Hey everyone!

I hope all of you had a great weekend, my weekend was crazy and I'm still kind of tired from it. My mom threw a baby shower for her friend and had like 50 people in our house. My boyfriend was over and stayed the weekend, so we did tons of yard work and cleaning. My mom also got a jumper and even though I'm 19, my siblings (I have 4 brothers and sisters), my boyfriend, and I all jumped in it for hours. It was a lot of fun, and it took me forever to write this chapter. I originally wanted it done on Saturday but with all the distraction it didn't happen. Sad face. Anyways, hope you all enjoy. Review!

Chapter 4: Errand Girl

It was my first day of class at Ouran. I woke up feeling nervous, I wouldn't find out what class I was in until I got to school but luckily Haruhi was going to meet me at the office building.

I rolled out of bed and changed into my new uniform, since I couldn't afford (or want) they're typical uniform they had a plain white and yellow at the end of the sleeves and a yellow skirt. I wore typical white knee high socks, with required shoes.

At least its better than those dresses everyone wears, I sighed looking at myself in the mirror. I wore my hair down letting my brown loose curls drape over my shoulders. I put on a little make up just to cover any redness I may get throughout the day, even though I knew that I would still turn red when around Hikaru and Kaoru.

Once I ate a small breakfast, I was off to school. It wasn't a long walk but it was long enough and I just wanted to sit down the minute I got there. I walked into the office to ask someone where my class was supposed to be, and Haruhi showed up.

"Scar!" she called smiling at me.

"Haruhi!" I yelled in excitement. "I wonder what class I'm gonna be in."

"Lets see." She said.

An older women walked out of an office to the front desk and handed me a piece of paper that listed what class I was going to be in. I opened it excitedly and it said 1A, underneath it was a map of the school.

"Class 1A" I said aloud to Haruhi.

"Hey," I heard two voices say. "thats with us!"

I looked up to see Hikaru and Kaoru standing with their arms draped over Haruhi with huge smiles on each of their faces, I smiled back and we all began walking to the class. Once we got there, I was seated next to Haruhi both of us were in between Hikaru and Kaoru. Hikaru was next to me and Kaoru was next to her it was a good feeling to be in the class but I still worried a little bit about what Kyoya had said two nights ago.

School was over quickly and I followed the twins and Haruhi to the club room still dreading what I was going to do as an errand girl. We opened the doors and Tamaki, Mori, and Honey, were all there preparing plans for the day.

"Ah! Scarlett," Tamaki said. "Can you please begin making some tea for our guests that will be arriving soon?"

"Um, yeah," I walked away to a separate room and began making the tea.

"Oh and when you're done with that, could you please put out little snacks for us to eat. They're located in the snack closet." Tamaki popped his head in and said.

"Yeah, sure thing." I said already feeling slightly overwhelmed, but reminding myself that I'm helping Haruhi.

After I made the tea I quickly began to lay out the sweets Tamaki requested. Kyoya walked in and handed me a list of thing they had needed me to get for them. I sighed at Kyoya who wanted me to buy things that I have never heard of before, he told me the stores I should go to and handed me some money.

I left the host club to buy the certain types of drinks, snacks, and desserts the host club needed. I don't even know what half of this stuff is.

After a half an hour, I finally found everything I needed to buy and headed back to the host club, it's not like I'd even have the opportunity to hang out with anyone during club hours if they send me off everywhere. I arrived back to the music room and once again was in awe with how many girls were in the club room being entertained by the group of men, and Haruhi. I could almost laugh at the way the girls tried to flirt with Haruhi, who was a natural charmer, so all the girls would sigh in happiness when Haruhi was just being herself (himself to the girls.)

What an odd situation my cousin got herself into, having to be a host and get a certain number of requests during club hours. I could only imagine what she's thinking, which is something along the lines to, 'Oh its no big deal, gender doesn't mean anything anyways I just want to repay my debt.' I admired Haruhi for her ability to be so calm and level headed when it came to what life threw at her. When her mother passed away she immediately took on a lot of responsibility and I'm so grateful that when my parents passed, she was there for me. When my grandfather died, Haruhi and her father would come over often and bring my brother and me dinners and help us with the household chores. By helping her pay off her debt, I feel that I can somehow repay her for what she has done for me.

"Scarlett," Honeys voice reached my ears. I looked up to see him sitting down with his stuffed pink bunny eating some cake. A few girls surrounding him at the table.

"Yes, Honey?" I asked walking up to him and the small group of girls.

"Would you like some cake?" He smiled warmly at me holding up a plate of cake.

"I would love some, but I don't think I'm supposed to be eating snacks with you guys while I'm working."

"You're not working silly!" He smiled. "You're just our errand girl."

"That means working to me."

"Oh," his smile faded away.

"I'll make it up to you, okay?" I waved and walked back to the spot where I was standing waiting to do another errand.

An hour went buy and no one had asked me to do anything. I was beginning to get really bored, and kind of wanted to leave. Not being able to talk to anyone sure is a lot harder than I thought, if they'd give me something to do then I'd have no problem not talking to anyone…I still don't understand why the girls are 'jealous' of me. They don't own anyone here, I'm sure not everyone here is jealous though either. So, it must be a small group of girls. I began to look around the room to try and figure out who it is that doesn't like me.

"Excuse me," a unfamiliar female voice reached my ears. "You're the Host Clubs errand girl correct?"

"Thats right, is there anything you need?" I asked smiling as kindly as I could, even though I could sense the hostility radiating off this girl.

"Well, I just spilled my whole cup of tea. Could you clean it up?" She asked me with a fake smile on her face, she had one hand behind her back and kept fidgeting with her blonde hair with the other hand.

I looked around to see where the tea spill was but saw nothing, "I don't see anything," I said as I felt a hot cup of tea get poured all over my hair and my new uniform. I was covered in the hot tea and the whole room grew silent as they all stared at me.

I felt myself growing angry, I wanted to fight this girl. I wanted to take my fist and smash it against her face but I knew better than to act like that at school and simply said, "Oh, I think I see it."

The tall blonde girl had a smirk on her face as she watched the room stare at me, she looked disappointed though almost like she was expecting them to cheer and call her a hero for treating me with disrespect.

I immediately heard Haruhi yell for me, and Hikaru and Kaoru run up to me asking me if I was burned at all. Tamaki walked up slowly saying, "Why would you do that?"

The girl scoffed flipping her hair back, "why should she matter to you guys she's nothing but a poor, pathetic, stupid girl who thinks she can move up in social and wealth status just by befriending all of you."

I laughed, still covered in tea I began to laugh as hard as I could. "If you think that's what I'm doing here you must have some major jealousy issues. I'm only here because of my cousin Haruhi who I hardly get to see, I volunteered to be their errand girl because I would get to spend time with my best friend." She stared at me bewildered and thrown off balance, she wasn't expecting me to be so honest about my reasons for being here, "if you don't like me thats fine, but I don't think its alright for you to throw tea on someone because you don't like me."

"Well, you're still nothing but a cheap dirty girl. I knew that you had been with more than half of the guys at your old school, dating them and breaking their hearts after you got what you were after."

"What would I possibly be after? Sex? If you had looked me up correctly you'd have known that those were untrue rumors about me and that I haven't been with anyone. I haven't even had a boyfriend." I confessed, slightly embarrassed.

Kyoya began to talk, "I'm sorry but I'm going to have to ask you to leave."

The girl stood there dumbfounded, "why? It's not like I did anything wrong."

Tamaki spoke, "you poured tea on one of our members and caused quite a disruption, it's so not like you and I'm really disappointed."

"And because of that you are not welcome back," Kyoya said which caused the girl to cry and run away.

"It's a good thing I brought a change of clothes," I mumbled to Haruhi who had brought me some towels to dry off.

"Yeah, it is. I can't believe that girl just dumped tea on you. You weren't even doing anything." Haruhi said helping me dry my hair.

"What exactly happened? I saw the two of you conversing and then she dumped the tea on you."

"I was sitting down waiting for something to do and she walked up to me. She asked me if I was your errand girl, I said yes and then she told me she spilled tea and that I should clean it up. I looked around for the tea but didn't see any and then she dumped the tea on me."

"I see," he said.

"Something wrong?" I said.

"No, just even when you're not doing anything some girls seem to have a problem with you."

"I don't understand why." I simply said, rummaging through my bag to get out my extra set of clothes.

"Thats simple," Hikaru and Kaoru said began. "You're our slave."

I blushed, "I'm not your slave; I'm your errand girl."

"Same thing," they smiled evilly at me.

I turned even more red. "I'm going to go change." I left the room and headed to the changing area that Kyoya had showed me earlier and changed from my uniform into my street clothes. I wore a pair of skinny jeans with a 'System of a Down' form fitted black t-shirt and pulled my sticky hair into a ponytail.

I walked back over to Haruhi and sat down at her table, "I love you, but I don't know if I'm okay with having tea poured on me."

She laughed and told me about her story from her first week at the host club how some girl had thrown her bag into a pond, and that she ended up being jealous of Haruhi, she ended up making it look like Haruhi had attacked her and that the host club made sure it wouldn't happen again, so that I shouldn't worry to much about it happening again.

I smiled at her, and we began having small conversations with the girls sitting at the table with us. These girls were really nice and seemed fond of my cousin, they also invited me to hang out with them sometime. So far, I enjoyed being at Ouran despite the small things that have happened I was quickly making friends with the girls here.

The club closed and I was left in the room with the Host Club, they were putting things away and I was helping them. From what I could tell every day was going to be one filled with adventure with these guys. I couldn't wait for it.

Haruhi and I walked to her house (since my brother was out of town and wanted me to stay with family, I was staying at her house for the next few days) and we were talking about school.

"Haruhi," I began. "I think I have small crushes on the twins, Kyoya, and Tamaki."

"Really?" She smiled at me.

"Yeah, unfortunately," I said.

"Well, who do you like more?"

"I don't know." I sighed.

"Tamaki is obnoxious but he was my knight in shining armor the other day. Hikaru and Kaoru are so much fun and adventurous, but I feel like they push people away when they get close or are too scared to open up. Kyoya is evil and cunning, but he's so smart and will do anything to get what he wants."

She laughed, "I didn't think you'd actually fall for their traps."

"I know," I glared. "They're just so attractive."

"Well," she looked at me and smiled. "You'll just have to figure it out. Maybe really get to know them."

"How," I sighed. "I don't wanna ask all of them out on dates."

"Talk to them. We're always doing things as a group, so maybe decide after doing that for a while."

"Yeah, I guess so." I smiled. "You're always so level headed and smart."

The next day after school we went to the club room, and what awaited us was a big surprise. Standing outside of the door was a line of fifteen boys from all the classes waiting to get inside.

"Whats going on?" I said walking into the club room.

Kyoya looked at me with an evil smirk on his face. "They all want to see you."

"See me?" I asked completely shocked.

"Yes," Kyoya said, as he continued to type away at his computer.

"I'm not a host or anything though." I laughed slightly. "I don't want to be either."

"No, you're not but this would increase our revenue as well as help Haruhi decrease her debt."

I stared at him for a moment before the twins came up behind me, "We don't think she should have to entertain a bunch of horny boys."

I blushed as they defended me but Tamaki came up and said, "You'd be the first ever Hostess, I think it would be a good idea of course as my daughter I would be supervising the whole time."

I laughed when Tamaki called me his daughter. "I'm not your daughter Tamaki, but I want to help decrease Haruhi's debt as much as I can."

Kyoya couldn't keep the evil look out of his eye and said, "Very well Scarlett, you are the first ever Hostess."

"So, I'm no longer your errand girl?" I smiled.

"Thats right," he said.

Oh no, what did I just get myself into?
