We walked through the halls of the Academy. We had been walking for what seemed like hours. It was quiet, except for the slight chatter from the students in their classrooms. We headed to my uncle's office, where he pulled out a chair for me to sit in. Then he walked over to the other side of his desk, where he took a seat of his own. My bodyguard waited out the front of my uncle's office, as he was instructed.
"So Raven, when do you think you want to start?"
"Um, I don't know. I would like to look around more. Do you have any clubs that might interest me?"
"We might do actually. Here at Ouran Academy, we are we very well known for our students and the clubs they attend. Here follow me" My uncle got out of his seat, and walked out the door. I did as I was told, and followed him.
"Raven, what sort of things do you like doing?"
"Erm, I don't really know. I like doing a lot of stuff really"
"Okay, well, I'll just show you everything then" He said, with an incredibly irritating grin spread across his face. "Um, okay then?" I said, yet again, still uncertain if I actually wanted to be here.
We walked into the art classrooms and looked around. My uncle watched as I stared at the pieces former students had created, and laughed when I started to interrogate the music teachers about their students, and the piano pieces they taught them. My uncle seemed to be enjoying himself, as he watched me include myself in discussion with other students. Something he hadn't seen before as I had been more withdrawn than usual after the incident.
We got up and left the second music room they had. We walked past another door in the hallway. I stopped outside thinking that we were going to go inside, but my uncle continued down the hall. "Um, uncle?"
"Yes Raven?" he sopped and turned to face me. I pointed towards the door, "What about in here? The sign says it's another music room?"
"Ah yes. But it's not used as another music room. You wouldn.t be interested in what's in here"
"Oh okay" I responded. I didn't know quite how to feel about my uncle's response, but I didn't argue. Just as I was about to walk away, a small group of girls pushed past me so rudely, and I fell backwards, into the door, creating a loud thud against the door. The girls didn't bother to stop and see if I was okay, they carried on walking, and as soon as they came, they were gone.
I sat up, and rubbed the back of my head. Damn, those girls were rude. That's one thing that put me off about this school, I heard the girls here were all really bitchy. I guess I could only believe it if I saw it. My uncle had already disappeared out of sight. I guessed he thought I was still following him or something. I was too wrapped up on checking myself for a concussion and things that I didn't notice one of the doors that I had fallen into had opened.
"Yes?" A voice from behind me asked. I swivelled around as best I could whilst still being seated on the floor. A boy was poking his head out from behind the door. He looked down and saw me on the floor. "What're you doing down there?"
"Oh, uh, some girls pushed me, and I fell into the door. Sorry" This boy opened the door wider and walked out from behind it. He held his hand out to me, and I gladly took it. He helped pull me to my feet. He was shorter than he looks from the floor. "Oh, that's mean. Are you okay?"
"Uh, yeah. I just hit my head, that's all"
"Oh good. So, what's your name?"
"Oh, I'm Raven. Raven Utsukushi-sa"
"Utsukushi-sa? Oh! Are you related to the head? Funny, I didn't think he had any children"
"Uh no, I'm not his daughter, he's my uncle"
"Uncle? Oh!" He started, "Oh, Oh I'm so sorry about your family" He said, the tone of the conversation suddenly got dark, along with the hall. "It's okay. I guess it couldn't be helped" I tried to force a smile, but I guess he saw through it. I wanted the subject changed, and fast, "Oh, I never caught your name?" I asked. "My name? Uh, my name is Haruhi Fujioka! Pleasure to meet you"
"I assure you, the pleasure is all mine. My Uncle has told me a little about you. You got in by scholarship didn't you?"
"Uh, yeah?"
"Congratulations! You're an asset to this school, I promise" I gave another smile. But I think he knew that I wasn't happy right now. I think the subject change gave it away. I wanted to be nice to Haruhi as, he was the only person from this school I had spoken to, that hadn't been rude to me.
"So, Raven, are you thinking of starting here?"
"Uh, yeah. I'm here to look around today, and look at the cubs I could take part of. So far, I have art and music down" It was nice to talk to Haruhi. He seemed to genuinely understand me, which was nice for a change. "Hey! Haruhi! Where are you! We want you to try this on!" heard a voice from inside the room yell. Haruhi straightened, and had an expression of desperation across his face. "Raven, please, I beg you, hide me" I let Haruhi hide behind me as a boy with light ginger hair came to the door. He held a pink dress in his hand, "Oh, uh, hi?" He said.
"Hi?" I replied, unsure on what was happening. "You haven't seen someone about this high, brown hair and brown eyes come out here have you?" He asked, holding his hand just under his shoulder, indicating the height of the 'missing' Haruhi. I didn't know if I liked him very much. He didn't talk to me very nicely, but he wasn't exactly rude either.
"Uh-" I started just as Haruhi crawled out from behind me. "I'm here" he explained, looking defeated. "Hey Haruhi, who's your new friend?"
"Oh, this is Raven. Raven Utsukushi-sa. Her uncle is the head of Ouran"
"Oh" He started, "Nice to meet you" Somehow, I felt like I had offended him with nothing but my presence. "Yeah" Haruhi replied. "You should come introduce her to the guys" The mystery boy said. Haruhi didn't look happy with that idea, but agreed anyway. The boy disappeared back behind the door, the pink gown still in his hand. Before we went into the room, Haruhi turned to face me and said, "I'm going to warn you now, you're about to meet a bunch of guys, who're completely crazy. Also, it might be a good idea to watch where you step. If you break anything, they will rope you into working for them to pay off the debt. That's what they did to me" I couldn't help but giggle at Haruhi. Which was nice, because me smiling, made him smile.
I followed Haruhi into the third music room, and was greeted by a faceful of petals, and roses. "What the fu-" I started, before being interrupted by a blonde boy, kneeling before me, with my hand in his, and his lips gently pressed against the back of my hand. He pulled away just to say, "Greetings, my beautiful princess" I slowly pulled my hand away and wiped it on my skirt. I saw a smile creep across Haruhi's face. I turned and asked, "Is this what you meant?" He didn't answer, he just nodded.
The blonde boy stood up and said, "let us introduce ourselves. I, my dear, am the king of this club, my name is Tamaki" He bowed before going to sit in a chair in the middle of the group of boys that I had been greeted by. A boy with hair as black as coal stepped forward and stuck his hand out, indicating a handshake. I shook it just as he said, "I am Kyoya. I technically run this establishments funds" This guy seemed really blunt, and acted as if he didn't actually want be here.
Next a tall boy, with a smaller blonde boy on his shoulders, stepped forward, "I'm Honey!" the blonde boy stated, before pointing to the taller boy that he was sat on and said, "And this is my cousin Mori!" Mori nodded at me. I got the feeling that he didn't really talk much. "Nice to meet you both" I replied, as nicely as I could, because the blonde boy looked like he might cry if I didn't.
Next, the boy from earlier stood forward, but there was someone exactly like him, holding is arm like they were a couple. Twins. Identical twins. I had never seen twins before, I didn't socialise much, so I was pretty stunned. One of the twins bent down and kissed my hand, a bit like Tamaki did (just not as creepily) and said, "I am Hikaru. We met in the corridor earlier"
'Well, at least I knew which one I met first' I thought to myself. Hikaru continued, "And this is my brother, Kaoru" He said, moving out the way for his twin to kiss my hand also. Unlike Hikaru, Kaoru made eye contact with me, which admittedly, gave me butterflies. Although he looked exactly like his brother, he seemed way more attractive.
Kaoru stood up straight and went and stood back with his brother and the others. "And you've already met Haruhi" Kyoya stated bluntly.
"It's nice to meet you all" I said, I looked at them all. Making eye contact with everyone of them, then I hit Kaoru. We made eye contact yet again, and I suddenly felt very warm. I had never experienced this before. What was it? Either way, I felt ill. I just couldn't decide if it was in a good way.
Suddenly there was a large crash at the door, and my uncle burst into the room, screaming my name, "Raven! There you are!" He shouted. "I was worried! If you're parents knew I had lost you-!" He stopped himself. He realised what he had just said, and the look on his face suddenly showed that he regretted it straight away. "Raven, I'm so-"
"Don't" I stopped him. I faced the floor and let my hair cover my face. I started to cry. The sudden realisation about how much I missed my family hit me. And it hit me hard. I remembered my dream, which just made it all worse. "Don't say you're sorry. Not again. I'm sick of it. Especially when you don't mean it!" I was angry now. My sadness turned into rage. I felt really warm. I felt like I was going to explode. I looked up to face my uncle. He could see I was angry. I was so angry that I was crying. I was shaking. Every bit of my felt like it was on fire.
I pushed past my uncle, and walked out the room. I raced down the hall, and into the gardens. I didn't know where I was going. My only instinct was run. Run fast, run far. And don't look back.
Hey guys, here is the second chapter, let me know what you think, like if I should carry on at all..
