(Haruhi's point of view)
Some people enjoy school because of friends and activities. Others enjoy it by working and studying. But most here at Ouran Academy enjoy it because… of the Host Club. I would know that because I am in the host club. Now how would a girl be into a Host Club if it is all boys only? Well here is my story.
I was looking for a library to study in, only to find out that all four of the libraries here are everything but quiet. I was roaming through the halls looking for a quiet room to study. I passed by Music Room #3 and thought it was abandoned. I opened the door to find six good-looking boys in the middle of the room in a group.
There was a tall short-haired blond with violet eyes sitting in a chair in the middle. A tall boy with black short hair and brown eyes and glasses standing to the left of the blond. Another tall black short-haired but with no glasses and with a serious look on his face that was standing behind the other black haired but with his back to him. In front of the serious one, there was a rather small, looks like he should be in fifth or sixth grade with short blond hair and brown eyes holding a pink bunny. Then across from them were two twins with short auburn hair and brown eyes with their arms linked and leaning agents each other.
"Welcome," they all said.
"Th-this is a host club?," I stammered.
"Oh wow. It's a boy," the twins said together.
"Hikaru, Karou, I believe this young man is in the same class as you, isn't he?," the one with glasses asked.
"Yeah, but he's shy. He doesn't act very sociably so we don't know much about him," the twins, Hikaru, and Kaoru, said in unison.
The one with glasses smirked. Why were they talking to the others, but not ask me? And was I just called…a boy? "Well that wasn't very polite. Welcome to the Ouran Host Club… Mr. Honor student," the one with glasses said. The one sitting in the chair stood up and got in my face.
"What? You must be Haruhi Fujioka! You're the exceptional honor student we've heard about!" I just stared at him.
"How did you know my name?"
"Well you're infamous. It's not every day that a commoner gains entrance into our academy," the one with glasses said. "You must have an audacious nerve to work hard enough to fight into this school as an honor student, Mr. Fujioka."
"Well uh… thank you I guess."
The tall blond put his arm around my shoulders.
"You're welcome! You're a hero to other poor people, Fujioka. You've shown the world that a poor person can excel at an elite private academy." I squirmed away from his grasp and he followed very dramatically. "It must be hard for you to constantly be looked down upon by others."
"I think your taking this poor thing in too far-"
"Neglected, now long live the poor! We welcome you poor man to our world… of beauty!"
I started walking towards the doors. "I'm outta here."
"Hey!" I heard someone yell. Two arms grabbed mine and pulled me back. "Come back here Haru-chan! You must be like a super hero or something! That's so cool!" It was the small blond with the bunny.
"I'm not a hero, I'm an honor student. And who are you calling Haru-chan!" I yelled.
"I never would have imagined the famous scholar… would be so openly gay," the tall blond said.
"Openly what?" I asked myself.
"So tell me what kind of guys you are into! Do you like the strong silent type? The boy-Lolita type? How about the mischievous type? Or the cool type?"
"Ah, I uh… it's not like that! I was just looking for a quiet place to study!" The blond slipped his hand under my chin.
"Or maybe," he said while getting really close to my face, "You're into a guy like me." He moved his middle finger back and forth. "What do you say?" I gasped and started backing up and bumped into the vase. I turned around and tried to reach for it, but I couldn't and it broke into a million pieces. I realized the twins appeared behind me.
"Aww," they said together. Then only one of them spoke. "We were going to feature that to the renaissance vase in an upcoming school auction." The other one spoke. "Oh, now you've done it, commoner! The bidding on that vase was supposed to start at eight million yen!"
"What eight million yen! How many thousand yen is that? How many thousands are in a million?," I started ranting to myself. "Uh… I'm going to have to pay you back," I said while turning around. "With what money?" the twins said together. "You can't even afford a school uniform." Then only one spoke again. "What's with that crap of an outfit that you've got on anyway?" The one with glasses picked up a shard of glass.
"Well, what do you think we should do, Tamaki?" The tall blond, Tamaki, answered, "There's a famous saying you've may have heard, Fujioka. 'When in Rome, you should do as the Romans do.' Since you have no money, you can pay with your body. That means starting today; you're the host club's dog." I stare off into space and they all crowd around me and poking me trying to get my attenti-
"What cha writing there, Haruhi?" I gasp and sit up from my desk. Tamaki was leaning over my shoulder trying to read what I wrote.
"Nothing. I was just writing how I met you guys and how I became a host. I am writing everything that goes on here when I'm around, "I said while looking at him. I looked at his beautiful violet eyes. I blushed and looked away.
"I have decided that we are going to have a field trip!," Tamaki said while extending his arm like the big drama queen he is.
"Where are we going?" I wanted to go to the beach again. That was kind of fun. Well, except when those two boys came and when the thunder storm hit.
"That is why I am telling you! Because Kyouya and I are always the ones who decide everything, we want you to chose!"
"Hey! What about us? We never get to chose where we want to go. Why let our 'toy' chose?" the twins complained.
"Fine! Everyone write down where you would like to go," Tamaki explained while handing us a piece of paper and a pencil, "and I will draw it out of this cup!," he said while holding a teacup in the air. What is up with him today? It's like he had a special place in mind for himself or…
"Haruhi… are you going to write down where you want to go?" Tamaki said while starring at me.
I looked down at the paper and wrote Beach. Before I could fold it, Tamaki-sempai took it out of my hand and put it inside of the cup. Kyouya put his in, then Hunny-sempai and Mori-sempai. The twins put theirs in and started talking about pranks that they can pull while on this trip. I ignored them and stood up. I walked over to the doors and opened the door.
"Haru-chan! Do you want to eat some cake with me?" I turned around to find Hunny-sempai holding Usa-chan with Mori-sempai behind him.
"Not now, Hunny-sempai. I have work to do. I will later though!" I smiled at him and he laughed. "Okay! Come on Usa-chan. You can pick the cake for us today!" I watched him walk away. It must be nice to pretend like everything is okay all of the time. I wonder what he wrote down for our field trip this weekend. Well as long as everyone is happy…
I turned around and kept walking. I closed the door on my way out and walked towards the bathroom. Because everyone except all of the members of the Host Club think I am actually a guy, I have to be careful when I go in the ladies restroom or people would think I am a girl… or just stalking other girls. No one was around so I walked in. It is a one stall bathroom so I can lock the door. I really didn't have to go, I just wanted some free time to myself… even if it is only a couple minutes. I looked at myself in the mirror. I don't understand why the twins and Tamaki are always strange around me and not others. Is it because that I am the only girl host? Or could it be that I am just their toy? I wouldn't know. I might not even know.
I turned the cold water on and splashed some on my face. I sighed. This is going to be a long weekend and I know it.
