Chapter 4- The First Week:Third Person:
Mia ran to the dance recital room and looked at the sensei sheepishly,
"Sorry, I got lost."
First day and I'm late- great. The sensei looked at her stiffly,
"Do not make it a habit, here," she handed her a leotard, tights, and slip-ones, "put these on and come back when you are changed. They should fit."
"Yes sensei," she bowed and headed to the changing rooms.
After changing her jeans and t-shirt (the same one she wore yesterday because she had no other clothes) for the black leotard, white tights, and black slip-ons, she headed into the studio. The slip-ons were comfortable, she had to admit. They weren't the same as ballet slippers but close.
"Listen up," Sensei said as she clapped her hands, "this is the new student, Amity Mia and I expect all of you to show her nothing but professionalism and politeness. Do you understand."
There was a chorus of 'yes Sensei' and then Mia took her place in the line-up. She looked around briefly and counting herself in, there was an even amount of people in the class- ten girls, ten boys.
"Katsu-kun," she whispered confused and Katsu turned around shocked.
He was right beside her,
"Don't tell anyone," he whispered quietly, "no one knows I'm here- not even Nekozawa. Please don't tell."
"You're secret's safe with me," Mia said cheerfully, "But…why? I mean…you're in the Black Magic Club," she pointed out.
"Yeah," he whispered, "but…no one here knows that. No one at school besides a few in the club and you actually know what I look like because I usually have the hood all the way up."
"So no one here knows you're into the black arts," she theorized, ohh big word, Sophia would be proud. Katsu nodded,
"Right," he whispered, "And no one in black arts know I'm here."
"But they know you're name," Mia questioned, "So…how does that work?"
"They think my name is Kato," he said sheepishly, "I asked Sensei to not tell anyone."
"Ohh," Mia said, "okie dokie! Don't worry, your secret is safe," she made the motion of zipping her lips and Katsu smiled thankfully.
The girls in the class looked at them disgusted,
"Eww Kato got a girlfriend. I feel so sorry for her."
Katsu deflated a bit and Mia looked at him sadly,
"Don't listen to them, m'kay?"
Katsu nodded slightly- and for once, he took the advice to not listen to the bullies. Though, the bullies seemed to be the whole dancing class except for Mia.

Sophia glided gracefully between tables.
"Good job, Sophia," the owner/cashier said from the counter, "Keep it up!"
Sophia nodded and kept a blank face. She told her real name because it would be easier with school. It was mostly because she was concerned that if someone from school showed up, she could truthfully tell them that they had the wrong person. It was for that reason that she wore her hair in ponytail (that she found laying on the floor) and she took off the headband that came with the uniform when the owner had giver her a cap so she didn't look so 'uptight.' She tucked her hair under the cap as to disguise her easily identifiable locks. She didn't mind being called 'uptight' because she was called it many times by Mia and at least, he gave her a cap that made disguising herself easier.
"I'm Sophia, I'll be your waitress, what may I get you?"
She smiled slightly as she was instructed to do by Mr. Hansen (the owner). She wrote down the order on the notepad and put the pencil back behind her left ear.

Mia gulped- first day of being a hostess and of course, there's a uniform. Honestly, she didn't mind the uniform, she minded that she had to wear it with apparent perverts. It didn't help that she was labeled as the 'angelic' type by Renge- who had also stated that Mia was 'angelic, but is hiding a dark past and a mean streak.' Oh that hurts Mia thought sourly, even if it's sort of true.
She looked at the uniform, oh my god I hope Sophia and I don't have to wear this at work. It was a white uniform that was a bit too short for her tastes. Ah well, at least it's a bit cute.
When she came out, she was tackled by Tamaki,
"Oh my daughter is just so adorable!"
"Tamaki," Mia said overly sweet, "What did I say about touching me?"
Tamaki cowered,
"To…stop."
"Right," Mia smiled, and then scowled, "So get off of me!"

Mia poked Nekozawa's head,
"Your hair is green."
"I've noticed," Nekozawa said dryly. Nori looked over curiously as Mia continued,
"Why?"
"Why," Mia whined when he didn't answer.
"It's because of his fear of the light," Nori answered softly and Mia nodded,
"Ohhh I get it. Besides the light, he hates bright colors so if his hair is a bright color like blonde than he dyes it."
Nekozawa nodded,
"That is correct."
"Then my hair must bug the crap out of you."
"That is also correct."

Sophia balanced the many plates on her arms and hands.
"You sure you're okay Sophia," the owner called out.
"I'm fine," she answered briskly, "I can handle it."
Sure enough, she could handle it. She had the plates balanced perfectly as she skated around the café. That was one of the things that made that café unique. Still, roller skating was a talent- well, a natural gift that she possessed. I just hope my sister is just as good. A memory from when they were ten came to mind and Sophia winced, that poor twin of mine is a talented dancer but that girl is hopeless on ice skates…I pray she's better at roller skating.
Sophia was a bit disappointed that she had to work a bit later than usual- but hopefully Mia would be alright. As she worked, time seemed to fly by. She looked up at the clock with a heavy sigh, Mia would be out of that stupid club by now….least I only have one table left.
Takashi and Hunny looked up as their waitress came up. Their eyes widened,
"Mia-chan," Hunny cried, "I knew you had to leave the host club but we didn't know you worked here!"
He hugged Sophia tightly. Takashi noticed that she looked confused. Sophia patted the small blonde's head, must be someone from Ouran- not one from that host club I hope. He's so young…and what's with the chan? Mia said she didn't make 'friends.' Knowing my sister though, she might not realize their friends.
"Don't worry," Hunny giggled, "We won't tell Kyoya since it is against school rules to work a job. But we'll keep it secret, won't we Takashi?"
Takashi nodded,
"Hmm."
Sophia sighed,
"Thank you, I suppose."
Hunny looked at her concerned,
"Mia-chan? Are you okay?"
"I'm alright," Sophia nodded with a slight smile, "Promise."
Takashi didn't seem that convinced. Something told him that the girl in front of him wasn't Mia. Something was different. He just wasn't sure what- the girl has to be Mia, it is not like Mia has a twin after all.
