Takashi and I help the girl pick up her books. She looks frazzled. "Thank you, sempai." She says. Takashi helps her up. "Where is your next class…" I don't know her name.
"Lucy." She supplies for me.
"Lucy-chan!" I squeal in delight, "Then are you the American student Kyo-chan told us about?"
"Kyo-chan?" the girl looks at me through puzzled cerulean eyes.
"Kyoya Ootori." Takashi mumbles. He waves his fingers through his hair, uncomfortable talking so much to a complete stranger, "He said that there was going to be a new girl from America at Ouran Academy. Said that her parents worked for his. And that her name is Lucy."
"Yeah. That's me." The girl, Lucy, half-smiles.
"Hey, Lucy-chan?" I realize she looks lonely, and I want to help her, "Are you busy after school today? The Host Club is meeting, and I thought that you'd like to come."
"Host Club?" She blinks, uncertainly.
"Well, it's not a REAL Host Club; I mean, it's school approved. You should come. We'll tell Kyoya that you requested us. Just come to music room 3 after classes are finished."
Lucy still looks puzzled, but she answers, "Okay, sure. Thanks."
"What is your next class?" Takashi asks, "We'll take you there so you won't be late."
"Class 2-A Advanced Mathematics."
"Oh! I know where that is!" I had that class last year. "Follow me!"
