A/N: First off, I would just really, REALLY like to apologize for the ridiculously long wait for this rewrite. I wont make excuses. All I can say is that for a while I just lost my inspiration. And it probably didn't help that I forgot my email for this account...

Anyways, for any new readers out there, this is a rewrite of Wonderwall. The first few chapters will pretty much be similar to the older ones, just re-edited and spiffed up a tad. I'll be switching things up by the middle chapters though. I found some old notes and ideas that I had written out for this story in an old note book that I had thought I had lost. I am so happy that I found it, you have no idea. It has helped a lot in bringing back some inspiration and motivation for rewriting this story.

Disclaimer: All I own are my Original Characters. I do not own or claim to own Ouran High School Host Club. Yup, so there you go.

Anyways, Enjoy.

Chapter One

"This is a joke, right? Please tell me this is a joke..." Saeko muttered darkly to herself as she stared down at the ugly, pitiful excuse of a dress that Ouran Academy apparently expected their female students to wear. "Seriously, they don't expect me to actually wear this, this, this-THING do they?"

She turned to face her cousin who was nonchalantly adjusting the tie to her suit from across the room. She frowned. "And what gives? How come you don't have wear this horrendous get up? What's with the boy's uniform, Haruhi? Last I checked, you were a female too!" Her blue eyes narrowed, and she gave a small huff. Haruhi could have at least given her the heads up that wearing the female's uniform was optional. Would have saved Saeko a lot of trouble. And money.

Haruhi in turn just rolled her eyes at her over dramatic and fuming cousin. "Oh, stop being such a drama queen Saeko. The dress isn't that bad."

"Says the one who doesn't have to wear it."

Again, Haruhi just rolled her eyes, emitting a small sigh. She expected this sort of behavior from the twins. Or Tamaki even. But not from Saeko. It was too early for this. "Just put the dress on Saeko; We're going to be late if you keep this up."

Still fuming, Saeko snatched the off putting dress up from the small twin bed and grudgingly yanked it on over her head. "You still haven't answered my question yet, Haruhi."

"Oh yeah," Haruhi murmured, her fingers pausing to rest above her tie. "I guess I probably should explain this all to you before we get to the Academy..."

"Gee," Sae gave her cousin a dead panned look. "That would be nice."

Haruhi returned the look. Yes, she decided. It was much too early for this. Sighing, Haruhi grudgingly gave in and began with her explanation. "It was my first day at Ouran and I was really just trying to find some place that was quiet and not filled with rich snobs. Somewhere that I could actually study and finish up on some homework in peace-"

"Haru-chan," Saeko cut her off with a small smirk before stating bluntly, "You really are such a book worm." And thusly earning herself a glare from her younger cousin. "Well you are." Haruhi's glare just darkened. And Haruhi called her over dramatic. Puh-lease. Sae just rolled her eyes before motioning for her to continue on with her story.

"Anyways," Haruhi finally continued, "Four noisy libraries later I finally found what I thought to be an old abandoned music room...but," she sighed, shaking her head. "It unfortunately was anything but abandoned...Geez, come to think of it," she held her chin in mock thought. "It's not really much of a music room either; I mean..there's a piano in the back somewhere but-"

A cough from Saeko brought Haruhi out from her thoughts and made her laugh a bit before continuing on with her story...yet again. "Heh, sorry Sae-chan, as I was saying, when I went inside I was greeted by the...Host Club...anyways, long story short, in my attempt to leave the room I ended up falling into pedestal that had a really valuable and expensive vase on it, and well..it fell and broke."

"I don't see how this adds up to you having to wear the boy's uniform, Haruhi."

"I'm getting to that." Haruhi gave Saeko a deadpanned look, before letting out a sigh. "I'm obviously not rich, I got into the Academy through a scholarship, just like you except that I actually got in on time." She explained, running a hand through her short brown locks. "Anyways, I er...joined their club and became a Host. To pay off my debt for the broken vase." Saeko opened her mouth to speak but Haruhi silenced her before she could get her question out. "The Host Club is a male thing only."

"Wait..They don't know you're a girl?"

Haruhi sighed, shaking her head. "Well, I suspect that Kyouya-senpai; The Host Club's Vice President, I suspect that he knew from the very start...He does his research. Speaking of which, don't be too surprised if he knows more about you then he should. He's..really good at that."

"Okay..." It was Sae's turn to frown. "That's not creepy in the least bit." She muttered out sarcastically, "But seriously, the other members of this club couldn't figure out that you were a girl? I know that you're not the most...well endowed in the chest region but come on, surely they cannot be that stupid...Can they?"

"Mostly it's just Tamaki-senpai." Haruhi stated right off the bat. Her cousin did not know how spot on she really was. Sad thing was, it wasn't just the Host Club that was blind to her true gender. The entire school was practically unaware of it. And that was just really, really sad. Though, from a positive stand point, this little fact did help Haruhi in the case of paying off her debt. But...that was about it.

Shrugging to herself, Haruhi attempted at giving the other club members the benefit of the doubt. "In their defense, I was wearing an outfit more suited to a male. Obviously, I couldn't afford one of the Academy's uniforms, so I ended up just wearing one of Dad's old sweaters and a pair of loose slacks. And it probably didn't help that my hair was still really messy from the bubblegum incident..." Her fingers absent mindly twitched to toy with a strand of her now short, brown locks. "I guess..I guess I just came off as a dude to them, or something."

She shrugged again. "As I was changing into one of the uniforms that they had given to me, Tamaki-senpai kind of...walked in on me." A tiny blush spread across her cheeks as she frowned. "It was certainly not one of my better days." She turned and gave Saeko a tiny smile, "But I'm sure that your first day will go by much smoother than mine did, at least you have a uniform...never mind the fact that it's hideous."

Saeko had to agree with her there. The dress was by far the most horrendous article of clothing that she had ever laid her eyes upon.

Sighing, Saeko reluctantly began adjusting the burgundy ribbon that tied at the uniform's neckline. She spared a quick glance at her cousin. "What's the Academy like anyways, Haruhi?"

Haruhi just shrugged in response. "It's big...and kinda easy to get lost in. It's really pretty though. And the classes aren't too bad; Speaking of classes," She blinked, turning around to face Saeko. "Do you have your schedule?"

"Hmm? Eh..it's somewhere." Saeko reached over to her bed and dug through her backpack until she pulled out a small, crumpled up piece of paper from the bottom of the bag. She looked up from her crumpled schedule to her cousin's face before grinning sheepishly, "Heh, I found it..." She quickly smoothed it out to the best of her abilities before walking over and handing it over to Haruhi. "Here you go...it's still...legible, no worries."

Haruhi just rolled her eyes before snatching the flimsy piece of paper out from Saeko's hands. "Let's see...class 1-A...then Home EC and Art" She nodded to herself, "Well that's good, at least you're with me for the better part of the day. You'll have Home EC and Art by yourself though, I have a study period and then Debate class."

She gave her cousin a brief glance before going back to looking the schedule over. "I can walk you to your Home EC class and I can see if maybe Hikaru and Kaoru can make sure that you get to your Art. class...I'm almost positive that those two have that class as well...it's one of the two...Oh well," She looked up and gave her a small smile. "I guess we'll find out when we get to class. Speaking of which," Haruhi glanced over to the small alarm clock that rested on the night stand beside her own bed. 7:03 AM. "We should probably get going, we still need to check on getting you your books."

Grumbling under her breath, Saeko managed a small nod. Starting at a new school was hard as it was. Starting out a few months late into said new school was even worse. Well, at least Saeko had Haruhi there to help her out. And for that she was thankful.
