Making my way through the school, I saw the occasional student walking through the halls. Oh how I disliked the uniform, it really made me glad I wasn't a student. It was almost as if the girls were wearing giant, yellow marshmallows. Finally, I made my way up a staircase, my boots thudding on the polished floor, and found a door labelled as Music Room #3. Taking a breath, I wondered what this club could possibly be. Gently, I opened the door to see a room filled with girls in puffy yellow gowns gathering around five boys. As I stepped in, everything quietened down and it seemed like all the eyes in the room were glued to me. A boy with dark hair and glasses started to talk, but I just looked at him. I couldn't understand anything he was saying so instead I spoke in perfect French, "I don't understand Japanese." A tall boy with golden hair jumped up and ran to me, being extremely over-dramatic. I looked down at him, wondering why he was doing this until he started speaking in the same language as me. "What can I do for you my princess?" Looking him up and down, I saw a resemblance between him and Yuzuru. "Are you René?" He froze, his eyes narrowing as he lead me through to the back room, saying something to the dark haired boy as he went. "Yes, I'm René, how do you know my real name?" The goofy, aloof demeanour had had previously had disappeared completely. "My name is Odessa, and I believe you're my fiancé." There was a tense silence before he poked his head out of the room and said something to everyone inside. After a moment, he pulled me out into the main room just in time to see the last of the girls exiting the room. René said something else to the other four boys in the room before turning to me, "can you speak English?" I nodded slightly, "a little bit." The boy with glasses was first to speak, "Tamaki, what's so important that you need to end the clubs activities?" René took a breath, and I noticed him gently grab one of the other's hand. On further inspection, I noticed that the person whose hand it was seemed to be a girl in the boys uniform. He shared a small glance with her before she frowned. "Everyone, this is Odessa. My Fiancée." There were a few gasps, but at least the questions that came next were in English. Of course I couldn't answer any because they were being thrown at me one after another and too fast for me to comprehend. "Please, quiet." I murmured, just loud enough for them to hear. The red headed twins stopped talking and looked at each other. "This is Hikaru," one started. "And this is Kaoru." His brother finished. I nodded slowly before looking at each of their faces. The dark haired boy, who introduced himself as Kyoya, looked curious and slightly confused as he typed away on his laptop. The red-headed twins looked rather mischievous, shocked and a little bit angry, the sole girl in the room other than myself looked calm but I could tell she was angry. That she didn't like me being here at all. Finally, René looked a little sad, but at the same time a little happy.
Looking at them all, I noted just how handsome they all were, even with the various emotions running across their features. "I'm Haruhi," the girl said, forcing a polite smile. Sending her the same I couldn't help but feel guilty... She must have been René's girlfriend and I was splitting them apart, but then René is also splitting Adrian and I apart so it wasn't just her feeling upset. "I think we'll end this here today, I need to talk to Odessa about our engagement." The twins frowned but nodded, giving up whatever they seemed to be plotting. Kyoya nodded sharply and packed his computer away. Haruhi leaned up and kissed René's cheek before letting him go.
Back at the main Suoh house, the two of us were sitting in my room. "I see you have a girlfriend..." I started out, not quite sure of what to say. "Yeah... We've been together for nearly three months. I mean no offence when I say this, but I really don't want to marry you." I smiled, genuinely, at that. "Neither, I only accepted because of my siblings. I don't see why my parents couldn't have made arrangements with my boyfriend, he's wealthy, though not as wealthy as you." We sat in silence for a while. "How did she take it, when you first told her you were engaged?" Rene looked at me, his violet eyes locking with my emerald orbs. "She was upset but she understands. Haruhi is really mature when it comes to things like this." Thinking back to Adrian's reaction, I wished he was the same. "Adrian didn't take it well, he shouted a lot... It really bothers him." René looked at me sadly, understanding how I felt a little more than before.
