swear I will come to America myself and kick his butt if I gotta!"
I reassured her that this was not necessary and she gave up for that moment. It was then that the bright idea as she proclaimed it to be struck her. "How about you come move to Japan and live with me? You could even transfer to Ouran high! You definitely have the brains for it!" My mom agreed to her plan and I was packed and off without another trace.
So here I stood not three days after I had been tossed aside by my previous love named Hiroki, in front of a prestigious school for the 'rich and beautiful' as my cousin, Hoshimi had put it over an email. The rain continued to drench me in its self and I approached the school, each step heavier than the last. I still felt like I was running away from….him. I wasn't sure if I should've come. There was no turning back now, I decided.
"Amaya!"
I raised my head to see a long haired brunette run towards me with a huge smile spread across her face. Something else seemed different about her. We'd oovoo'd a few days before and she hadn't been nearly this ecstatic. I attempted to return a smile but only got half of one.
"Hey there cousin."
"I'm so glad you're here! I can't believe your parents agreed to this!" Hoshimi squealed.
"I know right." I laughed and my cousin giggled as well. We headed towards our classroom, catching up on things. I discovered that the reason she was so happy was because she had found herself a boyfriend, a twin, named Kaoru. This Kaoru guy was also in our class I found out. But that wasn't the first thing to catch my attention. Oh no. The first was a tall, blonde second year with violet eyes and a dazzling aura that struck me with full force the second I laid eyes on him.
Hoshimi shook me, "Hey! Amaya! Wake up! Don't faint on me dammit."
After hearing, 'Wake up' the image of Hiroki filled my vision. Tears followed the picture and I collapsed to my knees. Her voice screamed out, "AMAYA, ARE YOU OK?" I sat up slowly and eventually calmed down Hoshimi. At the end of the day she told me to meet her in the third abandoned music room.
The minute I entered, rose petals flew out. A group os boys said, "Welcome to the Ouran High School Host Club!"
"Hoshimiiiiiiiiiiiii!"I yelled.
