First off… THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THE POSITIVE REVIEWS!
-S., unibrowgirl (You sounded so girly sis I only knew it was You through your name XD), Kuro Neko to Kuro Bara, Eidolon Twilight Princess (thank you so much for your tips!), pi-or-pie, Zurla Adams,midnightsprite, I-heart-Kaoru, and WinterMission.- Thank you so much for reviewing! Guess what! Today I bought a pink bunny! It's so cute! It's my own usa-chan =D. Anyway, here's my second chapter. I give you a warning right now. I never know what to do with my "in-between" chapters (meaning the ones in between the beginning and where the story is going so don't judge based on how strange the second chapter may be. It's like writing a title or a beginning paragraph to a persuasive essay; it's really something that should be done in the end….)
"Hikaru and Kaoru are my absolute favorite,"
"Oh but Hunni is so adorable though,"
"I'm in love with Tamaki; he's so handsome and sophisticated." I suppressed a snort while Joyce swooned. Sophisticated? That guy? Yeah right. I doodled a figure eight on a sheet of paper while most of the girls in my class talked about the host club. It seemed like a common subject amongst them.
"Shona, you met the host club last week didn't you?" the girl closest to me turned, "Which one was your favorite?" I stared at her as if she were crazy. So I met the pampered flirtatious bunch, didn't mean I wanted to talk about them.
"Wait, you went to the host club Shona-chan?" Joyce aroused from her swoon to stare at me wide-eyed. Oh dear, I didn't like where this was going.
"Natsumi forgot her key," I said,
"So? Wouldn't a servant be home to open the door for her?"
"Only one was to be home that day, but he went on a date." I answered, my pencil dug in a bit more into the paper as my eight got bolder.
"So… who was your favorite?" The girl who had dragged me into the conversation asked again looking wide eyed and expectant.
"None of them," I answered quickly hoping the conversation would leave me alone, this only encouraged them.
"No way! You have a secret crush on one of them!"
"You can tell us who it is, don't be shy." I hadn't realized that it didn't matter if I was in middle school or in high school, girls were girls. If I give them a name they won't leave me alone… If I don't give them a name they won't leave me alone I realized with growing frustration.
Stupid host club. I should have known they wouldn't leave me alone, even when they weren't around! Thankfully the bell rang, saving me from the conversation. I quickly flipped my notebook to a blank page and began writing my next subject on the top hoping the others would just ignore me.
It was unfortunately not to be.
Five minuets into our next lesson a small pink paper fluttered onto my desk. I stared at it and slowly unfolded it with growing unease.
'Who is it?' The loopy handwriting asked me. My eyes narrowed in growing irritation but scratched out in my own handwriting.
'Seriously, no one' Like that was going to work. I thrust the sheet off my desk, hoping whoever sent it would recover it.
"Its Haruhi isn't it?" a small squeal chirped from the girl next to me. How the heck did they get that? I chose to not look up, which was a mistake.
"She likes Haruhi!" the whisper rushed across the class like a plague. I rolled my eyes and tried to shove my head into my textbook. Would this day just end?
Once the bell rang for the end of class I shoved my books into my bag and practically ran out the door. I wasn't going to get caught by overly obsessed fan girls, besides, I had homework to do. I wasn't watching where I was going as I dodged out into the crowd of excited students though; I turned a corner abruptly only to slam into someone else. I fell onto the ground from the force, my bag spilled onto the ground, its contents going everywhere.
"I'm so sorry!" I said looking up, irony sucks. Haruhi stared at me looking slightly confused.
"No… its fine," He said before getting my books back together into my bag. "Are you alright?" he asked as he handed my bag back to me.
"Yeah, I'm fine," I hastily took my bag from him; suddenly I felt two strong hands take a hold of my arms and pulled me up onto my feet.
"Are you alright?" a voice asked from behind.
"Mori-senpai," Haruhi said looking up at the hulking figure behind me. I looked slowly up at him, he was even more intimidating then the doors to the club he was in.
"I…I'm fine,"
"Haruhi," A pair of voices said out of now where, "Where were you going in such a hurry?" Where did these host club people come from? I watched as the twins leaned against the shorter boy's head.
"I had to run to the library before club meetings, I was trying to go fast."
"Then why are you standing around in the hallway?" one of them asked, his mouth quirking up into a grin. I began to slowly inch away from the members of the host club.
"I accidentally ran into someone,"
"Who?" I felt all of their eyes fall on me, busted.
"Sorry about that," I said plastering a smile on my face as I continued to move away.
"Oh, its you," the other twin said looking at me with a strange look.
"You skipped a grade right?" Haruhi said, he smiled, "That's really amazing," I looked at him curiously.
"You're on a scholarship yourself right?" I asked despite myself. Haruhi nodded. "So we're kind of on the same boat," I was almost to the corner.
"Why, look at the time, I really must be going," I said, I was about to dive behind the wall when I was blocked by the two red heads.
"Where do you think your going?" One asked leaning towards me. Wow. Deja vu much?
"You escaped once, but do you honestly think we'll let you do it again?" crud, you got to be kidding me. I hardly even noticed when the two of them whisked me off with the other host club members following us.
How did it come to this?
I think they knew I'd try to escape.
I was sitting at a table with Kaoru on one side of me and a few girls from my class on the other side. I stared out into space trying to ignore the giggling tulips all around me. Why was I here again? Oh yeah, I instinctively glared at the two devils beside me. Kaoru noticed and grinned sweetly back.
"Enjoying yourself?" he asked, do pigs fly?
"Shona-chan," a voice said, I looked up at Haruhi. "Could you come here for a second?"
"Err… Sure," I stood up before stumbling past the girl's already sitting around to follow the brown haired boy. Haruhi led me over to where Tamaki and Natsumi sat.
"We haven't been formally introduced," Tamaki stood up before bowing down to me like he did the first day I met him. "My name is Tamaki Suoh," He smiled up at me with what I bet he thought was a heart melting smile. Natsumi was watching me, inwardly I sighed before bowing down to my senpai.
"It's nice to meet you," I said, not even bothering to fake emotion my voice came out flat, "I'm Shona Isu, Natsumi's younger…" I stopped myself from finishing the statement when Natsumi's eyes flashed. Tamaki wasn't really listening anyway.
"Why didn't you tell me you had such a cute younger sister?" he was asking Natsumi. She met my eyes then, only I couldn't hold them.
"I never thought to mention her." I winced at the double meaning those words held, I almost wished I was back with Kaoru and Hikaru and their homosexual ways, this was too awkward. I looked up and my eyes fell on Haruhi. He was carrying a tray of tea; he didn't look like he was enjoying the club anymore than I was.
"You can go now," Natsumi said I nodded before ducking away.
"Sho-chan!" I was suddenly pounced on,
"Wha…what Hunni-sempai?" I asked while trying to stay on my feet.
"Would you like to have some cake with me and Takeshi?"
"Thanks… but I'm not really in the mood for cake…" I answered, Hunni grinned at me.
"Then hold Usa-chan for a while!" He held up a pink bunny up to me. I could only stare at it.
I had two weaknesses that I knew about: Closed spaces, and stuffed animals. I couldn't help myself when I took the bunny from Honey, who seemed overjoyed by my acceptance.
"You like bunnies?" Haruhi asked coming up beside me, he was smiling somewhat.
"I love stuffed animals." I admitted looking up at him. I hadn't realized before but we were about the same height. "They make me feel happy for some reason," Haruhi nodded in an understanding type of way.
"So," I said turning to look at the club, "Are things always like this?" Haruhi looked out across the room; he seemed to understand my meaning.
"It's a bit more hectic actually." Glad I wasn't there for those days, I looked back at Haruhi.
"Do you like being in the Host club?" I asked curiously he got a faraway look on his face,
"Well… I have my reasons for being here…" So he was here against his will too. I didn't realize how much the two of us had in common.
"Its time to play which one is Hikaru game!" The twins suddenly said loudly. A chorus of girls squealed. I looked over at them curiously. They had put hats on to hide the parts in their hair and were standing happily side by side.
"It's so hard to tell!" one girl said, Haruhi sighed before heading over to Tamaki with the tea.
"Stupid game," I heard him mutter, I drifted closer to watch as the girls tried to figure out which of the two were which. They, unfortunately, noticed me.
"Shona-chan see if you can figure out which is which!" they said simultaneously.
"Wouldn't I be at a disadvantage? I only met you two today," I realized how stupid that was to say when the two of them grinned evilly.
"So does that mean you want to get to know us?" they asked walking towards me threateningly.
"No!" I said, quickly backing away from my predators. "I came here cause you dragged me, but don't expect to see me around anymore."
"Hmmmm?" they hummed I could almost see an evil plan taking place in their minds. I looked at the clock.
"I gotta go!" I said I quickly scooped my bag off the ground and ran out of the third music room.
What… had I gotten myself into?
-Chapter 2 end-
As I said, I had no idea what to do with this chapter, but I think it came out pretty well. I can't wait for her to meet Renge. I wish I could write what's going on in the host club at this point. Maybe next chapter should be a third person thing that's going on in the host club so you'll know what they're planning. Let me know what you thought of this chapter and the idea of having a third person host club chapter ^.^
