Hikaru's POV
Kaoru and I returned our costumes and left later that night. He looked at me with a concerned expression.
"You like her, don't you?" he asked. I just mumbled noises, trying not to answer the question. "Well, I'll take that as a yes."
"I tried kissing her, but she just gave me a hug," I explained with a mad face. "I'm just going to forget about Grace."
"First of all, now I know you don't handle rejection very well," Kaoru began. "The Hikaru I know will make the girl fall for him! Don't give up on Grace, she's a nice person."
"You hardly talked to her," I retorted.
"I can just tell," he said. "Doesn't she have a Youtube channel, check it out. See what she's into."
That night, I couldn't sleep. I didn't want to bother Kaoru, who was in the next room, another part of our being independent process, sleeping separately. I decided to look at Grace's youtube channel.
I scanned through her videos, her most recent one was the dress. She also did short films; about bullying, judging, style, status quo, and friendship. Grace also did pranks on her siblings, which had video responses on her siblings getting her back.
The one that I liked the most was her cups song cover. She was singing a song, while clapping, moving and tapping a plastic cup.
"I got my ticket for a long way round, two bottles of whiskey for the way. And I sure would like some sweet company and I'm leaving tomorrow, what do you say? When I'm gone (when I'm gone).When I'm gone (when I'm gone).You're gonna miss me when I'm gone. You're gonna miss me by my hair .You're gonna miss me everywhere You're gonna miss me when I'm gone
"I've got my ticket for the long way 'round, the one with the prettiest view. It's got mountains, it's got rivers, it's got woods that give you it sure would be prettier with you. When I'm gone (when I'm gone) When I'm gone (when I'm gone) .You're gonna miss me when I'm gone .You're gonna miss me by my walk you'll miss me by my talk, you're gonna miss me when I'm gone."
It got me to think, will I really miss her when she's gone. I was saying no inside my head but my heart said yes, yes I will. I took Kaoru's advice and planned on winning her over.
Grace's POV
Monday came and I was to start my first day at Ouran. The only reason I didn't begin my first day with Ben was because I had a problem with the school uniform. It was too stuffy and hot under the yellow dress. I also hated dresses and yellow.
So I compromised with the principal. I ended up wearing a boy's uniform with a skirt as a bottom. It was somewhat better. I made the skirt a little tougher looking by handing some of my chains on the side. I also sewed some band patches on the blazer. And instead of the black shoes, I had on my black ankle boots.
"Sister, why do you have to be so different?" Ben asked as we were drove to school. He was being nice by not saying the word picky or weird.
"I'm just using the rich teenager power that I hardly use," I answered.
"Whatever," he replied. "Are you going to the Host Club party?"
"I have no reason to go," I said. "Well besides supporting you. I don't see why I should attend with a bunch of squealing girls."
"You're practically anti-social Grace," he retorted. "Just come for me, 'kay?"
"Got it," I said as I walked out of the car and into the biggest school I ever been in. The private school I was in was much smaller, since it was located in the city.
I saw Haruhi walking with a stack of books. She was having trouble keeping her balance. I hurried over to help her.
"Thanks Grace," she said.
"Any time," I replied.
"Are you in any honors classes?" she asked.
"History and Literacy," I answered. "Like it matters, you're one year older than me."
"I keep forgetting," she muttered. "Why does everyone have to be taller than me?"
I stifled a laugh. "You'll get taller, I'm just from a family of white people," I joked. Maybe I shouldn't have said that to a small Asian girl, but she giggled.
We said our goodbyes and then two girls, both brunette, one with black eyes and the other with gray. "How do you know Haruhi?" the black eyed one asked.
"My brother's friend, met her this weekend," I answered.
"Well, isn't he the sweetest!" the other squealed. "My name is Amari."
"I'm Hatsune," the one with black eyes introduced. "You should come with us when we got to the Host Club."
"I'm Grace, and I don't want to attend the Host Club," I replied.
"Why?!" They demanded in unison.
"I'd just prefer not to," I answered and walked away.
My classes were boring, mostly because I already know what they were talking about from reading. None of the classes interest me until I finally had my music class. I was assigned on the violin, which I didn't mind. The song we were learning were simple, so I already knew how to play it by the end of class.
"Grace-san!" Hatsune was screaming down the hall as everyone headed to lunch. "You didn't tell me that you're Benjamin's little sister!"
"I didn't think it mattered," I answered.
"Of course it matters, they hardly let in anyone in the Host Club!" She said. "Amari just spent a client session with him and told me he's completely dreamy! The sweet jock of the club."
I couldn't help laughing. Yeah, he was sweet, but a jock? Maybe to other people's standards, he would be good, but compared to Molly, he sucks. And Molly is studying fashion, it almost sounds like an insult. I would say that I was the same athletic level as he was. Annie said that was pretty good since I am younger than him.
I've noticed people only talked to me because they realized that I was Ben's little sister. I just drown all the chatter with a book. Even though I'm already ahead of my classes, I decided to get farther ahead.
At the end of the day, I was forced to wait for my brother. Annie and Molly refused to pick me up since they didn't want to save gas for picking up Ben later. Gosh, I wish I drove to school by myself!
I waited by the music room, playing games on my iPod. I suddenly got a call from the eldest sister, Mary. She was in a theatre group in Los Angeles.
"Hey," I answered.
"Mom told me to call since she can't, how's it going?" She asked.
"Good, we're moved in, grandma and grandpa are in Kyoto, so the estate practically belongs to us," I answered. "Benjamin found a new clique while I'm still known as his little sister."
"I'm sorry," Mary said. "I called Annie and Molly, they're shopping without you."
"Well, I'm waiting for Ben, so they would've been stuck waiting for our little brother," I replied.
"Hope you're days will get better," she added. "Tell Ben to watch out for you, like an older brother should."
"He is the man of the house," I replied. We laughed. "See yah around."
"Okay, bye Grace," she said and hung up. The door opened and the auburn haired boy from my sister's party stood staring at me.
"Won't you come in?" Hikaru asked.
"I'll be fine, I'm just waiting until Ben's finished," I answered. He lifts me up and takes me to a seat. "My stuff!"
"No one's going to take it," he added. A cup of tea was in front of me and he sat across from me. "A girl like you should be treated better."
I blushed a little. I've always thought I deserve what I get, believing in fate all the time. I just smiled and he saw a tint of sadness in my expression.
"C'mon Grace, tell me who you were just talking to in the hallway," Hikaru began. "I like to hear you talk."
Hope you guys like it so far! XD
