~Dia POV~
"How did I get talked into this" I sighed walked up the stairs
*Flashback*
"Dia you have to do this for me!" Michiru whined pulling on my school uniform
"Why do I have to?" I frowned
"Because if you don't... I'll never talk to you again"
"Oh no what ever will I do" I said overly dramatic
"Just do it, come on for me?"
"Fine I'll do it, if it will stop your whining"
"It will, ok so it's Music Room 3, you know where that is right? His name is Tamaki Suoh, don't forget ok" she told me pushing me outside the classroom
*End Flashback*
"I should have made her buy me lunch for the next week"
I found the Music room and knocked on the doors, no one answered, I tried the door handle only to find it was unlocked. Letting myself in I called out for anyone, the room was completely empty but there was a laptop humming away on a small table so someone had to be here.
"Can I help you?" A tall dark haired boy with glasses asked walking into view
"Uhhh is this host club room?"
"Were not open right now" he sighed sitting down in front of his laptop
"I wanted to request someone..."
"Oh a costumer are we" he smiled standing "please come on in"
"Talk about a change in personality"
I walked in letting the door fall closed behind me then walked over to him, he held out a chair for me then after closing his laptop pulled out a notebook and started to flip through the pages.
"And who is it you wanted to request?"
"It's not for me, it's for my friend" I pointed out only the look he was giving me told me he didn't believe me.
"Tamaki Suoh" I said with a frown
"Well let's see when he has an opening"
He flipped through the pages until he suddenly stopped and then grabbed a pen.
"Well you're in luck" he said flashing me a smile "one of our clients has pulled out so there is an opening for you tomorrow"
"I told you it's not for me!" I shouted slamming my hands on the table "I would NEVER come to a place like this EVER!"
I got up and stormed out of the room slamming the door behind me then muttered to myself the whole way back to my classroom.
"How dare he" I muttered "thinking I would ever go to a place like that"
I went into my classroom and sat back down in my chair picking up my book and continued to read until Michiru took the book out of my hands.
"So?"
"So what?" I grumbled
"Did you do it?"
"Why do you want to go to a place like that anyway, they are just stuck up rich boys who think their gods greatest creation"
"Dia you promised you would do it for me!"
"Well I tired" I protested
"Go try again, and this time do it right"
"Fine" I sighed "but I'll need your id"
"My id?" she questioned
Once again I found myself slowly walking back to the music room; I stood outside the doors wondering how I could possibly face him after yelling at him then storming out. I went to walk away when I saw the flash of Michiru; I couldn't let her down like that so with a sigh I pushed the door open once more.
The guy was still sitting at the table and was typing away until I entered the room, he looked up at me but this time his personality was back to when I first talked to him.
"Yes?" he asked rather bored
"I've come to request Tamaki Suoh" I muttered
"Sorry but I can't do that"
"What why not?"
He didn't answer me, he just adjusted his glasses then went back to his laptop, I walked up to the desk and dropped Michiru's ID right in front of him, he picked it up then looked at me.
"That is Michiru Sohma, she is the girl that would like to request Tamaki Suoh she couldn't make the request herself because she is helping some students so I offered to do it for her. Now I would like to request Tamaki Suoh on behalf of Michiru Sohma, I heard there was an opening for tomorrow?"
He handed the ID back to me then pulled out his notebook again, he started to write something down then closed the book and looked up at me.
"Is that all?"
"There is one more thing"
"And that is?"
"Your name, what is your name?"
"My name?"
"I like to know the name of people I dislike so I can avoid them easier" I smirked
"My name is Kyoya Ootori"
"Ootori? As in Yuuichi Ootori's younger brother?"
"Yes..." he said raising his eyebrow "how is it you know my brother"
"Oh I don't know him personally or anything, just heard about him before so umm anyway I should be going; don't forget Michiru will be here tomorrow to see Tamaki. Anyway bye now" I quickly ran out of the room not relaxing until I made it back to the classroom where Michiru was waiting for me.
"It's all done" I told her handing her back her ID "tomorrow"
"THAKYOU!" she squealed as she tried to chock me
"How can that be... I've never seen him before"
After school I headed straight home and called mum, I wanted to apologise for not being able to see her today.
"Is everything ok Dia?" she asked
"Everything is fine mum I just had a big day and we have a bunch of homework... I'll come visit you soon ok"
"Well ok, don't forget to eat properly and to brush your teeth before bed and..."
"Mum I'm not a little kid anymore, I can look after myself"
"I can't help it" she laughed
"Just... look after yourself ok mum? Don't do anything crazy"
"I couldn't even if I wanted to, the people here are constantly watching me" she whispered quietly with a giggle
"That's because I told them to" I frowned "well goodnight mum"
"Goodnight Dia, I love you"
"Love you to mum"
"Dammit... if he finds out... I have no choice, it's for mum, I can do this!"
I picked up the phone and dialled the Ootori household, the whole time the phone rang I prayed no one would answer or Kyoya wouldn't be home yet but someone did answer and Kyoya was home.
"Hold on a second miss and I'll go get him"
"Ok... thanks"
"Why did he have to be home" I groaned to myself
"Hello?"
"Uhhh hi Kyoya... umm its Dia... I just wanted to apologise for my behaviour today..."
"Is that so?" he asked sounding rather bored "if you don't mind I have more important things to do"
"I'm trying to apologise here the least you could do is listen" I snapped
"Very well, go on than"
"With an attitude like that it makes it hard to apologise"
"You are the one apologising so my attitude has nothing to do with it, now why are you apologising, I didn't think you were the kind and another thing how is it you have my number?"
"I'm apologising because I was rude to you" I said ignoring his last question
"Yes you were"
"You're not meant to agree with me!"
"What would you have me do then, lie?"
"You could at least say 'don't worry about it, it's fine, I forgive you' or something like that gesh, don't you know anything"
"What an interesting way to apologise to someone"
"Dammit, damn this guy! Why does he have to be so infuriating!"
"Well you could try and be a little nicer"
"I have no reason to be nice to you, now if that is all I have things to do"
"Why do you have to be so rude!" I shouted before hanging up
After slamming the phone down I stormed off, I made it half way to the kitchen before remembering what the whole point of calling him was. I grabbed hold of my head and screamed out before going back to the phone; I tried to compose myself slightly before picking it up and dialling Kyoya's house again.
"Hello this is the Ootori house, Kyoya speaking"
I quickly hanged up and stepped away from the phone "why did he have to answer!... wait WHY DID I HANG UP!"
I jumped around in circles for a few minutes before picking up the phone once more.
"Ok Dia, third time lucky, you can do this"
"Hell..."
"I'm very sorry for being so rude to you, I promise I'll try... no wait I mean I promise I won't ever be rude to you again. Sorry for disturbing you, goodnight" I said quickly before hanging up with a sigh
"That went rather well" I smiled as I walked to the kitchen
The next day at school went pretty fast, Michiru went to the host club at lunch then after that she wouldn't stop talking about it. I didn't mind, I just zoned it out then after school I decided to go see my mum after all if I haven't seen Kyoya there yet then the chances of me seeing him there now were pretty slim.
As if the world was against me just as I stepped out of the car Kyoya was only meters in front of me, I thought about getting back in the car and leaving but before I had the chance the car had already left and Kyoya had turned around and saw me. He adjusted his glasses and I walked towards him with the intent of going straight past him and ignoring him completely, he had other ideas though.
"What brings you here?" he asked walking besides me
"Like you don't already know" I huffed
"If I knew I would not have asked you"
"Well... then it's none of your business"
"Actually it is, this is my family's business"
I stopped walking and looked at the ground; Kyoya stopped a few steps in front of me.
"Why are you doing this" I whispered
"What was that?"
"HOW CAN YOU BE SO INSENSITIVE!" I shouted at him before running into the hospital
After I calmed down I went to mums room only to find Yuuichi Ootori leaving her room.
"Is she ok?" I asked a little worried
"Dia, everything is fine" he smiled
"... Is it ok if I go in?"
"Of course, she was a bit down that you couldn't see her yesterday"
"I'm sorry... yesterday was... well it was a long day" I laughed rubbing the back of my head
He was smiling kindly and patted my shoulder as he walked past me.
"How can they be related... he's so nice and Kyoya is... he's nothing more than a spoilt rich boy"
I entered mums room with a smile and stayed there until she was tired, even though I saw Kyoya here it was still a good visit the only problem was I knew I would have to apologise to him again after all I did promise not to be rude to him anymore.
"Will you come by tomorrow?" mum asked
"Yeah, I'll come by after school ok"
"Be safe"
"Night mum"
I left the room and walked down the hallway with a yawn, it was getting fairly late and I was ready to get home and just crawl into bed. I called for someone to pick me up but I would still have to wait 10 minutes or so until they got here so I sat outside on a bench to wait.
"I'm sorry"
I jumped in surprise, I thought I was alone but at some point Kyoya had come out and was now sitting down next to me.
"Sorry?" I asked
"It was none of my business..."
"Oh so it was none of your business but let me guess you still found out right? Well you know what..." I started to yell before stopping, I couldn't let my temper get the better of me. "Don't worry about it, its fine really"
"Why do you do that?"
"Do what?"
"Why is he talking to me? He said sorry now he can leave me alone"
"You were going to say something else but you stopped and last night..."
"Because... I don't want mum to suffer just because we don't get along"
"This company is not like that, besides" he said standing "I thought we got along just fine"
"Well in that case" I smirked "I don't forgive you for looking up my personal business, if you wanted to know all you had to do was ask me but I guess were even so why don't we just start over?"
"That's acceptable" he said walking away "and I never looked up why you were here, just so you know"
My cheeks started to heat up, I yelled at him for snooping around my life when he didn't do anything. The next day at school I was torn between apologising to him for yelling at him or just leaving it after all we decided to start over.
"Why don't you come with me?" Michiru asked
"Huh?"
"Weren't you listening to me at all?"
"Sorry.. I was thinking about something else"
She sighed and shook her head a little "I'm going to the host club today, why don't you come with me, there are some nice people there you know"
"Those flirts? No thankyou I would rather stay as FAR away from there as possible" I huffed
"They were planning a trip to the mountains, why don't you come with me? It would be fun"
"I don't want to go into their club room so why would I go to the mountains with them?"
"It's not going to be just them, other guys are going to, nearly the whole high school is going from what I heard" she said leaning in her chair
"Is that meant to make me want to go?" I asked raising my brow "why don't you just go and tell me about it when you get back, I'll spend my long weekend relaxing"
"Well.. The thing is..."
I knew that tone, I knew it all too well.
"Let me guess your parents won't let you go unless I go with you?"
"Yeah" she sighed defeated
"Why don't you take someone else?"
"You know I can't, they only trust you, something about you being like a protective brother"
"A protective brother? I take offence to that"
"Please go with me!"
"The things I do for you" I sighed
"So you'll come? GREAT, you'll have fun I promise, so it's this weekend and were all meeting at the school at 9am Saturday morning and we won't be back until Monday afternoon"
"Two nights... why do I get myself into these situations" I sighed walking into the hospital
I told mum about the trip, she seemed happy for me, overly happy but still I was hoping she would forbid it or something not tell me to go home and pack. I left the hospital earlier than usual today so I would have time to pack for tomorrow, I didn't see Kyoya at the hospital today and I couldn't decide if that was a good thing or not.
Once I got home I started to pack my things wondering how I got myself into these kinds of situations. "I'm a sucker for punishment" I decided closing my bag
