Chapter 6
Piper's Pov
The rest of the morning was boring. Not even worth mentioning it. I was too tired to even remember it anyway. I started waking up after lunchtime. (During lunch, I had three coffees to help me wake up.)
Once I did wake up, I was looking forward to club later. Apparently, we were announcing our "joining" to the customers today. This should be interesting. Girls can be sweet, but they can be bat shit crazy jealous as well. I just hope they don't mind two girls joining a "boy's" club.
The twins told us to get to the club before they open so we can get ready to announce ourselves. I am worried what kind of treatment we need. From what Haruhi said about them, they like dressing her up in dresses and doing her hair and make-up.
Sure enough, once school ended, we were dragged to the clubroom and dressed up and had our hair and make-up done. For boys, they do know style. (It was probably thanks to their fashion designer mom.)
I was given a women's suit. It was a black jacket with a red, silk shirt underneath and black pants. I was also given black heels to wear as well. The shirt had a semi-sweetheart neckline. I was given a locket with a red jewel in the middle to wear. My hair was put in a side ponytail and they worked with my natural curl. By bangs were straightened and they framed my face with two curly strips of hair of either side of my bangs. It didn't even look like they put make-up on.
For Aaliyah, they gave her a black jacket with a blue, silk shirt underneath and black pants. Her shirt had a sweetheart neckline. She was given black heels to wear also. She had a locket with a blue jewel in the middle to wear. Her hair was in a side braid on the opposite side of my ponytail. Her bangs were straightened and moved to the side that her braid was on. A lone curl was on the other side, framing her face. She didn't look like she was wearing make-up either. (If I didn't see them put it on, I wouldn't have believed we had any on.)
"Why are we dressed up like this?" asked Aaliyah after they got done with her make-up.
"It's so you two make a good impression to the girls when they find out." Said Kaoru.
"We had to dress you guys like this, so they won't feel threatened by you." Said Hikaru.
Makes sense to me. Girls can get jealous and since they think that we are the only girls in the club, they could turn on us. Aaliyah and I thought of a plan to counter any jealous girls. We haven't told the other hosts yet, so this should be fun.
"I get why we were dressed like this." I said.
"So why did you dress us the same, but with some differences?" Aaliyah asked finishing my thought.
"We got the impression…." Said Kaoru.
"That you like looking different from each other." Said Hikaru.
"We figured adding some differences into your outfits would make you guys more comfortable." They said together with their devil grins.
"We were right, weren't we?" they asked.
"Yes, you are right." Said Aaliyah.
"Its not that we hate looking like each other. We just aren't the most comfortable about it yet." I said.
"Its still weird to us." Explained Aaliyah.
"You have been together for fifteen years, so you should be used to living and looking like each other." Said Hikaru.
"Why would it be weird?" asked Kaoru.
That is when Haruhi came in saying that Tamaki wanted the boys out in the clubroom for the big announcement right now.
"Do you guys remember the plan?" the twins asked while walking slowly to the door.
"We remember the plan, now get out!" we said in a rush, pushing them out of the room.
"Thank god! I didn't want to answer that question yet." I said after I closed the door and heard Tamaki "directing" everyone to his or her place.
"I know, but you do know we have to tell them someday? That question, plus others, will come up again and we won't be so lucky next time." Aaliyah pointed out.
"I know. I don't want the sympathies and that kind of stuff right now. We just met them this week. I don't want to ruin anything we could have with them, friendship wise that is. We moved here without our ohana and I really miss them. Maybe making new friends can help with the hole, you know?" I asked Aaliyah while we waited for our cue to appear.
"I hope we can be friends with them too. I miss our ohana just as much as you do. I think making new friends can help with the loneliness and sadness." Said Aaliyah with a grin.
"I think our cue is coming. We better stop talking so we can hear it." She whispered.
I grin back before looking at the door. I was suddenly nervous. Thoughts were running through my head. Would the girls like us? Would they be mad at the hosts for including us? Will this end badly? Will we lose the chance to make new friends? How will this affect our future in this school? I shook my head to get rid of the thoughts and saw Aaliyah do the same.
"Nervous, huh?" asked Aaliyah.
I nodded my head and she said "me, too." She grabbed ahold of my hand then and gave is a squeeze.
Then we got ready cause we could hear our cue to enter coming.
"And so, without further ado! We would like to introduce to you lovely ladies are new Host Club members, Aaliyah and Piper Blake." said Tamaki.
We let go of our hands and opened the door. Walking in we saw some surprised girls. Some were smiling and some were frowning. This was to be expected.
"Hello, ladies! It is a pleasure to met you!" we said at the same time, curtsying to them. We would have done a better curtsy in a dress thou.
"Now that the introductions are out of the way, you ladies can go sit with your host for today." I said with a smile.
"If you want to, come over and talk to us. You can ask us questions or just chat. We will be over here," said Aaliyah.
The girls then went over to sit with the boy of their choosing while we went over and sat at the table that was added to the room. It had papers on it for me, and Aaliyah's laptop for her.
After awhile, some of the girls came over to visit with us.
I kicked Aaliyah from under the table when I saw them coming over. She gets so wrapped up in her writing that she loses focus sometimes.
One of the girls walked up said, "Hi, my name is Kiki Akamine."
"And my name is Makota Hino."
"And my name is Yuka Ogawa."
"We were wondering if we can ask you two some questions." Said Kiki.
"Why of course you guys can." Said Aaliyah.
"We would be happy to answer any of you fine ladies questions." I said moving the papers away.
"Well, ok then. We wanted to know why you two would join this club? What is it that you do here? And…" asked Yuka blushing.
"And do you guys "like" any of the boys?" asked Makota blushing as well.
"We joined because we thought it would give us an good opportunity to met new people and make friends. The only clubs we could join that allowed that were clubs we didn't like. Don't get us wrong about the other clubs, we like the family feel here more. It reminds us of our ohana back home." I said.
"I blog about the club; about their activities that are coming up, themes, and other things. Like for instance, I was writing about what I was seeing and putting it into words. Want to read it?" Aaliyah asked. "Its just a rough draft thou." She said turning the laptop around for them to read.
"I help in the accounting part of the club." I said while Makota and Yuka were reading.
"I rerun the numbers and plan ahead for a budget. I help out Kyoya more than anyone else. He does so much for the club and could use the help. Want to see?" I asked handing over the papers to Kiki.
"I am a math prodigy so it is not a big deal. I actually like math cause it is so easy for me." I said with a shrug. "I high lightened some common errors anyone can make. It makes this more stable in the books if corrected now. Of course there is going to always be extra, surprise expenses. But this gives more breathing room"
"You are amazing, Piper-san. I could never do this." Exclaimed Kiki in awe of my amazing math powers.
"This is amazing, Aaliyah-san. I will definitely follow your blog." Said Makota.
"Yea, you got me as a follower too." Said Yuka.
"Thank-you." Said Aaliyah blushing.
"Now, to answer your guys final question. We like the boys, but not in the way you do." I said.
"We think of them more as friends or brothers than anything else." Said Aaliyah.
"I doubt it would come to anything more. We can't date right now anyway." I said.
"Its our parents rules, school comes before anything else." Said Aaliyah. "That is until we are seventeen."
"How old are you guys?" asked Kiki.
"We are fourteen almost fifteen." Said Aaliyah.
"Our birthdays are December 21st and December 22nd." I said with a grin.
"You are identical twins born on different days?" Makota asked shocked.
"Yea, I have the 21st birthday and Aaliyah has the 22nd birthday. I am older by eight minutes." I said.
"Wow, that is so weird." Said Hikaru suddenly appearing beside me.
"That explains a lot." Said Kaoru appearing next to Aaliyah.
"Explains what?" I asked rolling my eyes.
"Why you guys are so different." Said Kaoru.
"And why you like looking different from each other." Said Hikaru.
"You guys don't feel like twins because you don't have the same birthday." The twins said together.
"There is another reason that we don't want to talk about right now." Said Aaliyah.
"Why are you guys over here anyway?" I asked.
"We came over to tell you guys the club is closing. Its 5:30." Said the twins with a smirk.
"We will get out of the way." Said Kiki.
"See you guys tomorrow." Said Makota.
"Bye," said Yuki waving at us while walking out the door.
"Bye!" we said waving back.
"So, what is the other reason?" asked Kaoru.
"Yea, what is the other reason that you don't feel like true twins?" asked Hikaru.
"Not telling you now." I said while packing up.
"We don't have the time," Said Aaliyah, "We have to go home."
"See you guys tomorrow!" I said walking out.
"Oh, before I forget. Remember tomorrow we are bringing our siblings here. Our mom said it was ok as long as they stay away from you guys. She doesn't want them learning things. Bye!" Said Aaliyah quickly following me out.
Author's Note
Hi! Hope everyone had a happy holiday last year. (Hehehe did you see what I did there.) I had a good Christmas. On Sunday, I had a mutual break-up with my six year boyfriend so I might use it in my writing. I am depressed over it, but when one door closes another one opens. Anyway, it may effect the story in some way. I have written up to nine chapters on this story.
Happy New Year! And see you guys next Friday.
