Kids shuffled lazily into our classroom as we prepared for the last class of the day. It's ironic how Shibasaki, the boys and I all had the same classes after lunch. As odd as it was, we were all pretty much cool after that. Shiba-chan headed back towards his other friends and sat with them, while Mori, Honey and I sat together again.

"Hey, guys? What was host club training like?" I asked when we were settled.

Honey responded, "Well, it's really cool actually. Tama-chan made us practice our manners and explained how to be gentlemen. Basically all it is though is us sitting around, and eating sweets, and talking to girls, and making them feel good. Takashi even had a bit of fun when we were there, didn't you Takashi?"

"Yeah."

"And then Tama-chan told us about how we're going to have a party two weeks from now to advertise and get people to come!" Honey rattled on about how it would be a formal dance, all the school's girls would be invited, and how I should definitely dress up and come.

"Er, thanks for the offer Honey-senpai, but I don't think I'd really have fun at a formal event like that..."

Honey looked at me with his huge, boyish eyes and asked, "Why not? You don't think you'd look pretty compared to the other girls?"

I jerked back a little bit. How did he know I thought that... Jeez, this kid MUST be some sort of super-powered alien or something...

"Because I think you'd look really good no matter what you wore. Don't you agree Takashi?"

"Mmm."

"Well, erm... Thanks Honey, but... Well I don't really... I don't have any reason to go," Yeah, I thought, good excuse! "You see, every other girl is going to be there to dance and have fun, but I don't really like that sort of thing...!"

"You're joining the newspaper club next week, right?" Honey said. How did he know that... They're going over my 'resume' right now... I don't recall ever mentioning it... And why bring it up now?

"Yeah, yeah I am. Why?"

"Oh, just wondering. I wasn't sure if you were involved in anything here to be honest and that wouldn't be good for you, so I figured I'd have to check up on you and make sure you were enjoying yourself." He sounded a little suspicious to me...

I directed my attention more toward Mori since Honey was making me a little paranoid. "Okay then... Well, either way it doesn't sound very interesting to go to a formal party and sit around with a bunch of fantasizing girls who are just going to drool all over your suit before I could even dance with you." Whoops, that slipped out... "I mean, if I even did dance with either of you. Like I said, not a very appealing scene to me."

Honey giggled at the imagery, and Mori smiled to himself. I guess they caught my little slip up... Oh well, too late to make up for it now.

The teacher walked into our room, concentrated- but on the flyer in her hand, not our lessons.

She held it up and waved it around slightly, "Which of you girls is educated in formal dancing? Any of you?" Every girl in the room shyly raised her hand, including me. "Good, good. Well, girls, there's a dance two weeks from now, being sponsored by the new host club." She said the clubs name with uncertainty. "This is what the flyer reads: 'Good day, pretty ladies of Ouran! Two weeks from now the Ouran highschool host club will be sponsoring a lavish party in the main hall for any young lady that wishes to attend. For those of you who don't know, the host club is made up of six boys, two of them from the middle school, who will be there to cater to your every desire. Please, Princesses, come in your most radiant dress, and prepare to have your hearts melted by this gorgeous gaggle of boys.' Does anyone in here know what the meaning of this is?" Mori, Honey and I smiled, and I even giggled slightly at the outrageous description that was obviously put into print by Tamaki Suoh.

"What are you three smirking about? Mr. Haninozuka, Mr. Morinozuka, Ms. Dybowski? Do you know something about this?"

"As a matter of fact, Mrs. Yukomoji, we do. You see, Takashi and I are in the host club, and we'll also be attending this party." Honey stood and turned to the class, "Every young lady is welcome, and there's no admission cost. So please, come and dance with us, even if only for a little while!" He smiled in his innocent, angelic way at all the girls in the class. You could actually hear the slight moans of the girls who loved him, and hear their hearts melting. I shook my head slightly and smiled as he sat down again.

"Mori, are you actually into this kind of thing? Or are you just doing it for Honey-senpai?" I whispered over my shoulder.

He smiled a bit again. "For Mitskuni." I smiled and mouthed, 'Figures,' and turned back to the teacher.

She was pinning it up on the chalkboard with a magnet, and spoke to us girls as she did so. "Now remember young ladies, this club is just something to entertain you, don't start thinking that they are actually in love with you," She grabbed a piece of chalk from the board and started sketching out notes and examples for today's lesson. "It's foolish to think that they would spend time with hundreds of girls and like you out of them all." She turned to the class, clapping her hands together to get the dust off, "So don't get your hopes up. No offence to you, Hani and Morinozuka."

The boys nodded, understanding. I thought deeply about what she said, that thing about the hundreds of girls, and at the same time kept writing notes. Is that true... Hundreds of girls? Hmm... What makes me think I have even a chance with Mori-senpai? What would Takashi see in me that he can't find in any of those other girls? I kept pondering it, thinking about what my chances were against all these pretty Japanese girls... I figured; not much.

And when a pretty girl with a green hairband shyly over to us three after class, my spirits sunk a bit lower.
