Chapter 6: Is This Lucky, or Seriously UN-Lucky?
Haruhi's POV.
I twitched. This was nearly exactly like what happened to me, except with more throwing and screaming. I saw the girl with the glasses twitch. Everything was completely silent until I heard the girl in the leather jacket say,
"Oh. SHIT." Silence. It was surprising that Hikaru and Kaoru hadn't gone and done their 'brotherly love' act. Finally someone broke the silence other for reasons other than swearing.
"Oh dear," Kyouya-sempai said, "This is interesting."
"Yeah, that vase was going to go up for auction," Said Hikaru and Kaoru walking to stand together.
"How much?" Asked the girl with the glasses, looking down.
"Pardon?" answered the twins, raising their eyebrows.
"How much were they going to start with?" The girl raised her head and I could see some sort of fire in her eyes. Not a determined fire, but an angry one. She glared at the twins, and it looked like she was the devil's spawn. I'd frozen and she wasn't even looking at me!
"T… twelve million yen," Stuttered Hikaru, frightened.
"You will have to pay that back somehow. It seems we have another debt in our midst." said Kyouya-sempai calmly. The girl turned her head and glared even harder at Kyouya, and I could feel everyone in the room turn white. Kyouya didn't seem affected at all and kept his gaze on the girl.
"Oh just shut up and let me think." Hissed the girl at Kyouya. I stared, no one talked to Kyouya-sempai like that.
"It is simply fact Ms. Wolf." Answered Kyouya, not fazed at all.
"Look Ootori, it's just Avery. I hate the Ms. Wolf thing. Now will you please SHUT UP?" The girl answered back, turning away from him.
"We'll pay." Said the girl in the leather jacket, who was holding Honey-sempai against her hip; she looked a little like his mother.
"How?" asked Hikaru, turning to 'Avery'.
"You can't even buy the school uniform," Kaoru asked after Hikaru.
"We didn't buy the school uniform-" Said Lacey, turning to the twins,
"Because we didn't want too. I mean they look like someone puked on them. You agree right?" Finished Rosalie.
The twins looked at each other then back to the two sisters and nodded. "We can't dispute that."
"Do you need music?" Asked Avery suddenly, turning to Kyouya and changing her stare. When I looked at Kyouya and Avery, it seemed like they were having a conversation. With no sound. Or movement. It was a little weird. Suddenly the girl nodded and gestured to her friends to come to her. The girl with the jacket put Honey-sempai on the ground gently and walked towards the girl, joining the girl and the sisters.
"We could play. They've got a stage." She said to them, "We'll get to practice here, and we pay off the debt."
"What do we play?" Rosalie asked Avery,
"Our songs, gentle ones, no real rock ones we've got."
"Awwwww," Whined Lacey, "I get awesome solos in the rock ones."
"Sorry Lace, but I'd rather do this then have to pay twelve million yen."
"What else?" The girl with the jacket asked.
"We need to help out with the guests." Avery answered.
"How?" Rosalie asked.
"Serving tea, cakes. Setting up. That's about it."Avery answered again. I
"I'm in." Rosalie said, looking at Lacey,
"Ugghhh, I'm in too then," Lacey nodded at Rosalie and held her hand.
"Alex?" Avery turned to the girl with the jacket.
"A place to practice would be good, so… I'm in." Alex said, nodding.
"We've also sometimes got to dress up with their themes." Added Avery.
"And you tell us this now?" Complained Rosalie,
Lacey shrugged, "As long as they don't look like puke."
"I just want to play," Said Alex simply. To this, Avery nodded, turned to Kyouya and nodded.
"We're in"
"Well, let's hear something then! We aren't going to hire you if you suck." said the twins pushing Avery to the stage. She looked like she was about to kill them. The sisters, noticing Avery's expression, ran to the twins, took each one by the hand and dragged them away to the other side of the room. There they stood whispering to the twins while they nodded and whispered back. Avery shook her head, annoyed and sighed, pushing up her glasses.
"Alex, why don't you play? I heard you writing a new song last time, even though you haven't show it to us it sounded pretty good." Avery turned to Alex, who was still standing in the same place. Slowly she nodded and walked to the stage. As she sat down, she looked at Avery unsure,
"You sure?" She asked, and Avery nodded, smiling. I turned when I heard Honey-sempai whisper to his cousin.
"Takashi! Look, Alex-chan is going to play!" He whispered excitedly, "Do you think she'll be good?" to this Mori nodded, and watched as Alex began to play a few chords. She looked to her friends uncertainly and they nodded encouraging to her. Alex closed her eyes, took a deep breath, opened her eyes again and finally began playing.
Bold – Alex, Italics – All four,(Love Song, Acoustic Version by Sara Bareilles)
Head under water
And they tell me to breathe easy for a while
The breathing gets harder, even I know that
Made room for me but it's too soon to see
If I'm happy in your hands
I'm unusually hard to hold on to
Blank stares at blank pages
No easy way to say this
You mean well, but you make this hard on me
I'm not gonna write you a love song
'cause you asked for it
'cause you need one, you see
As Alex played, a small smile crept across her face, and you could see her throw all her cares away.
I'm not gonna write you a love song
'cause you asked for it
'cause you need one, you see
I'm not gonna write you a love song
Suddenly the other three girls joined, even though they'd never even heard the song.
'cause you tell me it's
Make or break in this
If you're on your way
I'm not gonna write you to stay
If all you have is leaving I'm gonna need a better
Reason to write you a love song today
I learned the hard way
That they all say things you want to hear
And my heavy heart sinks deep down under
You and your twisted words,
Your help just hurts
You are not what I thought you were
Alex closed her eyes and bent down a little bit as she hit the high note, but you could still see the wide smile on her face.
Hello to high and dry
Convinced me to please you
Made me think that I need this too
I'm trying to let you hear me as I am
I'm not gonna write you a love song
'cause you asked for it
'cause you need one, you see
I'm not gonna write you a love song
'cause you tell me it's
Make or break in this
If you're on your way
I'm not gonna write you to stay
If all you have is leaving I'm gonna need a better
Reason to write you a love song today
Promise me that you'll leave the light on
To help me see with daylight, my guide, gone
'cause I believe there's a way you can love me
Because I say
I won't write you a love song
'cause you asked for it
'cause you need one, you see
I'm not gonna write you a love song
'cause you tell me it's make or break in this
Is that why you wanted a love song
'cause you asked for it
'cause you need one, you see
I'm not gonna write you a love song
'cause you tell me it's make or break in this
If you're on your way
I'm not gonna write you to stay
If your heart is nowhere in it
I don't want it for a minute
Babe, I'll walk the seven seas when I believe that
There's a reason to
Write you a love song today
Yeah, Yeah
As soon as the last note drifted away, Alex stood and looked at Kyouya.
"So will you take us?" She said putting her hands on her hips.
"OF COURSE WE WILL! YOU WERE SO WONDERFUL!" Screamed Tamaki-sempai, running to Alex on the stage, "IT WAS BEAUTIFUL! I CAN'T BELIEVE YOU WROTE THAT SONG!"
As Tamaki was running towards the stage, Alex put her hand out to stop him, but he didn't stop,
"Dude, DUDE! DON'T GET IN MY SPACE!" He kept running. He was nearly there. "DUDE! GET- HIYAAA!" As soon as Tamaki had wrapped his arms around Alex she had thrown him across the room.
"Not… a guy…you shouldn't… princess!" He muttered in a heap on the floor at the other end of the room.
"Excuse me… uh…" I fumbled with what I should call the girl,
"Just call me Alex," She stuck out her hand, which I shook.
"Yes, Alex, what is Tamaki-sempai muttering about?" I asked curiously.
"This morning he mistook me for a boy. And asked me to join the host club."
"He didn't realize you were a girl?" This was beginning to feel a little like déjà vu.
"I had my helmet on." Helmet? For what? I thought, but just as I was about to ask her, Honey-sempai walked up to us.
"Alex-chan," He began looking up with those cute baby eyes, "you practice karate?" I looked at her, eyebrows raised. She must have used a karate move when she threw sempai across the room.
She tilted her head a little bit and looked down at the senior and said, "Yes, and kendo too. Why?"
"And kendo too? Woww." He said again looking at her strangely. "Takashi! Takashi! Alex-chan does kendo!" He began to yell excitedly, and Alex picked him up as Mori-sempai walked over.
"Yeah, again, why?" She looked at him confused.
"Takashi does kendo too!"
"Oh," She said, recognition flashing across her face and she looked at Mori-sempai as he patted Honey-sempai on the head. "Awesome,"
"Yes," Interrupted Avery, "Mori-sempai here became the national champion in only middle school."
"How do you know that?" Asked Kaoru suspiciously.
Avery adjusted her glasses, causing a glare. "Research." Kaoru backed away and looked to Kyouya-sempai,
"Kyouya-sempai, she's just like you! She even does the glasses thing!"
"Oh, shut up you Hitachiin's." She turned to the twins.
"SHE KNOWS OUR NAMES!"
"I know ALL, of your names."
"SHE KNOWS ALL!"
"Exactly."
"She's a girl Kyouya!" Hikaru and Kaoru walked to her. "Is she real?" They poked her in the side and I saw the sisters wince.
"I'm very real. And if you touch me, you will be very dead." She gave them the death glare, and they backed away again. She looked at her watch. "School's nearly over, so we'd better get going. We'll get our instruments over tomorrow morning. We wouldn't want to keep you from your hosting duties would we?"
"Yes princess! We shall wait restlessly until we see you again!" Tamaki-sempai said grandly. "Of course you will." Avery said sarcastically. She walked over to the twins who were with the sisters, but as soon as she got near them, the sisters hugged each twin tightly.
"No! We don't wanna go!" They whined, looking up desperately at Avery. "It's more interesting here!"
Avery looked over to Alex apologetically, and Alex nodded. She walked up to the sisters, grabbed their arms and tried to pry them off the twins. "Come on, we've got to go home."
"No!" The sisters hugged the twins tighter, and I saw their faces going red a little. I knew they were blushing, but it could have been the lack of air to their lungs.
Silently Alex whacked both of the girls on their heads and finally they let go, who then quickly grabbed their arms and dragged them to the door.
"Bye Takashi! Bye Sweetie!" She called behind her back. Honey-sempai and his tall cousin waved to the disappearing girl.
"BYE HIKARU! BYE KAORU!" The girls yelled and waved as they were dragged out of the door.
"BYE GIRLS!" The twins yelled enthusiastically.
Avery sighed, shook his head and gave a tiny smile. She walked slowly to me and gave me a hand. "I can't wait to get to know you better Fujioka," I nodded, a little shocked because I hadn't known she knew my name. She was like Kyouya. Then she went to Tamaki-sempai and gave him a tight hug. Finally she went to Kyouya and looked at him, right in the eyes. They both gave small nods and then she was off, closing the doors behind her.
All done!
