Chapter 1: Prologue
Why my best friend/sister went to the Host Club at Ouran Academy was beyond me! It's just a bunch of teenage boys giving false statements about love and affection to a bunch of screaming brain-dead girls in ugly yellow dresses. It was quite sickening really. But I always indulged her and took her there whenever she wants to go, which was about everyday. I only went with her to make sure that those vultures didn't do anything to her. Kobayashi, Nao has been my best friend since we were in diapers. Our parents met in the seventh grade and became fast friends, as did Nao and I. Nao always said that she felt as though we were sisters instead of friends. I remember that she came to me with a printed piece of paper giving instructions on how two people could become blood siblings. After reading it I was totally against the idea because it sounded weird. But Nao wouldn't give it up, so to stop her ranting I agreed. Even after all the fuss I gave on the idea I was glad that I did.
Nao and I didn't go to Ouran Academy. We went to Tokyo University of the Arts instead. I contemplated going to Ouran Academy but after looking at their Art courses I wasn't impressed. No wonder the rich brats at Ouran had no brains to speak of, they weren't being challenged enough. We even looked at Lobelia Academy for girls but I told Nao that I would have rather gone to a co-ed school.
The one thing I hated about being rich, besides living in a large house, was being surrounded by all those noisy gossiping maids and butlers who waited on you hand and foot. I actually liked to do my own things, it made me feel useless when other people did something for me. So since the Tokyo University of the Arts had dorm rooms, we stayed there instead.
Even though we didn't go to Ouran Academy, Nao dragged me there every single day after we got out of class. We usually stayed there at the Host Club from the time it opened to the time it closed. It may have been ruff on me to be around those flirty boys, but I could deal with it as long as Nao enjoyed going.
