Chapter 2- A fangirl?
"You want me to go undercover as a fangirl?" I blurted.
Naoko nodded. "We have assigned you the task of being a typical visitor. I believe this means that you will be required to request Tamaki Suoh, the club's president. His request rate at the club is 70%. This will be the perfect approach."
"But…" I protested without thinking.
Hey, I thought eagerly, if I do this maybe Naoko will nominate me for President when he graduates!
After all the time that I'd spent waiting to become President, a few more months wouldn't matter. "I'll do it!" I declared wildly, "What do I have to do?"
I found myself seriously regretting my decision the next day as I stood outside the door of Music Room 3. No more chess for three whole months! How had I managed to get dragged into this?
The ornate wooden door creaked slightly as I opened it and pink sakura flowers came floating out. In the centre of the room, surrounded by girls, were all seven members of the Host Club, dressed in outfits better suited to an Egyptian Pharaoh and his servants. "Welcome!" They said in unison.
"Oh my God!" I exclaimed in a voice that made me want to throw up, "It's really the Host Club! The REAL, LIVE HOST CLUB! SQUEEEEEEEEEEEEE!"
"Is it a new customer, Kyoya?" asked the fabled President, Tamaki Suoh, curiously.
All the girls were always talking about him. About how handsome, kind, gentle and princely he was. But to me, he just seemed like a complete idiot.
"Yes," replied the black haired guy with the glasses to the left of Tamaki, who I assumed was Kyoya. "She is Miyoko Takaki, of class 1-A. Her family owns many important businesses, she is Vice-President of the Ouran High Chess Club, and her favourite foods are shio ramen and onigiri."
I tried to hold back the look of horror on my face. How did this person, who I had never met before in my life, somehow know my entire life story?
"She looks weird." The twins dismissed casually.
"Hey, that's not fair. She can't help it." said a small brown haired person who I was sure was a girl.
"Hikaru! Kaoru! Haruhi is right!" scolded Tamaki, "Any new customer is a princess here!"
"Err…" I stumbled, trying to get to the point.
"So!" said Tamaki, turning towards me,"Who are you requesting today? Will it be the wild type? The cool type? The loli shota type? The little devil type? The natural type?"
"Umm…" I said nervously, unable to believe that I was about to do this."I-"
"Or," he said suggestively, "Will you request me? The Prince type?"
"Um... you please." I replied, trying to sound girly and excited despite what I really felt like. Absolutely terrified.
"Me!" he beamed, grabbing hold of my body and tipping my head back, "Thank you, my princess! From the moment I saw you, I hoped with every essence of my heart that you would pick me! I will forever be contented with my life from now on, as long as you remain by my side, my love!"
This is supposed to "bring happiness to girls?" I thought as I resisted the growing urge to escape through a nearby window.
