Chapter 12
"Thank you for coming," My mom waved as out guests left the house. She closed the door and turned to me, "Those boys are so sweet. Especially that blonde one… Tamaki, wasn't it? I could see you two together." My mom stated, my mouth just dropped.
"There is no way I would ever go out with Tamaki, mother." I tried to stay calm as I spoke but, my mind was going crazy.
"Okay Mizuki, I was just saying. Anyway you should get some sleep." She kissed the top of my head and left to her room.
I sighed, relaxing from the craziness of dinner. I heard the phone ring and grabbed it off the counter. "Hello?"
"Hello, Mizuki?" I gasped in shock of who was on the other line.
"Dad!" I squealed. He laughed. "You haven't called in two years. What's up?"
"I just wanted to see how you were doing. I haven't talked to you in a while."
"Yeah, so how's Chyso?" I asked, wondering how my brother had been doing.
"Good, he's quite popular in school."
I laughed, "Sounds like him. Goes somewhere for a little while and he's already popular."
"Yeah. What about you? How's Ouran? That's the name of your school right?" Dad asked.
"Ouran's fine. I've made a few friends, a few more enemies..." I trailed off.
"Mizuki you shouldn't have enemies. What about the boys there? Do you like any of them?"
"Definitely not but, there are a few boys that are trying to get me to come to a club of theirs."
"Why won't you?"
"It's a host club, they entertain girls by giving them lame compliments, I honestly don't need them, and I have better things to do."
"Oh, well I have to go. Your brother has to get ready for school."
"Ok, bye dad. Nice talking to you."
"Love you," Dad added.
"Love you too," I replied and hung up the phone. I liked talking to my dad, he understood when I didn't want to talk about things and he didn't try to pry.
"Who was on the phone?" Mom came out of her bedroom.
"It was dad, he was just checking up on me." I stated, mom went back into her bedroom.
I got up and got ready for bed. When I was lying down in my bed and sleep took over me, I had wished it hadn't when I woke up.
*DREAM*
I was sitting on one of the elegant couches in the Host Club. Tamaki walked in and sat next to me. No girls were in the room, it was only me, Tamaki and his fellow hosts.
Butterflies filled in my stomach as he gently took my hand and placed it close to his face. "Hello my princess." I blushed a bright red as he looked at me. "Why princess, your hair resembles the richest chocolate." He ran his fingers playfully through my hair. I smiled.
A sudden jolt came through me and I pushed Tamaki off me. "What are you doing Tamaki?! You pervert!"
A confused expression came across his face. "You didn't like the compliment?"
"Hell no! I especially didn't like you toying with my hair." I got off the couch and ran towards the door where I was caught by Mori.
"You can't leave."
I woke up screaming and breathing heavily. 'It was only a dream. Only a dream.' I ran fingers through my hair. I sat up in my bed and looked at my alarm clock. 'Time to get ready for school.'
I went to the kitchen and heated up a bagel. I noticed a note from my mom saying she had to go to work early.
I began getting ready for school, as I did every morning.
-At school-
*Kyoya's POV*
Tamaki wasn't talking endlessly about Princess Fumija or about going to her house last night as I thought he would. 'There's no way he would have forgotten about it.' I thought as we walked into our classroom.
Mizuki was in her desk, staring blankly out the window. As Tamaki and I sat down her gaze never left the window. 'She is very different at home than I expected her to.' I looked at Mizuki and quickly looked away. 'I wonder how she feels about the club going to her house. She gets enough of our crap at school, as she has mentioned many times before.'
"Hey Kyoya, I just had the most brilliant idea." Tamaki was looking directly at me.
"What is it?" I asked with a bored expression. I noticed Mizuki didn't move her head as Tamaki and I began our conversation like she usually would. 'Mizuki isn't looking at Tamaki and Tamaki isn't looking at her. Did something happen last night at dinner?'
"We should add cherry blossoms in the Host Club."
"We have cherry blossoms, Tamaki. If you want more then I can get them." I answered with the same bored tone. 'I don't know how he expects me to get them. They aren't even in bloom right now.'
*Your POV*
I didn't pay attention to the conversation my two classmates were having about cherry blossoms.
The sensei came into the classroom and the students automatically sat down in the seats. "Can someone please tell me the answer to the question on the board?" she waited for a hand to raise. "Yes Mr. Suou?"
"The answer is that he left the gang and when he did he got injured from the other members."
"Very good. Mr. Otori what book is that question from?"
"After Sunset." Kyoya answered, not looking up from his notebook.
"Good, now class please continue reading from your book." I got out my book and read the book our class had been assigned.
