~With Rose~
~Next Day~
Walking through the academy gates into the courtyard, I hummed a tune from the radio earlier this morning. With a hop in my step, I was oblivious to m surroundings as I roamed through the school grounds *It's Friday! I hope there is no homework this weekend* frowning at the thought of math problems all weekend long.
"Rose!" boomed from behind me, followed by "Wait up!" looking at the noise, I see two orange-haired boys running to catch up with me. Slowing my pace, they reach me in a matter of seconds. "Kaoru, Hikaru! Hey guys," I grinned at them as they took a side of me as we headed off into the school building.
Hikaru began from my right, "So Rose, we were wondering if…" then Kaoru finished "After school, can you come to the club room?" as they looked at me. "Wait, I thought no clubs were going on today…." looking confused at the twins as we walked down long identical hallways.
"Yes, the club is officially closed today, but milord wants to talk with you," Hikaru bluntly responded as we came to the end of the hallway that splits off. Thinking about the request, I moved to the right hall without hesitation. Turning back with a smile, "Sure, but I can't stay long. I have somewhere to be after school today," waving them off as I dragged my feet off to math.
~With Kaoru~
As Hikaru and I walked through the gates of the school grounds from the corner of my eye, I watched girls swoon over us as we walked right by them. My brother and I gave them our host smiles every time we came upon a group of them. With each girl group reacting similarly *Can they even tell us apart…see how we are two different people…*
Looking ahead, I noticed a figure that seemed as if they were skipping into the school's main building entrance. I nudged Hikaru to catch his attention, then nodded to the body in front. Hikaru was annoyed based on his facial expression but became intrigued by what I located. Quickening our pace to see that the figure transformed into someone we knew well.
"Rose!" my voice boomed without a second thought. I felt a bit stupid, shouting her name when "Wait up!" Hikaru's voice boomed next to me, then together, we ran to catch her. Rose looked over her shoulder to see us running at her, causing her place to slow enough for us to reach her quickly.
Her face lit up at us, "Kaoru, Hikaru! Hey guys!" greeting us separately as we moved to the sides of her and began walking off into the building.

~Skip To Lunch~
Dancing down the hall *I have no math work, I have no math work!* I gained strange stares from my fellow students who walked past me. I came up to the classroom door and opened it slowly but hit something in the process. My eyes widen *Oh, come on…* rushing into seeing Tamaki sprawled out on the ground muttering something about cute little birdies or something along the lines of that.
"Sorry about that, Blondie.." I apologized quickly, walking over to his knocked-out body, sensing someone staring at me. "So ready for lunch?" I smiled indirectly, turning to meet my favorite person. Haruhi looked away from Tamaki's semi-conscious body on the floor "Yeah…Where have you been eating? On my first day, I couldn't find a single quiet place" she stared at me.
"Oh, that was actually easy, just go outside because apparently very few students here like the outdoors…or that they are vampires, seeing as they all huddle into the buildings. One of the two…I'm going with the later one," teasingly, smiling at her while giving a nonchalant shrug as we moved our way out of the room.
Haruhi rolled her eyes as we traveled down the many halls until coming to the main door. "So in reality…you got lost wandered around until you found it," Haruhi responded bluntly. Gripping the door handle, I turned to Haruhi with a pout "No…" as I proceeded to open the door.
Haruhi gave a nudge "Uh-huh…sure whatever you say, Rose," as we descended the stairs to my favorite tree with smiles on our faces. Making a beeline to my spot, we talked about everything that had happened to us so far in our first three classes. Reaching the base of the big tall oak tree that I have dubbed my safe-haven in this chaos of a school.
I plopped down at the trunk and began to pull out my snacks, glancing at the cloud-filled sky sighing happily. Looking to Haruhi, I notice her pulling out her homemade lunch, smiling at the memories of the two of us in the kitchen trying to 'help out. Smirking a little *Well, back then, she was always more helpful than me. I just kept being a klutz and burning all my fingertips truthfully* chuckling at the incidences that occurred.
Haruhi rose a brow at my behavior. "Alright, what's so funny, Rose?" as I grin at her like a crazy lady. "Oh, I just remembered when we were small and always wanted to help in the kitchen. Along with how much of a mega klutz I was back then!" happily explained.
Haruhi laughed, "Oh yeah! I remember how you were always covered in band-aids from head to toe because of you tripping over the air" at the memories too. Crossing my arms with a pout, "Not my fault that those air bubbles were there when I was walking. They had it out for me!" mumbling as silence took over. Haruhi and I caught one another's gaze as we busted out into giggles.
~Skip to Club Time~
Walking out of creative writing, I waved goodbye to Renge as I headed off to the Music Room *Lunch was actually a lot of fun today…it felt like I had never left for America nor had a falling out. It was like when we were kids…nothing to worry about, just laughing and joking about* smiling as I walked along the halls to meet up with the Host Club members.
"Hmm…wonder why Blondie made Kaoru and Hikaru ask me to the club today. Especially since it is closed today" descending the stairs to the desired level. My foot hit the last step when a blue blur rammed into my stomach at such a force, causing me to tall back only to be steadied by a firm hand.
Coming to my senses, I realized Hunny was latched onto my waist, beaming up at me while Takashi's hand laid on my back, keeping me from going down. "Uh, hi guys?" then nodding up, "Thanks, Takashi" with a dazed voice, Takashi returned the gesture as Hunny leaps out of my arms only to grab my hand into his.
"Hi, Rose! Takashi and I were on our way to the club too, come on," Hunny cheerfully dragged me along. Takashi followed behind us at his own pace as we headed to the music room. Coming to the door, I stopped as Hunny dropped my hand and rushed through into the music room with Takashi trailing after him.
Rubbing my face *What have I gotten myself into* as I moved to push the doors open, I was met with complete darkness.
