A/N- Sorry Haven't updated in awhile! High school is kicking my ass and I've been really sick lately, so I just recently got access to a computer. But here is where the drama starts! Dun dun dun. More characters are introduced. Anyways! Enjoy!


It was a rainy afternoon. These are the days Brooke Rhoades hated the most. The weather was much like her mood, if it was sunny outside she was happy, if it was cold outside she was sad. Brooke stomped down the stairs, a frown on her face. She could already tell today was going to be a bad day, when her was frizzing, resulting with her just putting it up. Bailee and Laci looked at her with raised eyebrows, but just shrugged off her grouchy mood, thinking she was just on her monthly. Brooke just grabbed a piece of toast from the toaster, and stuffed it in her mouth, she glared at the yellow marsh-mellows her friend and sister were wearing. Today was not going to be good at all.

The ride to school was interesting. Brooke was rummaging through her make-up bag. When she found her mascara, she started to apply very carefully. It was then that Laci hit a bump in the road, and the mascara streaked her face. Brooke was not a happy camper by this time. She screamed out in frustration and hit her head on the side of the window. She three her head back, and clutched it tightly.

"Ow~" She moaned.

Bailee looked at her and shook her head, all the while thinking 'Why is she my sister?' When they arrived at school, nobody dared to greet her, cause they could already tell by the look of her face, she was having a bad day. The classes were more boring than usual, and she got scolded for falling asleep. By the time the ending bell rang, she just wanted to punch a freaking wall. Brooke thought the Host Club could at least make her day a bit better, oh, how she was wrong.


Brooke's POV~

I through on a bright smile, and walked in through the big doors of the host club, with Laci and Bailee close behind me. The first thing that happened was Honey running up, and greeting me. It made me smile even wider. I looked around the room, and waved at everybody. I couldn't help but notice Bailee's intense glare, focused right at Kaoru, wonder what happened? I also noticed, Hikaru wasn't there, which wasn't really that unusual now a days. Ever since the breah incident, hes been acting very weird. Like he never comes around the host club, but if he does, hes late and only ever talks to Kaoru. Normally, I just shrug it off, I just hope hes okay. I came back from my thoughts, when Honey pulling Laci and I towards the table which he and Mori occupied. Bailee just went and sat by Haruhi, who Tamaki was pestering.

The door opened, and in came Hikaru, which instantly brightened my mood a little bit. He seemed bored, and walked past our table. I smiled, and greeted happily.

"Hey Hikaru~ What's up?"

He looked back at me, and glared. I shrunk back in my seat, and I muttered out. "What did I do?"

Hikaru just kept walking by, and sat down next to Kaoru. Kaoru glanced at him, leaned in, whispering something in his ear. Hikaru looked in thought for a moment, then whispered something back. Wonder what they are talking about? The day went by with Honey inhaling tons of cake, Laci and Mori chatting, well Laci chatting and Mori listening. I was just replaying over and over in my mind at how Honey is when he eats cake. I looked over at Bailee, to see her and Haruhi in deep conversation. Kyoya was typing silently on his laptop, glancing at me and rose a eyebrow, which made me divert my attention elsewhere. Which I found Tamaki sulking Haruhi was ignoring him. Lastly I glanced at the devilish twins, who were chatting up a storm and their brotherly forbidden love act to their customers. Which made me gag a little. Sometimes I feel weird being a twin after I see them, but its whatever.

The double doors flew open, slamming against the mahogany walls, making me trip a little in my seat and Honey dropped his cake. Bailee looked plain irritated, and Laci looked really confused. I heard the clanking of heels, and saw her. Blondie.

"Look, its the Barbie of class 1-A." Bailee said nonchalantly, earning laughs from myself, Laci, Haruhi, Honey, and Tamaki. I did see Mori and Kyoya smirk.

"My name is Ami, not Barbie." She said as she 'hmphed', her short blonde hair swinging around her face. Bailee rolled her eyes, and went back to talking to Haruhi. Ami walked past me, making sure to flick her hair as she strode past me. My face turned into one of disgust when I smelled her overly expensive import of Paris perfume, which she applied way too much. I watched as she sat down between the twins, and I swear I saw her smirk at me. Hikaru did something utterly suprising, and horrifying. Her pulled her on his lap. My heart sunk as I knew what was coming next. It always happens in the sad romance stories I mean. They kiss.

Hikaru and Ami did just that. Right. In. Front. Of. The entire Host Club. I got a feeling that Hikaru was with Blondie this whole time, sucking face in a corner. Bailee was the first to say something.

"Oh look, Ken finally found his limited edition Barbie doll, too bad 90% of her body is plastic." Bailee stuck her tongue out at them. I looked down at my hands. Blondie looked offended a bit, but shrugged it off.

"I'm sorry that your skank of a sister couldn't tell a boy's feelings if it hit her in the face." My gaze snapped back at her, and I gasped. I looked around the room feeling everybody staring at me, waiting for my remark. Bailee, Haruhi, and Laci's face looked shocked. Only Bailee's turned into a murderous glare. I could feel the tears fill up in my eyes. I blinked them back but a few slipped out. I didn't want them to see me so weak, but I just can't take anymore of this. I got up and walked quickly towards the door. I glanced back at Ami and saw Bailee stomp up to her and raise her hand. Only to have Karou stop her. I could see the shock and hurt on her face. Karou just stood there unemotionally.

"WHAT THE HELL!? YOUR JUST GOING TO LET HER TALK TO MY SISTER LIKE THAT?! I THOUGHT YOU WERE MUCH BETTER THAN THAT! I GUESS YOUR JUST LIKE YOUR ASSHOLE OF A BROTHER!" Bailee screamed at him with tears in her eyes. Laci and Haruhi ran up to her and pulled her away while she was thrashing about. I took this as my signal to leave. I ran out the club room and out of the school into the rain. I blocked out all the calls of my name. I just decided to walk home, to try and clear my head. I started down the street. Rain soaking me from head to toe. My hair sticking to my neck and head, clothes clinging onto my body for dear life. I just let the tears free fall, it's not like anyone could tell I was crying with the rain running down my face.

~I got a pocket, gotta pocket full of sunshine, I gotta love and I know that it's all mine~

I heard my phone ringing in my pocket and I looked at it. I let it ring as I glared at it. Not the time for this song. I looked at the screen. 1 missed call, 4 missed text messages. I didn't care anymore. With sudden rage, I threw my phone out into the road, accidentally hitting a sleek black mustang. The driver honked and I didn't care whether or not I got in trouble. My day has just went down the drain. The rest of the walk home seemed like it took forever. I walked in the front door, dragging my feet. I grabbed my strawberry icecream and trudged upstairs. As I walked into my room, I took a glance in my full-length mirror. I look horrid. Soaked, my hairs a mess, and my eyes were red and puffy. I sighed and set down my icecream. I peeled off my dress and put on sweats and a sweatshirt. Throwing my self onto my bed, I tore open the icecream and started stuffing my face, with what was left of my tears running down my face. I didn't know how long I was up there but I finished my icecream and was about to fall asleep, when my door swung open and in stepped Bailee, Laci, and Haruhi looking worried.

"Brookie, are you okay?" Laci asked as she walked up to me. She wrapped her arms around me, pulling me into a hug. It felt good and I smiled a little. I felt more warmth when I noticed Bailee and Haruhi hug me too. My smile widened, I love having friends like them. They pulled back from the hug and they looked at me. We just sat there and smiled at eachother, until we just erupted into laughter. We all froze as we heard a knock on the door downstairs. All of our attention turned to Laci, who just shrugged and walked downstairs to answer the door, with the rest of us following.

"I wonder who the hell could be here at th-" Laci was cut off as she opened the door. I stared in confusion. I wondered who was at the door, that made Laci act like that. I jumped a little when I heard Laci scream,

"OHMYGAWD! JASON! WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE!?" Oh god. Jason.

"Jason." My sister deadpanned.

"Hey Jason." I greeted.

"Jason?" Haruhi asked in confusion. Laci laughed a little at her face.

"Jason is my brother, he was going to live with me but he's in his first year of college." She replied.

"Nice seeing you two again. Nice meeting you." Jason said as he stepped in through the door. He was dressed in a suit, with a raincoat and carrying a breifcase. He also looked nothing like Laci. He had bleach blonde hair which was down to his chin in a shaggy hairstyle, Laci's was just dirty blonde and straight, he had emerald green eyes, while Laci had hazel eyes. He looked more like their mother, and Laci looked like their father.

"So what brings you here?" Laci asked cheerfully. I was wondering this too. He never just came to visit, only if it had something to do with their family or our family. I was kinda worried. I hope it was good news and not bad.

"Well mother and father told me to contact you, to inform you about a welcoming back party, one of our parents friends are hosting. I tried calling Brooke but she didn't answer, and soon after that some crazy person threw a phone at my car leaving a dent." He replied taking off his raincoast and hanging it up. I hid behind Laci and laughed nervously. Bailee stared at me in question.

"What happened to your phone Brooke?"

"Um, well, ya know...I lost it."

"How? You just had it this morning?"

"I lost it when I was walking home." I replied quickly. She just shook her head and Haruhi giggled. Jason raised his eyebrow at me, but I just waved my hand to dismiss the thought.

"Anyways, the party is tomorrow. Formal, and you two's father is making you guys meet suitors. Unless you already have a date." He said looking at Bailee and I. I stared at him wide eyed. Arranged marriage? Is my father crazy?! I was about to protest when the doorbell rang. Now who could that be?

"UGH! More people!" Bailee exclaimed as she stomped towards the door. She slammed open the door, her face turned from pissed to surprised.

"W-Who...are you?" The boy looked oddly familiar. I've seen him before, I know it. Hes someone that I barely see, but know.

"Nekozawa, from the Black Magic Club. You opened the door on me the other day, and I was blinded by the light..." Bailee's face turned into horror.

"I'm seriously sorry about!" She profusely apologized, and Jason, Laci, and I all made a confused look at her. She looked really embarrassed.

"B-but...that is not why I'm here Bailee Rhoades..." Bailee stopped bowing, and gave him a questioning look. Nekozawa looked so nervous, and I think I know whats going to happen.

"I...I...I like you Bailee Rhoades!" His face and Bailee's turned red in unison, and Laci let out a long "Aw~"

"What the hell did I just witness?" Jason said as he shook his head.

"Hey now! Your were one a year ago!" I exclaimed pointing at him. Bailee was still blushing and she looked at Nekozawa. They just looked at eachother. Bailee looked to be in deep thought, and Nekozawa looked plain nervous. All of a sudden Bailee perked up.

"N-Nekozawa you seem like a r-really nice guy. B-but to win my heart, we should go on a-a date. My f-father's friends are hosting a party a-and I was wondering if you would care to j-join me?" She said quietly, looking at him.

"U-uh sure." He replied. Bailee sighed in relief. At least she can get out of this stupid arranged marriage thing.

"Cool. M-meet me here at 5:30 tomorrow e-evening. See you t-then. Bye." She said and closed the door as he nodded. She turned toward us and blushed again. I smiled, Bailee got an admirer!

"'Kay thanks! See you tomorrow! Bye." I heard Laci say as she slid close her phone.

"Who was that?" Haruhi asked her.

"OH! I asked Mori to be my date to the party. He told me Honey already was invited and that he was going anyways, so were just going to meet there!" She sounded to happy.

"What about you Haruhi?" Laci asked. "Since it's a party for our families, were defiantly inviting you!" Haruhi just smiled.

"Well, I don't have a dress, but if I did go, I would probably go with Tamaki or something." She said looking away with a hint of a blush on her cheeks. I giggled. She is so in denial of her feelings. I then realized, I don't have a date.

"I'm a loner. I'm the only one without a date." I said pouting. Laci looked at me and then at her brother.

"Jason, who's your date?" She asked.

"I don't have time to waste on finding a date." As he said that, a lightbulb appeared over her head.

"WHY DON'T YOU GO WITH BROOKE!" She screamed.

"No." He deadpanned. I shot a glare at him.

"Is that supposed to be an insult! You may be 3 years older than me, but I can still kick your ass! You might be a foot and a half taller than me, but my leg can kick pretty high!" I exclaimed glaring at him more. He sighed in defeat.

"Okay shorty. I'll be your date as long as you stop complaining."

"Bastard." I mumbled under my breath.

"So how long are you staying here Jason?" Laci asked. Yeah I wonder. He's not going to drive all that way just to tell us something and leave.

"I plan on staying a week. Then I'm back to take my finals." He replied. Being a laywer must take a lot of time. I smiled. I get to see my father tomorrow. Maybe my bad luck has turned around! I then realized, we don't have dresses.

"I will not allow you to wear ugly, cheap, store bought dresses! I will make you one of a kind formal wear, courtesy of me!" I said, grabbing Laci's keys and running to the car to go to the mall.

"Oh no you don't!" Laci and Bailee yelled running out of the house with Haruhi behind them.

"To the mall!" I yelled as I fell into the backseat.
