Chapter 2
"Are you our new student," the male flipped rapidly through his book and scanned the page, "Ah, here you are! Kishiko Kimura, did I pronounce it correctly?"
"Yes sir." I stammered my response. Looking timidly around the class of 2-D, my frantic inner thoughts began to stir. Whoa! Each and every one of the people, in my class room, looked so elegant and classy. It seemed like they were all a portrait that needed to be in a museum in France. I don't compare to that. Kaito is the one with all the looks. I feel like I don't belong.
"You may have a seat next to your brother" said the male teacher pointing at the empty desk with his eraser tip. I sat next to the window and organized my supplies. As the teacher droned on about who knows what, I glanced to my left starring out the panel glass window. There was large fountain that reminded me of the Fontana De Amore in Rome, Italy. I wish I was there now. . .
"Kishiko, are you listening?" a stern voice echoed to my right.
I looked Kaito irritated as he snapped me out of my vineyard fantasy. As I opened my mouth, Mr. Fujiru called me up front. Nervously, I stood and bit my lip while I walked to the front. He handed me a small book titled: Romeo and Juliet.
"Mr. Fujiru, are you asking me to play Juliet?" I asked quietly.
"Why yes I am, Kishiko. I want you and Mr. Fujioka to act out a number of scenes for us. Is that a problem?" he asked while raising his left brow under his small framed glasses.
"N-No sir! Just a question out of curiosity, sir." I answered franticly.
He smiled in amusement and nodded his head. "Good to hear! Now you two act out Act 1 Scene 4. This is when Juliet and Romeo first meet."
I sighed heavily as I bit my bottom lip once again and stared at the floor. Why did I have to play Juliet? I bet it was Kaito's doings. The nerve of that jerk! I lifted my head to glance at the male who would play Romeo, but, when I looked up I saw nothing but a female in the boys' uniform. I tilted my head the shook it. I'll ask questions later.
We acted the whole scene up to the part where they are to kiss. The class watched our every move with anticipation. I glanced over my shoulder to Mr. Fujiru. He nodded and gestured his hand. I guess he was very pleased with our performance. I looked back at my Romeo and her face was a bright red as she inched toward my face, then to my lips. I inhaled sharply when her arms wrapped around my waist. Closer and closer our lips inched. Soon, out bottom lips were just gently meeting. Her bottom lip quivered in fear or excitement. I was soon to close my eyes and entangle myself with her when a sharp ringing noise startled me backwards.
"Oh, the end of the day already? And, we almost to the first kiss…" Mr. Fujiru whined.
Ms. Romeo was pushed backwards but caught by two males who looked like twins. Kaito was gathering our scatter belongings and helping me up. I dusted myself off and attempted to help him. Kaito was already finished when I got myself orderly. I picked up my bag and went towards Ms. Romeo.
"Nice acting Fujioka. We really had the class in the palm of our hands." I said nervously.
"Hehe, yeah, your absolutely right. And thank you, your acting is amazing. I just read with emphasis." She laughed.
"Thank you but it's just Romeo and Juliet." I smiled.
One of the twins tapped her upon her left shoulder. "Haruhi, we should get going soon."
"The boss might get upset if we're late" chimed the other one.
"Alright," she turned towards me, "Hey Kishiko would you like to join us this evening. Your brother can join you if he likes."
"I will gladly accept your invitation," I clasped Kaito's hand that had just walked beside me. "WE will gladly accept your invitation."
He rolled his eyes and sighed heavily. He shook his head in agreement. His expression was neutral as he walked down the hallway silently, next to the twins. I was enjoying a small conversation with Haruhi, slowing our speed slightly. When Kaito had the twins way out of earshot, I smirked slightly as I flipped my hair back.
"So Haruhi, what kind of females are you interested in?" I asked very nonchalant.
"Well I like… Eh?" she asked quite puzzled.
"What kind of females are you into? You are a male. I just asked if you liked the girly kind or the tomboyish kind." I bit my lip, praying my game of 101 questions would prevail.
"I have to say she has to have a great personality. She has to be smart, determined, funny, and kind hearted. With those four qualities, she will win her way into my heart." Haruhi said with a smile.
Damn… It didn't work. I smiled in returned but inside my heart scowled in disapproval. It was silent once more so, instinctively, I reached up to my neck to fiddle with my locket. She must have wondered what I was doing, because then, she interrupted my thought time.
"I love that on you. Where did you get it?" She asked with another boyish smile.
"My father gave it to me when I was little. I've never taken it off since." I replied.
"You must love him very much and miss seeing him every day."
"..Yeah, Kaito does as well. We haven't seen him since we were young."
"Oh.. I am very sorry.. I didn't mean.." She progressed.
"No it's fine. You didn't know. Accidents do happen." I returned with my "I am ok" smile.
She then did something I was not expecting at all. As we reached the elegant door of what seemed to be an abandoned music room, she knelt down in front of my, grasped my left hand, and laid the most tender kiss I have ever felt. My body heat rose in excitement. She lifted her head up and gave me an innocent smile. My mouth moved faster than my brain.
"I know you're a female and that you probably aren't interested in women!" I shouted.
Then realizing my mistake, I quickly cover my mouth with my left hand; praying that it would take back the word I spewed out. Haruhi blinked quite a few times before sighing lightly.
"H-How where you able to tell? Most people aren't able to with just one glance."
"Your face was too feminane and it's just a gift from being around my Daddy Night." I replied matter of factly.
Haruhi gazed at me highly puzzled and lost. I patted her shoulder and gave a goofy smile to cheer her up.
"Don't worry your secreat is safe with me. I don't tend to blackmail. I'm new here and just want a friend."
Her face flushed brightly but nodded in agreement. I slipped my arm around hers and tugged her towards the huge double door before us. She moved like a small rag doll while we pushed our way through. My vision was blinded by roses drifting in the breeze; the smell of cake, tea, and men filled my nostrils.
"What is this place?" I asked dazed and looking around in the blinding light.
"This is Heaven, my princess. Welcome to Ouran Academy's Host Club!" a male's voice answered me.
