CHAPTER 1: Lobeliaaa!

Seiteki Ai strode through the gates of St. Lobelia Girl's Academy. Her eyes scanned the beautiful, enormous campus. Lobelia flowers scattered in the wind and brushed by her. She smoothed her high-waisted uniform maroon skirt down, straightened the pale yellow bow on her school-issued cropped shirt, and pulled all of her long, chocolate brown hair over her left shoulder. It was pulled into a small bow at the bottom and fell past her mid-thigh. Seiteki had a distant, sort of pretty look in her eyes, but she really was excited to start her first year in high school. At Lobelia's, no less!

Seiteki swiveled around to find just the girl she was looking for.

Kijo Ren'ai sauntered through the gates of Lobelia's with a faint smile on her face. Kijo caught Seiteki's gaze and smiled broadly. Seiteki smiled back at her best friend, with a real smile, not one of her distant smiles.

"Hey loser how was your spring vacation?" Kijo asked rudely. Seiteki shrugged it off.

That's just who she is, Seiteki thought.

"Fine," Seiteki replied simply. "I prayed a lot."

"Oh yeah? About what? How you wish you were as gorgeous and breath-taking as me?"

"No…I prayed and prayed that something…something phenomenal would happen to us this year."

"Hm. What a coincidence."

"Why? What is it?" Seiteki asked quickly. Kijo raised an eyebrow.

"Well…I kind of had a phenomenal idea for a club."

Ikasu always did hate first days of school. They were very awkward and much too noisy. Ikasu walked around the West building's East wing in St. Lobelia Girl's Academy. She knew the Zuka Club met somewhere around here…And Ikasu needed to speak with Suzuran. And Hinagiku. And especially Benibara.

If no one else will befriend me…I guess this is my last chance! Ikasu thought with determination.

Ikasu paused and sighed.

Life is hard for a winner.

Ikasu strolled over to the window, gazing down at the fountain in the center of the Lobelia garden. It was magnificent.

A gentle hand was laid on her shoulder. Ikasu turned around swiftly.

There stood the three famous Zuka Club girls: Benio, Chizuru, and Hinako.

And it was Benibara, Benio-sama that had her hand on Ikasu's shoulder.

"Gentle maiden, you wander as if you are lost. Why?" Benibara inquired sweetly.

"I-I…L-Lady Benibara, I-" Ikasu stuttered. Benibara lifted Ikasu's chin so she was staring into her eyes.

"What brings you to us, beloved?" Benibara smiled.

"I-I wanted to know…if we could be friends?" Ikasu asked timidly.

"How straight forward of you." Benibara grinned. "It's Ikasu, right?" Ikasu nodded with fervor and Benibara chuckled.

"You said it was Ikasu? You're in my class!" Suzuran spoke for the first time. "Doesn't everyone like, hate you?"

"Suzuran! Be nice." Benibara scolded.

"Well…actually, that's why I wanted to be your friend!" Ikasu explained.

"How sweet!" Hinagiku piped in. "Well, I'm fine with it as long as-"

"GREAT! Well then, there are some things that will need changing and/or fixing! For one, we can't be seen with the silly first year. She won't be able to keep up and that would end our reputation for being the best. Which is unforgivable. Also, we need to get over the entire male-superiority thing and go out with those yummy-looking Ouran boys! Oh, and I need to be the leader of the Zuka Club! Maybe Lady of the Carnation? Or Lady of the Posies? Eh. It can be worked out," Ikasu resolved quickly. An image of her new, perfect social life was already beginning to form in her over-imaginative head.

Silence.

Suzuran was the first to begin laughing. Then Hinagiku, and finally Benibara. All of the Zuka Club was laughing. In her face. Ikasu seethed and fumed. The girls in Zuka Club continued to mock her.

"You're a nobody! And you think you can just swoop in and decide I'm not good enough to be a part of this group? No one even likes you." Hinagiku spat. Ikasu almost tore out her throat out. Instead, she just growled.

"I mean honestly, you are pathetic. We're the best. No more, no less. No one can or will ever top the Zuka Club!" Suzuran declared. "Sorry Little Miss Wannabe Never Gonna Be Perfect, but you just don't have what it takes." They all laughed again. Ikasu clenched her fists together, her knuckles becoming extremely white.

"Let's go ladies. This trash isn't worth our time." Benibara finished. Ikasu gritted her teeth in her mouth and tensed all her muscles. The Zuka Club began their dramatic exit.

"Bitches," Ikasu whispered furiously. Then, "I'll make a club 100 times more popular than yours! Then we'll see who's the best, and who is really trash!" she yelled. And with that, Ikasu ran to the opposite exit as the Zuka Club and out into the courtyard. She took a deep, soothing breath and made her way to the main building.

"That idea sounds great," Seiteki began.

"I know! I'm so fabulous!" Kijo beamed. Seiteki rolled her eyes.

"But." Seiteki said. Kijo spun to face her friend. No one else was on campus-it had always been a tradition for Kijo and Seiteki to show up to school two hours early on the first day so they could get a feel for everything before the masses arrived.

That, and of course, and to be able to talk about things in private. Kijo didn't want anyone stealing her idea for their new club!

"But what? The plan is brilliant! I got the idea form an old friend of mine!" Kijo added in. Seiteki shook her head.

"You really are an idiot. Kijo, first years can't start clubs!" Seiteki informed Kijo. Kijo looked confused for a moment, realized that she and Seiteki were first years, and then twisted her face up with anger.

"Damnit! How are we going to make the club?" Kijo yelled.

"Well, we could wait another year," Seiteki suggested.

"Never!" Kijo protested. "It has to be created immediately. Anything else is below my standards."

"Why are you fixated on this?" Seiteki questioned.

"I just…I just have someone I need to be proud of me," Kijo answered a bit quietly.

"Hey, I thought I was supposed to be the mysterious one! Don't go stealing my character!" Seiteki giggled. Kijo whipped her head to face her.

"You…giggled." Kijo noted. Seiteki nodded. "But…you never giggle. You used to say that it's a sound that indecent women make to try to trick men into fooling around with them." Kijo reminded Seiteki.

" Yeah, but…you're my best friend. And I thought it might lighten the mood a little bit! It means no harm. Plus, I got my wish-I made you smile again!" Seiteki told her. Kijo hadn't realized she was smiling, but when Seiteki pointed it out to her, she only wider. Then, a thought dawned on her.

"Well, enjoy the smile while it lasts, 'cause it won't be there for much longer. We still can't make out club and then…we'll probably be nobodies!"

"You're over-exaggerating Kijo-" Seiteki began.

"Look at us! How could girls like us be nobodies?" Kijo shouted.

"Umm, excuse me?" a black girl with deep red hair asked as she approached. The girl looked to be older than her and Seiteki, even though she looked to be about Seiteki's height, maybe a bit taller. Though, this girl was much curvier than Kijo and Seiteki combined-a perfect hourglass figure. Not just that, her face was more mature. She wore the standard Lobelia uniform and her deep red hair in pigtails. Her small, black Mary-Janes were polished to perfection.

"Yes, you are excused." Kijo smiled with a demeaning look. The girl looked taken aback but did not leave.

"Excuse my friend-she can be touchy. Your name is?" Seiteki asked. She wasn't really being friendly, just civil.

"I am Gokoro, Ikasu," the redhead said. Kijo lifted a brow.

"You mean of KOIGOKORO ELECTRONICS?" Kijo asked. Ikasu nodded. "Hm."

"Anyways, I couldn't help but hear all about your woes of not being able to create your club, and how you felt that you might be doomed to be a nobody," Ikasu regurgitated.

"Yeah. And?" Kijo shrugged nonchalantly.

"I think…I want to help you two." Ikasu explained. Kijo's eyes bulged.

"Serious? What year are you?"

"I'm a second year with way too much ambition."

"What's in it for you?" Seiteki questioned. Ikasu turned towards Seiteki and grinned broadly.

"I'm out to prove the three stuck up Zuka Club girls wrong."

"Zuka…Club?" Kijo cocked her head. Seiteki shook her head.

"You never read the handbook, did you? The Zuka Club is an ultra-feminist, equality group here on campus. They are extremely popular because of their promotion of female superiority. The official title of the club is the White Lily League." Seiteki explained.

"Why are you after them?" Kijo asked. Ikasu's entire demeanor and attitude became dark and vengeful.

"They…aren't the best. They think they are, and though they are in an unmatched, perfect position, they aren't the best. I can be better than them because I work my ass off. I'm the best!"

This girl is nuts! Kijo thought. But she's determined. I like that.

"Okay, you quack, we'll let you start our club and be in it with us." Kijo announced. Seiteki nodded in agreement.

"So…what are you guys' names, anyway?" Ikasu asked.

"Oh, I'm Ai, Seiteki." Seiteki said as she smoothed her hair and skirt down.

"And I'm Ren'ai, Kijo. But that's Miss Kijo to you."

"Ha ha yeah no." Ikasu smirked.

"Fine. But just remember who's the classy, superior one!" Kijo smiled. Ikasu looked lost.

"She means her." Seiteki explained dryly.

"WELL WHY'D YOU SAY IT LIKE THAT?" Kijo screeched.

"Stop being obnoxious, Kijo." Seiteki told her friend playfully. Kijo pouted for a moment, then shut up soon after.

"So, what's your club idea?" Ikasu urged. Kijo smiled broadly and chuckled softly while Seiteki smiled and began to pray quietly, only loud enough for Kijo to hear.

"Hehe…" Ikasu half-smiled awkwardly. "I take it that you have a brilliant idea?"

"Beyond brilliant! We're starting a hostess club!" Kijo announced, lowering her voice on the last two words. Ikasu stared, shell-shocked. Kijo smirked.

I owe him one! Kijo mentally reminded herself.

"We're doing what?" Ikasu shouted.

Just then, the bell for morning classes rang loud. The three girls had not been paying attention to the time nor the increasing arrival of students on campus.

"Me and Seiteki gotta run, but talk to you at lunch?" Kijo insisted. "Actually, scratch that. It's not a question! You will do what I say and come to Class 1-B at lunch!"

"Yeah, yeah sure! I gotta run too, but lunch sounds great!" Ikasu called back as she began to leave. Kijo rolled her eyes, but turned and dragged Seiteki away with her.

And as the two best friends ran into the main building, Seiteki called out to Ikasu just loud enough for Kijo to hear:

"God bless us all."
