The day was bright and sunny, birds chirping, butterflies flying around; landing on beautiful flowers that were situated around the school grounds. 'This place doesn't even look like a school, it looks like a castle' I thought in awe. In my eyes everything looked as if it were radiant and sparkling.
-"Close your mouth or flies will get it in it." My instructor warned, I flinched and quickly re-poised myself. I had to look lady like in this school. It was filled with rich, poised young ladies and young gentlemen. I wondered how could a foreigner, with no manners could fit in this academy at all.
-"So what do you think of our school?" The principle asked, he was a blonde, middle aged man with a perfect smile. (Dialogs in black means that the character is speaking in Japanese)
-"Oh! It's a wonderful school sir." I reassured with a smile.
-"Good, good! Wait until you see the inside." He responded with a wink. I could feel my stomach bubbling up as we walked inside the school. This place was more like a masterpiece, every wall; every painting was simply breath taking. We explored a bit until we reached the principal's office. My instructor and the principal started discussing about the preparations for me stay at the academy's dorms when they were ready. Until then I would be rotated by the trusted families of the Ouran Academy. I excused myself and went out to explore the academy on my own. The place was huge and it was only the high school building, no school in Mexico could ever compare to this one. As I walked along the hallways I could feel the piercing stares of the students. 'Of course they would stare, I've got ugly, thick, curly and dark brown hair. Not a nice sight to behold. Plus I have big, hazel eyes and they all have beautiful graceful blue and green eyes.' I thought to myself as I looked down at the ground in shame. Of course everything in this place is gorgeous! I kept ranting on to myself without noticing the path in front of me, suddenly my face bumped into a hard, broad shoulder.
-"I-I'm really sorry!" I said as I stood back up to see a tall, mean looking red head guy. He extended his hand, but it made me flinch because I thought he was going to hit me. His expression saddened and backed his hand away. I then noticed that his true nature wasn't really of a mean guy. I softened up and smiled back at him.
-"HI! My name is Rosalie Tenorio … I mean! Tenorio Rosalia" I had forgotten that in Japan you say your last name first. He looked at me bewildered for a moment and then smiled.
-"Name's Kasanoda Ritsu or Ritsu Kasanoda if that makes it easier for you." He extended his hand again and we shook hands.
-"Are you the new transfer student that everybody has been talking about? You know the one that came all the way from Mexico…" Ritsu inquired as he observed me. I nodded my head in response.
-"You think you could show me around? Es que (its cause) I really don't know this place and you might know some cool places." I pleaded, then I gasped as I realized some Spanish had slipped out. Ritsu didn't know how to react and blushed a little. He nodded and signaled me to follow him. As we toured the place Ritsu would only say what a room or club was and a random fact about it. It seemed as if he wasn't comfortable around me, like he had never really talked to a girl before. And as we passed a music room I suddenly heard giggles and chuckling from it.
-"What's in there?" I asked as I tried to peek through the door, but before I knew it the door opened and I fell inward.
-"Welcome to Ouran High school Host Club!" I heard the moment the door opened but I was too busy trying to get up without looking stupid, which was hopeless right now since there was a dead silence in the room.
-"Tenorio-san you ok?" Ritsu ran by my side to see if I had injured by face since that was the first thing that had landed on the granite floor. I smiled and took his hand that he extended for me. I looked at his face and noticed he was looking away and blushing; I felt self-conscious too, so I let go quickly of his hand and said thanks.
-"Who might this new exotic beauty be?" A blonde guy that looked like the principal asked as he grabbed my wrist and twirled me around. I thought that he was calling me ugly so I shook him off and glared at the blonde guy. Suddenly he looked depressed and ran up to a guy with black hair and glasses, he was carrying a notepad. Blondie started pointing at me and whining, and surprisingly when black haired guy looked up at me, he jumped and started ranting through his papers in the notepad.
-"Haha you made Tama-chan go whine at Kyo-chan!" This little blonde boy that was carrying a pink rabbit plushy came up to me. He looked as if he was in 3rd grade, and by his side was a huge guy with short dark black hair just standing there as if he was staring into my soul. I just smiled politely and turned around to quickly get out of this bizarre place full of squealing girls and boys with strange attitudes. But my mistake was to stop and look for Ritsu because as soon as I turn back around two orange haired twins were all up in my bubble, examining my face. I stumbled backwards and was caught by a brown haired… guy? He had big dark brown piercing eyes just like a girl would. But he had a little bit of guy features…
-"Don't let Hikaru and Kaoru scare you, I'm Fujioka Haruhi" His smile looked like a sincere one but he still looked like a girl to me.
-"H-Hi nice to meet you, my name is Tenorio Rosalie." I answered politely; bowing like Japanese people supposedly do, but Haruhi just chuckled at my formal greeting. Suddenly all the people I had just seen gathered up next to me as if I was a new type of species.
-"Guys let her breathe, come on, back up." Haruhi scolded at them doing a shooing motion. I was nervous and was smiling faintly not knowing how to respond to all this attention from strangers.
-"Who is she? She looks foreign you don't think –
-"She's the new foreign exchange student that came all the way from Mexico?" The twins finished each other's sentences.
-"In a matter of fact she is, so please compose yourselves." The black haired guy with glasses responded as he flipped through his notepad again. –"It says here that she is fifteen years old. Tenorio Rosalia is the number one student at her country; unfortunately her family is middle class and can't afford a prestigious school. So they sent her to Ouran Academy since they offered her a scholarship. Special skills are mostly in the arts like playing the piano, painting and drawing, singing and dancing. Some of her defects are that she suffers of ADHD but she can notice the smallest details when it comes to riddles or people or-
The guy kept blabbing about my life's story and it was starting to creep me out in sooo many levels. I was getting fed up with all the information, so my reflex suddenly was to take away his notepad. He looked at me and then said as he pushed his glasses up with a glare to it.
-"May have attack reflexes when threatened." He seemed quite annoyed. I immediately blushed and took the papers with the information about me and gave his notebook back quickly.
-"Guys seriously? You're not making a very good first impression on her." Haruhi sighed and looked towards me with a smile. –"Let me introduce everyone for you, the tall blonde guy that has the mood swings is Tamaki Suoh, he's in class 2-D, he's also the president of our club. The guy with the glasses that just gave you the chills is Kyoya Otori; he's also in class 2-D and the VP of this club. Now the small blonde one is Mitsukuni Haninozuka or "Honey" and his friend the tall one is Takashi Morinozuka or just "Mori", both of them are in class 3-C. And for the first years its Hikaru and Kaoru Hiitachin class 1-A, I'm that same class." My head was spinning with all the introductions and all the unusual Japanese names. Haruhi noticed that I looked puzzled and told me that I didn't have to memorize all the names at once, I smiled faintly but it didn't help much.
-"So what is this place?" I asked looking around. Tamaki suddenly had a burst of energy, wrapped his arm around my shoulders and pushed me forward so I could see the whole room better.
-"The Ouran Host club is where the handsomest boys with too much time on their hands entertain young ladies that also have too much time on their hands. Hmm… think of it as Ouran Academy's elegant playground for the super-rich and beautiful." Tamaki explained boastfully while doing overdramatic gestures to show how beautiful and wonderful the club was. I smiled and chuckled faintly as I brushed off his arm and looked at him straight in the eye.
-"So basically rich chicks just pay you so they can hear cheap and cheesy complements while having a cup of tea, with their choice player of the day." I summarized bluntly, not amused by the speech he just gave me. I regretted my words because everybody in the room gasped and started murmuring, I expected Tamaki to go slouch in a corner again but really the Host club hosts just laughed at my comment. Surprised I looked at Ritsu with a bewildered look; he shrugged his shoulders and started at them too.
-"If you want to look at the club that way my darling, then yes. It's a place where rich chi- pffft hahahahaha." Tamaki couldn't even finish his sentence because he boasted out laughing from repeating my comment. Personally I didn't know what so funny but apparently it was hilarious to them. The Hiitachin brothers came over to mestill laughing and each one patted one of my shoulders as if saying thank you. They also said something around the lines "We hope we get you in our class".
-"You really must come and experience yourself to be able to judge. But please do visit; your comments are quite amusing and entertaining… Too bad you're a girl; we would've loved to have you work in the club." Kyoya mocked with a smirk on his face, I stuck my tongue out towards him but all it did was make his chuckle. As I walked towards Ritsu to tell them that we should leave, my instructor came through the door.
-"It's time to leave Rosalia" She said and walked out the door. But I was stopped by a small hand tugging on my pants.
-"Will you come and visit us again?" Honey asked in a sweet way, his brown eyes widened and the whole chimed in to look at me with puppy eyes. I chuckled and gave them a big grin in return.
-"Of course! I would love to." I replied finally getting a feeling that I was welcome in this enormous school. The Host club looked at each other, gave each other high fives and said their farewells. As I walked out the door my instructor looked quite pleased.
-"Looks like you already got friends." She commented as we walked outside, I giggled and nodded my head.
-"It looks like my stay here will be quite a fun one." I responded as we got in the car. I looked out the window and saw what was going to be my new school as we drove away.
