Yes, another chapter in less than an hour, woo! Don't get used to it XD I update when I want to so efforts in rushing me are futile. Oh yes I don't do the change of point of views thing. Want to find out how the characters feel about the OC? Read slowly, the story ain't going anywhere, take your time.
I'll post chapter three as well so you can have the prologue and the first episode of the anime.
Enjoy!
Haruhi, Starting Today You're a Host! Part 1
It's been a year since I met most of the host club and became their treasurer. Having that position relieves some pressure from Kyoya. Since I wasn't a host, I wasn't needed to get the uniform, but I would get dressed up whenever we did an event. The beginning of this school year I met the Hitachiin twins, Hikaru and Kaoru. Tamaki told me the tale of how he got them to join the host club. I already knew it, but I listened anyway because his flair for dramatics made it far more entertaining and I wanted to know his side of the story.
Over the summer Haruhi told me that she took the exam to get into Ouran and passed it earning her a scholarship. I congratulated her; the exam is honestly a bitch to take unless you studied like your life depended on it. I helped her with the paperwork at the request of her dad since he has been rather busy from the last 10 years trying to support himself and Haruhi.
In the host club I have my own desk that changes depending on the theme of the day but most of the time it's just a redwood desk with two drawers on each side and a desk lamp in the corner. There I take orders from the guests who want host club merchandise such as host club member picture booklets (all of them together or individual), when I'm not taking orders I'm checking inventory for the next day or preparing for a grand event that Tamaki wants to do such as parties in the ballroom of the school. I work with Kyoya when it comes to those big events.
I've seen many things, I've seen girls go crazy, faint, you name it, I've seen it. I saw that girl who will bully Haruhi for a short while come in and become a regular (I forgot her name and honestly, I haven't bothered to remember it). The moment I saw her walk in I stopped putting my bag in the lockers instead I cleared one of my drawers and place it there locking it. I have important host club paperwork in there and I don't want that brat ruining them.
Kyoya and I have mutual respect towards each other. While I already respected him, I earned his through my work. Tamaki treats me as his child and much to Kyoya's dismay I humor him by playing along. Mori-senpai has taken a liking to place me on his shoulders whenever Honey-senpai is not around, I think it's because I'm around his height. Now, Honey-senpai. Oh god, Honey-senpai. He's so cute that sometimes I forget he could kill the whole country by himself. That boy brings me cake whenever I'm working and when I'm not, we eat cake together, and he has taken naps on my lap with the excuse that I look comfortable.
It's been a week since my second year officially started, and things have been going well. Tamaki was static when he realized that Kyoya and I were in the same class again. I still don't have the school uniform but Kyoya was kind enough to give me the school's blazer. For my birthday Tamaki gave me a cell phone with everyone's numbers already on it (his was on speed dial too). Anyways since the first day, Haruhi has been coming with me on my bike in the mornings then in the afternoons she goes home walking since I have club activities.
Today after classes ended, I go to the host club room to help set up for today.
"Oh, Nami-senpai!" The twins instantly run up to me the moment I walk in, "We got your costume for the next theme."
"Wanna see?" By the voice, I believe it was Kaoru who asked.
"Oh sure," I smile.
Hikaru out of nowhere pulls out a sketch pad, "We made it so you match with Honey-senpai."
Yeah, these two figured out my huge crush on the smaller host quickly and they take any chance they get to tease me about it. I blush.
"Geez thanks for putting my feelings on display," I deadpan at him then look at the sketch, "Oh wow, I like it."
"Yes!" they high five each other.
"We'll do your hair and make-up," Hikaru decides.
I chuckle, "Alright."
Tamaki walks in and gasps, "What are you two shady twins doing to my precious daughter?!"
"Oh, they were showing me my costume for our next theme," I turn to him, "Calm down."
Mori-senpai and Honey-senpai walk in. The latter runs to me.
"What cakes are in today?" he asks, bouncing up and down.
"Today there's strawberry, lemon, chocolate and," I look at my inventory list, "Red velvet."
He gasps cutely, "You remembered my request!"
"Of course, I did," I giggle.
He hugs me like a koala, "Thank you Nami-chan!"
I can feel my face go completely red, "Y…you're welcome."
He lets me go and skips away with Mori-senpai. I try to calm my rapidly beating heart and I see the twins snickering in the background.
"Not a word you two," I hiss at them, but all it does is make them laugh.
Kyoya walks in, "Alright places everyone!"
The boys get in their places ready for the doors to open. I go sit at my desk. I hear the doors open, them saying welcome then there's a pause. I look up, my eyes widen when I see Haruhi.
"And so it begins."
I watch the scene unfold with a smile. All but Kyoya assume she's a guy, she tries to leave but gets pulled back Honey-senpai, Tamaki names off the types the club offers, blah blah blah, we all know this.
"–our treasurer's favorites, the strong silent type and boy lolita," I hear him say.
I feel the urge to throw my shoe at his head.
"Dammit, Tamaki!"
He corners her into a vase display, which she knocks over, she tries to catch the vase, but it shatters anyway. I sigh, getting up as the twins accuse her and telling her that we were supposed to auction that vase.
"Boys calm down, we can send something else for the auction," I walk to them with a clipboard in hand, "although now Haru has a debt."
"Nami! This is the club you joined?" She exclaims, surprised.
I never told her what club I joined because that would be spoilers.
"Yep, " I smile at her.
"Nami, you know him?" Tamaki asks.
"Yeah, we're neighbors," I turn to him, "What do you suppose we should do about Haruhi?"
Tamaki decides that Haruhi shall be the club's dog until she can pay her debt. She pales.
"Oh, we broke her."
On the following day in the morning, I drop off Haruhi at her classroom.
"Haruhi I need you to get the club some coffee," I say, fixing her hair a little.
"Seriously?" she asks, shocked.
"Yes, there was supposed to be a delivery today, but it got delayed until tomorrow," I sigh, "And there's not enough coffee to last us until the end of club time."
She sighs irritably, "Alright."
"Thank you!" I smile cheerfully, "See you this afternoon." I turn to go to my class, waving goodbye.
During lunch, Tamaki suddenly gets an idea while Kyoya goes to the bathroom.
"I want to have a party!" he says standing up abruptly, "In the ballroom of the school."
"Oh, I can feel the stress coming in…"
"You want to what?" I look up at him.
"To have a party!" he repeats enthusiastically, "And we're inviting all of our guests and we can have a contest!"
"You do realize with just your regulars alone now we can fill up the ballroom," I eat my lunch, "We're gonna need a bigger room if we want to fit all the guests from all the members."
"Hmm, you're right," he sits back down with his hand on his chin, thinking.
Kyoya comes back, "We could rent the grand hall."
My eyes widen, "The grand hall is big enough to fit his regulars and the rest of the ladies!" I look at Kyoya with sparkling eyes, "You're a genius Kyoya!"
"Yes, we can have a buffet table with all kinds of exquisite foods," Tamaki adds, "Alright it's decided we shall have this party in a month right when the cherry blossoms are blooming!"
I feel my soul leave my body.
"Just a month to prepare and it's gonna cost us a lot, oh god the club's budget is going to be almost empty!"
Tamaki goes off to his little world. Kyoya places a hand on my shoulder, making my soul zip back into my body.
"I assume you already calculated the expenses, going by your expression," he says.
"Yes, and we might be a little tight on money afterwards…" I pause holding my chin, "Unless…" I notice him staring at me with a smile, "What?"
He chuckles and shakes his head. I finish eating my lunch while coming up with ways we can save money and still throw that extravagant party.
Don't be afraid to leave a review I don't bite unless ya are into that ;)
