August 31st
Well, my beloved paper friend, this year seems like it will be an interesting one. Since I had desired to study abroad as my parents dealt with their personal issues, my mother had it arranged that I would go live with my Aunt Esma, and Uncle Nico. My Uncle is the head of a wide chain of American Hospitals, and had the money to send my cousin Desdemona to Ouran Academy. It turns out that Ouran is a school based in Japan, but the superintendent decided that he wanted to open the doors of Ouran to other countries and started opening them in America. Why he choose Louisiana, even my uncle didn't know, but better for me, since my uncle also had me enrolled there at the first chance. The yellow girls uniform were weird, but comfortable, but blended in with my yellow hair, and somehow it made my blue eyes duller as well. Oh well, I only had to wear it to school, then after school I can return to normal clothes.
Today was my first day, and after Dezy showed me to the main office, she vanished, leaving me to navigate the huge school on my own. As I wandered, trying to find my first class, I heard the tardy bells chime and took off running down the hall, I turned a corner and accidentally knocked into a boy who was just standing there, I turned and saw I knocked a notebook from his hands and his glasses lay neatly on the floor. I stooped down to pick them up and handed them to him, apologizing. I looked up at him, seeing he was some sort of Asian boy, his hair a lovely shade of black and his eyes… wow… they were like liquid metal… soft… yet hard, cold… yet held warmth not many probably could see. The second tardy bell rang as he took his stuff without a word. As soon as the objects left my hands, I took off running again, finding my class right as the late bell rang. I cursed to myself as the teacher scolded me about being late on my first day then told me to take a seat.
The rest of the day seemed uneventful after running into metal eyes, and after I found Dezy after school, we went home. My Aunt stopped us and told us that Uncle Nico was having a very important guest come over for a barbeque that night and we were to dress nicely, while comfortably. We nodded and went up to our rooms. After I helped Dezy wash the yellow dye from her hair, since Dezy was born with natural white stripes in her hair and white eyes, she added colored contacts and dye that matched her clothes she was wearing, we choose pink for her to wear. After she dressed in black capris and a hot pink tank and adding her contacts and hair dye, she helped me choose something to wear.
We decided on sandblasted jeans and a blue off the shoulder top that Dezy said brought out my eyes beautifully. We looked outside as a convertible pulled up the drive and smirked to each other, Uncle Nico's guest was here. We had been discussing it, and we had believed he would be some stuffy old guy, and from out angle out the window, he did look it.
We ran outside as the bell rang. Dezy kissed her dad on the cheek and hugged her mom as I went and said hello to my great grandmother Stella. Dezy came over and sat with us next to the pool as we heard Uncle Nico go to welcome his guest. After introducing Aunt Esma, Auntie introduced Granny and Dezy; Dezy seemed nonchalant about meeting the guy. I stood and looked at the guy. He looked me over slightly as Uncle Nico explained whom I was. I said hello with a smile on my face, then he blinked, giving me the strangest look I had ever seen… It only took me a few moments to realize it. It was the same guy I ran into!
Dezy just came in and asked me how I could be so stupid as to run into an Ootori, and I had better be happy that he didn't seem to upset about it or I may have been sent right back to Spain and to my fighting parents! Does the Ootori family really have that much power? I will have to find out later, but for now, I have homework.
Till next time my paper friend…
