PLEASE NOTICE BEFORE READING
As you can see, this fic is many years old. I wrote this fic when I was in the 8th grade and continued it into my freshmen and sophomore year of high school. This fic reflects my attitudes of that time. I was naive and stupid and didn't know any better at the time I wrote this. So there will be things in this chapter that may be offensive because of it.
I can assure you, now that I am in college, my views have definitely changed for the better. I hate my past self and the things I wrote in this fic, which is why I am working on a rewritten version to fix everything. Please keep this in mind as you proceed to read this story.
The alarm clock blared, until Yuki slammed the snooze button. She groaned, but refused to get up. Nine minutes later, it went off again. She hit it again, and slept longer. This occurred many times until finally, Yuki got tired of hitting the snooze so many times. She turned off the alarm clock without looking at the time. She looked at it. She screamed and sat up.
"I'm so lateee!" She screamed, jumping out of bed. She ran and changed her clothes. "On my first day!" She added. She ran out the door with toast in her mouth. She hopped on her bike and tore up the sidewalk for biking so fast. "Kyaa!" She parked her bike and jumped into the school building. She rushed up to the front desk and tried to look presentable by running her fingers through her hair to get the snarls out.
"May I help you?" The woman behind the desk asked.
"My name is Ikeda Shirayuki. I'm the new transfer student." She said cheerfully.
"Oh! You're here! Here's your schedule and school uniform." She handed me the slips of paper, then a boys' uniform.
"A boys' uniform! This must be a mistake!" Yuki protested. The woman behind the desk looked over her glasses and noticed the boys' uniform.
"I'm terribly sorry, miss. But we've ran out of the female's uniform. I thought you would be more comfortable in a boys' uniform than… that." She said, eyeing Yuki's old t-shirt and jeans.
"Why would you think that! I'm a girl!" Yuki protested.
"Well, you can wear that or wear regular clothes. But I thought you wouldn't like your grades to get any lower than they already are." She said coolly.
"Gahh!" Yuki said freaking out. She ran out with her stuff and looked for a place to change into her uniform. She saw a sign above a door saying, "Powder Room." Yuki sighed. Rich kids. She thought as she entered the room. It was deserted. But to feel more private, Yuki hid behind a corner. She quickly changed and stepped out from behind the corner. "Hey! This might not be so bad!" Yuki said cheerfully, as she modeled in the mirror. Then she noticed the rip on the sleeve. "Oh darn… I guess I'll fix it when I get home." Yuki checked herself again in the mirror and realized how much she looks like a guy.
She hair was short just like a guy's. It was a black that shined midnight blue in the sunlight. Her eyes were big and a deep reddish purple. She sighed and smoothed out her hair. Then, she walked out the powder room and looked at her schedule. She was in class 1-A. She hoped to get into a higher class, but with her grades, she wouldn't be surprised that she got in a lower class. But she promised to try harder this year at Ouran because her brothers were paying for the entire thing when they were saving up for college.
"Where do I start in this huge school!" She cried, looking around. After running around in many different hallways, she was back in the beginning. She shuffled through her papers after taking them out of her bag. She flipped through them and then stopped. It was the school map. Yuki anime fell. "There it is!" She pointed to it on the map. It was in the other building. She anime fell again.
Yuki finally made it to her room and she walked right in before she could realize what she was doing. All eyes were on her. She gulped and forced herself forward.
"Sorry I'm late! I'm Ikeda Yuki." She said nervously to who looked like the class president.
"Oh! You're the new transfer student!" The class president greeted. "My name is Kazukiyo Soga. Please to meet you! You can take a seat behind Hikaru and Karou." He said pointing to the seat in behind redheaded twins. Yuki sighed and walked over there.
"Is that the new student?"
"He's a boy, right?"
"So cute!"
"He seems nervous!"
"I wish I can sit next to him!" These whispers floated through the air, but Yuki was too tired to hear them. She sat down quietly in the back, and quickly dozed off. The Hitachiin brothers smirked.
"A new student… You thinking what I'm thinking, Karou?" Hikaru asked.
"Of course, Hikaru. Looks like another commoner." Karou said.
"What are you guys up to?" Haruhi asked.
"Oh, nothing!" These said in unison. Haruhi glared at them, then focused back on the lesson. The brothers smirked again.
"Hey, Yuki. Wake up. Wake up, Yuki." Soga's voice said. Yuki's eyes fluttered open startled. "You fell asleep during class! Don't make it a habit." He said. The classroom was empty. School must be over.
"Oh, sorry." Yuki said sheepishly. She collected her things and rushed outside. She grabbed her bike and hopped on it. But her bike was so hard to handle, that she crashed and burned. She tried to do it once more, but then her bike completely fell apart. She checked the tires and started to let the air out of them, when mayonnaise oozed out. She looked around, then spotted Hikaru and Karou laughing really hard. They were on the ground, clutching each other. A glare swept across Yuki's face.
"HIKARU! KAROU!" She screamed and then darted after them. They stopped laughing and ran away. She chased them throughout the school, with a scary look on her face. They had a terrified look on theirs. Yuki was almost on their heels. "You're gonna pay!" She said in a scary tone. Hikaru and Karou took cover in the Third Music Room. Yuki didn't slow down. She opened the door. Rose petals flew past her. She ran inside. "You're dead meat!" She threatened. She spotted them hiding behind five handsome boys, one of them her classmate.
Yuki charged towards them, and they took off. Yuki dived and tackled one of them and they wrestled. She grabbed the collar of his shirt, but then the other twin began to peel her off. She tackled that twin and they wrestled around the room, destroying it.
"Mayo in the tires…" Kyoya began, writing in his clipboard, "I know this won't get through your heads, but I'll ask you once again that if you're going to prank someone, leave the Host Club out of it. We can't have any damage done to the room. Our funds would go down the drain."
"You greedy little…" Hikaru began.
"How did you know what we were doing with the mayo?" cried Kaoru.
"Welcome to the Host Club. I am the King, Tamaki Suoh. What is a young fellow doing here?" He asked, getting up in Yuki's place. Yuki ignored him, stepped around him, and stormed over to Hikaru and Karou.
"You owe me a new bike!" She snapped.
"What did you do this time?" Haruhi asked.
"It was only a joke." They said in unison.
"What did you guys do?" Tamaki demanded.
"Milord, we pulled a small prank by loosening the bolts and putting Mayo in Yuki's bike." They said in unison.
"You're bleeding!" Hunny said, pointing to Yuki's cheek. "And you've got pictures on your face! Here! I'll get that!" Hunny reached up with a napkin, but was sadly too short and couldn't reach her face. Yuki was no taller than Haruhi. A tall, dark man came from behind Hunny and took his napkin. Mori then crouched and wiped Yuki's face properly, the marker coming write off and the blood disappeared.
"You hurt the new student! Haruhi demanded.
"It was only a joke." Hikaru protested.
"You owe me a new bike!" Yuki repeated angrily.
"Or what?" Karou asked. Yuki put on her scary face.
"I'll be your worst nightmare." She said coldly.
"No way." They both said bluntly. She anime fell.
"Gentlemen, gentlemen. I'm sure there's a way to work this out. My hansom looks will solve all of your problems!" Tamaki said, going off to fantasy land.
"Get lost. I'm not interested in talking to you." Yuki said coldly. Tamaki gasped, fell into despair, then went into his emo-corner. She turned back to the twins. "I'll make your family bankrupt!" She threated.
"Nuh-uh. You can't make us go bankrupt. You're just a commoner." They said in unison.
"Now, now. It's okay that a commoner is here in this school. Just take Haruhi for instance. Don't let these twins bring your spirits down." Tamaki said, putting his arm around Yuki. Yuki inched far away from him.
"Don't bring me into this!" Haruhi said.
"Ikeda Yuki. Yuki has a poor mother who works two jobs. His brothers are famous paramedic and lawyer. Her father is unknown." Kyoya read.
Yuki smirked while the twins jaws dropped.
"But…but…" They protested. "Fine." They pulled out their wallets and handed Yuki more money than she had planned for, which caught her off guard.
"That much! I just needed a new bike!"
"What? You're acting like that's the most money you can make in a week." Hikaru said.
"For a girl from such rich brothers, you seem like that that money is worth a lot more." Karou said, suspicious. Yuki jumped back, freaking out. She couldn't let them know…
"Well—" Yuki was cut off.
"Ah-ha!" Hikaru and Karou said, jumping up in her face. "You lied!" They hissed.
"N-no I didn't! It's just that, this is a lot of money for a bike. I didn't need this much." Yuki said, trying to get by. Hikaru and Karou noticed something behind Yuki, and smirked.
"Your expression gave something away, Yuki," Hikaru began, stepping forward. Yuki stepped back.
"You acted like that money was like a million bucks!" Karou said. Hikaru and Karou crept closer to Yuki, who continued to step back.
"Guys, what are you doing to him?" Haruhi asked.
"We're just curious. So, Yuki, why did you react the way you reacted? It's not natural for a RICH person from a RICH family." They both said simultaneously, getting into Yuki's face. Yuki jumped back, and a vase (that somehow was placed there, right behind Yuki) was knocked over. Yuki gasped, and reaches to grab it. She slips on a banana peel (that was randomly placed there). Her whole body sharply rounds the stand that the vase was on. She grabs the vase with her raised arms. Yuki slides across the floor with the vase above her head. She hits the wall, and saves the vase. But her body didn't stop moving, so her arms flung into the wall, and it broke into many pieces.
"Ahh! We were going to feature that vase in a silent auction this weekend!" Hikaru said.
"But you broke it! Now you've done it!" Karou said. Yuki stood there, frozen in place with her jaw wide open. "The bidding on that vase was to start at 16 million yen!"
"It-it was an accident! I'm sorry! Wait, 16 MILLION YEN!" Yuki cried. Tamaki high-fived Hunny and Kyoya behind Yuki's back. "Why so high! That's outrageous!" Haruhi placed her fist on the palm of her hand in realization.
"Whoa, déjà vu!" Haruhi said aloud.
"For a commoner…" Hikaru said. "Now you'll have to pay us back." Yuki anime fell.
"You're kidding, right! I can't pay that!" Yuki said.
"Just ask your bros for the money, unless you're poor…" Hikaru said. Yuki sighed and hung her head.
"I'm sorry, but I can't pay off the vase…" Yuki said sheepishly. Hikaru and Karou high-fived in victory. "My brothers spent all their money for me to stay here at Ouran. My mom only spends her money on beer, poker, cigarettes, and Michio's college." Yuki explained. "My father is dead. He died when I was two." Tamaki and Hunny were crying on each other from the story.
"Oh, my dearest Yuki!" Tamaki cried. "I'm so sorry to hear that! Forget the broken vase! You just go right home and rest!" He hugged her tightly, stroking her hair.
"Hey! When I broke the vase, you made me join this stupid club!" Haruhi protested.
"Well he still has to pay for the damages to our room." Kyoya pointed out. "I think enslavement is our best option."
"You owe us, Yuki. If you can't pay us, then you'll be our little slave." Hikaru and Karou said coldly. "But, if you can win a game, then we'll cut your debt in half." They smirked.
"Oh, God…not this game…" The club members said. Hikaru and Karou threw on brown caps, covering how they part their hair.
"Let's play, Which One is Hikaru!" They said cheerfully. They linked arms and spun around.
"You've got to be kidding me…" Yuki sighed. They stopped and waited for Yuki to choose. Yuki thought for a moment and examined them closely. "Hikaru is on the left, Karou is on the right." Yuki said.
"Your reason?" They asked.
"Well, for one, Karou is slightly shorter. And Karou's voice sounds different from Hikaru. Plus, it's just easy to tell you apart, like I have a twin too." Yuki said. Their expressions fell.
"Now your debt is down to 8 million yen." Kyoya said.
"8 million yen!" Yuki cried.
"Déjà vu again!" Haruhi said. "I got to pay 8 million yen too, but I'm paying off by working as a host here." Haruhi said to Yuki.
"From this day forward, you will now be our dog-boy since Haruhi has failed to do so!" Tamaki said. Yuki giggled. Then she just started randomly laughing because she just realized that they think she's a guy. "Hey, what's so funny?" Tamaki asked, poking her.
"Did you break Yuki-chan?" Hunny asked, poking Yuki. She couldn't stop laughing. Mori joined in poking Yuki because Hunny started to.
"Tamaki, you broke him! Now you owe us!" Hikaru said, poking Yuki. Karou joined in. Yuki finally calmed herself.
"Sure! This could be fun." She said.
"Now, our first order of business! Run to the store and get us some instant coffee!" Tamaki said. "Customers will be arriving soon!" He said.
