I don't own anything except my OCs. I'm sorry I didn't update in awhile.
Chapter 7
Claire's P.O.V
'Damn it. Math sucks.' I glared at the paper of assigned math homework. Why couldn't it have been literature or music? Those are my best subjects. Not math. Math sucks and it gives me a headache.
I glanced up at Haruhi across from me and noticed she was already done with her homework. It's obvious she got here on an academic scholarship. I looked at C.J to the left of me. She wasn't even doing here homework. She was reading another book that has nothing to do with school. 'The Demigod Diaries.' I stared at her with a blank face. She must felt my staring because she glanced up from her book. I gave her a 'really' look. She just smiled and went back to reading. I just rolled my eyes and went back to my math homework.
"Damn" I heard Haruhi say.
"What's wrong?" C.J and I asked in unison.
She stood up and started packing her bag. "We're late for the host club!"
I swore under my breath and scrambled to pack up my things as C.J did the same. When were all packed up we bolted out of library and raced down the halls. It was kinda hard for me to run since I was wearing heels. Unlike C.J who was running like she was in sneakers. We were both wearing a red Sleeping With Sirens t-shirt, black ripped skinny jeans, ankle boots with three inch heels with buckles, and broken heart rings.
We ran down the hall and skidded to a stop in front of music room three. We stopped for a second to catch our breaths. When we were breathing properly again, C.J opened the door for us and we entered the room. I looked around the room and thought we stepped outside. There were trees, animals, flowers. 'Where are we, in Bali?' And in the middle of the room stood the people behind it. And that's not all, there shirtless. C.J and I shared a deadpan look. 'The fangirls are gonna have a field day.'
"What is this?" Haruhi asked looking out the room. "Where am I?"
"Welcome." They said. I guess they do this whenever a guest arrives.
Haruhi looked annoyed just like C.J and I. However we couldn't help but giggle slightly when the Toucan landed on Haruhi's head. I noticed C.J moved to my left side. I gave her a questioning look and she just nodded her head behind me. I looked over and noticed the snake on the tree. I chuckled a bit. She doesn't like snakes. At all. And neither do I so I see where she's coming from.
"You guys finally made it, you're so late." Hikaru and Kaoru mockingly shook there heads at us.
"We lost track of time." C.J and I shrugged our shoulders.
Haruhi ignored us and pulled out a calendar. "I could be wrong but my calendar says it's still early spring."
I looked up when I heard Honey laughing. I smiled when I saw Takashi give him a piggy back ride. Then Tamaki spoke up being as flamboyant as ever. I just shook my head with a small smile. I'm used to his antics by now.
"Huddling under a kotatsu table fearing the cold is nonsense. And besides our heating system is the best."
"Do you have a problem with the way we run our club, Haruhi. Be careful what you say. You do owe us 8 million yen, remember." Kyoya said with a smirk on his face.
I just rolled my eyes unlike Haruhi who went chalk white. But I did a double take as I noticed C.J walk up to him.'What the hell? Does she like him or something?'
Tamaki started ranting again about something or other. "Gentlemen don't bundle up in bulky clothing. It maybe chilly early spring out there in the real world but here at the club we want to surprise our chilly little kittens with a warm tropical paradise.' he threw his arm around Haruhi's shoulder 'Oh yes, we have turned this place into Nirvana, a Bali tropical island of everlasting summer."
'Wow, Tamaki's sparkling again.' That's not unheard of but I have no idea how these guys do it.
"That's funny cause I feel a massive chill right now."she said with a bored look.
I laughed at that. I shook my head as I walked over to the twins.
"So you both are enjoying this, I guess?"
"Yes, and you can join in on the fun Claire." they gave matching smirks as they held up a very revealing dress.
"No way." I deadpanned.
"Oh, c'mon." Hikaru started
"You can even match with you're sister." Kaoru said as they held up a second dress.
"No." I crossed my arms.
They stuck out their tongues at me. "You're no fun."
I smirked. "Don't care there is no way in hell I'm wearing that thing."
They pouted and put the dresses away.
"So why were you late anyway?"
"Math's a bitch."I shrugged my shoulders.
They nodded. I guess they understood my struggle.
"Well,'I clasped my hands together ' I'm gonna set everything up before we open. Later guys." I winked at them with a smirk and started walking towards the kitchen. I didn't notice the blush on one of the twins faces.
I walked into the kitchen and saw C.J polishing off the glasses we're going to use today at the counter. I walked up next to her and picked up a rag and started to polish the glasses too.
I exhaled "So, what's going on with you and Kyoya?" I looked at her out of the corner of my eye.
"What's going on with you and the twins?" she threw back giving me the same look.
It was silent for a few moments then the room was filled with laughs. I don't even know why we're laughing but it feels nice.
A few giggles later, we were settled down but our smiles were still present. "But seriously, is there anything going on between you two?"
"No." she was still smiling as she sat down the cup she polished and went to grab the cart seeing as we were almost done.
"Are you sure?" I sat sown the cup and the rag turned around and leaned against the counter with my arms crossed. I smirked at her. "You're not falling for him are you?"I said jokingly.
She started placing the cups on the tray. She started arranging the items on the tray. She gave me a blank look. "No."
I furrowed my eyebrows at my sudden change in nature. It's like a switch flipped.
"What's wrong? What did I say?" she just glared at me and rolled the cart out of the room. I just stared at the door she left through.
What the hell was that? Does she not like Kyoya? That can't be it she wouldn't even look at him if she hated him.
'Shit.' I just realized what I said. She doesn't trust people easily, especially the opposite sex. I'm gonna apologize later. But right now, I have to get to work. I grabbed a cart and rolled it out of the kitchen.
(Time Skip)
I rolled pass Tamaki's table and heard him flirting with another customer who had hearts in her eyes. I see why he's the most requested the club. Flirting is like his second language.
"We're throwing a party?"Haruhi asked.
C.J walked next to her carrying trays of fruit drinks. "Party?"
I furrowed my eyebrows. "What party?"
"What kind of party is it going to be?" we overheard some of the twins guest question. We turned our heads toward their direction and listened in.
"Is it going to be formal?"
Hikaru answered "Yes, in fact we've rented the schools largest hall."
"It's the perfect place for dancing." Kaoru chimed in.
Then Hikaru pulled Kaoru close and said "But I really wanted to spend some alone time with you, Kaoru."
"Don't be upset Hikaru, I feel the same way."
They did their brotherly love routine as the fangirls went crazy.
"The guest seemed to be more worked up than they usually are." Haruhi observed.
"No kidding." C.J and I agreed.
"Showing some skin shows popular with the ladies."I didn't even notice Kyoya walk up to us.
Haruhi and I turned towards him as he continued writing in his book. He didn't even bother to send us a glance. C.J went to take a seat at the bar behind us and I joined her.
"So, I'm guessing you're the brains behind the operation." C.J said with a raised eyebrow.
He smirked at her and lifted the glasses higher up on his nose. 'There's definitely something there.'
"I have no decision making authority. All of the clubs policies have been laid out by the clubs king, Tamaki. But I guess there's no harm in admitting to casually slipping a Bali photo book onto his desk." he smiled. I can't tell if it's real or not. Nevertheless though she smiled back.
"Tada!" I heard Honey yell. I looked at C.J and noticed her smiling at Honey. She has a soft spot for him, I can tell.
I looked towards him and allowed a small smile to play on my lips.
"Oh you're so cute!" his guest exclaimed.
"Hello ladies. I just love these Balinese flowers. We had them flown in."
At this point Takashi was walking by carrying a pineapple for some reason. Honey noticed him and ran up to him.
"Takashi!" He exclaimed and climbed up onto his shoulders and placed matching flowers around his neck. He then hugged him and said that they matched.
I sighed and stood.
"Where are you going?" C.J asked me looking at me with a furrowed brow.
"Back to work. Which you should be doing to." I gave her a pointed look.
She just rolled her eyes and stood up too. "I will."she said with a fake annoyed sigh.
I was about to walk away when I remembered our conversation in the kitchen. "Hey."
She turned towards me. "Yeah?"
"I'm sorry about what happened in the kitchen."
She shook her head at me."It's fine don't worry about it."
I smiled at her which she returned.
(Sorry for the crappy chapter, my school work really piled up but I still wanted to update my story a bit.)
