Disclaimer: I don't own OHSHC.
I am pointing this out because I find it rather funny. We all know that Shelby passed out last chapter, right? If you don't remember that, get your butt back to chapter 19. But anyway… I would like to say that Shelby passed out upon contact with a miniskirt, and I broke my collarbone while wearing a miniSKORT. They're almost the same thing.
"Nnnggg..." Shelby groaned. She stretched her arms, and sat up. Opening her eyes, she was nearly blinded by all the whiteness.
"Eh?"
"Oh, you're up." Kyouya's cool voice came from her left.
"Muh?"
"You passed out."
"MAH?!"
"Can you speak normally?"
"Naaaaaaauuugh." Shelby groaned, rolling over.
"Not a person who likes being awoken?"
"Blaaaaaaaaaah."
"AB blood type?"
"Yeeeeeeeeeh."
"Don't worry, I feel your pain." Kyouya said, placing a hand on her shoulder.
"RAAAAAAAAAWR."
Kyouya took his hand off. "Sorry."
"Naaaaaaaah."
--With Becky--
"Sensei, Shiinozuka Shelby will be coming-"
"Daaaaaaaauuuuuuh..."
"Never mind." Becky said, seeing Shelby leaning against the doorframe. "You're awake?"
"Muh huh." Shelby groaned, and Kyouya appeared behind her.
"She passed out this morning, and was in the infirmary."
"He dint lut meh get mah curly fries..." Shelby complained, speech slightly slurred.
"That would be the first thing she said other than groaning." Kyouya said.
"Did she walk into a wall?" Some random kid asked.
"Shut up." Shelby glared.
"Yes, two." Kyouya informed. Shelby elbowed him in the stomach.
"I said SHUT UP!!"
Becky chuckled.
--With Addie--
Addie tapped her pencil against the table. Hikaru looked at her. "It's not like she's gonna die."
"She just might."
Kaoru turned to face her. "I'm sure she's fine."
"Hmm..." Addie sighed. Her sensei looked at her.
"Miss Hanako, will you please answer the question on the board?"
Addie looked at her. "No."
"Miss Hanako?! I will not tolerate this sass. Go to the Principal's office!"
Addie got up. "Fine. But, before I go, what does tolerate mean?"
"GO!!"
--With Kyouya & Tamaki--
Kyouya walked into his homeroom, and took a seat next to Tamaki.
"Hey... Is she okay? She starts her hosting duty today!"
"She's fine, just slightly dazed. She whined a bit, and ran into a few walls. Other than that, she's fine."
"Oh, good." Tamaki sighed.
"Agreed. Profits would go down if she couldn't host."
Tamaki side glanced at his best friend. "Kyouya... You really like her, doncha?"
Kyouya looked at him. "I enjoy her presence. So, in a sense, yes."
"No... You like her more than that."
Kyouya faced the front of the room. "I guess I do. She's a kind person; however, it kind of pisses me off that she can see past my mask."
Tamaki smiled. "But that's why you love her, right?"
"Souh, hello? Quit disturbing Mr. Ootori!" The sensei yelled.
Tamaki quickly snapped to attention, Kyouya silently praising sensei for veering the conversation.
Class was finally over, and Shelby had almost completely recovered. Her speech was still a little off, but she was understandable. The rest if the day took it's time, and Kyouya took time to check on the girl, and eventually, it was time to open the host club.
Tamaki took the liberty of informing the boys in 2A that they had recently recruited girls, so they were welcome to come. Most of them requested Addie.
"So... What do you like?" One of the boys asked. He had black hair, and green eyes, and fairly thin. Addie took a moment to look like she was thinking.
"...Football, skateboarding, surfboarding, graffiti... Oh, and shopping!" Addie responded.
Shelby threw her a weird look. She mouthed 'you can't play football to save your life, you tried skateboarding and broke your leg, you've never surfed, and you can't even spell graffiti!'
Addie mouthed back 'I know, but they're totally hot!'
Becky had noticed. 'You have a boyfriend, dammit!'
'Again, I know!'
One of the three boys that requested Shelby that day tapped her on the shoulder. "Hey angel…?"
She turned around, and found the boy about two inches away from her face. Shelby backed up a bit, and said "Whoa… Dude, too close."
"I asked you a question."
"I wasn't listening."
"Will you go out with me?"
"No." Shelby deadpanned, picking up her can of root beer. She snapped her fingers, and Kyouya reached into a plastic box of donuts, and threw one at her; She caught it perfectly.
"Aww… You're too cute. But, I must ask, why not?"
"The voices told me not to."
She continued chatting with the boys, when:
"ZOMG AH TWILIGHT AHH!!" Was heard from Becky's table. All heads turned to her.
"JACOB!! UWAH!!" Becky squealed, while the boys (the nerdy ones) all shouted their favorite girl character.
"Wha…?" Hikaru asked; arm around his brother.
"Jacob! He's awesome!" Becky fangirled some more.
Tamaki returned his attention to a black haired girl next to him, who he was currently attending to. "Princess, would you like to share a cup of tea?"
The girl squealed a yes.
"Whoa! Strawberry cake!" Honey marveled, as the cake tray had just been brought in.
"Strawberry…?" Haruhi asked.
"Do you like strawberries, Haruhi?" One of the girls asked.
"Yes, very much."
And so, on went the host club… Until, every one was ushered out, and the clean up was finished.
"Alright Dudes and Dudette, we're outta here!" Shelby called, waving to the hosts and walking out the door, donut in hand. She had gone through nearly ¥3000 in donuts today… Kyouya was regretting the unlimited donut supply offer he had made the girl. The club's profits were suffering.
"Bye!" Honey yelled, while Mori muttered an 'ah'.
"I'll call you later, Angel!" Tamaki yelled, Addie blowing him a kiss.
My apologies if you are unsatisfied with this chapter… My shoulder hurts like hell, and it's almost one in the morning. Sympathize with me a little.
