Chapter 1: Why is he so annoyed?

**Haruhi's POV**

The wind caressed my short brown hair as I walked into the gate. Cherry blossom petals danced gracefully in sync with the wind that passed through my eye glasses.

I entered the school gates with people looking at me. Was it because of my ugly appearance? Is it because I looked nothing like a girl but I'm wearing the ladies' uniform? Nothing made sense.

I walked and walked until I found my classroom, I'm afraid to enter. This is my first time in a public school. What if I get teased or bullied? I heard before, that it is quite popular among public schools.

But I still have to enter the room no matter what.

"Okay, class this is our new transfer student from Ouran high school, Fujioka Haruhi." the teacher said.

"Uhm, hello everyone I'm Fujioka Haruhi, nice to meet you all." I said in a croaky voice.

No one seemed to care, they all looked so bored. It's like I'm not standing there at all. Is it because I'm not beautiful in any way no matter how you look at me?

Is it because of my big eye glasses and short frizzy hair? Is that their basis of how to treat other people? I'm really pissed.

"Okay Fujioka, you'll be sitting at the back next to the window." The teacher instructed.

As I walked forward to go to my seat, I felt that sensei took off something away from me, something really important that I was trying hard not to be taken away from me, MY WIG.

My hair gracefully fell right down where it should be, just about my hips.

I felt really annoyed with what that idiotic teacher did. When I took a glimpse at my classmates, their faces suddenly looked interested in me.

They're finally aware of my existence there. Some of them really looked stunned but some of them were annoyed. I blushed, because I have no intention of showing them what I really look like behind this disguise; WIG AND EYE GLASSES.

"Sensei, why did you do that?!" I cried with a hint of total irritation towards him.

I went to my seat, eyes glancing towards my direction. I felt really conscious about my appearance and about my classmates' reaction towards what happened.

They might think that I am showing off. They might think that I have been collaborating with the teacher to plot some scheme just to stand out. It's not like that at all; actually I'm trying hard not to stand out.

I just looked out the window frowning, still being pre-occupied with the exposure-of-my-face-thing. Then I heard a voice from my right side.

"Hi I'm Hikaru; I'll be your seatmate for the rest of the quarter, nice to meet you." It was such a nice voice and it had a certain ring to it.

My mind was still wandering somewhere, still thinking about the incident so I haven't responded immediately. I heard him say "Okay" in an annoyed voice so even though it's too late I still answered back.

"Hi I'm Haruhi, nice to meet you too." And I gave him a warm smile.

After we introduced ourselves, we chatted for a while.

"So why did you transfer from that school to here? I mean, it's the elite school Ouran, our school is nothing compared to that." Hikaru said.

"Family matters, financial to be specific." I said.

I lied to him. Actually the only reason of me transferring here is that I want to experience a normal high school life.

I want to know how it felt like to go to a public school and walk to and fro from home and school. I want to have friends from normal families and eat with them at lunch or go to the karaoke with them every weekend. I really want to experience those things.

Actually, my family, as you can see is REALLY RICH. That's why since I was a kid, I haven't experienced anything normal.

I haven't even stepped one foot at a karaoke lounge. That's why I thought that this is the right time for me to do what I want.

"Oh so anyway, why did you wear those weird looking stuffs, I mean, you know, the wig and the glasses." He curiously asked.

At first I really couldn't answer but I gathered up my courage and said,

"Actually *sigh* I was, uhm, you know, uhm, STALKED before, so since then, I kind of disguised myself to conceal my looks"

"Oh, that must be tough" he said.

Time flew by quickly and before I knew it, lunch is almost up.

"Hey do you have any company at lunch? Well if you don't mind, I can take you around the school premises." Hikaru gladly offered with a husky voice. He smiled.

I kind of felt my heartbeat skip a beat and my cheeks slightly blushed.

"Okay please do the honors." I said acting all cool so he won't notice.

"Great." He said and then the bell rang.

It's lunch already. I fixed my things and looked at Hikaru who was also looking at me.

"Let's go" he said. But before I could say okay, someone interrupted.

"Hikaru, let's eat together." It's a man's voice. I saw him before, the annoyed one, when my disguise was taken off. But I'm not quite sure what his name was.

"Oh sorry, but I promised Haruhi, that I'd take her around for lunch." Hikaru said.

I felt sorry for the guy because I snatched away his friend from him so I said,

"Uhm, classmate-kun *I seriously don't know his name!* if you'd like, you could eat lunch with us I really don't mind." I smiled at him.

"Okay." He said. I can see that his annoyance with me moved from level 1 to level 2.

As we headed for the door, silence immersed. The anonymous guy looked back at me and said,

"By the way, my name is not 'classmate-kun', its Tamaki." I could really tell from his looks and from the tone of his voice that he's absolutely no doubt, annoyed with me.
