Hey guys! First thing: Thank you for the reviews, faves and follows! I'm relieved that I'm doing something right! Keep them coming I would love to hear your thoughts and theories!

Second: Before you come into any conclusion there is still more to Eve than you may think. Anyway, enjoy!

I only own my characters, I do not own Ouran Highschool Host Club. You should know this already :P x


Well, after that drama episode I had that concerned my past, things were kinda back to normal. Kyouya-senpai is still an evil mastermind who cares about profits, Tamaki-senpai is usually spazzing out whenever I wear the maid's outfit, Honey-senpai being adorable as always, Mori-senpai being the quiet one in any occasion, the twins playing tricks on me whenever possible and Haruhi is as nice as ever.

I was genuinely happy when I came home from the Host Club last night, so happy I made all the desserts that night! I was glad to have people to just listen to me. I missed that kind of loyalty and friendship. But when I came back to school the next day, everyone was treating me like a hero! I didn't get this type of attention back at my old school. It felt odd.

I guess I was being slightly nicer too. I have offered help to Haruhi with English. And I've also spent time with the twins and I can tolerate it. Doesn't mean I won't stop messing with them! But for once in my life, I think I can be happy, thanks to the hosts.

I was walking out of class a bit late. You see I had a lesson without the twins and Haruhi but I wasn't far off from the club room since I had music. When I entered into the corridor from the class I saw two identical devils and Haruhi walking down to Music Room Three. I ran down and hooked my arms with Hikaru and Kaoru.

"Woah!" They both said in unison.

"Hey guys! What's new?" I greeted them.

"Well Haruhi has refused to be our toy now." The twins pouted.

"Look, I'm just not going through your pranks anymore. I find them boring and anyway Eve doesn't mind them." Haruhi argued.

"Thing is, I play dirty" I winked.

We entered the club room and everyone was already there. I did my usual routine and went back into the main room. I had something behind my back that I wanted to share. I stood in the middle of the room and cleared my throat. Everyone turned to look at me.

"Well I uh.. wanted to say thank you so I uh… made you these!" I said as I showed them the cupcakes I made that had the host's faces on them.

"Are you okay?" Hikaru started.

"You're too happy." Kaoru finished.

"Oh so you like the snappy Eve? Very well then!"

While the hosts were munching on their treat, I had sneaked past and walked over to the couch the twins usually sat on during club time. I slid something in between the cushions and wandered back.

The guests came in and I did my usual round of coffee and desserts. I was giving an occasional glance at Hikaru and Kaoru but they still hadn't sat down yet! They put old English hats on and commenced a game they called 'guess which one is Hikaru game". I was curious and watched to see if their guests had gotten it right.

They didn't.

"Hey Eve, do you wanna play?" They suggested.

"Sure, I'm game."

"Okay but just to warn you, only Haruhi had gotten it right so far."

"Fine, but I'll know which one of you is Hikaru even if I had my eyes closed!" I challenged them.

"Challenge accepted!" They chimed.

I closed my eyes and I heard shuffling. After spending time with them, I'm pretty confident that I can distinguish them easily. Even with those silly hats! I opened my eyes and squinted at them. On the left I could tell his expression was playful and mischievous while on my right his expression was soft and caring. You see, I can usually hide my emotions very well and read others as if I had x-ray vision for emotions.

"You are Hikaru!" I pointed to the twin on my left.

They were silent.

"Did I get it wrong?" I asked.

"No, you got it right." Haruhi said.

"What is your reason?" They asked.

"Well, while you may have everyone fooled with your poker faces, I , however, am not. Hikaru, you're more playful and mischievous while you Kaoru are more kind and caring." I explained.

I knew I could tell them apart! They looked at each other still and I felt like I should leave them alone. Never dare me to a challenge unless you are prepared to lose! I went to see Honey-senpai and gave him a slice of cake.

"Thanks Evie-chan!" He said.

I smiled and went back to my rounds. I gave Tamaki-senpai a wave and looked over to Kyouya-senpai. I noticed that I don't really know the hosts very well yet they kinda know me. Well that's just rude! They wanted to be friends with me so they should tell me at least something about themselves!

I frowned. Maybe they lied? I backed away and went into the back room. I wanted to distract myself. Who was I kidding, these guys are popular and yet how I could think of being friends with them? How pathetic! I opened the cupboard and started to rearrange the ingredients until a pot of cocoa powder was a little farther at the back and out of reach. I reached as I stood on my tippy toes but I was still too short. However, someone reached over me and grabbed it!

"Hey I was gonna get it myself!" I shouted. I looked up and it was Hikaru?

"Well come and get it then." He smirked.

He raised his arm up in the air making it impossible to reach. Unless I jump. I jumped only to lean onto his chest. My cheeks tinted red. I backed away and shook the feeling off. I needed to think. If he can play it at that game, I might as well join in too! I grabbed his tie and yanked his head close to mine. His face was an inch away and his eyes grew wide as he blushed. We're so close I made sure that my breath danced on his lips.

"You're gonna be sorry." I purred.

I then jerked the pot from his hand and pushed him away a little. I chuckled. That was too easy! He cleared his throat and walked back to the main room. Why did he come in here anyway? Did he want something? I might as well go and find out.

I returned to the main room only to hear, in what I thought was amusing, a noise that sounded like it was from a whoopee cushion. My whoopee cushion. Hikaru and Kaoru had anger seeping through their veins as I can see one in their foreheads throb and they looked like they were going to explode any second while their guests were blushing out of embarrassment.

"EEEEEVE!" They shouted in unison.

Shit.

I legged it. I ran to Tamaki-senpai, hoping that my so called 'daddy' could save me. I hid behind him and clamped onto his waist. He looked down at me as I looked at him sympathetically. He then looked at the angry devils stomping this way.

"Whatever she says, don't listen to her! She's guilty!" They chimed.

Senpai looked at me suspiciously as he raised an eyebrow. I smile sheepishly and scratched the back of my neck. I stuck my tongue out at the twins and grabbed the cart and offered them a cup of coffee to make up for my actions. I wasn't feeling guilty at all and I'm not sorry. It was fun, so why should I feel bad for something I found funny?

I went to Kyouya-senpai's guests and offered them cupcakes and coffee. I heard the door open and I turned to see if a new guest had arrived. But it wasn't a guest. It wasn't even a girl. I can't believe it, my eyes widened. It was a boy, he had sandy coloured locks with brown eyes. He didn't look Japanese either.

Shatter!

"You'll have to pay for that." Kyouya-senpai commented.

I looked down and indeed the china cup had shattered and the hot beverage had splattered all over the floor. Haruhi came rushing over with a cloth and started to clean the mess up. I looked down at her. She looked up at me and smiled.

"I'll deal with this, you go see him." She said.

"Eve! I knew it was you when I heard your name and the word bully in the same sentence!" The boy said.

I walked up to him. My mind was racing. My heart was thumping. My eyes were darting to the boy and everywhere else. I stood in front of him. I don't know what I was feeling: panic? , anger?, happiness?, relief?

"Wow! You've changed!" He said.

Slap!

My hand was stinging from the contact against his face. I know what I'm feeling now. I could feel myself shaking. I don't care if everyone can see! I needed to do that!

"How dare you… Kevin, after all this time you would think I'll accept you into my life with open arms? How dare you. How fucking dare you! You left me, you ditched me! And you didn't have the decency to apologise for not talking to me!" I shouted before I stormed off, shoving my former friend out of the way.

"So you're the guy that hurt our toy!" I heard the twins say as their voices faded into the distance.

I needed to get out of here! Of all the places to see him again, why does it have to be the place where I can start anew? I had wandered to the gardens and found the maze. I went inside. I didn't care where I went I just don't want to be near him again! I felt tears prick at the back of my eyes. I then stumbled across a gazebo and sat inside.

I leaned on the table and rested my head on my arms. Those tears came raining down. All I wanted was a new start and now my past was catching up to me in this school as well. Why did he have to be here?! I noticed my sleeves were getting damp but the tears just kept pouring. I feel stupid. I was never this emotional at my old school!

I don't know how long I was there but I felt a cool breeze sending me shivers. I felt a hand on my arm and another stroking my hair while calming me. I stopped my sobs and looked up finishing my episode with a sniffle. There they were, the hosts giving me sympathetic looks.

"Are you okay Evie-chan?" Honey-senpai asked.

"Yeah, we were shocked as you were-" Hikaru started.

"Seeing your old friend" Kaoru finished.

"Kyouya, can you tell us about Eve's old friend?" Tamaki-senpai asked.

"Kevin Kingsley, second year. Class 2-B, he transferred last September. He's English and his family owns a transport company." He informed.

"Wait, what?" I asked him.

"Kingsley Deliveries; a growing transport company, it was recently titled as an international company." He replied.

I didn't know he was rich. He never told me even though we were best friends for years! Why didn't he tell me? Maybe that's why he never invited me over. I'm sick of this! I don't want anything to do with him!

"Forget about him…" I muttered.

"Are you sure?" Haruhi asked.

"We understand if you want to talk to him, don't we Takashi?" Honey-senpai asked Mori-senpai.

"Yeah." He replied.

"Don't worry, I don't want anything to do with him. Call it comeuppance." I said.

See how he likes it when he gets ditched! He deserves this. No one and I mean no one treats me like shit! But I know… I can't do this alone. I don't usually do this but I think that I may need help to stop myself talking to him, feeling sorry for him and so on. Which means… Oh fuck me!

"I need your help." I said.

"What is it that you need?" Tamaki-senpai asked.

"Support."

"Eve, you know we're here for you." Haruhi reassured me.

"Thanks guys."

I called on my phone to be picked up and we all met back in the music room. I guess the club finished early because of me. Yet again. The doors opened and an elderly lady walked in. Mrs Humphrey; my caretaker.

"Who's the elderly woman?" The twins asked.

"Mrs Humphrey. She's my caretaker."

"Why would you need a caretaker?" they asked.

"My parents don't live with us. My mother lives back in England with my little sister and my Father… well I don't really know which country he is in today. He travels a lot." I explained.

"Come, Miss Trundell. The limo is waiting." Mrs Humphrey said.

"Okay."

I walked to my caretaker but before we left I turned to them and waved. They waved back. I smiled, they really do care. This warm feeling is a bit overwhelming but I kinda like it. Just don't tell them that, especially Tamaki-senpai, he will be overjoyed and jumping around like an idiot.


That night my mind was all over the place. I couldn't sleep which is normal for me. But this time, it was because of so much drama and it's only been a few days since I started Ouran! I ran my hand through my hair, messing it up in the process. I sat up, picked up my pillow and left the room. I walked across the corridor and stood in front of a familiar door. I knocked on it, hoping I get an answer.

"Come in." A voice said.

I did. I walked to the bed and the figure rolled over, leaving me room to sleep. I placed my pillow on the bed and crawled under the covers. I usually have trouble sleeping and before you get any bad ideas it's not was it looks like.

"Nightmares again?" My brother asked.

"Kinda." I replied.

"You're really scared of sleeping alone aren't you?"

"Yeah, I've had it for ages remember?" I yawned.

I felt better knowing my brother was there. I never liked sleeping alone. When I was in England I would sleep next to Charlotte. Although I was pretending I would protect her from the 'monsters', I really needed someone there for me.


I was successful in avoiding and ignoring Kevin the next day. True to their word, the hosts distracted me. They told me some of the adventures they had last year, including Tamaki-senpai being engaged! I'm not sure if that was right to do I mean I noticed that senpai would prefer spending time with Haruhi more than the other hosts. I wonder…

Anyway we arrived at lunch and everything seemed okay. Until I saw Kevin. It looked like he was waiting for me. Doesn't this guy know when to take a hint? I slammed my lunchbox on the table. I felt stares on me.

"Fuck off!" I shouted.

I then began throwing chairs at him. Somehow he's dodging them quite well. Luckily he wasn't carrying a food tray or there will be a mess everywhere! He wasn't fighting back which fuelled my anger. I can feel my arms aching but the anger was bubbling up that I couldn't care less.

"Well this seems familiar." Haruhi said.

Honey-senpai came near me with a cake but I gently pushed him beside me. I didn't want to end up throwing him as well! Mori-senpai would kill me! Speaking if which, said boy got the little man and ran back to the other hosts.

"But last time, the twin's fight was staged." Kyouya-senpai informed and the twins shrugged.

"We should really do something." Tamaki-senpai said.

"On it!" The devils said.

I had somehow ran out of chairs and was panting heavily. Kevin was also panting heavily and the students in the cafeteria were surprised at what happened. I looked around for more objects to throw at my former friend. But before I could find anything, two sets of arms snaked under mine and dragged me out of the cafeteria into the outdoors. I looked up and glared at Hikaru and Kaoru.

"You have anger problems you know that?" Hikaru said.

"Yeah, who knew so much anger can be stored in such a short person?" Kaoru agreed.

"You could have at least got my lunch…" I muttered.

I sat on the grass pouting and crossed my arms. Yes I was sulking and yes I am sixteen and too old to sulk. I wanted nothing to do with that boy and he knew that but yet he was waiting for me! The nerve!

A few minutes later the rest of the hosts had found us and brought some lunch. Haruhi had grabbed my lunchbox on the way out and given it to me. We all sat down and finished our lunches. Then Tamaki-senpai had an idea of playing hide-and-seek. Seriously, he really is a big kid.

Mori-senpai was 'it' so I grabbed Honey-senpai and ran into the maze. I know exactly where to hide! I ran to the gazebo while holding senpai's hand. When I turned the corner, that place was taken by Tamaki-senpai and Haruhi. I huffed and so we searched somewhere else. We found a dead-end and hid there.

"Evie-chan I'm scared."

"It's okay Honey-senpai we'll be fine. Mori-senpai will find us eventually." I assured him.

It was a little while but we heard everyone else calling our names. I didn't want to give up our spot easily but for senpai's sake I knew I should. Bless him. Every time I saw them it was always Honey-senpai and Mori-senpai together. We walked away and found the others.

"Takashi!" Honey-senpai cried as he jumped into Mori-senpai's arms.

"My daughter! You're safe!" Tamaki-senpai said as he gave me a death hug.

"Senpai they were only missing for a few minutes." Haruhi said.

At that point we all laughed at senpai's silliness. We were like that until we had to go back to class. We had English which was a piece of cake for me. So most of the time I spent doodling in my book. I drew the hosts and me as stick figures since I'm no artist and in the drawing I was happy. Happy to be a part of that group. Hikaru peered over to my desk and saw the drawing. He snickered at the childish artist skills that I have.

"I can't draw." I smiled sheepishly.


The club was about to begin and I felt nervous. What if he turns up again? I knew he was stubborn and this was the first time we had an argument but he should really give up. Kyouya-senpai came up to me probably because I was shaking with anxiety.

"Do not worry Evelyn, everything will be sorted out." He assured me.

I was talking to some guests and the doors opened to reveal Kevin. I sighed, I knew he was gonna come. I ran to the twins to for help.

"Quick! Give me something to throw!"

I kept staring at the English boy as they had given me something. I was about to throw it but something was off. It was soft. I looked at it and it was a cushion! This is not what I had in mind! I glared at them.

"I wanted something hard to throw so I can hurt him!"

"Just talk to him." They both said.

I sighed in defeat and walked to my former friend. He looked at me with sadness in his eyes. Damn you! Don't look at me like that! This is your fault! You did this to me! But I guess I could hear you out… I guess you deserve that much.

"Well? You gonna say something to me?" I asked.

"The reason why I didn't contact you was because I was scared you may forget about me. I didn't want you to find out that I was rich because we could have had an argument on who was richer." He excused.

He was right, we may have had an argument and treated each other differently because one of us may be richer. Heck, this school does it! That reminds me, Kayoko… So in retrospect he did have a point. But I would never have forgotten him!

"I wouldn't have forgotten you, you were my best friend! I don't care if you are rich just like how you don't care that I'm rich!"

I had enough! I was about to walk away but Kevin grabbed my arm and pulled me into his chest. He hugged me tightly as my eyes widened. I was too shocked to hug him back. He really does feel bad doesn't he?

"I'm sorry, I should have treated you better. Please forgive me." He apologised.

Tears were blurring my vision as I nodded. I hugged him back. The tears began to fall and the sobs returned. He just held me and repeated "Let it out." In which I did. Months of hurting and I was lifting the pain just by crying my heart out.

After the tears had stopped, Kyouya-senpai had given me a tissue and I accepted it bashfully. I cleaned myself up and smiled at Kevin. I noticed that the hosts had told them to leave. Why? He's my friend.

"Fine, if I can't hang out with her then I request her!" Kevin said.

"WHAT?!" Most of the hosts said.

"She's not even a host!" The twins argued.

The hosts then huddled and argued whether or not I should be a host. Although I was going to be one I would grammatically be called a hostess. This was irritating me! My anger was rising as they continued to debate.

"Don't I get a say in this?!"

"She's right guys." Haruhi said.

"Do you want to be a host?" Tamaki-senpai asked.

"Actually it's hostess and even if I did, what would my type be?"

"Well she will bring in male customers. Perhaps she will be either the feminine type or the girly type."

"Girly type it is then!" Tamaki-senpai announced.

So at that point I am the first ever hostess in the Host Club. I didn't even answer but they all seemed keen on it. Better than being a maid or a chef. I smiled all I have to do is be nice and act like a petty girl. Sure, I can do that, what could go wrong?
