The next day was my first day of actually having classes in Ouran High. I seem to be in the same class with the Hitachiin twins and Fujioka-san from the host club. I was randomly jotting down words in my notebook, like need-to-do's, random thoughts, and drawing doodles. It was a boring day, especially this class. What class is this anyway?
"Mikami-san, would you kindly answer question number 5?" the teacher asked.
"Etou, Hokkaido?"
"Excuse me, Nana, but this IS Algebra, not Social. Would it kill you to pay more attention?"
I gave a nervous smile as I slapped my forehead. The class soon roared with laughter. It'smy first day and I've made a bad impression on Sensei…
That afternoon, I met a few students who would model for me. I was quite fond of photography, I guess. I was taking pictures outside the school with my ol' trusty SLR camera, and my 'models' did a great job for the mini-'photo shoot'. Had I known, someone was looking at me from the third year music room…
The next day passed quickly, and I found myself bumping on to a certain sempai. "Ootori-san."
"Oh, Nana-san. I see that you're wearing the school uniform." He said, referring to the disgusting yellow dress I was wearing, "And you've changed your hair style too." Wavy curls landed on my shoulders as I kept the fringe of my reddish-brown hair straight. I just smiled. I have zero intention of telling him that I'm the new model of Princess Alice.
"You've taken up modeling instead of photography, ne?" Damn. Can he read minds?
"Just this once. The models were unavailable for Princess Alice's photo shoot." I replied. Kyouya smirked as he passed me by. For a sempai, he's REALLY annoying.
"Oka-san! I'm home." I called out as soon as I reached home. It was still the white-walled glass-furnitured house I newly moved into.
"Ah, Nana-chan, I have someone who wants to see you." A voice replied. She was Mikami Ai, my mother. The maids took my bag to my room and I took her time changing into my slippers. What did mother plan for me again this time? I lazily walked to the living room, where mother probably was.
There were four people in the living room: Mom, another woman, and two boys. Wait…"Kaoru-kun, Hikaru-kun?" What the…
"Nana," they both said in unison, with surprise written on their faces.
"I see you've met my daughter." Ai said in a happy tone.
"So…" The woman, who seemed to the twins' mother, stated, "Is this the 'Alice' I have always heard of?"
"Alice?" The twins asked. "Last time I checked, she was 'Nana'" Hikaru whispered to his look-alike. "Yeah."
Unfortunately, I heard it. "If you didn't know, I'm known as the 'Alice' of Princess Alice." I said. "And Hitachiin-san," referring to the woman, "What would you want to talk about?"
"Heto, I'm launching a kimono project this month, and I was thinking that if Princess Alice would join us, there would be a better outcome of the designs."
"I see." I don't really care about that. Oka-san would definitely force me to go. "I would love to take part in the kimono project. When could I meet the designers?" I asked. I have a hectic schedule, you know. "This is my designer, Kaoru." She gestured towards the younger of her two sons.
"Oh. Kaoru-kun." I didn't know what to say, so I asked, "Would you like to start making the designs?" He just nodded, and he followed me up the stairs to my room, with a sketch pad in his hands.
"Thank you for your cooperation, Ai-san. We will now take our leave. Come now, Hikaru." The twins' mother decided to leave, with her job finally done. Ai just smiled as she led the guests to the door.
Kaoru. Someone has come into our world.
Okay… R+R :D
