Chapter 2
AN: Hiya, minna! I'm back(with this story)! I hope everyone had a great Christmas/any other holiday that was around that time(?)! Oh, and I hope everyone has a happy new year! XD
Now, onto the story! XD
Chapter break ~_~
We sat down at the table in apparently my apartment. There was no one home, and only one used bedroom, mine. I guess I live alone. There was also an empty guest bedroom, a bathroom, and the family room, dining room, and kitchen all shred the same room(like Haruhi's place I thought when I came into the apartment earlier). Bee and Vicky live next door, Bee on my left with an adjoining door to my room, and Vicky on my right with an adjoining door to the living room.
We pulled out our homework and started. We didn't have much, we did most of it in the art and music class. We had spare time after finishing what the teacher told us to do. So, when we finished our homework, we ate dinner. We had rice and matcha chocolate flavored Pocky® sticks and milk.
When we finished that oh-so-healthy meal, we decided to explore the apartment complex before dark. We had about two hours before the sun set, so we started by Bee's apartment. Only some grumpy old couple who complained that we were always too loud lived near Bee, they were on the end of the row. Weirdos - like I have room to talk...
When we looked next door to Vicky's apartment, we saw something we weren't quite expecting.
We knocked on the door, it almost too dark to read whose name the apartment belonged to. When the door opened, we smiled widely.
Haruhi looked at us, blinked a couple of times, then smiled. "Anna, Bee, Vicky. Welcome. I didn't know you lived near here. Where do you live?" she asked, motioning us into her apartment. We walked in, taking off our shoes. I looked at her hand and saw she had a bowl of rice with chopsticks in her hands. We must have interrupted her dinner, I thought regretfully. I knew how much she enjoyed her privacy, what with the Host Club and all.
She set her half eaten bowl of rice down onto the table and walked into the kitchen. "Would you three like anything?"
We shook our heads and sat down. "No thank you. We just ate before exploring the apartment complex."
She turned around, holding a cup of steaming tea in her hands, and smiled at us. "Alright. If you're sure."
She sat down next to me, Vicky across from me and Bee across from Haruhi. I looked at Bee and Vicky and nodded. I turned to face Haruhi. She looked at me curiously. I cleared my throat before speaking,
"Haruhi. How long have you been in the Host Club?" I asked, keeping a calm facade. She looked at me funny, then set down the cup of tea and faced me.
"Why, I've been in the Host Club for only a few days. Not even a week, I believe," she said, holding her hand under her chin in thought. I looked at Bee and Vicky and we smirked. So, the second episode hadn't even happened yet! Hopefully this world is going by the anime, because we were about to start for the first time reading the manga when we were transported here.
We stood up from the table and looked at Haruhi. We bowed in respect.
"We're sorry we interrupted your dinner. If you'll excuse us, we'll be going," I said and we turned to leave. Then, Vicky left us and walked over to Kyoko's memorial thing—I forgot what it was called...—and she kneeled, paying her respects. Bee and I walked over and joined her. I heard Haruhi sigh, though I cannot fathom why. Wait, fathom? Since when did I say fathom?! And I didn't use a contraction! I'M TURNING INTO SOME FANCY PERSON, LIKE MICHELLE FROM FAIRY TAIL! ACK! NO! Hey look, I'm alone.
I stood up and saw Bee and Vicky were walking out the door. I ran up to them, my hair swishing behind me. I took my spot in between the two girls. I looked at the two and play pouted.
"Where do you two think you're going?" I asked threateningly calmly. The two froze and looked at me in unison.
"W-We were j-j-just gonna go the y-your apartment."
"Eh? Really. And do just what?"
"Erm. W-Wait for you th-th-there."
I smirked. "Why would you want to leave me by myself here? No offense Haruhi," I added the last part, looking back to Haruhi for a second. I saw her wave it off in my peripheral vision. My attention was drawn to the two girls in my grasp. I smirked.
"Let's go and continue this conversation in my apartment. Haruhi, thank you very much for allowing us to visit you! See you tomorrow! Let's go, you two," I said the last part quietly that the two girls had to strain their ears. We walked out of the apartment. When the door closed, I let go of the two girls. They looked at me weird and I shrugged.
"I'm bored. Let's break up the argument and practice one of our scholarships or something. Wanna practice that one song we planned for the host club in music, Bee?" Bee shrugged, she was always a neutral in these kinds of situations. I looked at Vicky.
"You wanna practice something from athletics, Vicky? We've backed out of PE, but clubs don't require that kind of stuff. Maybe basketball? We can walk to the park and Bee and I can practice. Bee, you remember that portable keyboard you got recently? I saw it in your apartment earlier. It is small, has a little more than two octaves on it that you can enlarge or change? It looks like that keyboard from that Star Trek Next Gen episode?" Bee nodded as we walked into my apartment.
"Yeah, ok. I'll just pop over to my place, grab it and the music and meet you by the stairs leading down?" Vicky nodded and gestured behind her to the door to her place.
"And I'll grab my ball and meet there too."
I sighed. "Guess that means I'm grabbing the snacks, phones, and lyrics for me?" But no one heard, they were in their apartments. I shrugged and did just what I said.
Bee and I sat down on the bench, right next to the basketball court, where Vicky was third most at home, second and first being in a music room and my house(in the real world).
Bee pulled out the keys and sheet music. I sighed, I didn't even like this song. But when we asked the music teacher what sing she suggested for the Host Club, she smiled and gave us this one! I sighed and pulled out my lyrics. Well, hopefully the host club will like it. And at least we aren't being forced or blackmailed into joining the host club!
I looked up when Bee snapped. She lowered her hand and smiled. Her hair was in two side braids and she was wearing a dark blue T-shirt under a matching jacket and dark green baggy capris, and knee-high black socks and highlighter green tennis shoes. In her hands, the keyboard was rolled up. I gently pulled it out of her hands and placed it on the cement and unrolled it, the keys making little metallic sounds. Bee kneel-ed next to me and set the keyboard on it's little stand. I scooted over as she pulled out the sheet music and I pulled out my lyrics. I sighed. This better blow over well, the music was hard to transition over to piano and vocals. Bee looked at me and I heard Vicky's basketball bopping on the cement slow. I rolled my eyes playfully and raised the lyrics to the florescent light of the street lamp over head. I looked at Bee and nodded. She nodded back and started playing.

I opened my eyes sharply when I heard clapping. I looked up and saw Vicky and Haruhi standing over me, smiles wide on their faces and their hands clapping loudly. I looked down at the cement and blushed. I hated it when people outside of my best friends—Bee and Vicky—heard me practice a new song. It felt like I was revealing a part of myself that I wanted none to see.
I looked up when Haruhi cleared her throat. She held her hands behind her back and smiled at me. "You have a really great voice Anna-san. I wish I could sing that well. You could go on, like, The Voice or something. Of course, we don't have it here in Japan, you would have to fly to America. But still," Haruhi said and I could tell she meant it. I have something a child might call a superpower. I can tell when someone is lying to me by looking in their eyes(AN: Yes, I "borrowed" that from Once Upon a Time, but so? It's an awesome show!). I was kind of born with it.
So when Haruhi held out a hand for me to stand up, I accepted it kindly. When I was standing, I helped Bee up. She beamed at me.
"Anna, you have nailed Snow Fairy! I mean, really! You can definitely sing it tomorrow!"
"Yeah Anna, you should! Besides, when any of us aren't playing or singing, we can just serve sweets to the ladies and hosts!"
"Great idea, Vicky-san."
"I know!"
"Hey, don't forget us!" Haruhi blinked at Bee and me when we spoke in unison. She looked at us two non-look-yet-act-alikes. She shook her head in disbelief. "Did you two just speak in unison like Hikaru and Kaoru?" she asked, pointing at us. We looked at each other, then back to Haruhi. "Yes we did. Why?"
"Okay. That will take some getting used to for sure," she said and I looked at her oddly. "What do you mean?" Haruhi returned my look.
"Why, since we are-" Vicky placed her hand over Haruhi's mouth and I looked at her in surprise. Vicky chuckled. "Heh heh. Haruhi, you shouldn't speak such nonsense!" Haruhi removed Vicky's hand from her mouth and glared at her. "I hadn't even said anything." I shrugged and bent down to pack my stuff. It was 9 PM and I get bored easily at this time of day - er, night. I packed away my stuff and straightened and turned to see if the girls had packed too. Bee had also packed her stuff, Vicky had her ball in hand and Haruhi had nothing, so she was fine.
I smiled and gestured my head towards the apartments and started walking. 3... 2...1 When I reached one in my mental count down, I heard Bee and Vicky appear next to me and Haruhi was behind me. We walked back to the apartments. We waved goodbye to Haruhi and all went into my apartment. We hugged each other good night and split off to our apartments to sleep from my place.
I clambered into bed and heard Bee doing the same next door. I set my glasses on the nightstand and turned off my lamp. I closed my eyes and darkness encompassed me as I fell asleep to the sound of Bee practicing piano for tomorrow.
