"Mr orange!" Tammy cheered, running into the class room, her arms open wide.
Kaoru flinched at his unwanted nickname. "It's Kaoru!" he whined. Hikaru chuckled at his twin, patting him on the back.
Tammy smiled, quickly grabbing something from her pocket. "Here you go." she grinned, holding out a small package wrapped in a pink cloth.
"Whats that?" Haruhi questioned.
"My papa's cookies. He said I should try to make friends by sharing them with people." Tammy explained, beginning to unwrap the cloth. The twins tilted their heads.
"Can you really make friends that way?"
Blinking, Tammy shrugged. "I think so. Well, Papa's cookies are really good. So do you want to try one?" she held out the box hopefully.
Haruhi shrugged. "Might as well." grabbing a cookie, Haruhi took a small bit. Staring at their young rookie questionable, the twins flinched when Haruhi's eyes widened in shock.
"I-It's delicious!" she gasped, covering her mouth.
"Really?" Hikaru tilted his head, taking one of the many cookies. Examining it for a mere moment, he took a small bit. His eyes widened as he hand came up to cover his mouth. "Wow." he gasped, having never tasted anything so delicious in his life before. Kaoru followed his brothers example, giving them the exact same reaction.
"Those are really good cookies Tammy." he mumbled, munching greedily on his own.
Tammy giggled, a small blush creeping on her face. "I'm glad. Papa will probably be glad too."
"What does your papa do anyway?" Haruhi asked, still busy with her cookie.
"He's the chief of police." Tammy answered.
"Eh, thats a pretty cool job." Haruhi blinked.
"Yet he makes cookies?" The twins mumbled. 'What about your mom, what does she do?"
Tammy's smile faded. "Oh. My mama passed away when I was two." she said softly. Regretting bringing the question up, the twins bowed their heads.
"W-We're sorry to hear that." they said softly.
"Don't be." Tammy waved it off. "You didn't know. Besides, I don't remember anything about my Mama, so I don't miss her that much. Well I mean… I miss her a whole lot, but I don't miss her as much as Papa, Sarah or Alix because I don't remember anything about her." Tammy corrected herself, looking down at her feet.
Haruhi placed a hand on Tammy's shoulder, understanding how she felt. Tammy smiled at Haruhi, knowing that she had lost her mother when she was little too.
Not really wanting to pry much, the twins hesitated before asking, "What about Sarah's parents?"
"Oh!" Tammy grinned. "Sarah's papa works a lot and is traveling all the time. Then Sarah's mama, well, she used to work too, but now she just stays at home. She comes and visits a lot though and constantly annoys Papa. Papa and Aunt Noah don't get along well. They always fight and yell at each other. But it's not a bad fighting or yelling. It's more like… they enjoy yelling and fighting each other." Tammy giggled.
The twins tilted their heads. "Huh?" they questioned, confused.
~~~oOo~~~~
Sarah leaned her head against her hand, glancing at the clock. It was almost time for lunch and she was beginning to daze of in class.
"No." she grumbled to herself, sitting up and forcing herself to focus on the teacher. You have to focus. No slacking off.
Sarah had always thought like that. Ever since that day, she had swore to be responsible and work as hard as she was able.
Glancing to her left, she spotted Honey cuddling his Usa-chan, grinning.
"Oh course he's not paying attention." she thought dryly. Behind Honey was Mori, who was as expressionless as always.
Jumping a bit, Sarah glared down at her pocket where her phone was vibrating. When the teacher wasn't looking, Sarah snuck her phone out of her pocket. Lifting it open, she scowled when she saw it was a Text from Alix.
What's 5+5?
Sarah gawked at her phone in shock. Her cousin truly wasn't the brightest. How she ended up in Ouran, she would truly never know.
1) Why are you texting in class? 2) This better not be for some test. 3) The answer is 10
Sarah shook her head, waiting for the reply so she could go back to focusing on the teacher. A few minutes later, her phone vibrated once more.
Class is boring and hard! This is for a work sheet we are doing. Thank you for the help.
Sarah rolled her eyes. She was about to close her phone and stick it back in her pocket when it vibrated.
Neh Sarah, we should go to the Host club again today.
Sarah tilted her head. "Why?"
Cause it's so fun!
Sarah's eyes widened. Alix never normally took a liking to a place for so long. Usually she would enjoy it one day, then be bored of it the very next.
"The host club… huh." she murmured softly, closing her phone and sticking it back into her pocket.
~~~~oOo~~~~
"I don't know what I've been told!" Alice chanted, marching through the halls, Alix and Tammy behind her.
"I don't know what I've been told!" they two sisters echoed, looking like serious military soldiers.
"Tamaki is made of gold!"
"Tamaki is made of gold!"
"Sound off!" Alice commanded over her shoulder.
"3! 4!" Alix yelled.
"Sound off!" Alice barked again.
"3! 4!" Tammy yelled.
Students paused as they watched the 3 newest students march through the halls, calling out random march cries that didn't make sense. The destination of the three were unknown to all as they began to march up the stairs.
"I can't hear you!" Alice suddenly screamed.
"Tamaki is made of gold. But inside he is mold! I am not very old! But this school sure is cold!" Tammy and Alix screamed as they reached the top step of the stairs. Alice turned towards them, saluting.
"Well done soldiers. You may just make it somewhere someday." Alice nodded to them.
"Yes sir!" they saluted back.
"What are you three morons doing?" someone sighed.
Turning to the voice, Alix and Tammy grinned when they realized it was Sarah. "Sarah!" they cheered, jumping up and down.
"I'm teaching them to be soldiers." Alice explained with a grin.
"…Soldiers?"
"Yes." Alice nodded.
"Them?"
"…Yes." Alice nodded again.
"….Are you stupid?"
"HEY!" Alice whined.
Alix and Tammy giggled. "Nyeh Sarah, lets go to the Host club." they urged.
"Host club? You two are going there too?" Alice smiled.
The two nodded. "Why are you going there though Alice?" Tammy asked, tilting her head.
"Oh…" Alice smirked, holding in her laughs. "Ryu, hehe… Ryu works there."
"…Eh?" Tammy and Alix gasped.
~~~~~oOo~~~~
Ryu sighed, adjusting the tie of his uniform before he grabbed a tray of Coffee. Putting on a fake smile, he walked back to some of the guests, handing them their coffee.
"Thank you Ryu." they giggled.
Ryu blinked, giving them a weak grin. "It would be bad if you girls go thirsty. I'm here to help if you need anything." he said stiffly, still a little nervous about the whole thing. The girls nodded, waving to him as he went to go serve the other tables.
"You're doing marvelous rookie!' Tamaki smiled at him as he passed. "We require more coffee though. If you could fetch us some more, that would be greatly appreciated." Sparkles shot out from Tamaki, smacking Ryu in the face.
"Sure." he growled, trudging towards the coffee maker. As he began to make a fresh batch of coffee, he flinched at the sudden sound of laughter.
"Aww, my little Ryu is finally growing up and become a man…. who serves coffee." Alice, who had snuck up behind him, giggled.
"Shut up Alice." he hissed, picking up the tray. "I'm busy, go disturb the other hosts."
Alice, not following his commands, followed. "I brought friends though. And we want you to host us." Alice whined, pulling at Ryu's sleeve.
"What friends?" Ryu scowled.
"Ryu!"
Flinching, Ryu knew where this was headed. "You brought the Avilia sisters…. didn't you?" he grumbled.
"Yes, yes I did. I also dragged along Sarah." Pointing over his shoulder, Ryu saw Alix, Tammy, and Sarah all ready seated at a table, waiting for him. Gulping, Ryu glared at his younger sister.
"Why would you do that to me?" he whined softly.
"Because I hate you.' Alice answered. Ryu, looking hurt, pulled back in shock.
"You don't mean that!" he gasped.
"Oh but I do." Alice said, sounding actually serious.
Slightly horrified, Ryu bit his bottom lip, which had begun to squiver. "R-Really?" he stuttered.
"Of course not you moron, now go host." Alice pointed impatiently to her friends. Letting out a relieved sigh, Ryu walked towards the girls. Alice chuckled at her brothers stupidity.
oOo
"Haruhi, I don't understand!" Tammy whined, staring at the two small pieces metal, obviously confused. The two pieces were rounded at the end and connected together. The goal of it was to separate the circles from each other. This objective was too hard for Tammy to complete alone though.
"Keep moving them around and you'll get it eventually." Haruhi suggested, looking over Tammy's shoulder.
Deeply concentrated, Tammy struggled to do what Haruhi recommended. "What if I never get it though?" she sniffed.
"You can do it Tammy!" Alix encouraged.
"Alix." Tammy whispered softly, glad she had her sisters support.
"It's not that hard." the twins pointed out as they watched the newest guest.
"It is too!" Tammy argued, still staring at the metal puzzle. Tamaki seemed to enjoy watching Tammy figure out the puzzle, and waited eagerly for his turn.
"Ne, Sarah, want some sweets?" Honey asked, jumping over to Sarah.
"I told you I don't like sweets." she sighed, resting her chin on her hand. Honey giggled, remembering.
"Oh yeah."
"GOT IT!" Tammy cheered, jumping up in the air, holding the now separate pieces of metal in her hands.
"Oh!" Tamaki and the twins clapped in amazement.
The group began to chat and cheer at Tammy's accomplishment. Unknowing to all though, Alice was busy writing in her journal. She had always carried it with her, and wrote in it from time to time.
Dear Journal,
Remember when I said a few weeks ago that I wasn't excited for my new school? I think I've been proven wrong. I meet a few people here who make the day a little more interesting.
Though school is still hard, and most of the people here don't really try, it's still amazingly fun. Not to mention, Ryu is actually getting involved in a club.
Though it's for his own personal reasons, he is at least becoming a bit more social. Sadly though, it's only a matter of time when Ryu's 'weakness' is revealed.
"Don't write about that sort of stuff!" Ryu, who had read what she was writing over her shoulder, snapped.
"Don't read other peoples journals!" Alice barked angrily, snapping her book close and swatting Ryu in the head.
"Fight!" Tammy and Alix gasped. Sarah chuckled softly.
"I think…." Honey looked at Sarah, who has begun to spoke. "We finally found it."
"Eh?" Honey tilted his head, confused to what she meant.
End of this chapter! I hope you enjoyed it
