Yo!

I am back waaay earlier than expected. And that is because I have decided to just post a few more chapters.

Fun, right? :D

So, here's the second chapter. Have fun.


First Person

One week later…

"I didn't know your mom got remarried." Valerie said as we both slipped out of her red Ferrari upon arriving at the front gates of Ouran Academy.

I closed the car door shut then turned to her. "It happened recently. I heard Mom moved into his place after I left California."

"How long have they been together?" she asked, using her car keys to lock the doors of the parked car.

"About four years. He's even got kids."

"Really? Were you guys close?"

I shook my head and began to make my way towards the academy. "Not really. To be honest, I felt awkward whenever I was around them."

Valerie raised an eyebrow. "When don't you feel awkward around people?" she asked with a grin when she caught up to me.

I frowned at her. "Leave me alone."

Her grin widened. "You're really bad at small talk too."

"Thank you, Valerie." I deadpanned.

She laughed. "It's funny because you're so different with me."

I shrugged as I entered through the doorway of the prestigious building with Valerie following closely behind. "That's because we've known each other since we were in diapers."

"True," she nodded in understanding before pausing in her steps to check the time on her watch. "I think we got here a little too early, Rei."

"Well shit." I fit my hands in the pockets of my red hoodie and glanced down one of the empty corridors. "What are we supposed to do now?"

Valerie held her chin up thoughtfully. "I guess we can go to the library or something."

"Alright." I let out a yawn.

I then turned to follow her when she proceeded to lead me up a staircase. It wasn't long before I took notice of an extra pair of footsteps behind us as we climbed. Out of curiosity, I peeked over my shoulder to see a student carrying a stack of boxes up the same flight of stairs.

I stared at the exasperated looking boy for a second longer before pausing in place. "Need help?"

The boy then looked up at me in slight surprise. "Oh no, it's fine. I got it."

At that exact moment, his foot seemed to have missed a step and was instantly falling backwards.

Adrenaline kicked in and I immediately darted towards him and extended my arm to grab his own while using the other to hold onto the railing for support.

We both stared at each other in shock.

"You okay, dude?" I asked as I pulled him up before letting him steady himself.

"Yeah, thank you."

I blinked at the brown haired boy. Up close, he looked sort of feminine.

"Are you guys alright?" Valerie suddenly appeared beside me with worried green eyes.

"Yeah, we're good." I released him. "Be careful next time. You could've gotten seriously hurt."

I felt like I was talking to Valerie. I've been constantly told that I had developed a motherly habit towards her by many people.

The feminine boy replied with a sheepish laugh. "I'll keep that in mind. Thanks again for saving me."

"No problem." I waved him off before heading back downstairs to collect his now scattered boxes.

"Oh, you don't have to do that!"

"I know." I merely said as I gathered them. I looked at him when I finished. "You're pretty nice for a rich kid. I thought everyone here would be kinda stuck up to be honest."

"I'm actually a scholarship student." He scratched the back of his head with the same sheepish smile. "But not everyone here is like that. There are a lot of nice students around."

I lifted my eyebrows in surprise. "I'm a scholarship student too. It's my first day today."

"So then you must be the famous Fujioka Haruhi." Valerie chimed in after listening the whole time. "I've heard of you but never actually had the chance to meet you. I'm Valerie by the way."

"Rei." I lazily dipped my head at the boy, Haruhi.

"It's nice to meet the both of you."

"So where are you headed with all these boxes anyways?" I asked him.

The same exasperated look from earlier returned on his expression. "My club needed me to pick up a few things for later."

"You mean the Host Club?" Valerie questioned with interest.

Haruhi nodded. "Yeah. Have you ever visited us before?"

"I never really had the time to."

"Alright, let's go then." I told them while picking up the stack of boxes. I looked down at Haruhi since he was a bit shorter than me. "You're pretty clumsy so I'll help carry these there."

He stared up at me with brown eyes before smiling brightly. "I really can't thank you enough."


Rei and Valerie meet Haruhi, yay! :D

Anyways, on to uploading more chappies.

See ya soon.
