I hate school. I sighed rolling over in my far to comfortable bed, I just wanted to stay here, safe from the world away from all the horror and death. Okay, that might be a bit over dramatic but still. Everyday is dull and boring.

I suppose I should introduce myself. Not that anyone will care. I'm fairly unimportant, well I'm the daughter of Izumi inc. Sounds fancy, ne? Well, it's really not. All we do is build bridges, boats, aeroplanes, that kind of stuff. I find it boring. It's not like my input actually matters anyway, I'm the third child so my father will probably marry me off for a business deal. Not that I care, it's not really like I have anyone else who would want to marry me. I'm only 17 so I probably shouldn't think about all this, but I do. It's weird in a way.

"Sakura, get up now, you lazy child!" My maid, Maizuki, shouted up the stairs causing me to scowl. I really hate getting out of my bed. I am a morning person, as I usually wake up at 6am every morning but I like to just like in bed and think. I tend to think about stuff to much. When my parents actually listened to me they used to call me a worry wart. Not like I have much to worry about, but still, the world is so fragile. It doesn't, no, didn't take much for it to fall apart.

"Saku-chan!" I looked up to see my older sister, Chiharu standing by the door. I can almost never believe that she's older than me, she looks so young, so care free. Maybe it's because she never worries like I do. That's probably it but I suppose I can't stop worrying about life, it's just me. "Saku-chan, Maizuki-sama told me to wake you up~!" She smiled like getting out of my cosy bed for a thing like school is good. I sent daggers towards her with my eyes trying to tell her I didn't care, I really shouldn't have bothered. Chiharu can really be oblivious to people's emotions. It was annoying but I wouldn't say anything about it t her, it would only upset her. She was always twice as annoying when she was upset, much more whiny.

"That's it," Maizuki stood at the door next to Chiharu staring at me angrily. She was used to this routine every morning, it was funny in a way as she never got me out of bed the same way twice. It was nice to know she cared enough to try not many people did these days.

"Is she refusing to get up again? Just leave her then, it doesn't matter," I could hear my brother's cold laugh even though I hid under the blankets. I hated him. I hated him so much, but he hates me too, so I suppose that even things out, a bit.

"Don't be mean, Ichiro," I heard a loud thump accompany Maizuki's comment, I hope she hit him, hard.

"Just being honest," I could almost see the scowl on his face. It almost made me laugh, almost.

"Saku-chan, come on, wake up~! You promised you'd come to the Host club with me today~!" Chiharu's wail echoed around my room loudly, like I said, she's annoying when upset.

"I'll get her up," Maizuki's mischievous voice echoed around the room only mildly scaring me. But it was enough. With a deep sigh I sat up and stared at them all.

"Yay~! You're up, now get dressed, we're going to be late~!" Chiharu grinned, she was already up and dressed in the yellow dress we had to wear. She loved to wear it she said it was pretty and girly, exactly her type of dress. I on the other hand hated it, I tripped in it all the time, once it got caught on a lose nail and ended up with me falling down some stairs. Not that any one noticed, no one notices me. I gave a final sigh before climbing out of my lovely, safe haven. Then I pushed them all out of my room taking extra care to shut the door before I got dressed, ready for another boring day of school.

"Hello Izumi-san," I turned round to see Nekozawa standing there. I gave a little wave and tried to muster up my best smile. He gave me a grin back but instead of waving his hand he waved the little puppet, I think it's called Bezelneff. It's kind of cute, in a creepy kill you at night way.

"Izumi-san, how are you today?" Reiko, his vice president stood next to him, smiling creepily. I'll give her this though her smile wasn't as creepy as Nekozawa's. His smile always sent shivers down my spine but I knew he had good intentions so I tried not to show it. They were creepy, the pair of them, but they where one of the few people who would talk to me. So, I liked them. They were nice to me and at there were so few people who were. I wasn't going to push away the people who did want to be my friend.

I gave a quick shrug of my shoulders in reply to her question, enough to just tell them I was alright.

"Ah~! Still being shy I see," laughed Nekozawa. I just rolled my eyes at his comment, I was used to people mentioning it. I stopped caring a long time ago though. "Well remember, you are welcome at the black magic club any time." He grinned at me, before running off when someone turned the lights on. From what I could tell he was squealing about how the sun was going to kill him. He really was quite weird sometimes.

I gave a little smile as they left before wandering into my class, 1A. Somehow, I'm in the top class, though I have no idea how I got in it, but then again at Ouran I find things are more to do with the amount in your bank account than your actual skill. As normal I went to my seat at the back, away from everyone. I used to get weird looks for doing this, but lately no one cared, or noticed. It's not like I'm interesting or popular. Why would they care what I do?

I sat at the back like the loner I am. It's not that I wanted to be surrounded by thousands of people, it's just I couldn't help but life if I had at least one person who understood me.

"Ohayou, Sensei," the rest of the class called out happily. It almost felt like they were happy about being in school. I wonder if they are crazy, though it would explain a lot. One thing being the fact that they like this yellow monstrosity that I have to wear. It's to fancy, it's impossible to get anything done it, but then that probably my clumsiness talking.

"Today we will be starting a new assignment," our Sensei grinned happily, thinking a project would be fun, I don't really know what is wrong with the teachers, but there is definitely something. I could see everyone looking at the friends, already they had decided who they were going to work with. I would be left on my own, again. Not that I cared. The work wasn't to hard so I could get it done on my own, it would take ages though. "But this time, I'm going to pick your partners." Now the teacher was grinning like crazy, which I'm starting to think she is. Why would she do this? I'll only disappoint my partner. At least when I do it on my own it's only me who fails.

"Sensei!" One of the twins called out, if I were to guess I would say it was Hikaru, but they change seats every day, so how should I know who is who?

"Can me, Hikaru and Haruhi work together?" The other one, Karou, asked. I guess that means I was right last time, that's another pointless achievement for me. So happy.

"...No," replied our Sensei, mildly confused. But I don't blame her she had just explained we weren't allowed to pick our partners. The twins pouted sadly while the boy who sat in between them actually seemed slightly relieved. Weird, I thought they were friends. Oh well, who cares? Not like it effects me in any way. "So, to find out who you are working with, please look at the board."

I looked up at the board to find my name was right at the end, which it usually was. People had a tendency to forget about me. I couldn't see who my partner was thanks to the thousand of heads that blocked my view. One of the few disadvantages of sitting at the back. I figured I would just wait till the end when every one had moved.

"Hi, I'm your partner!"
