A/N: Kay, so this update should have been a lot sooner, but I suddenly lost motivation and decided to write a fic for FMA... I'm a pitiful excuse for an author. Though, this was still a relatively quick update, I don't know when I'll release chapter three cause I don't know how I want to start it. Either way, here is chapter 2! Thank you for continuing through to the next chapter :)
Disclaimer: I do not own OHSHC or any of the characters.
I was still trying to sort through all of the new information as I mindlessly followed the twins towards the oversized school.
I will be attending Ouran Academy, I am in class 1-A with the Hitachiin brothers, I am living in the dorms, specifically dorm R, the office is locat-
"Hey Haruhi, you'll be living in the dorm F, right?" One brother asked, the one who had introduced himself as Kaoru.
"Lucky!" Whined the other brother, Hikaru, "You get to live so close to the school." The brothers seemed envious of my assumed dorm. Though dorm F and M are supposed to be about the same distance from the school, so I didn't know what they were complaining about.
"Actually," I interrupted their little debate about waking up early, "I am going to be living in Dorm R."
"What?" Both boys were so surprised they stopped dead, causing me to stumble over Kaoru's foot.
"What was that for?" I asked, angered by their sudden stupor, "What's so wrong with dorm R?"
The boys shared a quick glance before they answered, a small smile gracing their features.
"Dorm R is a little..."
"Different." Hikaru finished for his brother.
The twins shared another look before returning their gaze to me, each of them donning a grin that could be described as nothing other than evil. Their mischievous grins sent chills down my spine, and I realized I might be stepping into a deeper pool than I imagined.
"My name is Fujioka Haruhi, it's a pleasure to meet everyone."
I was standing at the front of a classroom with approximately thirty pairs of eyes trained on me. To say I was self-conscious would be an understatement.
The day before I moved here some kid had stuck a piece of gum in my hair, so I decided to cut it out myself. My hair didn't even reach my shoulders now. I had also lost my contacts, so I was wearing glasses from a few years back. To be honest, I missed my contacts, I hate pushing my glasses up as they fall down my nose.
But my hair and glasses were probably the least of my worries. Ouran Academy didn't have a designated uniform, therefore everyone was wearing their casual clothes. Well, as casual as the rich dressed, meaning designer brands and expensive jewelry everywhere.
I, on the contrary, was dressed in a simple pair of track-pants and a sweater. Hey, comfort made for a better study environment.
Either way, I could feel the glares and snide comments coming from a mile away.
"Thank you miss Haruhi. Would you mind taking your seat at the back of the class?" The teacher asked with a large smile plastered on her face. It was so fake it almost hurt to look.
Regardless, I gathered my belongings and wandered to the back of the classroom. The designated seat was right between Hikaru and Kaoru, as if I didn't have enough on my plate.
"Well hello there Haruhi..." A sly grin slid across Hikarus features as he watched me sit down.
"Hope you enjoy the welcoming party." Kaorus expression was a mirror of his brothers.
"What par-" I didn't get to finish my question because streamers exploded all around my desk. I sat dumbfounded, staring at the strings littering the floor. I threw a questioning glance at the twins, but their attention was focused at the front of the room. Most of the girls in the class squealed in freight, however the reaction the twins were looking for came from the teacher.
Mrs. Juniper screamed in fear as she leaped backwards, connecting with the dirty chalkboard. A second squeal ensued as she leaped away from the offending object that had just coated her back in a white powder.
The class was completely quiet as the teacher sent a brief, yet harsh glare at the Hitachiin brothers before she excused herself to the washroom.
Seconds later the brothers shared a glance before doubling over in laughter.
"I think that was the best one yet!" Said Hikaru through labored breathing.
"Between that and the whoopee cushion!" Giggled Kaoru as he held on to his stomach.
I put my head down, pretending to be disappointed in their behavior, but I couldn't help it when a little smile broke through. Maybe they wouldn't be so bad after all.
"Haru-chan! Hurry up and sit down!" Said the boy who looked like he could be in elementary school.
I tried to remember his name from the introductions given earlier, and while fifteen minutes was enough to memorize their faces, it wasn't enough to remember what they were called.
"Come on Haruhi, we'll lead you to your seat." I heard Hikaru say as a arm was slipped around my shoulder.
"Considering we were your friends first." Kaoru said, his arm following his brothers lead.
The boys pulled me over to the far side of the table, and situated me between the two of them. Before I could say anything against it, a blond haired boy pointed out what I had been trying to avoid since entering the cafeteria.
"Hey Haruhi, why did you bring your own lunch?" His simple question seemed to capture the attention of the whole table. I was relatively sure his name was Tamaki... something... but the twins had warned me about his slightly oblivious attitude. They also said that I should avoid him at all costs, though they wouldn't explain why.
"Do you really think a commoner can afford to waste her money on food such as this?" Said the dark haired boy wearing a thin pair of glasses. His name was Kyoya Ootori, the youngest son of the Ootori family. He had his clipboard flipped open and was taking notes. What he was taking note of was beyond me, but I had a suspicious feeling that it had to do with the money obsession the twins mentioned.
"It's okay Haru-chan, you can have some of mine!" Said the childish voice of the boy named Mitsukuni Haninozuka, also known as Honey. According to the Hitachiin brothers he was the head of the Martial Arts team here, though he normally skips practice to binge on cake.
I suddenly glanced down when a large hand was placing a cup of pudding in front of me before returning to his own meal. He held my gaze for a moment, with a ghost of a smile, before returning to his own meal.
"Thank you, sempai." Was all I could manage as I racked my brain for a name. Considering everyone else had been named, I was going to assume he was Takashi Morinozuka, informally known as Mori. Apparently Mori was Honeys cousin, and there was some backstory about him being a servant, but I forget what it was about. What I do remember being told was that he's the captain of the kendo team, and only skips practice when it has to do with Honey. That, and he doesn't talk too much.
"Hey Haruhi, will you open you bento already?" Asked Kaoru.
"We want to know what a commoners lunch looks like!" Hikaru said, leaning on my shoulder to get a better look.
"It's nothing special guys..." I said as I opened the box, revealing rice, sausages, eggs and a few random vegetables.
"I guess commoners don't eat..." The twins chorused, their expressions immediately turning to ones of pity.
"Here Haruhi, take some of my tuna!" Hikaru said as if he was offering food to a homeless man.
"No, take some of this steak!" Kaoru offered up his plate for emphasis.
"I would always be willing to offer you my lunch..." Kyoya stated as if there was something more to add. I decided to fill in the blanks for him.
"At a price, of course." I was staring directly at him, his expression emotionless until he let an erie smile cross his face.
"I see why you got in on a scholarship." He said before returning his attention to the black clipboard.
The rest of the table stared at me in awe before Tamaki broke the silence.
"Wow, Haruhi! That was amazing, no one has ever outwitted the dark prince before. Even I get sucked into his schemes! There was this one time when he wanted to make more money, and the easiest way to do that was to-" There was a word for his personality. Why couldn't I think of it? "-so of course I signed the contract. But the contract he had me sign was fake! He pretended to have me sign a contract for-" Insane? No, pestering maybe? "-and all of my favourite teddies were being sold on the internet! He put them up for auction on the web! I mean, I didn't now what I was signing-" Could it be...
"Ah!" I said, realizing the word I was looking for.
"So you agree Haruhi?" Tamaki asked, his expression lighting up.
"Annoying." Funny, it was such a simple word. I hate it when a word sticks to the tip of your tongue.
When I glanced up I realized that the blond haired boy wasn't in his seat anymore, and it took me a few seconds to realize he was sitting alone in a corner growing something out of the wall...
"Whoa, new attack!" Hikaru cheered.
"One word, you're powerful Haruhi." Kaoru said before exchanging a high-five with his brother.
The others only cast an amused glance towards the depressed teen before continuing with a different conversation for the remainder of lunch.
Maybe this new school wouldn't be too bad.
"Is this really the way to dorm R?" I asked. We had already been walking ten minutes since the end of school, and even after passing a pond, a forest, and a few fat cats, there was still no sight of the building.
"We're sure." They responded, continuing towards the invisible location.
We talked about random things on the way there, like how I got transferred here, what the chairman was like, and the number of times the twins had pranked Mrs. Juniper.
We were still mid-conversation about a glue and feather plan when a building suddenly came into view through the parted trees.
To be honest, my breath was taken away. The building was obviously old fashioned, though it had a very european feel to it. However, the part that stunned me the most was not the architecture, but the greenery surrounding it.
The whole building was engulfed in roses of various colours, anywhere from red to blue, or green to orange. The sight was picturesque.
I hadn't realized I was frozen until the twins called back over their shoulders telling me to hurry up. I walked up to the front door before turning around to thank the brothers.
"Thank you for going out of your way to bring me to this dorm, I guess I owe you one." I said.
The twins suddenly started laughing, and it took a few moments before they could control themselves enough to speak.
"You really didn't guess it by now?" Kaoru said, still smiling.
"We weren't going out of our way at all." Hikaru smiles as he produces a key.
"We live in dorm R too."
A/N: Well, that was highly predictable. And I needed to have Haruhi meet all of the other characters before I could continue, so this is yet another boring chapter... you people probably hate me by now. And chapter 3 will probably be released a week from now cause I tend to lose motivation a lot (this is why I write one-shots, no continuos motivation needed) and if anyone is interested in the FMA fic it may not be posted for a while cause I only finished half of it :P Thanks for reading till the end!
