Hello! Finally the third chapter! Sorry, I've been a little lazy lately, but this morning I got an email on my phone saying I got a new review. After reading said review, I got a burst of energy and I wrote the rest of this chapter immediately. You know, after eating.
Disclaimer: I do not own Ouran High School Host Club or any of its characters. I only own Rin and her story (as well as any of her servants, like Vaughn)
Please review, positive or not, it really encourages me to write more!
Enjoy!
Class was over. After about five days of training, Tamaki said today was the 'moment of truth.' I wasn't too sure what he meant. He had been talking about something that had to do with types. As it was one of his usual rambling, I decided not to listen. Thankfully, today wasn't an actual day of host club, just a meeting. I don't think I could handle another day of training with Tamaki. He was just so... impossible. Impossibly annoying, impossibly stupid, impossibly loud- impossible. And it had me on edge every since the day I agreed to join that damned club. I'm sure everyone in class 1-A noticed, too. Lately, everyone has been avoiding me; even the twins have cooled their teasing down a bit. I collected all of my things and stuffed them in my bag, being too lazy to organize things as usual.
"Hey, Sora!" I heard someone call. I looked up to see Hikaru, Kaoru, and Haruhi standing near the door, Hikaru having been the one to speak.
"Let's walk to the club together." Haruhi said. I smiled at them and nodded, rushing a bit to get to catch up to them. In all reality, those three were pretty nice to have as friends. Haruhi was a good friend to have especially; she was the only one that I actually found tolerable. We didn't talk much, but with both of us being the only calm ones in the club- and the only girls- we get along just fine. The twins were a bit irritating at times, but they brought out a whole other side of me. Don't get me wrong, I'm not necessarily the one to be childish, but I've always enjoyed a bit of mischief. So I don't mind them that much. Their constant abuse on Tamaki made everything a bit better throughout training too.
On our way to the host club, I walked next to Kaoru, who was telling me about how Hikaru had done something embarrassing again.
"I mean, the shirt was pretty eye-catching, I don't know how he could have possible missed it and slipped on it! It was funny though, you should have seen his face." Kaoru laughed, his face red from laughing so much. But Hikaru was red for a different reason.
"I'm your big brother! Don't make fun of me in front of the new kid! Show some respect." Hikaru looked away in embarrassment. I gently punched Kaoru's arm, bringing his attention from his brother to me.
"It's nice, huh? Big brothers." I said without thinking. I quickly covered my mouth. "Nevermind. Forget I ever said that." He looked down at me suspiciously.
"You have a big brother?" Kaoru said, keeping his voice down so that Hikaru and Haruhi- who were now in their own conversation- didn't listen in. I shook my head, probably too much, because he continued to stare at me.
"I don't... want to tell you." I concluded sounded like a good answer in my mind, but regretted the moment it came out of my mouth. He blinked and turned away, ignoring me the rest of the way to the clubroom. Stupid, stupid, stupid! I don't want to tell you? He's your friend you jerk! I mentally hit my forehead, feeling like an idiot.
"There you guys are! Now the meeting can start!" Tamaki yelled the second we opened the door to the room. Again, it felt like my soul dropped into a pit of despair and my mood went from bad to worse. I just slide into a nearby seat, ready to get on with the meeting and go home.
"What happened Ri-chan? Is something wrong?" asked Honey, taking a break from eating a piece of cake. God, the way he ate sweets you would think it was something as natural as breathing.
"Nothing Honey-senpai. Just in a bad mood is all." I grumbled, trying to keep my mind off my little dispute with Kaoru.
"Cake will make you feel better! Here, have some!" Honey said, holding out some cake and a fork. Seeing as it would disappoint him if I declined, I accepted the cake with a smile and ate. To tell you the truth, it did get me in somewhat of a better mood.
"So now the day has come my friends! The day when we decide what Rin's type will be!" Tamaki announced loudly. I looked up at him, his over-dramatic movements seeming more familiar after almost a week.
"Alright then, 'King'. What is this type that you have decided for me?" I retorted, leaning my head on my arm.
"Well I've been trying to figure out your personality, but you've always been so cold with everyone. And if you aren't mean, you're only bearable. That's all I could see." he said, half talking to himself, half talking to us. I felt myself getting annoyed again.
"Gee, thanks senpai, that really makes me feel loads better. I'm glad I'm that hopeless." I growled.
"That was until I looked at the file that Kyoya has on you!" he continued, ignoring me completely. I was confused. He has a file on me? "So I decided. You will be the talented type!"
"Talented? And how will that attract girls? How did you even come to that decision?" I asked. He turned back to look at us all, a content look on his face.
"The ladies will want to know more about your many talents. You will be the one who is striving to become better at everything, even help young ladies realize their dreams. And how did I come to this conclusion you ask? Well when I looked in your records and saw how ambitious you were with your dream, I thought it made sense." He said proudly. I felt my face heat up. He had read about my dream. I hadn't been planning to tell anyone, in the case they made fun of me.
"Dream? What dream?" asked Haruhi, giving me a puzzled look. I shot back an evil glare, pissed at her for being the one to ask the question.
"Dancing of course!" Tamaki said. Everyone fell silent. I sighed. There goes avoiding that old thing. I opened my mouth to speak when the whole roomed echoed with laughter. We turned to see the twins clutching their sides, struggling to stay upright. They both roared with laughter.
"You? A-a dancer?" Hikaru gasped between laughs. "That's impossible! I mean- ha- you?"
Haruhi turned back to me.
"Ignore them, you know they are idiots." she said, giving them cold glares.
"Yeah I already knew that. But there is no need to laugh." I got up and walked towards the twin calmly. They were still laughing, though not as loud as before. Both of them looked up at me, amused. That's when I snapped. My fists connected with their heads and now they were on the ground, complaining.
"YOU THINK IT'S FUNNY TO MAKE FUN OF SOMEONE'S DREAM? I GAVE UP ON THAT ANYWAY! YOU LAUGH ONE MORE TIME AND I'LL BEAT YOU BOTH TO A PULP!" I yelled at them.
"Ah! Calm down, Rin!" Haruhi said, grabbing my hands to keep me from injuring the twins again. I let out a big huff and stepped back.
"Sorry! Was I not supposed to bring that up? I'm so sorry!" Tamaki said, bringing me into a hug that I could not escape from. He was flailing around, in a panic.
"Senpai, let go of me!" I gasped, pushing against him with my arms, struggling to get free. After a lot of pushing and flailing, I was able to get free of his grasp, not without sending him back to his corner of depression beforehand. I slumped back into my chair, relieved to be able to breath again.
"Anyways, I really did give up on being a dancer. I won a few competitions now and again, but I guess I really never should have done it in the first place."
"That's a shame. So you are no longer able to dance?" Kyoya said, leaning against a nearby wall. Ah, so if it had to do with his profit, he was finally interested.
"Don't insult me! I spent years dancing! Sure I gave up on the dream of a being a dancer, but that doesn't mean I don't dance from time to time." I grumbled.
"So you can still be the talented one!" Honey said, smiling. I stared at him blankly for a bit.
"Yeah I guess so."
"Then it's decided! You are officially the talented one! And tomorrow will be your first official day as a host!" Tamaki snapped from his sadness and was pointing at me, using his dramatic poses again. "And no making fun of her for dancing either." he barked at the twins. They just waved their hands at him, acting as if they had not done anything. The bumps on their heads said otherwise.
I made a move to get up.
"So meeting adjourned?" I asked. Tamaki nodded and I was out of the room before he could object.
"Hey Rin, wait!" I turned around, having been getting into my limousine. My driver, Vaughn, turned as well.
"Ah, Miss Rin, are those the twins you once told me about? Hitachiin, correct?" Vaughn asked me when he saw the two boys running towards me. I looked up at him, his sharp memory always surprising me. Well I guess I have talked about those twins a lot more than everyone else.
"Yeah, Vaughn. Those two have been getting on my nerves lately. Wonder what they want." I responded. I stood up again and leaned against the car door while they ran towards me.
"Rin, we were wondering if you wanted to come over." Hikaru said, giving a slight nod to Vaughn who had greeted them.
"Yeah, Haruhi doesn't want to come over, even though the professors didn't assign any work today. Would you, pleeeaaseee?" Kaoru asked joining Hikaru with a puppy dog face.
"Ah, so I'm your back-up plan? Let me think about it." I put my best thinking face on. For a few moments, it was just the three of us standing there- the twins waiting for the response. Vaughn had gone to the drivers seat already. He knew me far too well.
"No thanks!" I sat back down and slammed the door shut. The car had already started moving before I could get my seat belt on. I laughed at my driver's action, knowing very well that he could hear me. And I laughed at the looks that the twins had when I looked out my window to stick out my tongue at them, imagining the tantrums I will have to endure tomorrow.
Thanks for reading you guys! Sorry for making the story kind of slow, but it's gonna get better, I promise.
Oh and sorry for the long wait. :D I'll try my best not to be lazy anymore!
