Hoshimi shot me a sheepish grin. "What the hell, Hoshimi? Is this your idea of cheering me up? You know as well as I do that I've had a very rough life!" I yelled viciously.

A crowd of girls in their yellow dresses formed around the two of us. Even some of the 'hosts' were staring. I noticed after a double take that one host was actually a cross-dressed girl. I rolled my eyes and focused them back on my cousin.

"You know that I've had to deal with my parents getting divorced when I was little, and you know about my more recent problem. So that doesn't mean that you have the right to go and invite me to a club that allows boys to attempt to make girls melt for their own selfish benefit!" Once I was finished with my rant, the blonde that'd been in our classroom earlier came out from the center of the crowd. I could hear bits of whispers among the crowd.

A red-headed first year whispered to a short, raven haired friend,"…the Prince is gonna do?"

"Tamaki's sooo gorgeous!" A swooning curly, blonde squealed.

"You think Tamaki-sempai will do something about the fight?"

Tamaki, huh? So that was the blonde's name. "Hello, my princess. Why don't you calm down, have a seat, and have some tea with me?" Hoshimi did a face palm at his statement. "You idiot! You never tell a girl to calm down!"

Tamaki backed away in fear but I smiled at his idiocy and bowed, "Please show me the way." His violet eyes blinked before walking gallantly in front me. We sat down as the cross-dressed girl came over with tea.

"Arigato." The two of us said in unison. We looked away from each other. Tamaki chuckled nervously, then regained his princely composure and asked, "So tell me about yourself, beautiful."

I couldn't help but turn as red as a stop sign and turned away. "Well, umm…" Tamaki's hand grasped my chin and brought it close to his face. "There's nothing to be afraid of, you can tell me. After all, I was the heir to a huge fortune."

Realization hit me at last. I'm actually pretty slow when it comes to noticing things about some people. "You're the son of the chairman aren't you?"

Tamaki smiled, a hint of sadness in his eyes, though he didn't let it show for too long. "Yes, I am. But I gave it all up for a girl I liked. Though, it seems that all we will ever be is friends."

"I'm sorry but what girl in their right mind wouldn't find you hot?" I clapped my hands over my mouth. Tamaki chuckled heartily, "So you must find me attractive, do you not?" He blew softly into my ear, sending cheerful chills down my spinal cord.

Focus, Amaya. I thought strictly. I had made an oath as soon as I stepped into Japan. I couldn't break it now.

"You see, I had some guy troubles when I was in America. I've lived in Florida for the past 15 years of my life. I haven't travelled to many exotic places. I've gone to Key West and Cozumel…BUT THAT'S NOT THE POINT!"

Tamaki scooted away in fear before I laughed; this let him know that it was safe to approach me again.

"But yeah. This guy I liked, Hiroki," I choked out his name and the pictures flew past my eyes; I shook myself as Tamaki titled his head, "and he led me on for six days. It's a short time to fall in love with someone but I did being the strange, hormonal, teenager that I am. On the last day of eighth grade, I wound up enough courage to ask him out. Although, the whole day I was beating on myself, 'You know how this will end.' You see, every guy I liked has ended up rejecting me. But I thought he would be different from the others because I was so sure that he was the one. Then, I asked him to come to dinner with me that night, as a celebration for graduating and….." I began choking on air. The flashback came, and it came HARD.

I was back in the hallway of my middle school. My eyes forced themselves up and I was them. The gray-blue-green eyes that had entranced me for a whole week.

I stuttered, "H-h-hey Hiroki? Would you l-l-l-like to g-g-go; I mean, c-come with me to d-d-dinner as a reward for g-g-g-g-graduating?" I had said it, but this time I knew what was coming. He spat in my face as he laughed.

"Never in a million years! I have a girlfriend who's ten times better than you!"

The words brought me to tears as he turned around and left the campus without another word or good wish for next year. Even though, I didn't have any control over this body, I didn't need to fight back the streams of pain that came out. I found a corner alone and sobbed. Out of nowhere my name was being called.

"Amaya! Amaya, are you okay?"

"AMAYA!" Tamaki yelled as he shook my limp shoulders. My consciousness made way its back to normal. Still a little dizzy I looked up to see Hoshimi, a set of twins, a threatening guy with glasses and a clipboard, a short, cute student holding a stuffed bunny on a tall, mysterious black haired guy, and the cross-dressed girl.

"Gomen." I said with a bow, mostly directed at my cousin.

"So who's this?" one of the twins asked. This twin had a deep voice and his orange bangs were parted to the right.

Hoshimi pointed a finger at me. "This is my cousin, Amaya. She's a little insane like me and she's here because she needed to be cheered up. I figured what better way than with Tamaki, the idiot! Obviously, I was wrong."

"Hey!" Tamaki said before retreating to a corner that emitted a blue, depressed aura.

The cross-dressed girl frowned. "Senpai! Not the corner of woe again!"

I spun around on my heel and mumbled, "If you'll excuse me, I have to go now." I bolted out of there as fast as my feet could carry me.

I've done it again. I've told him too much. I never should have poured my heart out like that! Baka! Baka! Baka! Baka! He knows too much. I've made a stupid move by talking to him. His mood completely changed once I spaced out! He probably thinks I'm some kind of mental psychopath who needs to be locked up in a white padded room and tied up with a white jacket! I DON'T WANNA BE IN A WHITE ROOM OR JACKET!

"Matei!"

For a split second, so I wouldn't end up with my face imprinted on one of the poles, I turned around to see who wanted me to wait. Despite whom I thought it was, the person running after me was Tamaki.

"Why are you running from me?" shouted the Prince of the Host Club.

I shouted back, "I don't know!"

"Then can you stooopppp~?" whined Tamaki.

"I can't. Hiroki rejected me and what did I do! I ran away!"

"Even if you did run away, it's not like it would've mattered. You knew he was going to hurt you in the end right?" he panted.

That statement stopped me in my tracks, once Tamaki noticed; he slowed down until he was right behind me like a shadow.

"How could you know that and I didn't even tell you? How could you have understood what happened and you just met me today?" I mumbled.

"Beautiful people are good at reading one another." Tamaki said, in an attempt to cheer me up.

"Or maybe you're just falling for me?" I teased. His entire face turned super red and he covered his mouth.

"Just kidding." I sung as I poked his chest. Before turning away, Hoshimi popped up behind me and began to sing, "You know she wants you! I know you want heeerrr, I know you want her!"

My face turned about the same color as Tamaki's. "Shut uuuuuuuuuupppppppppp!" I screamed before chasing my cousin with a metal bat.
