Chapter 1: Newbies
"Huh? Is someone at the door?" I wonder aloud. I'm about to walk over to get it when Tamaki jumps in the way. "No, don't worry, dearest I'll get it!" He says, sprinting to the door. I frown. "It's just a door..." I mutter. He opens the door and greats who ever it is with the usual flattery.
"Welcome to the Ouran high school host club! We're honored to have a lady as beautiful as yourself make your way here to... HEY WAIT, YOU'RE NOT A GIRL!" He shouts once he opens his eyes, jumping back about three feet and revealing the figure standing in the doorway.
What I see is a figure, who is definitely female, wearing the boy's uniform. She has short white hair and bangs that almost fall over her eyes, but not quite, and bright red eyes. She's wearing pink dangly music note earrings and her cheeks are naturally flushed. She pushes Tamaki out of the way via his face and walks into the room.
"Of course I'm a girl, dumbass!" She says. Hikaru strokes his chin. "Then why aren't you wearing the girl's uniform?" He says. "Hey, she might be a cross-dresser like Haruhi..." Kauru adds quietly so she can't hear. I clench my fists at my sides.
"Hey! I'm not a cross-dresser! You guys are just making me wear this dumb thing so no one knows I'm a- I mean, uh..." I say, stopping myself before I accidentally blurt out the fact that I'm actually a girl.
"Ha! Like I'd put on that poofy-ass dress! My mom tried to force me into one of 'em, but I beat her out!" The girl replies with a big smile completely ignoring the twins and I.
"YOU BEAT UP YOUR MOTHER?!" Tamaki exclaims, his hand on his ch. The girl laughs. "No way! It means she eventually gave up, silly! Wait a sec, I'm getting off topic!" She says, shaking her head and widening her eyes. She looks up, a bit more serious now.
"My name is Tayuki Kataaniko, and I'm here to check out this host club, what ever that means!" She says, holding up a peace sign. Geez, it's really hard to take this girl seriously. Kauru and Hikaru go right to work.
"Well, come on in..." Kauru says, his hand on her jaw. Hikaru puts his face up close to hers.
"Take a seat, you must be tired," He says in a dreamy voice. Instead of the usual response, a blush, a dreamy sigh, and then a squeal, she punches both of them dead in the face. I snicker.
"EWW, WHAT THE HELL DO YOU THINK YOU'RE DOING, YOU PERVS?!" She exclaims as Hikaru and Kauru lay on the floor, shock written across their faces and hands at their cheeks.
"This is the host club, what were you expecting?" I say to her. She looks at me, eyes wide.
"For two idiots NOT to hit on me!" She says, sneaking an annoyed glance at the twins.
"That's kind of the whole point..." I mutter. She flips her hair and sashays the rest of the way into the room, plopping down on the couch next to me. The rest of the girls in the room eye her suspiciously. She doesn't seem to notice, though. I look at her.
"The host club is meant to entertain young women by flaunting, flirting with, and flattering them." Kyoya says. Tamaki, given up, walks over to an awaiting group of girls. He says something, and they squee with excitement.
"Oh... yeah my friends were talking about it and I was sooper bored so I decided to give it a try!" She says. She turns to me. "So is that all you do here?" She asks. I nod. "Yeah, pretty much." I tell her. She opens her mouth to say something, but then another chorus of squeals comes from the set of couches next to us, where Honey and Mori have probably done something to make them even more convinced that Honey is the cutest thing this planet has ever seen, which is partly true. I might think so too, if I hadn't seen him in action. That kid is a martial arts master.
"Ah. Can I just hang here, then? My mom's SOOPER pissed at me and I can't even walk in the house without her screaming and throwing stuff. She already broke one of my guitars." She says, leaning back and resting her head in her hands.
"Uh, I don't think you can-"
"So what's your name?" She interrupts me. I sigh. I might as well let her stay, she seems like she'd be stubborn and the type to get all angry when she doesn't get her way.
"I'm Haruhi..." I say, picking up my teacup and taking a sip. She looks to me, her eyes suddenly wide with interest and her legs in crossed on the couch.
"Are you gay? Cause I can't be an official musician-slash-broadway actress-slash SOOPER star without having a best gay friend!" She exclaims. I find myself get all defensive.
"Wh-wh-whaa? No, I'm not gay! Haha, where did you get that idea from?" I say nervously. But wait, I'm not actually gay... I'm just a girl. But she doesn't have to know that.
"Aww... but you seem so... feminine!" She says. I feel my right eye twitch.
"Uh... yeah... I get that a lot..." I say, scratching the back of my head nervously. Crud, if she finds out I'm a girl, she might tell everyone else! I think.
"Eh, whatevs. You can still be my bestie!" She says cheerily. I drop my hand slightly. "Yeah... besties..." I say half-heartedly. She turns to me.
"Oh, and by the way, you can just call me Albie!" She says, her eyes wide. I tilt my head in confusion. "Albie...?" I ask. She smiles and lifts a small chunk of her white hair and points to her red eyes. "Short for Albino! That's what everyone called me at my old school! Cuz, ya know, I have white hair and red eyes!" She says, twirling her hair around her pinkie. I nod.
"Okay, I will. Albie, huh?" I say. She nods. "Yup! That's mee! So... as I was walking in here I saw that this is a music room?" She says. I nod again. "Yeah, but nobody uses it so the host club made it their own." I tell her. She looks around. "Are there any instruments? Where? I NEED some musical RELIEF right now!" She says, her hair swishing whenever she turns her head.
"I think there's a piano is the back, but-"
"WHEEEE! THANKYOUTHANKYOUTHANKYOOOUU!" She shouts, sprinting to the yellow curtain in the back. She yanks it away and stares. She slowly turns her head to me.
"Is this... a FGB-137A by THE STEINWAY AND SONS?!" She exclaims, her eyes widening and almost shining. I shrug. "How should I know?" I say. She sits down on the piano bench and runs her fingers across the keys softly. She rubs her thumb on the golden engraving on the piano.
"OMIGLOB, IT TOTES IS!" She squeals, her hands waving excitedly. I stand up and walk over to the piano, bringing a chair with me. I sit down.
"Are you gonna play something?" I ask her. She looks to me, her mouth hanging open slightly. "Can I?" She says. I nod. "Yeah, go ahead." I tell her. She smiles at me and turns back to the piano. She positions her hands above the keys and takes a deep breath, her eyes closed.
The room falls silent as she plays, of course besides her playing. The various squealing and chattering has died down and every head in the room has turned to Albie. Her eyes stay closed the whole time. She's like a whole new person. The song starts out slow, but then it gets a bit faster. It's beautiful. Her hands dance across the keys effortlessly, she makes it look easy. The song sounds familiar, like I've heard it somewhere? Ugh, I can't put my finger on it...
Gradually, more and more girls gather around to watch her. But she doesn't seem to notice, or care for that matter. It's like she's in her own world. I can't tear my eyes away. It's amazing. She smiles slightly.
Everyone applauds when she finishes. She looks around, sees everyone clapping for her, and blushes. "Goodness! Oh, umm, when did you get here? I didn't know everyone was watching me, I'm sooo sorry, I thought I could use the piano and I just, umm... eep!" She says, closing the piano, standing up, and rushing out of the room. I watch after her. Wow, she was amazing.
"Who was that, Haru-chan?" Honey asks, walking up to me and watching as the door slams behind her.
"I really don't know..." I tell him.
