We Have a Problem
I arrived at Ouran that morning with a huge smile on my face. I didn't exactly know why, but I did. I walked into class that morning and I was getting odd stares. "That's odd. I thought we got over the weird stares?" I said to myself. I sat down at my desk and saw a note. "What's this?" I thought to myself. I read the note and it said:
Meet us in the courtyard during lunch. We need to talk.
Who would send me a note? Why did I get a note? I don't understand. "Good morning everyone." I hear Tamaki's voice and everyone said good morning to him. I had to hide the note. I don't want Tamaki to see what's going on. "Good morning, Aria." I look up and see Kyoya. "Good morning." "Why so glum?" "I'm not glum. I'm fine. Honest."
Kyoya gave me a weird look, but then let it go. "Hi Aria." I turn and see Tamaki with a huge smile on his face. "Hi Tamaki." "How was your evening?" "It was all right. How about you?" "Same old, same old. Are you doing anything after school?" "I have some errands to run." "Oh. So, no host club then?" "No. I'm sorry." "It's all right, you'll come eventually right?" "Maybe."
"Excellent." He smiled. I'm still confused why Tamaki wants me to go to the host club so badly, but right now, I have other things to be worrying about. Who in the world sent me that note? And why do they want to see me so badly? I've only been here a week and people were already causing me grief. Gosh. Class was fine as usual, but I still on edge since I had a note in my desk.
Once classes had ended, I went to the courtyard to meet the mysterious people and left the note in my desk. I waited for about three minutes and then I see a group of girls coming towards me. I stood up and waited for them to approach me. "Aria Smith, second year student, class 2-1. We've been looking forward to meeting you." "Are you the people that sent me the note?"
"We are indeed. My name is Makoto. This is Leiko and Shizuka." "What do the three of you want with me?" "We heard that Tamaki is quite fond of you." "What of it?" "We're just here to warn you." "Why? That isn't any of your concern." "You see, Aria, Tamaki is the king of the host club, who also gets the most customers. If other girls found out that he was hanging out with a girl outside of the host club, they would be completely heartbroken." "And we wouldn't want that. Would we?" "No?" "Exactly, so here is our warning. Stay away from Tamaki."
"That's kind of hard since we have the same class." "I don't care. Stay away from Tamaki or suffer the consequences." "What consequences?" "Stay away from Tamaki and we won't have to deal with that, now won't we?" The girl, I'm guessing named Leiko said to me. They must be apart of some fan club or something. I looked at one of the other girls who hadn't said a word to me.
She looked almost guilty for even being here with these two other girls. Wonder what her problem is. "So, you want me to stay away from Tamaki?" "Smart girl. You catch on fast." "You could have just told me to stay away from Tamaki instead of trying to mess my brain up with other nonsense." "You don't know who you're talking to, Aria. Watch yourself."
"I can kick you out of this school, just. Like. That." The girl said as she snapped her fingers. Are you kidding me? "Are you threatening me?" I said. "I would never do such a thing." The girl smirked. Uh. I swear I feel like I stepped into a stereotypical high school drama movie. Someone kill me now. That was one of the other reasons why we moved to Japan.
I actually wish I were back in America. "Are we done here? I have things to do." I said as I took my phone out and checked the time. Class started back up in five minutes. "Sure. But make sure we don't have to summon you again. Stay away from Tamaki." The main girl told me as she walked off and her little minions followed after her.
The one girl, who didn't say anything stopped and walked back to me. "I'm sorry about Makoto and Leiko." "It's all right. You can't control your friend's actions." I said with a small smile. "I'm Shizuka. I'm actually in your class." "Really?" "Yeah." "Shizuka! Let's go." "Do you want to grab some food after school? My treat?" "Um, sure. You don't mind?"
"Not at all." She smiled. "Um all right. I'll see you after class then." I smiled. "All right." She said with a slight blush on her cheeks and walked back to her "friends". I got back to class and Tamaki almost had a heart attack because I was gone for so long. I told him not to worry about me. It's not like he's my boyfriend or whatever. Then again, if those same girls, excluding Shizuka came after me again, who knows what they'll do to me and I didn't want to find out.
After class, I had met up with Shizuka, so I would avoid Tamaki at all costs. "Before we go anywhere, I want to know something." I said to Shizuka as we were walking to the main gate. "What is it?" "Are you just being nice to me because your friends told you to, or are you actually willing to befriend me, without their consent?" "Well," "Because if you're just being nice to please your friends, I want no part of it."
