Chapter 4
I
Yuki sighed for the umpteenth time that day as the blonde idiot, known as Tamaki Suoh, flirted shamelessly with the other girls in their classroom. It had been a month since she had started attending Ouran Academy, and it seemed as he was ignoring her after she accidently walked into his club meeting. It was as if she didn't exist, and she liked it better that way.
Suddenly, the bell rang, signaling the end of homeroom and the start of their first class of the day, History, Yuki's least favorite subject. It was so boring, just memorizing things that don't matter any more, people that were already long dead, and meaningless dates. Why anyone would want to know any of that would forever be a mystery to Yuki.
She heard a chair scrape against the floor next to her, and she looked up, only to meet violet eyes. "Mind if I sit next to you today, princess?" Yuki shook her head and turned her attention back to the front of the room, staring at the board while the teacher wrote things down. She was confused, 'He hasn't paid any attention to me whatsoever since the start of school…what's he playing at by sitting by me now? What game is he playing? Maybe he's noticed that I don't dress like anyone here' she thought as she glanced at her choice of attire, a black skirt that hung far past her knees and a plaid shirt that was far too large on her. 'Or that I don't attend his stupid club?'
She felt a tap on her shoulder and turned back to the blonde, "Can I have a sheet of paper? I forgot to fill my notebook last night…" Tamaki trailed off. Yuki nodded and handed him a sheet, careful to still listen to the lecture. "Thank you, my dear." Tamaki grinned, and started jotting down notes. Yuki wanted to gag; he called her dear, like she was someone special to him; how typical of an idiot like himself. How someone like Tamaki was related to Yuzuru Suoh, she would never know. The rest of the class passed all too slowly for Yuki's liking, she caught herself nearly falling asleep on several occasions.
By the end of second period, Yuki was preparing to leave the classroom when Tamaki stopped her, "Princess, where are you going?" he asked, bringing much unwanted attention to her.
Yuki was caught red-handed, her bag was slung over her shoulder and she was almost out the door. 'Shit…' Yuki thought while pulling a deer in headlights look. "Um…I…um…" she stalled, looking everywhere except for the twenty-some-odd pairs of eyes staring at her. 'I don't want these weirdoes knowing I'm in class 2-A's English class! I have to think of something fast…I GOT IT!' "Bathroom!" She said as she ran out of the room and down the hall.
She just made it into Class 2-A's room before the bell rang. She took her usual seat next to Mitsukini, she and Honey had built a friendship of sorts over the past month. She even got a word out of Takashi on occasion while he listened in on their conversations, which typically consisted of Hunny jabbering on and she gave an occasional response. She preferred to communicate through the smallest amount of words possible, like he did.
"Yu-chan!" Honey exclaimed as she sat next to him, "You're almost late, what happened?" Yuki put a finger to her lips and gestured to the front of the room, indicating that their teacher had walked in. "Will you tell me at lunch?" the shorter teen asked. Yuki nodded, which seemed to satisfy him.
"Now class," The English teacher said, "We will be starting our Shakespeare unit today. Since William Shakespeare wrote so many plays, rather than picking a select few, I thought it would be best to make a project out of them. I will be assigning groups of 2-3 students to one play, and you will summarize the play and perform one scene of my choosing, completely in Elizabethan English. Sound good?"
The whole class started to get excited, and quickly accepted the project. They only had to read one play, rather than multiple out of a possible 37. Why not?
"So, the pairs are as follows…" Yuki zoned out, but half listened for her name. A few seconds later, "Mitsukuni Haninozuka, Takashi Morinozuka, and Yuki Hara are to be the group of three," the teacher announced. Yuki wanted to curl up into a ball, the boys were her friends, yes, but she also valued her life. She knew that Honey and Mori were sort of celebrities on campus, being in the Host Club and all. The fangirls were going to murder her!
"I will put the list of which groups do which plays on the board at the end of the lesson. Now, turn to page 21 in your textbooks and we'll start with Shakespeare's first sonnet."
Yuki packed up her things and waited for Mitsukuni and Takashi to return to tell her what play they were assigned before heading off to lunch. It had become a regular occurrence for her to eat lunch with the two older boys. She knew it attracted some attention, but they assured her that Tamaki was the most popular out of the six host club members, so it wasn't as dangerous.
Mitsukuni ran over and hugged the younger girl, "Yu-chan guess what play we got!" Mitsukuni grinned up at her.
"Which one, Honey-senpai?" she asked, gently prying the older boy off of her.
"Romeo and Juliet! We have to perform Act 3 Scene 5!"
She deadpanned, "What?" Yuki knew that scene in particular had several kisses between Romeo and Juliet. She would have to kiss either Mitsukuni or Takashi in front of the entire class! 'Please kill me…'
