"Why are we here again?"Kire asked,picking her currently sapphire blue nail polish off her finger. Shinsei sighed,knowing that Kire would probably be a jerk until she was fed or until she got another boyfriend,who spoiled her. Hopefully,she wouldn't start complaining until after Shinsei told her.
"I wanted to see if you noticed something."She muttered,sitting at a table in the back. Kire sighed,dramatically almost as if it took her a great effort to do so and sat with a thump on the chair next to Shinsei. She looked around the cafeteria in boredom,having been there numerous times with many now ex-boyfriends,who loved to show off. To bad they didn't keep her affections more than a month at the most. She smirked. Now that Kire thought about it,she found it interesting to know how easy it was for her to ensnare a boy into her web. She looked around the cafeteria,noticing the Host Club,their fan girls,and…
"Wow,that must suck."She said. Shinsei nodded,relieved Kire hadn't figured it out yet.
"Yep."
"And…why am I here again?"
"You know why."
"Uh,no I don't."
"A club."Shinsei breathed out slowly."For girls to entertain the boys."
Kire blinked stupidly,opening and closing her mouth. Shinsei wondered if she should have just told her in a private place instead of making her figure it out. They were known as the golden friends who never fought and Shinsei didn't know how to handle a rampaging Kire.
"You're telling me you want to make a club,host boys,and you want me to join just because these sad sacks can't get girls themselves?"Kire asked,raising both eyebrows at her best friend of eight years. Ever since they were kids Shinsei had never shown an ounce of kindness and now she was willing to spend her 'valuable' time just to help people?She knew that the Watarimono family was very busy after school,training Shinsei's brother to be the heir of their food business,but she also knew Shinsei had been spending all her time to take the company by showing her parents how capable she was. She would probably be married off to some rich guy,which was the whole reason that Shinsei tried so hard to please her parents.
"Well,yeah."Shinsei said,blushing slightly in embarrassment and nervously plucked at her napkin. She knew Kire was suspicious and she also knew that her idea might not even work out so her nerves were practically through the roof. Kire pursed her ruby lips,searching for the proper way to say no to a long time friend,but then Shinsei looked up with her puppy dog eyes and she knew she couldn't say no. She sighed dejectedly,mentally saying good-bye to her precious time after school. Shinsei's eyes sparkled,recognizing the defeated look and the slightly slumped shoulders.
"Let's go."Kire said suddenly,standing up and walking away,making Shinsei blink in confusion at her, but Kire didn't pause so she quickly stood up and ran to reach her side before she left. Some boys turned to look at the two and Shinsei smiled mentally,knowing Kire knew she'd gathered attention to herself. That was one of things that made her want to recruit Kire and the fact that Kire's family owned a world wide fashion store that ranked number two in almost every magazine helped too.
"Uh,where are we going?"She asked tentatively,glancing at her from the corner of her eye.
"Well,we're going to need more people,aren't we?After all,we are only two people."Kire said,squinting at some girls clustered together,but shook her head and continued walking away after seeing them giggle over a magazine that had the Host Club's faces on it.
"But why'd you pass them?They were cute!"Shinsei asked,raising an smaller girl rolled her eyes before pointing at them with her thumb over her shoulder.
"Fan girls."
"Ah,that does make sense."Shinsei nodded,knowing that fangirls were a little to boy crazy and somewhat bland,but since most of the girls were fan girls it'd be a lot harder finding members."We should split up."
"Why?"Kire asked,blinking slightly in surprise. Shinsei stuck to Kire like really irritating glue and always pouted when she told her to leave her alone. She has yet to figure out the key to get the crazy girl to leave her alone. Shinsei loved glomping her a little to much.
"Well,if we stick together our tastes will clash so if we get a list of people with some brain and hopefully beauty we can eliminate the undesirables."Shinsei explained,rolling her purple eyes. Kire nodded,veering to the left,which led outside near the fountain while Shinsei headed for the closest library. She pulled out her trusty silver notebook and a teeny tiny stub of a pencil,poised to write as soon as she found someone interesting. Her notebook blocked as she was going down the stairs and couldn't see the person rushing up. With a shriek she ended up falling down the stairs with her butt while the person landed on her and her stuff fell out of her hands.
"Oh gosh,are you okay!"Her attacker asked in horror. Shinsei looked up at the girl with squinted eyes. She recognized her as Ukawa Kowazoe,a third year who loved writing and a scholarship student for academics. For some reason,even though the girl was really nice she seemed to always be alone or with random groups of people that no one ever saw associating with her again.
"I'm fine."Shinsei said stubbornly,unwilling to be pitied,but then she thought of a wonderfully mean plan.
"Ow!"She moaned suddenly,rubbing her tailbone in mock pain.
"I'm so sorry!I was late and I was so sure no one would be out!"Ukawa sputtered,waving her arms around,trying to show her what had happened as she got off Shinsei and gave her a hand groaned. She groaned in real pain as she straightened herself. Hopefully,Kire would never hear about it or she'd be mother henned to death!She shivered,sending Ukawa into a panic.
"Do you need a crutch,a wheelchair,a chair-!"She shouted hysterically,growing weirder with every question until she was even asking if Shinsei needed a toothbrush!Shinsei raised a hand to stop the mind-boggling babble coming out of the girl's mouth and held out her hand.
"I'm Shinsei Watarimono. Wanna join my club?"She asked. Ukawa blinked at the sudden movement before grabbing the proferred hand and shaking it softly.
"Depends on the club."She said suspiciously.
"A hostess club."Shinsei smirked,putting her hands on her hips. Her purple jacket was tied around her hips and the white undershirt had the top button undone. She hated the girl's uniform and managed to convince the Headmaster that dresses could be indecent if flipped by other people. The girls still had to wear the uniform,but now they had shorts under them,which was an improvement. She still refused to wear a yellow dress though.
"Uh,what does that mean?"
"Basically,you flirt slash talk with boys in order to make them have a good time without anything physical or to inappropriate."Shinsei explained eagerly,smiling. The dirty blond blinked again at the others enthusiasm.
"Well,I don't really have that much time-"
"To study?"Shinsei interrupted. Ukawa nodded apologetically,hoping Shinsei wouldn't keep talking about spending so much time just to flirt. She never really understood why people flirted at all. Shinsei smirked at the girl.
"I'll make you a deal you can't refuse."
"Like what?"
"You spend time flirting and or talking with the boys and you can study with me and my friend."
"Uh,I'm a third year and aren't you a first year?"Ukawa's eye twitched while Shinsei's smirk turned slightly colder.
"My parents wanted to bump me up a couple grades,but since I refused I get a ton of tutors,who teach me the oh so great third year load."She replied,smiling at the end. Ukawa paused,imagining studying with someone who might actually be smart enough to help was tempting,she had to admit,but there were some things she had to be let known.
"No touching my journal and we're good as pie."Ukawa smiled. Shinsei squealed and glomped her,managing to make both fall on the carpeted wondered if she'd made the right choice,accepting a deal with the devil.
