Chapter 1~ Honey and feathers
I bounced up the front steps to Ouran Academy. I had finally gotten my music scholarship last week. All the rich snobs filled the corridors, they kept giving me weird looks. I turned my head away and got to my locker. I was in class 1-A so I had… Modern Japanese. I pulled out my map and scanned over it, and finally found Room 137. Man, this place had a lot of rooms. I followed the route and found the classroom. I was late. That always happens. I went and flopped down in a chair near the back next to some twins. "Hey! Who're you?" They asked in usion. "Kai." I fiddled with a pencil. They looked at each other, "I'm Hikaru." The one furthest from me said. "I'm Kaoru." The closer one. I smiled, "Hi." "So wadda you like doing?" They grinned at me. I shrugged, "Pranking people… Skateboarding, and music." "Cool! We love pranking people too!" I smiled. They looked over me, "So why are you wearing the guys' uniform?" I raised my eyebrow, "Are you serious?! I don't want to look like an old cupcake!" They laughed, so did I. The boys' uniform was more comfortable to me anyway. I do much better in guy clothes… And shoes. I just keep my hair long because it looks cool. My hair is bright red. When I looked back up, Kaoru was looking at me, "What?" He shook his head, "Nothing…" Then a little light bulb flashed above his head, "Hey! Why don't you come and see our club next free period?" "What kind of club is it?" I started tapping out a rock beat on my desk. "It's a host club." "A Host… Club? What's that?" My eyes flashed confusion. "It's a club where the school's most 'handsome boys' with way too much time on their hands, entertain ladies who, also, have way too much time on their hands." He paused, "Tono's quote not mine." He quickly added. "Oh-kay… Well, I'll see what it's like, I s'pose." I looked down to my desk and clicked my pen over, and over, and over, and over. "CAN YOU STOP THAT?!" A girl in front of me asked. "How about… No." I grinned and started clicking it again. My eyes flicked over to the twins. They were smirking. I frowned, "Why the smirks?" The twins glanced at each other, "Because you remind us so much of us!" They smiled. I shot them a thumbs up before going back to the serious business of clicking a pen.
Free Period! Took long enough. Well, to the Host Club! I strode down the corridor to Music Room 3. I flung open the doors and looked in. All eyes were on me. Girls sat at small tables with seven boys, including the twins. "Kai!" Hikaru and Kaoru bounded up to me. I smiled. Some of the stuck-up rich girls smirked and started whispering things to each other. I've been told there are bitchy girls at every school… I just proved that right I think. The twins danced around me. A tall blonde pranced up to me, "And who is this lovely lady?" Kaoru arm-wrapped me on one side, Hikaru on the other. "This is Kai." Hikaru said. "She's new in our class." Kaoru smiled. An evil-looking raven haired boy looked down at a little black book, "Kai Tsubaki. Fifteen. She's a commoner, like Haruhi." A short brown haired boy, actually, I think it was a girl, glared, and the girls gasped in horror. Puh-leez. A little blonde who looked like he should still be in elementary school ran up to me, "Hello Kai-Chan!" I smiled down at him, "Hi there." A tall black haired boy, man I should say, stood behind the little blonde. I whispered sideways at Kaoru, "So… Who exactly are these people?" Kaoru smiled at me, "That," He points to the tall blonde, "Is the Boss." The blonde dances around, "I am Tamaki Souh. Call me King!" I failed to look impressed, "No thanks." The brown haired boy/girl approached. He was in my class. The twins cheered, "Haruhi!" Haruhi waved slightly at me and watched the rest. "I am Kyoya Ootori." Tall-evil-raven-hair told me, "That is Hunny-senpai," He points to the tiny blonde, "And that is Mori-senpai." Tall black haired man. I smiled, "Hi." All the girls were watching this happen. When the boys were done, they cheered. Gawd. "Why don't you play some music for us?" Hikaru asked. "Yeah. It'll be cool!" Kaoru finished. I shook my head, "No way." The twins grinned, "Okay… How about we play a game? If you win, you don't have to play. If you lose, you do!" I raised my eyebrow, "What game?" "The Which One is Hikaru Game!" The room cheered and the twins put on caps. They switched places a few times, "Okay, so which one is Hikaru?" I pointed to Kaoru, "You're Kaoru," I pointed to Hikaru, "And you're Hikaru." They stared at each other. "Well? Did she get it right?" Asked a girl. The twins stayed silent but gave little nods. I smiled really huge, then picked up a guitar and started playing. Kaoru pulled his cap off and looked at me, "Why are you playing? You won." "Coz I want to!" I plugged in the electric cord and rocked out. When I finished, there was scattered applause. The Host Club was gaping. "She's really good, isn't she Takashi?" Hunny said. Mori nodded, "Yea." I pulled the guitar over my head and set it down next to the piano. All the girls were looking at me with perturbed expressions. Hadn't they ever heard rock music? Doubtful.
I stretched. Piano ruins my back. I'd just been playing for the Host Club for an hour and all the girls were leaving. Kaoru came up to me, "That was great!" I grinned, "Thank you kind sir." He looked at me questioningly, "What's with the etiquette?" I shrugged, "It's a Host Club, right? I'm being lady-like." I giggled. He smiled. "Thanks" Kaoru said. "You're welcome!" I smiled and went on tiptoe to kiss him on the cheek. Kaoru went red. I smiled and skipped away.
I flew into my classroom the next day with papers falling everywhere. My arms were crammed with my messy folders and books. I finally dumped it all on my desk. Late again. The twins eyed my haul, "What's with that?" I rolled my eyes, "I'm a messy person. My room looks like a tornado hit," I paused, "But that would be offensive to tornados." Hikaru chuckled and Kaoru laughed, "Too true." After they'd stopped laughing, they leaned close to me, "Wanna play a trick on the Boss today?" I grinned, "Of course." I gave Kaoru a high-five. As soon as the cursed maths class was done, Hikaru, Kaoru and I dashed down the hall to Music Room 3. I went to the kitchenette and pulled out a bottle of honey. Hikaru snagged some feathers from the art room and Kaoru found a bucket in the janitor's closet. I poured the whole bottle into the bucket and strung it up with fishing wire from the ceiling. Hikaru and Kaoru stuffed a fan with feathers and put it in front of the door. We took our positions—Me, holding the fishing wire that lead to the bucket, hiding behind a couch. Kaoru, crouching next to the fan, finger on the switch. And Hikaru, standing near the door, ready to say 'Go'. Tamaki walked through the doors. "Go!" Hikaru yelled. I pulled the cord, honey slopped down over Tamaki, Kaoru flicked the switch and feathers blew everywhere, including all over the honey-covered Tamaki. He screamed. We all cracked up. I was rolling on the floor, bright red. Kaoru and Hikaru had identical faces of amusement. Tamaki growled. I slowly pulled myself up, weak from laughter. The twins leaned on each other, trying to stay upright. I leaned on a couch. Tamaki looked furious… And hilarious. He was covered in glop with feathers sticking out. Kaoru was giggling cutely. Why am I thinking that?! Meep! Kyoya strode into the room. He saw the mess on the floor, "What…? Do I even want to know?" "Mummy! The shady twins got me dirty!" Tamaki cried and tried to hug Kyoya, who quickly stepped aside as to avoid getting glopped. Tamaki face-planted on the marble floor. I smirked. Kaoru covered his mouth in an attempt to block his hysterics, it failed miserably, you could hear a bit of a 'huff huff' noise. Tamaki went to his emo corner. I was still giggling a bit. I slowly calmed down, breathing deeply. "Okay, I'm good." Then I saw Hikaru's face and started hyperventilating again. Kaoru rubbed my back, "C'mon… Calm down." Then he snorted, and started laughing again. Then Kyoya gave us a death stare and we all automatically shut up. "Sorry Kyoya-senpai." I muttered. "I should think so! Now you three need to clean this up, now!" Kyoya hissed. My eyes widened and I looked at Kaoru, he looked kinda scared. I picked up the bucket and went to wash it. I s'pose pranks do have consequences… But they're still fun!
