Rivalry

"I've had a really bad day and it always makes me feel better to see the most beautiful girl smile. So, would you smile for me please my princess?" Tamaki said in his sweet voice, placing his one hand on the black haired girl's chin, before tilting it to the side and bringing her closer to him.

"Oh, Tamaki." The girl said blushing bright red as she smiled just as Tamaki had requested.

"Tamaki, there's a new guest; she's hiding outside the door." Kyoya said emotionless as always as he directed his glance over to Tamaki, then back to the girl behind the door. She gasped lightly before blushing bright red and hiding her face from view.

"I shall lure her in." Tamaki said softly, letting go of the young girl's chin. He flicked his fringe back with his hand before walking over to the door.

"Hello, my princess." He smiled moving his hand out for her to take. Thistle bought her face into the light so her features could be seen properly.

"Tamaki-Suoh." She questioned as she stared straight into his gentle, serene amethyst eyes.

"That is me my princess." He said waiting for her to take his hand.

"You don't seem to remember me." Thistle sighed as she walked straight past him and into the bright music room.

"Refresh my memory then." He said, smiling as he followed her into the room.

"I used to be in your elementary and middle-school class." She sighed gently before looking around the room to each table and its occupants. "I best go now anyway." She sighed yet again before walking back into the dimly lit corridor.

"I'm surprised you didn't remember her." Kyoya started, as he pushed his wire glasses further up his nose. "That was Thistle Akiyama; her father was a very accomplished actor and director and her mother and sister passed away. She must have transferred here from Lobelia girls' academy. Rumour has it that she will also be in our class this year." Kyoya continued as he directed his speech to Tamaki.

"I remember now. She kept to herself didn't she?" Tamaki said solemnly as he looked over to Kyoya.

"Yes, she was the girl you had a crush on in middle school." Kyoya said, smirking slightly as she did.

"I did not." Tamaki ranted as the two twins walked over to him, looking humoured by his expression.

"Tamaki had a crush on that girl?" The asked in unison, taunting Tamaki purposefully.

"No. I didn't. Kyoya lies. Lies and Deceit." Tamaki cried as he rushed off to the back of the room.

"Your not lying are you?" The twins asked curiously, tilting their heads to the side.

"I don't lie. I thought you would have known that now." Kyoya replied laughing slightly as the twins rushed back to their guests.

Haruhi rushed through the corridor, late for the host club, she ran past the girl with flowing red hair who was muttering things under her breath.

"I screwed it up. So much for finally getting to know Tamaki." Thistle sighed as she walked past the girl with short brown hair. Haruhi stopped in her stride, staring at the red-haired girl who walked past. Thistle didn't understand that the one thing she muttered had sprung a rivalry between her and Haruhi Fujioka.
