Chapter 10: First Time for Everything

'The next day was remotely normal, saying as the events from the day before were strange enough to be questioned. It was difficult to say what was on everyone's mind - especially Maya's - with the whole Zuka club thing. It wasn't brought up in class by the twins, and the rest of the host club hadn't started dressing as girls. (Which Haruhi told me that they had done that exact thing when the Zuka club asked her to transfer.)

Over the course of the week, it had started to become a habit to walk to the music room after school with Maya for her Trig tutoring. Most of the days I chose and sit in the back of the room and draw, maybe write a little. I'd try to get my homework done, but most days I'd get frustrated and put it off until later. On other days, I sat back and watched the hosts do all their work. It was immediately obvious to me that Tamaki defiantly had a way with the ladies and could tell them exactly what they needed to hear. They would swoon and squeal over the things he'd say, but never would they actually make a move on him. I found this interesting, saying as that when Tamaki talked them, he often got ridiculously close to their lips…

Honey, on the other hand, was adorable as always, talking about cake and his late grandma. The girls who would request him always seemed to be people who loved kids, or just found him adorable in every way. Mori would sit and smile everyone once in a while as the girls asked him a question. I've never heard him speak more than one sentence at a time, and those small sentences he does put together are always directed to Honey.

Kyoya is more collected and reserved that any of the other hosts, but I don't get to see him flirt to often because he's always with Maya. The small times he does get to meet with his guests, however, are usually filled with intellectual conversations, and not chit chat and side topics.

Then the twins are their own type of people…. They constantly play the 'brotherly love' card when they feel like the topics that are brought up are extremely boring, or their losing the customers. Their always hugging each other or look into each other's eyes with their lips millimeters apart. I found that the most disturbing out of every single stunt they pull, but maybe it's just because I'm not a huge thing about gay love.

Eventually, they all finish up their little business and we'd hang out for little while and clean up the music room. This is the time where I actually got to talk to everyone. We'd joke and bicker about homework and teachers, the they'd talk about some of the girls that they'd met that girls, if there were any new customers, and if any of them had confessed that day. After this, Kyoya would hold a meeting and tell the boys things they needed to work on and all that jazz while Maya and I waited in the back of the room for them to get done. One day, we tried to leave as Kyoya was lecturing the boys about not talking to the girls enough and he completely freaked on us and banned us from leaving before the meeting was over. I was always thankful that they never really lasted long, the longest one's have lasted maybe 15 extra minutes. After they were all done, we'd go out and wait for our parents or walk home.

I wondered how Tamaki and the rest of them could do it, flirt with so many women. I admired how they could restrain themselves around certain ones and bring out the flirtatious side of the quieter girls. I also wondered if the girls knew that the boys weren't really in love with them… and if they had no idea how much their hearts would be broken if they found out. Pfft, glad I wasn't one of them.'

I closed my journal and glanced at the clock. It was 9:30 at night and I needed to wake up at 5:30 the next morning. I sighed and slid the leather bound book under my mattress, changing into my pajamas: which consisted of a tank top and sweatpants. I went over to my dresser and quickly ripped a hairbrush through my black hair. After that I washed my face and took off all the makeup I wore during the day (Which wasn't much.)

Right before I climbed into bed and turned out the lights, I heard a buzzing from my nightstand. Then came my text ringtone for Maya, the moo of a cow.

I ran over to where it was and unlocked it, wondering what she would be texting me at this hour. She was usually asleep before I was.

"Rin, after school tomorrow, instead of in music room three the host club is doing something at the park so we're going to have to meet there" The text read, "That is, if you're going with me tomorrow."

I rolled my eyes and texted back, "Duh I'm going. I have nothing better to do anyway, do I? xD G'night Maya."

I turned my phone off and put it on its charger, then pulled out my radio and put in an OBB cd. They were a Christian American Band I had gotten hooked on while I was in America. I turned off my light and then snuggled into giant, fluffy mass of my covers. I grabbed my stuffed animal, Liony the Lion, and yawned, saying a quick prayer and then falling asleep.

I woke up with my face in the bed, and drool coating most of my face and the fabric that covered my pillows. Yawning, I faintly heard an annoying beeping sound, and then realized that it was only my alarm clock. I lazily rolled to the edge of my bed and hit the snooze button, grumbling about how much I hated school. I peeled myself from beneath the covers and stumbled over to my bathroom, where I proceeded to splash my face with ice cold water.

This snapped me out of my sleepy daze almost immediately and I sputtered and spit, shuddering. I groaned and started from then to go through my daily routine, which consisted of ripping a hairbrush through my hair again, brushing my teeth and looking I had rabies, and then putting on my mascara and eyeliner. Then, I got my dress out of the dryer (I have to wash it every night) and slipped it on along with all the accessories that I'm forced to wear with it.

By this time it was 6 o'clock, so I had a little time before my dad took me to school. I woke up my sister and ran into the kitchen, quickly making me and the family breakfast. You see, my parents had gotten divorced about a year ago and I didn't see my mom nearly at all. I had to take on all of the motherly chores which meant cooking, cleaning, and helping my sister and brother with homework.

I made some eggs and French toast, and then laid them all out on the table with some Orange Juice. I glanced through the pantry that was hidden beside our oven and sighed; I would have to run by the store later. Of course, to get stuff from the store I would have to get money. And that means I'd have to go to work.

I sighed and shook my head, quickly making a list of everything that we need. Stuffing the small piece of paper into my pocket, I grabbed my backpack, a piece of bacon, and then ran out of the kitchen and into the garage, where Dad was waiting for me in the car.

We drove to school and he dropped me off, telling me goodbye and then drove off. I smiled and slugged my backpack along, rubbing my eyes. Even though it was 7:15 now, I was extremely tired and void of all energy that I had acquired the day before. I groaned and made my way into the school, running off to my classroom.

The day went by normally. I was pestered by the twins, bombarded with homework, and then pestered some more. The only peace I ever got was when I went to the bathroom… which, by the way, was HUGE. I swear, Barack Obama could come in here and he would find it even better than the White House's lavatory!

Finally, the bell rang. I ran outside of the classroom and waited for Maya for a bit, happy when she finally showed up. "Hey, Maya." I smiled.

She waved and was about to say something when the twins walked by, "Hey," Karou asked, "Are you guys going to the host club today?"

We both nodded and I put my hands behind my head, "Why?"

Hikaru shrugged, "Nothing. We just figured we should show you where the park is… since you probably don't know."

I rolled my eyes and hesitantly agreed. I mean, why not? I wasn't used to this part of town, and I sure didn't want to get lost.

Hikaru smiled and put an arm behind Karou's shoulders, and Karou put his arm behind Hikaru's waist. "Let's go then!" They said in unison, smirking.

Maya and I followed slowly behind then, dragging our homework-heavy bags. "Is it much farther?" Maya asked.

Karou shook his head and pointed in front of us, "Nope. We're here."

We walked inside of the gate and raised an eyebrow, seeing as there were no fan girls here yet. The both of us walked with our bags to where we usually would sit when we heard a voice from behind us, "You girls may want to put those bags somewhere else. Host's shouldn't carry around their school supplies."

The both of us spun on our heels to see Honey (On Mori's shoulders), Tamaki, Kyoya, and the twins standing in front of us. All of them looked smug and were hiding something behind their backs. "What do you mean?!" I asked, wondering if I had heard them wrong.

Tamaki pulled out two maid costumes from behind his back and smiled huge, "Starting today, you both are official members of the host club!"

Maya's jaw dropped along with mine and we both shook our heads, "Uh, I'm just here for tutoring, Kyoya," Maya barely managed to get out.

Kyoya smirked and pushed his glasses up on the bridge of his nose, "Until now. Both of you girls have cost this club a lot of money, you know."

I scoffed, "How?"

Kyoya turned his gaze to me. "You see, since you girls came, our profits have been going down. Maya has been stealing most of my time, which gets me less time to talk with our guests. Rin, you have just been sitting there on the opposite side of the room and talking to the twins as they are working. Their guests have gone down, and to be honest, most of them hate your guts."

I was about to say something but was cut off again, "And not to mention that there have been guys peering in the music room windows to try and check you girls out. So, the rest of the club and I have agreed that to bring out profits up back to normal, or above that, we are forced to resort to making you both the first female hosts."

Maya raised her eyebrows and looked baffled, "Haruhi's a girl!"

"But she doesn't act like it. You two, on the other hand, will. Now quick, go into the rest rooms over there and change quickly while the rest of us do so." Kyoya had everyone reveal black and white butler costumes which matched the white and black maid costumes they wanted us to wear.

"B-But…. I don't want to wear that!" I protested, pointing at the cosplay outfit.

"I think it would look cute, Rin-chan!" Honey said sweetly, "And you two May-chan!"

"It was Renge's idea!" The twins said in unison, laughing at our faces.

My face went blank and I face palmed. Renge was the Host Club's Manager who was currently on a trip back in her home country of France.

I groaned and grabbed the outfit out of Kyoya's hand, semi-annoyed at this stupid idea, "Alright. Whatever." I ran over to the park bathrooms.

I ran into a stall and quickly changed, lacing up the back all by myself. After I was finished, I stepped out and groaned. I looked like I had stepped out of Tokyo Mew-Mew…

You had to be kidding me.

Hey Ya'll! Here's the next chapter. Sorry if it;s a little boring, I'm kinda having writers block. :/

Alright. So, here's the deal. I want to have some more comments on this story... So I'm gunna need 3 more comments (At least!) Until I post the next chapter. Also... I kinda want to try something random to see if anyone reads my 'Author's Notes'.

Go ahead and hit me with a question! I'd love to hear what you'd like to know about me. I'll include the answers in my next chapter. They can be any sort of question... they could be crazy questions like, "Hey! Have you ever ridden a giraffe across Alabama on a Tuesday in July?"

The answer would be no, by the way.

So... Comment. 3 Comments = Chapter out. Commment = Question. Kapeesh? Alright. Well, happy weekend to you all! I love you guys.
