When the twins are doing synchronized talking, I'll put the words in two sets of quotation marks like this: " " xxxxxx" "

Chapter 2: Noticed by Sempai

" "Wait wwhhhaatttt. It's a junior section student." "

" "Did you announce that junior students could come here now or something, tono? You know that's really stupid, right? Especially since there's still 15 minutes before we open. We had to position ourselves so nicely too. It's not even someone interesting." "

There was absolutely no sign of any musical instruments, except for a piano in the far right corner covered by a large cutout of velvet. Haruhi had to resist herself from fainting when she saw the six people positioned in the middle of the room in front of her. One was a black-haired giant with sharp grey eyes, standing next to an elementary-looking kid with blond hair and childish face. Next was a cool-looking second year with glasses, standing next to another second year, this one blonde and irked Haruhi for some reason.

And there were the too noisy, too social twins from her own class, class I-A. They were near identical, spare some small details, with their golden eyes and auburn hair.

" "Why is she just staring? How rude is that?" "

Haruhi blanched and she turned around to leave without a word, her face burning and red with embarrassment. She was nothing like these six guys- good looking, rich, confident. She was just a shy commoner, unnoticed by anyone. There was no reason to stay and she wouldn't feel comfortable around them anyways.

"Wait! Where are you going?" A hand rested on her arm and Haruhi jumped. She turned around to see the annoying blonde, the one who was TOUCHING. HER. ARM. The shy girl let out a squeak and pried her arm away, stepping back against the door, her hand behind her back and on the door handle.

"Why are you leaving! I've never seen you before!"

" " Of course not, tono. She's a middle school student!" "

"No she's not, you idiots." Haruhi glanced up and saw Cool Glasses-kun push up his glasses and looking at his clipboard. "She's Fujioka Haruhi, class 1-A, Hikaru, Kaoru, in the same class as you guys."

Haruhi felt her heart jump and a word formed in her mind: stalker. Meanwhile, the "stalker" kept on talking.

"Hmm. Commoner-one with a lot of nerve too, to be coming to this school with a full scholarship, no other money, and wearing the wrong uniform and only because you have no money to pay for the right one. Popular among the other male students and rather unsuitable for this school, regarding family background."

"Oh, you are too rude to our guest, Kyoya." The blonde said dramatically, swooping forward towards Haruhi.

The blonde grabbed her hand and said "Don't pay attention to the cold demon, Haruhi. Without a doubt, you are so beautiful, you-"with a crazed gasp, the shy brunette jerked her hand away for the second time and resisted kicking him in the shins. Ugh. The blonde backed away, his eyes wide and sad, his hand on his forehead as if he had a fever while the two twins didn't even attempt to smother their laughs.

"Why, Haruhi, why! Is it because I'm too beautiful? But…I…oh! It's so unjust. Don't mind that I'm too beautiful for you…I see…so this is why you can't accept me!"

W. T. F.

Haruhi wanted to slap him, hard, and yell the prefect comeback that had already formed in her mind. But she wasn't brave enough. While the weird blonde-haired person walked around the room rambling, the elementary-looking kid approached Haruhi while the twins continued laughing at the blonde idiot waltzing around the room.

"Haru-chan, Haru-chan! You can call me Honey! Do you want cake or borrow Usa-chan? " He tugged on Haruhi's brown junior section uniform (away from the exit, Haruhi frantically thought), his entire being emitting happy sparks. And Usa-chan was really cute too! This was at least one person that Haruhi wouldn't mind being friends with…

However, what came out of her mouth was completely different from what she thought. "I…I…um…I just need to….I just wanted…wanted to study…" Haruhi avoided everyone's eyes and inched her way back to the door, trying hard not to be noticed. No matter what, this was more 200% more socializing than Haruhi was used to and she wasn't comfortable amid this completely foreign group. Haruhi reached for the doorknob and opened the door as fast as she could, but-

"Haruhi! I've decided! From now on, you can live happily- it doesn't matter that I have the best looks and you not as much! I, Suo Tamaki, swear that I will make your peasant's life wonderful, even if you are poor and a bit unsighl-"

SLAP.

Tamaki stepped back, the hand that had been on Haruhi's face now on his own.

"G-get away from m-me, you…you JERK. I-I-I HATE YOU."

After shouting at someone for the first time in her life, Haruhi slowly backpedaled away from the silenced group. She felt her heart hammering and her face turning red and (unsuccessfully) attempted to cover it with her ruffled chocolate bangs. Without a word, Haruhi immediately turned and ran out the door before anyone could see her expression and teary eyes.

As Haruhi ran out the front gates of the school as fast as she could and ignoring the stitch in her side while clutching her books, she saw a rainbow, and part of her wished it was still raining so the weather could match her cloudy mood. The traumatized girl ran home as fast as she could, her mind was whirring with only one thought- Oh Mother in Heaven, what have I done now?

I promise I'll make the next chapter better! By the way, after this chapter, I'll only be publishing every Tuesday and Friday. This may change though, depending on how much time I have and the way the story turns out. But look forward to the next chapter, from the Host Club's point of view!
