Chapter 3
Spencer's POV
"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.
When we got home, we ran straight upstairs to 'do our homework.' The truth was we didn't want to tell the guys and Tohru that we made friends with a group full of men and a cross dresser. They would freak! Well, Tohru wouldn't, but the guys would. They'd probably storm into the school and scream at the Host Club. I changed into a pair of orange shorts and a blue tank top and sighed as I pulled out my science homework. What is a stationary front? The first question read. Ha, easy. I learned about this in 6th grade!
I quickly wrote down the answer and moved on, quickly finishing and moving to math. After we were done with our homework, Tohru called us down for dinner and we linked arms, making our way downstairs together, like always. We sat down at the table and filled our plates, silently eating, until Shigure broke the silence. "So, how was your first day at your new school girls?" He asked us, causing everyone else to look up at us. "Umm, good I guess," we answered together. "Did you make any new friends?" Tohru asks. "Umm," we begin, still not ready to tell them about the Host Club, when I have an idea.
"Yes actually we did!" I say smiling. Kendall looks at me quizzically. "Her name is Haruhi Fujioka and she's a scholarship student just like us!" Kendall nods and winks at me and I smile. "Well that's wonderful! You two should invite her over some time!" Shigure exclaims, his face morphing into a creepy dreamy look. I can imagine what's going through his mind right now. High school girl High school girl! The memory of the song causes me to burst out laughing, which also draws attention to me and causes Shigure to come back to reality.
Everyone looks at me with shocked expressions and I clear my throat. Kendall pulls me to my feet and we grab our plates and leave the room. We leave our dishes in the sink and go upstairs. She tries to pull me into our room, but I pull away and run into the bathroom to take a shower. I relax under the hot water and steam and think about all that has happened since we started Ouran. Somehow, it has made me laugh more. I pull back the curtain and let the steam fill up the room. Drying myself, I wrap a towel around my body and head back to my room.
When I get there I pull on some blue sweatpants and a purple tank top. I put my orange and white hair into a messy bun just as Kendall walks in. "There you are. We need to talk," She says. I sigh and sit on my bed. "How come you are laughing more often now?" She asks. "I don't know. I guess because at this new school, I feel farther away from Akito?" I say putting the last statement into a question.
"Why?" "I don't know. I like seeing you happy. I'm glad you're still able to laugh," She says smiling and engulfing me in a hug. I smile and crawl under the blankets on my bed as she goes to take a shower. I fall into a dreamless, peaceful sleep.
When I wake up, Kendall is already gone, so I get dressed and make my bed. Then I head to the bathroom to brush my teeth. I bump into Kendall there. "Morning sleepyhead. You slept later than usual," She observes. I smile and quickly splash my face with water and brush my hair and teeth, then we head downstairs where the smell of eggs and bacon invites us.
We quickly eat our breakfast and make our way to the door, not wanting to be late to school. "Have a great day!" Tohru calls after us again. "Thanks! You two!" We call back in unison. On our way down the road, a black limo pulls up beside us. The window rolls down and the twins poke their head out. "Hey, do you guys want a ride?" One asks. "Sure! Thanks!" Kendall bursts out without consulting me. I shrug and we climb in. "I didn't know you guys walked to school," One of them says. "Yep. We had offers from our family, but we turned them down since they all were so busy already," Kendall answers. I look at them.
"Sorry, what were your names again?" I asks. "I'm Hikaru and this is Kaoru," The one on the left says with a rough voice. The car stops and we separate to go to our lockers. On the way to class, Kendall and I are separated in the crowd. I search desperately for her, to no avail. Suddenly, three blonde girls who are running through the hall push me to the ground. I close my eyes and brace myself for the impact, but it never comes. Instead, two warm arms pull me to my feet and I look up to be greeted by one of the twins.
"Thanks Kaoru," I say to the younger twin. He cocks his head to the side. "How'd you know I was Kaoru?" He asks. I shrug and reply, "I'm a twin, so I guess telling other twins apart isn't that hard." He nods in agreement and I notice his twin isn't with him. "Where's Hikaru?" I ask. "We got separated in the crowd. I'm guessing that's what happened to you and Kendall?" He asks. "Yep!" I say popping the 'p'.
He chuckles and I say, " You know, you're way more lad back than Hikaru." "Yeah, I get that a lot," He answers. "Um, do you wanna walk to class with me?" He asks. "Uh sure," I answer and we walk in comfortable silence down the hall to our classroom. When we get there, Hikaru tackles Kaoru into a hug and Kendall raises an eyebrow at me. "So, you walked here with Kaoru?" She asks, a mischievous grin appearing on her face. "It wasn't like that!" I insist. "He was just walking me to class because we were both separated from our twins. "Uh huh," She says.
"Yes, uh huh. That's what happened," I say. "Aw! You've got a crush on Kaoru!" She laughs and I glare at her. "Do not!" "Do to!" I stick my tongue out at her as the teacher walks in and tells us to take our seats. After class, the twins yet again drag us to the Host Club, only this time, we follow willingly.
When we get there, Kyouya walks up to us and asks us who we want to host us. "Spencer wants the twins!" Kendall blurts out giggling and I roll my eyes. Kyouya looks at me for conformation and I shrug. "Sure," I say. He looks at Kendall. "Um, I guess I want Honey senpai and Mori senpai," She says and we separate as girls pile into the room.
They all choose a host and then take a seat with the host of their choice. I look over at Kendall who is sitting beside Mori senpai, fawning over Honey. The twins begin talking to the girls. "Hello ladies, nice to see you again, we would like to introduce our new guest, Spencer Sohma. She will be a regular guest with us," Hikaru says and all of his fans look at me. I give a small wave just as Kaoru says, "Why do you sound so happy Hikaru? Do you love her more than me?" "No no no of course not! Don't even think that! I will always love you! If I didn't, I wouldn't play punishment games with you the way I do," Hikaru say cupping his chin and stroking his face. "AHH! BROTHERLY LOVE!" The girls squeal, and I fall to the ground and burst out laughing. It goes quiet and I feel everyone's eyes on me. "I-I'm sorry! Keep going. Carry on and don't mind me!" I say between laughter.
Slowly, conversation starts up again and I collect myself, sitting back in my chair. I look at Kaoru and see a faint smile on his lips. He really is cute. I think. Did I just think that! I don't even know him! I shake my head and try to focus on the twins' conversation. When club hours end and all of the girls leave, the twins pop up behind Kendall and me.
"Do you guys wanna come over to our place?" They ask. "Oh uh," We begin but are cut off by the twins. "So it's settled! Let's go!" They exclaim dragging us out the door. "What? Wait!" I exclaim and Kendall just shrugs and giggles. When we get to the twins' house, I'm blown away. It's huge! Just like the school.
They drag us inside and we are greeted by two twin maids. "Welcome home Masters. Who are they?" They ask in unison. "These are our friends Spencer and Kendall. Call us when dinner is ready," Hikaru says and they drag us two flights of stairs. They stop by a wooden door and say, "You guys can sleep here, and our room is right there across the hall."
"Wait what? You guys never said anything about sleeping over!" I exclaim. "Oops. Must have slipped our minds," They grin evilly. I gasp and say; "I really don't think our cousins would like us staying here-" "Don't worry! I'm sure they won't mind! Just call them and explain!" Kaoru says. I blush and nod; taking the phone they give me. I dial Shigure's number and nervously listen while it rings. "Hello?" I hear Shigure's voice say.
