Chapter 2
Spencer's POV
"Come one Spence. We better get to school. We don't wanna be late on our first day!" Kendall says enthusiastically, using the nickname everyone who is close to me calls me. "Have a great day!" Tohru calls after us. "We will!" We call back in unison, heading out the door.
It starts to drizzle as we make our way down the hall to class 1A. I've only ever seen Ouran Academy once when we were enrolled and it still blows my mind how big it is. Our old school was very small; only about 100 people went there. We hurry into the classroom just as the final bell rings and I sigh as people whisper and point at us. Once again, we're the freak twins with freakish hair.
Kendall grips my hand and pulls me forward. We stand awkwardly in front of the teacher's desk, waiting for her to acknowledge us. She looks up startled as she realizes that we are standing there, then smiles warmly at us. "Oh hello. You two must be the new transfer students. I'm Mrs. Chikako. Welcome to Ouran Academy." She looks young, maybe in her mid 20s, with long blonde straight hair. She stands and faces the class. "Students, I would like to introduce our new students. Please make them feel welcome." She turns back to us and says, "Please introduce yourselves to the class and say something about yourselves." Kendall and I share a glance and she steps forward. "Uh, hi. My name is Kendall Sohma. I'm an actress as well as musician." She steps to the side and looks at me.
"Um, I'm Spencer Sohma. There's uh, not much to say that Kendall hasn't already said. I'm an actress and musician too," I say, hurrying to get this over with.
I always hated talking about myself in front of people. I never know what to say or what they expect. Mrs. Chikako smiles warly and says, "How nice. That's wonderful. You two may take a seat in front of Mr. Fujioka. Mr. Fujioka, please raise your hand." A boy near the back of the room with short brown hair and chocolate brown eyes raises his hand.
He looks more like a girl then a boy in my opinion. Just like Yuki. He is sitting in between a set of boy twins with bright orange hair, a little brighter than Kyo's and ours'. We walk over and take our seats in front of them. I can hear them whispering all through class, which really started to piss me off after awhile. All I could focus on was their annoying voices and not the class. When the bell finally rang signaling the end of the day. I sighed in relief that we would be finally going home. On our way our, someone grabbed us by the arm and began pulling us down the hall. "Hey! What the hell? Let us go!" I shouted struggling to get out of their grasp. "Ah ah ah. Not until…" one voice said in my ear. "We reach the club room," the other finished in Kendall's ear. When I heard they were boy voices, I struggled and kicked even more. I couldn't afford to transform. Akito would find out and ruin everything!
"Hikaru, Kaoru. Don't scare them," Another voice said. I turned to see the Fujioka guy from class, along with the two orange-headed twins. I continued to struggle until we reached a pair of giant beautifully decorated doors. They pushed them open and pulled us inside. "Hikaru, Kaoru. Who are they?" A tall blonde boy said walking up to us. "These are the new transfers. They're in our class. Kyouya senpai told us to bring them," the twins said in unison.
"What? Why?" The blonde asked and the twins just shrugged. "Because, I had some questions for them and I thought they would be good customers," a man with black hair and glasses says appearing out of nowhere. "Oh. You're right. They do look like good customers," The blonde says. "Hello Princess. What's you're name? My name is Tamaki Suoh. You're very beautiful," the blonde says cupping my chin in one hand. I push him away and move as far away from him as possible, without bumping into the twins. He looks at me puzzled and continues onto Kendall, who blushes a bright red color.
"Hey! Where are you going!" a little blonde boy says popping up. "Stay and play with us! Would you like some cake?" He asks stepping toward me. I jump back and fall into someone. We fall to the floor and I wait for the poof, signaling my transformation into a fox. But it never comes. I hear Kendall gasp as I sit up and stare into a pair of brown eyes. "S-sorry," I stutter. Fujioka smiles at me then turns to the group of boys. "Guys, leave them alone. It's obvious they don't like it here." "But Haruhi!" The twins protest, but stop as she sends them a warning glare.
"I'm sorry Spencer. They're full of trouble, but they mean no harm," Haruhi says to me. "H-how did you know I was Spencer?" I ask. "Well, you seem more closed off and secretive than Kendall, who seems more open and hyper." I giggle as Kendall protests. "It's true Ken," I say laughing now. She looks at me shocked. Probably because I never laugh. I haven't laughed in years. She pulls me to my feet and one of the twins pulls Haruhi to her feet.
I collect myself and put an arm over my sister's shoulder. "Ok, now that there is less tension in the room, let's talk," The glasses guy says. We sit down and glasses stands above us. "Now, I understand you are from the Sohma family, am I correct?" he asks. "Yeah," I answer, not sure where this is going. "Then why are you here on a scholarship, when your family is very very rich?" "We uh, we're not on very good terms with the head of our family," Kendall answers.
I self-consciously reach for the back of my neck, where a large scar distorts it from when Akito threw me into a nail in the wall. "Akito Sohma, am I correct?" Glasses asks and I shudder involuntarily at the name. It doesn't go unnoticed by glasses and Kendall. "Yes," I answer, willing my voice not to crack. It doesn't. He opens his mouth to speak, but I cut him off. "How do you know all of this stuff?" I question. "Kyouya senpai is a stalker," Haruhi says. Kendall and I stare at him. "I am not a stalker. I just like to know backround information about my acquaintances," he defends himself. "Yeah yeah whatever. Now it's our turn to ask you guys questions," I say standing up.
"Why is Haruhi dressed like a boy, when she's obviously a girl?" They stare at me shocked, before one of the twins asks, "How did you know she was a girl?" "It's obvious," I say shrugging. They look at me skeptically before Haruhi says, "It is pretty obvious Hikaru. The people here are just to dumb to notice." That comment sends Tamaki into a dark corner full of mushrooms.
I look at him questioningly and Kyouya says, "Don't mind him. The real thing you should be thinking about is keeping Haruhi's secret. Due to… reasons, Haruhi has to hide her gender and be a host." I look at Haruhi and she says, "I broke a vase and now I owe 80 million yen to the Host Club." "Ohhh so that's what this is!" Kendall and I say in unison. The hosts look at us questioningly. "We thought that…" I start.
"This was just a group full of perverts," Kendall finishes. "Just like Shigure!" We suddenly exclaim together. "Who's Shigure?" The short blonde asks. " Our cousin," Kendall answers. "Well, if that's all you needed," I start. "Well just be leaving now," I answer. "Wait! Why don't you stay and hang out for awhile?" Tamaki senpai asks coming out of his corner. "No thanks," we say. "We like to keep to ourselves." The twins share a look and suddenly pop up beside us. "That's not a very good-" one starts. "Thing to do," the other finishes. "Trust us. We know what we're talking about," they finish in unison. I look from the twins, to the host club, to Kendall, who shrugs and says, "Sure." We leave the clubroom and I think about all that has happened in the last hour.
