After assigning our homework, the bell rang immediately. Everyone rushed outside while I stayed behind, my things skewered across the hall. People around here knew how to get through the day and not care about what they did to who. That wasn't new though. I've delt with some pretty annoying people in m life. I picked up all my books, utensils, papers, and bento for Ami and me.

Just as I was picking up the last few things, Ami poked her head in the hall (probably looking for me.

"What happened Hako?"

Speak of the devil!

"Oh, nothing much. Just rich kids pushing around."

There was no need to be formal around Ami.

I continued, "Shizuo packed us bento. Lean meat and all that stuff."

"Oh, come on, Hako! I hear they have a cafeteria here! They must have some kind of sweets we can try! Like...like cake! I really want to try cake!"

"Otou-san always has someone watching us. It's best not to. Let's head to out classroom, so we don't get tempted."

I picked up the last of my things, my camera, and pulled Ami along who was rather forlorn at the thought of never eating sweets.

Our dad had a very strict diet. No sugary food. No fatty food. No fried food. No artificial food. No caffeine. I never really cared about it much, but Ami wants to try everything! At our last school, people always thought we were weird for declining everything given to us as reward (lollipops, brownies, cupcakes, etc.). Ami always said that they look delicious, but I don't see the appeal.

We arrived at the door. Surprisingly, there were people there already. Seven to be exact. I waved before passing them to my seat. Ami said good afternoon and followed me. Two of the group was Haninozuka and Morinozuka. The rest are their friends most likely.

I threw Ami her bento forgetting the other people.

"Oops! Overthrow! Ami, flip!"

I regreted my words as they came out.

Ami got the message and ran backwards. A round of protests came from the seven as they tried to get out of the way. She flipped beautifully over the group of people in the front, caught the bento, and landed on the teacher's desk. I sighed inwardly. She didn't have to flip over the people!

"That was a bit too much of showing off, was it not? Haninozuka, Morinozuka, I apologize for shocking you."

The twins in the group looked at each other.

"Haninozuka?"

"Call them Honey and Mori."

"I-"

"She doesn't have to, Hika-chan, Kao-chan. Right?"

"Yep!" Ami called down to us.

I mentally face-palmed myself. She was already eating! On the teachers' desk no less!

"Ami, get down from there."

I observed the group.

There were the two seniors that I knew. Another had glasses that seemed to have a glare, so I couldn't see his eyes. He was holding two lunches. One boy was still in shock looking above him and to Ami. A blond. His face kept on bouncing back and forth from the ceiling and to the opposite side of me, so I couldn't see his face. He wasn't holding any lunch. There were the twins I mentioned previously. Orange hair and golden eyes with a mischievous glint. The last one has wide brown eyes that shouldn't belong to a male. I wondered if he was a female wearing a guys' uniform like me. Each of the rest had one lunch.

Ami jumped down.

"Hi! I'm new to this school. That's my twin Hako. I'm Ami."

"It is blinding to meet such shining angels like yourself," the blond, previously shocked man, said and took my hand and lifted it to his lips.

I gently pulled away my hand from the violet-eyed boy and headed to my desk.

"I would prefer if you would not do that."

Ami stood over there apologizing for me, though I was too far away to know for sure. She stayed over there the rest of the time. I felt slightly hurt but used to it. She was the talkative one. I was reserved. Eating my steamed vegetables and fish, I made a note to see if she thought any of them handsome. The warning bell rang, and the group waved to my sister and classmates goodbye.

"You remember that host club on the announcements? That group was them."

"Really?"

"Yeah! And they invited you and I to visit them."

"You can go. I have other clubs to visit."

"That's too bad. I gotta go to 3-C."

"Have fun! I have to head to 2-A."

Behind me, I heard Haninozuka whisper.

"Isn't 2-A where Tama-chan is?"

"Ah."

Who?


I arrived at 2-A to find a closed group in the middle of classroom, mostly of girls and their very high-pitched voices.

"Tamaki! I didn't see you at lunch!"

"I missed you too!"

"Ah, my ladies. No need to worry. Even though I might be away from you, my heart remains. Forever in your hands."

I would recognize that voice anywhere! It was that guy who tried to kiss my hand. I attempted to past him inconspicuously and keep a cool face.

Suceeded!

"Hako-hime!"

Or not.

"Que voulez-vous?" I responded wearily.

"Ah! Vous prenez français aussi! C'est très bien!" he said.

"Oh? Viens de remarquer que maintenant, vous avez fait? Vous êtes une puce," I retorted sarcastically.

Our teacher clapped her hands.

"Installez-vous. Je suis votre professeur de français, Mademoiselle Joséphine Lucas. Chaque matin, quand je viens de, je m'attends à une salutation. Quelque chose comme bon après-midi, Mademoiselle Lucas. Comprendre?"

"Compris!" the class chorused.


~What do you want?~

~Ah! You're taking French also! That's great!~

~Oh? Just noticed that now, did you? You're a smart one.~

~Settle down. I'm your French teacher, Miss Josephine Lucas. Every morning, when I come in, I expect a greeting. Something like good afternoon, Miss Lucas. Understand?~

~Understood!~
