Athor's note: Hey guys, here's my first story after my super long break! I hope you enjoy it and critiques are welcome!
"We're here Miss Miyazaki," my driver said.
"Hm?" I grunted from the back of the limo, "Oh right!"
I hopped out of the car, my long, black hair and school books following me. Looking up at my new school, I felt shots of anxiety go through my brain. New schools were nerve racking and this one looked quite intimidating. The size of the courtyard was large enough but the building itself was ginormous! Yep, Ouran Academy was going to be a challenge alright. I blew at my bangs that just floated above my dark, blue eyes. This was kind of a habit of mine that I would practice whenever I got nervous.
Just put one foot in front of the other. You can do this, girl! I thought as I began walking towards the school.
However, walking itself was a trial because of the uniform I had to wear. It was a yellow dress that was a little on the poofy side and it was hard to get around in. Somehow, I managed to totter into the building and through the halls. I was almost to my homeroom when a familiar voice rang through the school's halls.
"Senka?! Is that you!?" it squealed.
I turned to see a girl who I had missed all summer. A big smile was painted on her face and her short, brown hair flopped up and down as she ran towards me.
"Oh, Senka!" she shrieked in delight as she glomped me, "I haven't seen you since last year! Can you believe we're freshman now?"
"Hey…K-Kimi," I managed to sputter as my best friend squeezed the breath out of me.
She finally let go and we were able to catch up and exchange stories the rest of the way to my homeroom which, surprisingly enough, was Kimi's too. Kimi and I had been friends since the first day of elementary school and we've been that way ever since. She's actually the only friend I've ever had but to me, one friend is all you need. I'm just not big on being social. Manga, anime, guns, and writing are what I prefer.
"So did you meet anyone special over break?" Kimi slyly asked as we walked into homeroom.
"W-what! No! C'mon, Kimi, you know how I am with guys," I sighed, leaning against a desk, "I'm not really all that good with the opposite gender!"
Kimi only laughed, "I'm just joking Senky-chan! It's not like I have one either!"
"But I will tell you that I'm in an intimate relationship with my new gun!" I announced with pride, "The Perazzi SCO Sporting gun! I bought it over break and I've taken it for a spin a couple of times! It's a great piece of work!"
"You're still into shooting ranges and guns?" Kimi sighed, "Oh Senka, when are you gonna woman-up and be more sophisticated?"
"You know that just isn't my style," I chuckled.
Just then the homeroom teacher came in and began class just as the bell rang. I happily took a window seat right next to my friend.
"Hey Senky-chan," whispered Kimi while the teacher began instructing, "There's this new club that just opened up here, it's called the Host Club. It's a club of cute boys dedicated to entertaining cute girls and they have their first opening today after school!"
"I told you I'm not into the opposite gender, Kimi," I whispered back, rolling my eyes, "Besides, I was planning on working on my story when I got home."
"Ok, but I'll keep pestering you, though," she whispered back in a funny voice.
I only smiled and rolled my eyes. Yep, that's Kimi Kanagawa for you!
Class was about ten minutes in when my eyes decided they were bored and wandered down onto my desk. I noticed, to my surprise, that there was a folded piece of paper sitting there. Looking over at Kimi, I wondered if she had passed it to me but I knew she outgrew stuff like that after the third grade. That's when I noticed a boy sitting in front of my with reddish- brown, spiky hair who was just barely glancing back at me with a smirk.
Great. I thought. My first day and I already have an annoying guy at my heels. I bet he's the kind of guy that whistles at girls at the beach; the ones I want to put bullets in! Well the best thing to do with them is just to ignore them.
I looked away from the note and back to the lesson as if I didn't see it but a few minutes later, I noticed a second note had appeared on my desk. This time, the boy and an exact duplicate of him sitting next to him were glancing back at me, snickering. I realized that they weren't going to stop so I discreetly took the notes and opened them. The first one read: "So you aren't into the opposite gender, huh?" and the second said: "So are you into the same gender?"
Well I, Senka Miyazaki, wasn't about to have rumors spread about that I was gay on my first day of high school. Under the second note's message, I wrote: "Neither, I prefer bullets and books." Then I handed it back to one of the doppelgangers and one of the opened it as the other read it with him. The two clasped their hands over their mouths like they were resisting the urge to burst into laughter. I didn't know what they thought was so funny but they managed to write a response and send it back without letting lose a single giggle. I opened the note again and under my message was written: "You'll find we're a nice substitute for both."
I blushed furiously at this and I looked up to see the two really trying not to laugh now at my embarrassed expression. It wasn't like I was flustered but I rarely ever got teased/ hit on by a guy since two years ago when I declared that I would never go to the beach again.
That's it! I thought. Just ignore them!
And that's just what I did. After the long class had ended and lunch was next, I noticed another note left on my desk. Looking around for the twins, they had seemed to have gone off to eat so I cautiously opened the slip of paper.
There written on the paper was a note that made me crumple it up, save it with the other notes for later, and plan on pinning them on a target at the shooting range.
"Well aren't you a feisty one. How about stopping by the Host Club after school today?"
AN: Well there's the first chapter! Next time: Tales and Troubles
