MUSIC CHALLENGE
by: DCaddict a.k.a. mori-princess359

Requirements:

1. Pick a character, pairing, or fandom you like. [I chose OURAN HIGH SCHOOL HOST CLUB. ;)]

2. Put iTunes or equivalent media player on random. [I used Windows Media Player because I don't use my iTunes much on the PC.]

3. For each song that plays, write a drabble related to the theme you picked inspired by the song. You only have the time frame of the song: no planning before hand: you start when it starts, and no lingering afterwards; once the song is over, you stop writing. (No fair skipping songs either, you have to take what comes by chance!) [I didn't skip! Though I was tempted to.]

4. Do ten of these, then post. [I'll post songs in separate chapters but really, I did them all in one go last night. ]


Ninth Song: I Do Not Hook Up – Kelly Clarkson
Pairing: ShinjuKaede/Hitachiin Hikaru

It was a mistake. I shouldn't have accepted his invitation to this Charity Ball. Now he was probably thinking I wanted to be with him; not that I didn't but. . . .well, there was really no point in telling him that. Besides, I didn't want to be seen as an easy girl. I wasn't even his type, anyway.

"Just one dance?" Hikaru pleaded with me for the thirty-second time (not that I was counting).

"How many times would I have to say 'no' for you to stop bugging me?" I retorted, obviously pissed off.

"You already agreed to go to the Ball with me. What's the point of that if you're not even going to dance with me?" Hikaru questioned rhetorically.

"The point it, it was a mistake," I said and I didn't care if I sounded mean or hurtful; I was having a rough night and he should stop being a nuisance.

He left me after that and I had thought I'd finally gotten some peace and quiet. But after a while, Kaoru approached me with worry written all over his face. He asked if I knew where his twin was. "You are his date, after all," He even said but I couldn't give an answer. How the hell was I supposed to know where that idiot ran off to? He could have gone to jump off the roof for all I care. Well, maybe I cared just a tad bit. I rushed off in search of him.

"Hikaru?" I called as I spotted a lone figure hiding out deep in the lush garden.

He looked up slowly and when he saw it was just me, he simply said, "Oh, it's you."

"If you want me to leave, you can just say so," I snapped with a pout.

"Whatever," he responded nonchalantly.

"Why don't you come inside and dance?" I asked, wondering where his usual spirit has gone.

"My date won't dance with me," he answered contritely as if he wasn't talking to his date at all.

And that was the last straw. . . . "FINE! But only one dance, okay?"
