~ Next Morning~

- Wishing on a shooting star. But dreams alone won't get you far. Can't deny your feelings anymore. The World is waiting outside your door. What are you waiting for? -

As my alarm on the nightstand blasts throughout my room, I shot my hand out of my nice warm cocoon of blankets * It's way too early…ugh* popping my head out as a yawn escaped my mouth. "Well, today is my official first day…this is going to be so much fun trying to find my classes" fighting out of the cocoon, I fell out of my bed, "Owww," groaning on the floor.

Bella came running into my room and started to lick the side of my face. "Thanks…" pushing myself up, I did a little stretch toward the ceiling. I shuffled over to pick out my clothes then moved to the bathroom to prepare for the day. Once put together, I ran down the stairs to trip the last step tumbling down to the floor. Ludwig totted over to my fallen form, sniffing me. "I'm alright, boy" sitting up, I patted his head.

Getting up from the hardwood floor, I headed into the kitchen. Making a beeline to the cabinet and grabbing a bag of pop tarts, throwing them in the toaster, I moved to fill the animal's bowls for the day. Bella and Ludwig ran happily to their dishes as Starlight sat on the dining chair watching. The toaster popped, signaling breakfast was ready. Going to grab them, I burnt my fingers. "Why!" as I retracted my hands before trying again and taking a bit out of one.

Moving around, gather items for my lunch *Chips, cookies, water, sweet tea, sandwich…* placing them into the lunch bag. "I'll get something at the cafeteria if I need to" closing the bag, I looked at my watch. "Oh, I need to leave like now!" grabbing the bag and shoving my breakfast in my mouth, I rushed over to grab my bag. Stumbling towards the door, "Bye" as I exited the home and took off down the street.

~With the Host Club~

Everyone in the Host Club stood or sat around waiting for Tamaki to reveal one of his' plans'. "Men…and Haruhi, as you know, we have a new student, Rose Night. She knows about my beloved daughter's secret. So we shall invite her to the club after school today as we decided on it yesterday," Tamaki excitedly reminded everyone.

Haruhi kept a straight face *I didn't agree to this…of course. I just yelled at her yesterday too. They don't understand why she knows the truth and won't be swayed* watching Tamaki continue to act like an idiot.

Tamaki pulled out seven different colored envelopes. "That means each of us will be carrying one of these," handing each of the Hosts 'assigned' color rose with a wax seal to its owner. "Whoever runs into her will need to give her this envelope! Also, remember that we must keep Haruhi's gender a secret!" which Hunny, Hikaru, and Kaoru all responded with "Yes!" simultaneously.

~ With Rose~

Looking around the empty courtyard. "Uh…either I am way early, late, or everyone slept in until the last minute. With the knowledge that there are people waiting on them hand and foot to get them here…. I'll go with the last one," walking up the step of the building that held my first class of the day.

Coming up to the door, I caught something from the corner of my eye *Hmm…a hedge maze strange. I'm going to check that out on break* smiling at the idea, I continued inside. "Alright, let's see if I can find my way today..." noticing a few students in the hall staring at me while they whispered. Ignoring the idle chatter along with the stares, I kept moving hopefully in the right direction.

After wandering about ten minutes *Okay, sooo I got a bit lost, but I have found my class. I seem to be early* cheering in my head as I pushed open the door to see a middle-aged man at a desk. He lifted his head at the combined noise of the door and footsteps. "Ah, you must be Miss. Night correct. I am Mr. Smith" the man held a serious face. "Yes, it's nice to meet you" I switched from leaning on one foot to another as Mr. Smith gave me a nod as he grabbed a book off his desk and handed it to me.

Taking it, I noticed that there were papers stuffed in between the pages. Before I could inquire, Mr. Smith beat me to the point, "Those papers are notes and work from what we have gone over so far. It should help you be on the same page as the rest of your classmates. I will need this by Friday at the latest, and yes, I know it is Tuesday, but I believe this won't be a problem" he gave me a knowing look before continuing.

"In this class, we have a seating chart; your seat is at the middle table on the right side. You can begin your work if you like but do not work on it once class starts. When I speak, you shall take notes, and once I am finished, then if you choose to, you can work on any of your classwork…understood" Mr. Smith stared me down, waiting for a response.

I gave a short nod "Yes, Mr. Smith" before scrambling to my table to sit down. Once comfortable, I opened my new math book where the first chunk of papers waited for me *Lovely first class of the day…scary teacher + worst subject = Hell. Hope whoever I end up next to is nice and is willing to help* as I begin to work on the mountain of math work.

~Unknown~

After this morning's meeting, I decided to head straight to my class, seeing that it would begin by the time I arrived. Walking down the halls, I noticed a group of girls on the way crowding around one another while staring at me. I gave them my charming smile as they saw that I had caught their 'Loving' stares and began to blush.

Coming to the classroom door, I could hear on the other side Mr. Smith talking to another student to scare them with his empty threats. Waiting a few moments until the voices seize, I push the door open and head straight in. Entering, I went to my seat to see someone sitting in the usually empty chair next to me.

Looking closer, I notice that the person sitting in there was indeed Rose Night. Rose seemed to be very focused on her work as she scribbled on paper while flipping through pages of the book. Pulling out the envelope, "Excuse me, Miss…" ready to hand it to her as more students flooded into the classroom.
