Okay, I can't believe I'm updating again. This is a freaking miracle. I got another review! I'm so happy right now! Thanks you Ouran Karate for the review ^-^ Okay, so I need a BETA reader for this story so if you're interested, pm me. I think the only reason I updated again is because I want the Host Club to come in. I love the Host Club, I mean, who doesn't love them. They're just so lovable. Especially Hunny, he is so cute! Well, read ad review!
Disclaimer: I do not own the amazingly wonderful Ouran High School Host Club *goes to emo corner but sees Tamaki already cultivating mushrooms*
Chapter 3
"Miss Elisabeth you must awaken for school." I hear someone say and crack my right eye open to see a maid standing next to my bed. I hate mornings.
"Get out." I growl as nicely as I can and her eyes widen and fear. She scurries out of my room as fast as she possibly can. I stretch my arms over my head and let out a huge yawn. I swing my legs over my bed and slowly get out of bed, catching myself on the bed post before I fall on the ground ad slowly make my way to the bathroom in my room. I look in the mirror and see the usual. My normally straight black hair in tangles, my usually tan skin that screams, Hispanic, is paler than normal, and my striking aqua eyes look completely lifeless. I grab my brush and start to pull the tangles out of my hair. After about five minutes, my brush is full of hair and my hair is back to its straight state. I turn the faucet on and splash water on my face to wake me up. When I look into the mirror again I look slightly better, but still partly like I'm the living dead. I walk into the walk in closet and pick a random outfit since I still need to get my uniform. It turns out I picked a red top with a small belt along the waist, a pair of skinny jeans, and red ballet flats. Then I go to my jewelry and bag drawer and get a red satin clutch and a red ring. I also put on my mother's cross necklace.(This is the link to the outfit .com/cgi/set?id=35614927.) Then I go back to the mirror and apply a little bit of makeup, not much since I'm not much of makeup person. Just the basics, eyeliner, mascara, eye shadow. I suddenly hear a bark and look down to see Raee standing right next to me.
"Do you approve?" I ask and do a small turn and she barks again. I'm taking that as a yes.
"I'll be back after school okay. Be good," I say and give her a pat on the head before walking out of the door. I walk down the grand staircase to see Mr. Ootori and Kyoya sitting at the table. Mr. Ootori was reading the newspaper and Kyoya was eating breakfast a piece of toast.
"Good morning Elisabeth-san." Mr. Ootori says and gives me that fake smile.
"Good morning Mr. Ootori." I say and give him a fake smile right back.
"Good morning Elisabeth-san." Kyoya says with a fake smile. Is this family always this fake? I swear, the could be dolls.
"Good morning Kyoya-san." I say with another fake smile.
"Help yourself to anything you would like to eat." Mr. Ootori says and I sit next to Kyoya and grab a piece of toast. The only thing going through my mind is how much I miss Mason's eggs. We eat in silence until five minutes later.
"It is time for us to go to school Elisabeth-san." Kyoya says and stands up. I follow and stand next to him, noticing he's taller than me by a few inches. I stand at about 5'4 last time I was measured so most people are taller than me.
"Of course. I wouldn't want to be late on my first day." I say and we make our way to the front door. Once we get into the car I open my mouth.
"Why don't you just drop the act? I know your father is making you be nice to me. I have an idea to why my aunt waited until it was time for me to come to Japan to get the mansion fumigated." I say and turn my head to look out of the limo and watch as the scenery passes by.
"You're smarter than you look Elisabeth-san." Kyoya says without the smile this time and adjusts his glasses so they have a glare in them.
"I learn from experience Kyoya-san." I say without taking my eyes off the scenery passing by. The rest of the ride is silent and neither of us dared to break the silence until we got to the school.
"I will not be waiting after school since I have things to be done." Kyoya says and helps me out of the limo.
"Like what?" I ask as we walk towards the building. On the way to the office I see many girls glare at me and I happily glare back. Well up yours too.
"I'm in a club." Kyoya saysand I sense that he's hiding something, something that I want to find out.
"What club?" I ask so sweetly I can almost feel a cavity coming.
"Here is the office. I will see you later." he says and walks away. You're smarter than you look Ootori.
OoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoO
Lunch, where you find where the cliques lie. I think to myself as I walk into the cafeteria that looks more like a banquet hall than a cafeteria. Where shall I sit? I think to myself as I look around the lunchroom. I spot a girl who looks like and is dressed like a boy eating by herself so I decide to go sit next to her. She seems harmless enough.
"Hi, I'm Elisabeth." I say and give her my signature fake smile. She just glances up at me before going back to her lunch.
"I'm Haruhi." she says without looking up.
"Can I sit here?" I ask and she nods. She really needs a makeover. Dear god I'm starting to sound like Aunt Marri! The absolute horror! I think to myself as I look her over. I can't really help it since I did grow up in a house where fashion is one of the most important things.
"Will you please stop staring at me." she says and I rub the back of my head sheepishly. Looks like she caught me, even though I wasn't really hiding it.
"Sorry, aren't you the scholarship student?" I ask. I heard about her. Haruhi Fujioka. Word apparently gets around fast when a poor person comes to this school. It's a little sickening. I've heard the side remarks some of the girls make about her. It seems like no one knows she's a girl though. I guess if you don't really look into it you can't really tell, but still.
"Yes." she says and I sweat-drop. Doesn't she talk at all? I think to myself.
"Okay, talk." I tell her and she looks at me surprised. Well I guess I would be surprised too if a random girl commanded me to talk.
"What?" she asks still slightly shocked at my command.
"I said, talk. Why won't you talk?" I ask.
"I don't have anything to say." she says and this time I'm almost positive that I sweat-dropped.
"Why won't you talk to me? And don't say it's because you have nothing to say." I say and she looks me straight in the eye.
"Because you're a spoiled rich kid." she says and I smirk. At least I know why she doesn't wanna talk to me.
"I like you. You speak your mind." I say and begin to eat my lunch.
"Aren't you offended or anything?" she asks while looking a bit surprised at my reaction.
"Nope. You shouldn't judge me just because I'm rich though." I say and continue to eat my lunch which turns about to be pretty good.
"I think I like you too Elisabeth." she says and I smirk again.
"My friends call me Eli." I say and then get up to leave and go to my next class.
OoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoO
The rest of my classes were pretty normal. I had so many different girls come up to me and tell me to stay away from Kyoya it was ridiculous. Once they would start talking I would just glare at them and they would usually back off though. At the end of the day I ended up calling the driver and telling him I would be staying after school. I was walking around the school when I ran into Haruhi, literally.
"Oops." I say and help her pick up her books.
"It's my fault, I was kind of distracted. This school has four libraries and none of them are quiet." She says and she looks like she wants to sulk.
"Well I'm just looking around the school. I'll help you find someplace to study." I say as I wipe the dirt odd my shirt.
"Well I was heading to the Third Music Room since it's abandoned." Haruhi says and I follow her as she heads there.
"Well, I'll still go with you. I don't really have anything else to do" I say and we eventually find it. When we open the door, we're met with a soft breeze and flower petals in our faces. We also hear a chorus of welcome and when the petals get out of my face I see six boys looking at us. What? A blonde boy goes up to Haruhi and he starts talking about something about her being gay but my eyes were locked on Kyoya. This is his after school activity? I think to myself and smirk.
"Wow Kyoya-san, when you said you had an after school activity I thought it was chess club or something." I say with the smirk on my face suddenly I'm whisked into a hug by the idiotic blonde.
"Well hello beautiful princess. May I ask what your angelic name is?" he asks and I feel my eye twitch. Who the hell does this guy think he is?
"Let me go." I growl and glare at him. He goes back to Haruhi looking slightly frightened. I suddenly here a crash and look at Haruhi to see her staring at a broken vase in horror.
"Oh great, we were going to feature that Renaissance vase at a school auction." an auburn hair twin says.
"The bidding was going to start at 8 million yen." The other twin says and I see Haruhi's eyes go wide.
Poor Haruhi. She can't afford that. She can't even afford the school uniform.
"What? Eight million yen! How many thousand yen is that? How many thousand are in a million? Um I'm gonna have to pay you back right?" Haruhi says and I feel really bad for her.
"With what money? You can't even afford the uniform." the twins say simultaneously.
"What's with that crummy outfit you've got on anyway?" one of the twins asks.
"Well what do you think we should do Tamaki?" Kyoya asks while picking up a piece of the broken vase. I look around the room and spot a really tall guy and a short blonde boy. I can't help but notice how attractive the tall boy is. He catches me staring and I feel my face warm up. I quickly avert my eyes and look at Tamaki.
"There's a famous saying you may have heard of in Rome you do as the Romans do. Since you have no money you can pay with your body. That means starting today; you're the Host Club's dog." Tamaki says and I can almost feel Haruhi deflate. Well I guess so; I wouldn't want to be these idiots dog either.
"Wait a minute. I'll help Haruhi pay of the debt." I say and everyone looks at me.
"That is not necessary Elisabeth-san." Kyoya says, obviously not wanting me to be a part of this little club.
"Yes it is, besides I need an after school activity. I can be a hostess." I say and smile at Haruhi and she looks back at me gratefully.
"Yes! Perfect! A hostess will give the male population entertainment!" Tamaki says and Haruhi suddenly faints. I would faint to if I were stuck with these idiots.
OoOoOoOoOoOoOoOo
I hate this, I hate this, I hate this.
"So Elisabeth-san, what is your favorite color" Manahi asks me. I hate hosting so much. Right now I'm sitting on a couch in-between two boys who are practically drooling over me.
"Why it would have to be red. The color of passion." I say seductively into his ear and I see him go beat red. I hear a commotion and see the club and girls making a fuss about the instant coffee Haruhi bought. Idiots. I think to myself.
"I will give it a try. I will drink this coffee!" Tamaki exclaims and I roll my eyes. He acts like he's being so brave by drinking instant coffee. And sure enough, everyone claps after his declaration.
"Excuse me boys, I will be right back." I say and go to where Haruhi was now fixing the coffee. I need to see this. I think to myself. The girls of course are scared to drink it, so I take a cup and drink it. Everyone looks at me shocked but I just put the cup on back on the table.
"It's not poison you know." I say and go sit back down with the boys. However, I get distracted by Hikaru and Kaoru's twincest act. I almost laugh at their act but somehow contain myself. Suddenly Mori and Hunny come in. Hunny of course is on Mori's back and rubbing his eyes like he just woke up.
"Sorry, we're running late" he says and he looks so cute! I do have a soft spot for kids, and Mori isn't bad looking either.
"I'm sorry, I was waiting for Takashi to finish his Kendo meeting and I fell asleep. And I'm still not fully awake." Hunny says and all the girls freak out. I go stand next to Haruhi and here her mumble something about Hunny really being a 3rd year student.
"Hunny-senapi might seem young and childish but he's a prodigy. And then Mori-senpais' allure is his strong and silent deposition." Kyoya says and stands near me and Haruhi.
"Eli-Chan!" Hunny says and jumps at me, grabbing my hand and spinning me in circles.
"Hey Eli-Chan do you want to some have some cake with me?" Hunny asks and I have to stop myself from falling over, but I fail and before I can hit the floor I feel someone catch me and when I look up I see Mori is the one who caught me. I have to stop myself from blushing as he puts me back on my feet.
"Th-thank you Mori-senpai." I say stuttering a bit. What? I never stutter. Am I sick or something?
"I'm sorry Eli-Chan! Would you like to hold Usa-chan?" Hunny asks me cutely and I can't help but smile at him.
"No thank you Hunny-chan." I say and he holds Usa-Chan out in front of him.
"Are you saying you don't like Usa-chan?" Hunny asks me with those big brown eyes.
"No, but I have my own stuffed animal." I say and I see his eyes get as big as kids eyes on Christmas.
"Can I see him?" Hunny asks and I sigh, but go to my purse and pull out my stuffed panda bear. She isn't in the best shape since I've had her since I was young. She has a few loose threads, but other than that she looks fine.
"This is Star-chan." I say and I see the stars in Hunny's eyes.
"She's so cute!" Hunny says and tries to grab her but I yank her away.
"'I'm sorry Hunny-Chan but Star-Chan is very special to me" I say.
"Do you wanna hold him Haru-chan?" Hunny asks Haruhi and I watch him with a small smile on my lips.
"I don't really like bunnies" Haruhi says and Hunny does the same thing he did with me.
"Are you saying you don't like Usa-chan?" Hunny asks and Haruhi leans down to look the bunny in the eyes.
"Well I guess he is kinda cute." Haruhi says and I can almost see the light bulb go off in Hunny's head. Two down, four to go. I think to myself.
OoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoO
"Take good care of him okay!" Hunny tells Haruhi and jumps on the couch and starts rolling on it.
"How did you get stuck with Usa-chan again?" I ask Haruhi.
"No idea." she mumbles and I chuckle.
"You'll notice that our club utilizes each man's unique characteristics to cater to the desires of our guests." Kyoya says. "Just so you know Tamaki is number one around here. He's The King; his request rate is 70%."
"What's the world coming to?" Haruhi asks while hugging Usa-chan to her chest.
"And in order for you to pay off you 8 million yen debt with us you will likely be the Ourans Host Club dog until you graduate. I'm sorry, I meant our errand boy you can try to run away if you want to Haruhi but just so you know, my family employs a private police force of 100 officers. By the way, do you have a passport?" Kyoya says and I see Haruhi slouch into misery.
"Harsh isn't it?" I mumble to myself. The Ootoris are so serious about everything.
"You're going to have to work hard to pay off that debt my little nerd. Even with Elisabeth-san helping you." Tamaki says then blows into Haruhi's ear. Poor poor Haruhi. She looks like she was just shot.
"Please don't do that again." Haruhi says and I just chuckle.
"You need a makeover or no girl is going to look twice at you" Tamaki says and I almost scoff. I don't really think she wants girls looking at her. I think to myself.
"Yeah well I'm not really trying to get girls to look at me." Haruhi says echoing my thoughts.
"Is Elisabeth-Chan your girlfriend then?" Tamaki asks and I burst out laughing at the idea.
"No!" Haruhi exclaims.
"Well then that's the most important thing. You have to learn to be a gentleman and learn to please women." Tamaki says but I walk away leaving Haruhi by herself with the idiot.
"Obnoxious!" I suddenly hear Haruhi exclaim and I see Tamaki go and sulk in a corner. I chuckle to myself but keep walking to the piano and begin to softly play. I'm soon distracted by what's going on with Haruhi though. Hikaru and Kaoru through her in a closet while Tamaki gives orders to everyone else except for Hunny who goes eat cake all alone. I hear the twins and Haruhi fighting but they soon get thrown out of the dressing room and I see the light go off in their head. Two more to go. I think to myself and go back to playing the piano. After a couple of minutes Haruhi finally comes out of the dressing room and actually looks good. I can still tell she's a female, but she could pass as a guy I guess. Tamaki begins crying and saying how cute she is, that idiot. Soon the whole Host Club is talking about how good she looks and I kind of tune them out and look at Mori. He is really good looking. I think to myself and he looks down at me to catch me staring. I blush and quickly look away.
"Starting today you are an official member of the Host Club!" Tamaki says. What? Haruhi is a Host?
"I will personally train you to be a first class host and if you can get 100 people to request you your debt will be forgotten." Tamaki says.
"A Host?" Haruhi says. This just got a lot worse. How is she going to be a Host since she's a girl?
I know this isn't the full episode but my back really hurts from sitting on this hard chair. I'll pick up on the next chapter and have episode two. Well...REVIEW!
