So it's finally here the first day of the Cultural Festival I'm not exactly sure how long these things last or really anything about it so I've been having Haruhi help me to learn that stuff. Speaking of Haruhi my nice relaxing fun day turned out the complete opposite of what I wanted in fact there ended up being a robbery there so, well let's just say that things had to be put on hold for a while.
I let out a deep heavy sigh as I walked into the gates of Ouran Academy seeing everyone arriving and finish setting up before the activities started. However I just couldn't get in the mood for it or anything since well I and Ryou aren't exactly talking to each other and can't stop dwelling on it. Argh, I seriously don't know what his problem is I didn't do anything wrong! I let out another sigh I seriously don't understand guys…heheh ironic I'm supposed to pretend to be a guy but I cant even understand them myself. I had a while still till school activities started and I only have to check in for my shift and that's not until sometime around noon, so I decided to go look around at what everyone else was doing. Well things really were elaborate at this school they had professionals come and do everything its quite amazing but man it must of cost a lot of money and I know there are way better things they can do with that money. Che, stupid rich people. Hmm, oh now that's what I like a bunch of jewelry! Aw~man now I seriously wish I wasn't dressed like this! I thought as anime tears ran down my face and I hung my head in defeat.
"Hoshi-Kun!" I hear an unfamiliar voice call out to me. I see a girl with long light brown hair that reached to her lower back, chocolate brown eyes, deep red lipstick, and light pink eye shadow on come walking up to me flipping her hair in a flirtatious way. I can see now where this is going with out a second thought.
I give her a small smile "Hi" I say quietly as she bats her eyelashes at me. Is this chick serious? I am so sick of all these girls flirting with me especially the ones I've never even seen before.
"Hi, I'm Lilly!" she says holding her hand out to me princess style and I grab shaking it roughly, There's no way in hell that I'm kissing your had sweetheart. I being to speak but she stops me by putting her hand to my lips to stop me and gives out a sickening laugh "I know who you are baby, and I've heard a lot about you as well."
I remove her hand from my mouth "Really I'm still new so…" she puts her other hand to my mouth considering I was still holding her other.
"Ha-ha, don't speak." Lilly says seductively. Bleck, what's up with this chick? "Come, let us walk and get to know each other a little bit." She starts walking ahead of me while I contemplate weather to follow her or not and end up going cant hurt anyone right? ...wrong! So we start walking to who know where someplace I haven't been to at this enormous school. "So do you like our school Hoshi-kun?"
"It's nice I guess…" I begin looking up at the sky thinking "…but I can't really say since I haven't been here long enough." I finish with a blank look on my face.
"Is that so, enjoying your classes I hope?"
"Yes but I always get yelled at in English class for sleeping" I laugh and she gets a surprised look and then an anime sweat drop.
"That's surprising I hear you have perfect English-"
"I do so that's why I prefer sleeping though the class since I can speak it already." She gives out an 'oh' as a response along with a weird look. "How 'bout you?"
"Huh?" Lilly had a confused look.
I giggled "do you like the school?"
"Oh, yes very much it's the only one I've ever gone to so…"
"Were you home schooled before?"
She giggled "No-no silly. This school goes all the way down to grade school level!"
"Oh … that's cool!" I smiled. Lilly stopped walking and then so did I.
"You know Hoshi-kun I normally don't do this… but for you I'll give an exception." She looked straight into my eyes flipping her hair once again. I scrunched my eyebrows in confusion. Uuuuhhhhhh…what?...? "Humph, man are you dense! You're gunna be my new boyfriend silly and I don't date freshman but for you that's where the exception comes in!" she exclaimed giving me a wink. Oh, shiz-niz! This girl sure aint shy!
Before I could even respond someone else stepped in "Hay, you what are you doing with my girl?" A guy around six feet approached us. He had dark brown almost black hair, kind of messy, hazel eyes, and looked kind of sporty. He's pretty cute!
I open my mouth to protest but once again get interrupted. "I'm his now," she points at me "not yours not now not ever!"
"Pretty harsh there Lilly!" I say folding my arms over my chest narrowing my eye at her. She looked shocked that I did that and suddenly shock turned into hurt then….SLAP! …she, she…. Slapped me! Man I didn't see that one coming I'd never thought in a million years that I'd get slapped by another girl. I thought to myself as I rubbed the red spot on my cheek.
I heard heavy laughter coming from the guy from earlier. "Ha-ha, serves you right for stealing my girl!" JERK!
"I told you I'm not yours, Ren! Now get lost you loser!" Lilly yelled at him which took him back causing him to freeze for a moment in surprise, same goes for me. However his surprise soon turned into anger as he march over to where I was standing which was by some trees.
"YOU! This is all your fault!" He says grabbing me by the collar and lifting my up off the ground glaring at me.
"Whoa, now Ren let him go." Another guy comes up placing a hand on Ren's shoulder trying to calm him down. He must be one of his friends. He was quite a bit shorter than Ren though, probably only an inch or two taller than me, bleach blonde hair, deep brown eyes, and very creamy looking skin.
Another guy comes and grabs Ren's wrist. "Yeah he didn't do anything besides he looks quite confused about all of this." Ya think! Sheesh. This guy was the tallest of the three, pretty close to Mori's height, he had shoulder length black hair with a blue tint to it, orange-ish color eyes, and a skin tone between pail and tan done really know how I should put it. How did I not notice these two earlier?!
"I don't care and why are you two trying to stop me anyway? I'm your friend not him!" Ren exclaimed.
"That's exactly why were stopping you." The one with the Black/blue hair said in a monotone.
He shoves his friends off of him and his grip on me tightens and is about to punch me square in the face. "STOP IT!"I hear Lilly yell and his fist stops right before it lands. "Leave my boyfriend alone!" she starts to get really angry.
"Argh, that's it! I'm sick of this!" I scream out in English not realizing I did though. "Look Lilly, I'm not your boyfriend and never will be ok?" I say to her bitterly still in Ren's grasp.
"But, but why? Am I not you type?" She asks me teary eyed.
"In a sense I guess." I reply looking up deep in thought. Ren has let be go now and I fell to the ground with a thud and losing my hat on the way. Oww, that hurt. Aww man I fell in a mud puddle too!...just my luck.
"I, I can change just tell me what I have to do and I'll do it." She says pleading with hope in her eyes stepping towards me. Ren is calmer now but still pissed and well, him and his friends are just kind of watching us in amusement. What the heck?!
"Sorry even if you got the surgery I still wouldn't go out with you." I say getting up. "It's not like your not cute or any thing it's just…" I pause for a few moments one to wonder where my hat went but that soon went away after I saw Ren's two friends on the ground sitting eating popcorn watching us, and then thinking if I should just say it.
"What…surgery" she seems confused it's no wonder really "is there something wrong with the way my face looks?!" she exclaims kind of bitterly.
"Huh, oh no, no not that kind of surgery I like your face it's cute!" I say smiling. The boys seem really interested now and Ren has joined them on the floor with popcorn and they're kind of leaning forward in suspense. I smirk to myself, might as well just say it now. "I'm talken about sex changing surgery, sweetie. You see I'm not into girls" I flash another smile "I'm really into guys." All jaws drop! Ok now that they're distracted I might as well make my on so sneaky escape! Oh wait where'd my hat go? I start looking up and down, left and right for it.
"I DON'T CARE!" Lilly screams scaring off some near by birds. Seriously? I thought that'd be a sure fire to get her off my back. FAIL, big time! "Oh I know! How bout this you and Ren hook up and I'll be like your mistress!" She exclaims clasping her hands together and holding them next to her cheek in a really cheeky smile.
"WHAT THE HELL?!" The boy all yell in union.
"Don't just go deciding these things on you own Lilly!" Ren yells at her and she just ignores him.
"What do you say Hoshi-Kun!" she ask me hopefully.
"I still say no…" I say in a monotone. Where is that dang hat!...oh there it is. I see it lying next to the mud puddle I fell in.
"You jerk! I hate you!" she says pushing me causing me to fall into the mud puddle but this time face first and runs away crying. Now aint this just great! Maybe I should have been a little more…um sensible about it to her.
I let out an exhausted sigh as I get out of the mud puddle and just sit down on the ground next to it. Maybe I should just skip the rest of school. I didn't want to come in the first place and besides it's not like they need me for anything anyway. I pull and loosen the tie of my uniform and fall back to lie down. "Ow~ that hurt I hit my head!" I say rubbing the back of my head,
"Serves you right for leading her on." I hear Ren say to me.
"Oh you guys still here huh?" I say just noticing them standing there. "And I didn't lead her on she just assumed is all." I say dusting my pants off and getting up. "Besides the whole time I was trying to defend you so I don't get why you're mad?" I say innocently and he once again grabs me by the collar.
"What the hell's wrong with you?! You're gay and you didn't tell her and just kept letting her flirt and think you are dating! You broke her heart you bitch!" Ren screams in my face.
I wince at the volume of his voice so close and notice his friends on guard in case he tries anything again. "First of all I just met her not that long ago so we weren't and aren't dating and lastly I'm NOT gay!" I almost yell the last part and his grip loosens a bit but he still held tightly onto me.
"Wait I'm confused if you're not gay then why did you say you like guys?" Ren's friend with the blonde hair asked.
"To get her off my back I haven't been having a good couple of days so I just wanted some time alone." They all kind of looked at me dumbfounded. Looks like they believe it, sweet!
"What's going on here?!" I hear an unfamiliar voice.
"Shit it's the monster run!" say the black/blue haired friend. Soon after I get tossed to the ground once again as the boys go running off. Oww, geez today just isn't my day…
"Are you okay?" I see a hand extended out to me and take it.
"Yes, thank you." I reply getting up and seeing a boy with long red hair half tied up in a ponytail and he looks pretty angry with those glaring brown eyes of his. "Buy why did they go running off calling you a monster?" I asked innocently looking up at him.
He had a little hint of a blush "Th-that's because everyone does because of my scary looking face."
"Oh" He went stone cold "but you know I never was one to judge a book by its cover!" I exclaimed happily. "It's true the way you're always glaring like that is kind of scary but…" I paused for second to think of the right words "you have very kind eyes, ya know?" he seemed a bit surprised but I didn't take much notice to it because I began mumbling to my self if I said that right or not.
"k-k-Kasanoda!" he pulled me out of my mumbling trance and give him a questioning look. "M-my name it's Ritsu Kasanoda."
"Oh, mines Hoshi, Hoshi Kobu" I say extending out my hand for a hand shake, another American custom I just couldn't shake, and we shook hands "It's nice to meet you"
"Y-yeah,…Kobu, are you the rumored one that saved the Headmaster?" he asked me.
"Oh, uh, mhmm, looks like everyone knows about that huh?" I say a little embarrassed. "Oh, ops, sorry about getting your hand dirty" I say noticing his now muddied hand.
"It's fine," He replies picking up my bag off the floor. "You should get cleaned up"
I look over myself and I'm covered in mud and can start feeling it sink into my skin, Eww, this feel so grows. I'm gunna get a rash if I don't find some clean clothes. "You're right, maybe Tamaki has something I can wear in the music room"
"Do you know the Host Club?"
"Yeah, doesn't everyone?"
"I guess…I can walk you over there."
"You don't have to do that."
"It's fine I have nothing better to do anyway."
"You sure?" he ignores me and tosses my bag over his shoulder and starts heading to the 3rd music room.
"H-hay wait up!" I say jogging to catch up to him." I feel like I'm missing something. Hmm, I can't seem to put my finger on it… oh well I'll remember eventually. "I can carry my own bag you know."
~At the Host Club/3rd Music Room~
"What the hell happened to you?!" Haruhi, Tamaki, and the twins say in union while the others just stared. I just gave a nervous laugh while scratching the back of my head.
"Well you see….I just fell into the mud is all." Everyone in the room did an anime fall.
"Liar!" Hikaru and Kaoru said union as they always did. "I bet it was Bossa-Nova-Kun," Hikaru starts "Yeah, he probably just brought him here as to not incriminate himself." Kaoru finishes.
"You guys! That's not nice!" I yell at them which kind of shocked everyone. I let out a sigh "I came here to see if you guys had any clothes I could borrow for the rest of the day… well, do you?"
"Yeah, here." Kyoya says handing me some clothes. "These are the clothes that we were supposed to wear in the next club activities so it should be fine." He says with a hint of annoyance in his voice.
"Oh thank you"
"Oooo, yeas Kyoya very good idea giving him that it'll suit him quite well." Tamaki chimes in "Oh, and Hoshi, you should probably take a shower in the boys locker room too. Here's a towel." He says tossing me a towel.
"Yeah I suppose." I should be quick and carful though. "Thanks for the help earlier, Ritsu. I'll be going now." I say waving to everyone heading out.
"Be careful!" Haruhi shouts after me with a worried look and I flash her a knowing smile.
"Does Haru-chan like Shiko-chan?!" I hear Hunny-sempai chime as I close the doors behind me.
I giggled "I really like all of them…" I let out a sigh "…too bad it wont last though."
~Ren and His friends~
"You know you went too far with that guy" The tall boy with the long blueish black hair said to Ren whom was sitting on a bench in the schools garden.
"Aoi, quit pestering him he's embarrassed enough." The blond boy who had his arms on the back of the bench looking over at his friend says. "But you should apologize to the poor boy"
"Shut up I know that already, Shun!" Ren says bitterly. "I've been thinking of a way to apologize for the past 15 minutes."
"Well stop thinking and go and do it!" Aoi says pushing Ren off the bench and Shun was hunched over laughing his butt off.
"Hay, what was that for!"
"Ha-ha, if we hurry maybe he'll still be where we left him." Shun states
"But what if Kasanoda is still there?"
"That's a risk we'll have to take!"
"…he's not here…" Ren say hunched over disappointed "What was that guys name again?" he says scratching the back of his head.
"I think Lilly said his name was Hoshi." Aoi stated.
"Hay guys what's that?" Shun notices something in the bushes and goes over to it. "Isn't this his hat?" He studies the hat in his hand. "Just another reason to find him, right?" Shun smiles at his two friends.
"The problem is that we don't know how to find him since we didn't get his last name."
Shun thinks for a bit before answering "You said that his name is Hoshi, right Aoi?"
"Yeah"
"There's only one that I know of in the school and that's the new legendary transfer kid."
"Legendary?" Ren questions "Looks like that guy started some roomer about himself because he's a new kid."
"No, according to what I heard it's true." Shun continues.
"What is?" Ren and Aoi ask in union.
"He apparently saved the Headmaster from being gunned down." He crosses his arms and nods his head as though agreeing to himself.
"You're joking right? The guys smaller than you!" Ren exclaims a bit taken back by this new information.
"HAY, I'm not that short!"
"now that you mention it I do remember hearing about that." Aoi chimes in.
"You, know about it too? What am I the only one who didn't know about this?!" Ren shouts.
"Yes" Aoi and Shun reply in a monotone causing Ren to become really depressed, kind of like when Tamaki does.
….After some time like that and his friends ignoring him….
"Hay if it was the Headmaster then maybe he hangs out with his son and his friend" Ren says with a light bulb going off in all their heads.
"That's probably the smartest thing I've ever heard you say." Aoi mocks his friend and they get into a fight while Shun just stands there and watches them for a while.
"This is fun and all but we're burning sunlight here." He finally interrupts his friends bickering and they head off towards the 3rd Music room where they hope to find or at least find some information on this legendary transfer student.
"Hoshi?" Tamaki questions "You just missed him he went to the boy locker room to clean up."
"Thank you!" The three said in unison and left heading to the locker room hearing a 'Senpai' before leaving completely.
~Boys Locker Room (Hoshi/ Amilia) ~
I let out a deep heavy sigh as I stepped into the warm water. No matter how much I would love to take my time in here I have to hurry before someone comes in. Normally I wouldn't mind a little mud but this time it was really horrible it even sunk through my bandages around my chest and my bra under that. Things really haven't been all that great lately, it seams that I cause nothing but trouble wherever I go. I poked my head out of the shower a little to look around once more. "Hmm, I really doubt anyone will come in here considering there isn't any PE or sports going on at the moment." I say to myself while going back under the water.
I watch the mud run off of me and down the drain hear a 'Be careful' ringing over and over in my ear. That girl is usually right about these things. I go and grab my wig to wash it off as well "I wonder what happened to my hat?" I went back to the spot I was at earlier because on my way to the locker room I remembered that I never grabbed it but it was gone by the time I got there. Figures someone would take it it's a nice and new hat after all I just got it when I went out with Haruhi and Uncle the other day. I turn off the water and wrap the towel that Kyoya gave me around my body….
~Host Club~
"Senpai, who were they?" Haruhi asked Tamaki after telling the three men where to find Hoshi.
"Haruhi, Came to check on your Daddy I see!"
"Un, no, now answer my question."
"Humph, that's not very nice. Well, I don't know who they were they came asking me if I knew where Hoshi-kun was so I told them." He replied grumpily.
"You… WHAT!?" Haruhi yelled at her Senpai with a really worried look on her face and darts out of the 3rd music room for her destination.
"HARIHI!" Tamaki yells after her but she ignores him and keeps running and running not noticing that the others were soon on her tail. It's the fastest she's ever ran before but she had to get there to where her best friend was she had to she needed to she was the only one who could help her at the moment and if she couldn't who would?
Heart pounding, sweating vigorously, legs pounding from running so long but now coming into view was where she had to be the boys locker room and hopefully she wasn't too late.
Haruhi swung the door to the locker room open ignoring her questioning Senpai and suddenly heard a scream. Worry consuming all of the Host Club members' faces when they noticed it was a girl's scream dashed in that direction. Soon coming into view was the three boys for earlier staring in the direction of the shower in shock and with a slight blush on their cheeks. Worried about the state they found her friend in she rushes around the corner to find her on the floor, towel wrapped around her tightly staring up at the boys with that black look that she always had on her face.
The girl on the floor notices her friend "Haruhi?"
"Amilia!" Haruhi runs to her friends' side taking off her jacket and wrapping it around her shoulders for a little more coverage since the towel she had was quite small showing some cleavage and barley covering her butt not to mention the slip on the side. A slight sigh of relief left Haruhi's lips seeing that her friend got the towel around herself in time.
"Looks like I've been caught Ruru-chan" Amilia gives her friend a odd smile leaving Haruhi confused just like the other only it's because she never seen such a smile on her friend it's as if no emotion at all is in it….
