I moved here from America a couple of months ago to live on my own with my parents money. I could live on my own with on one condition, I went to Ouran High School. I listened to them and found out that my cousin Haruhi lived here and went to Ouran. I went into the host club and I slipped and broke a vase and I had to work for them. That was how I was reeled into the host club and got to spend time with my cousin. She didn't remember me much because we played together when we were toddlers. I'm glad I'm here though, my home life wasn't the best. I don't want to get into it though.
But of course what no one really knows that I visited here while my father was on a business trip. I was in middle school at the time. I saw the Hitachiin twins and left them a letter to meet me under a gazebo on the school grounds. I sent the letter to Kaoru telling him that I wanted to meet him and thought he was cute. I waited there for him and when he arrived, or so I thought it was Kaoru. Little to my knowledge it was Hikaru. I was embarrassed and ran away crying. I also met Tamaki because he asked why I was crying. I became good friends with Tamaki while I was there. After a month of two I had to leave with my father and I told Tamaki that I would write to him, which I did.
Back then I went by Merxina, now I go by Mina. I changed greatly during years when I returned to America. When I came here I was surprised that they couldn't recognize me by my eye color because eye color never changes. My blonde hair became a dirty blonde overtime but my mint green eyes never changed. I just hope that I wouldn't have to face heartbreak like that again.
"Mina-chan are you excited for the party tomorrow?" Honey asked me. "I don't think I'm invited Honey Senpai." I told him. "We will need some help at the party." Kyoya said. "Oh joy. Haruhi do you want to come over before the party tomorrow and come over today?" I asked her. "Sure, I just need to get my suit tomorrow and as for today sure.." Haruhi told me as she got up. "That's fine. We'll walk to my apartment from here." I told her. "Are you sure?" She asked. "I don't mind. It's good to get some exercise." I told her. "We can give you a ride." Hikaru said as he walked up to Haruhi. "Yeah and you won't have to walk all the way from here to your apartment." Kaoru added. "Honestly I will be fine walking unless you want to Haruhi." I told them."It doesn't matter to me." Haruhi said. "Why don't we all go over Mina-Chan's house?" Honey Senpai suggested. "Well, I don't know Honey Senpai." I told him. "Oh wouldn't it be lovely?" Tamaki added. "I suppose." I told them. We all filed out of music room 3 and went into Tamaki's limo that arrived when we exited the school. We all got inside and I was sitting next to Haruhi. The car ride was quiet, except for Kyoya's nimble typing on the computer.
This was the host club's first time visiting my place and the apartment complex had a gazebo too. I'd go out there at night to think. I loved that spot. It was my thinking spot I could say. Once we arrived I could see the gazebo and some of the writing in it. It was a place for people to write stuff in. In the middle of it there was a huge tree with couples names in it. I just hoped one day my name would be on there with my boyfriend's. I stepped outside of the limo and walked over to it and smiled.
"Wow Mina-Chan! That is a pretty cool tree!" Honey said as he got out. "Yeah, I love it. I hope I can put my name on their with my boyfriend's." I told him as I continued to walk into the complex.
"I have to go clean up a bit. You guys wait here. I'm on the second floor." I told them before I went into the complex and hurried up to the second floor and to apartment 13B. I opened the door and started to put the dirty clothes in my room in a small pile by colors and whites. I then went to the magazines and organized them. I put some of the empty Chinese food boxes in the trash. I'll have to go shopping Sunday since the dance is tomorrow and I'll be with Haruhi before it.
My apartment was about the size of a house. This apartment complex is costy but not mansion costy. It has two bedrooms one with it's own bathroom. The kitchen had a counter with built in black and white barstools. It had an open view of the living room. There was my own laptop and a medium sized TV. All provided by mom and dad. The apartment also came with a balcony. I stepped outside to it and looked at them all in the gazebo looking at the carvings. "Hey you guys can come in now!" I yelled to them. "Let's go Takashi!" Honey called as he started to run and Mori followed behind. Then the group disappeared into the building. I then went back inside and closed the door that lead to it. I heard a knock on the door. I did a small gallop to the door and opened it. "Hello." I said with a smile to see Honey in front of the group smiling. "You guys can come in and sit down. I don't have much for food. I'm going to have to go food shopping Sunday." I told them as I moved out of the doorway to let them in. They claimed seats on the couch an bar stools. "You don't have to feed us." Haruhi said. "Well I don't want to be rude." I said. "Mina-chan, is this what you looked like when you were little?" Honey asked as he held up a picture of me when I was just a toddler. "Yes." I told him. "You'd look so cute!" Honey exclaimed. "Thanks Senpai!" I told him. I watched Tamaki closely as he went to a picture of when I was in middle school. I quickly scrambled to it before he did. I snatched it before he could grab it.
"This is an embarrassing photo." I told them as I looked at Tamaki. His eyes had a small sparkle in them as if he discovered a long lost relative. I gave a small smile and went into my bedroom. I put the picture in my top drawer and turned around to see Tamaki on the other side of my bed. "What is it Senpai?" I asked him. He ran over to me and gave me a big hug. "Your back!" I exclaimed. I quickly pushed him away and covered his mouth. "No one is to know about this!" I whispered in his ear. He nodded up and down. I then pointed him out of my room as I fixed myself up. I exited and looked at everyone. " So what kind of party is this?" I asked them. "A masquerade party." Kyoya said. "Why a masquerade party?" I asked him. "A fun game to guess the other person's identity." Tamaki smiled "So what should I wear or am I serving?" I asked. "Why don't you join the festivities Mina-chan? I don't think we will need much help right Kyo-chan?" Honey asked. "Well, everything will be set up so there will be no use for serving but you will have to pick up our orders." Kyoya said.
"Oh joy. I guess we won't be able to hang out tomorrow Haruhi but Sunday would be good if you are free." I told her. "I don't have a problem." She said. I smiled. "So what will you be wearing?" Tamaki asked."I don't know." I said. In fact I did know. It was something my mother wore when she met my father. She wore it to a costume party. "Well you better find something. The party is tomorrow." Tamaki said. "Don't worry I will find something." I told him. "I'm sure it will look very pretty on you!" Honey exclaimed."Thank you Honey Sempai." I told him. "Or really bad." Hikaru laughed. I glared at him. I don't know why but he always disliked me. As for Kaoru I was unsure of his feelings toward me. "How could you say such a thing to your sister!" Tamaki yelled defending me. "Sister?" Hikaru questioned.
"Look why doesn't everyone leave for the night. I have some stuff to do. I'm sorry to cut this visit short but I need to do laundry and other things." I told them. Hikaru was only nice to me sometimes was because I was Haruhi's cousin and because I would hang out with her and being with me was the only reason he could get close to her. I could see his little crush, I wasn't stupid and I didn't want to deal with a fight with him.
They all left but Tamaki. He stayed behind and looked at me. "What?" I asked him. "You can use my limo tomorrow. I'm so glad your back Merxina!" He exclaimed."Not so loud! And it's Mina now." I told him. "Sorry. I could help you out tomorrow and we could catch up." Tamaki said."Well, it's my responsibility to pick up the food and other things." I told him."It will be fine." Tamaki said."Okay Sempai. When will you come by?" I asked him."Around noon. The party starts at seven but it will take a while to set up the ballroom." He said. "Alright I will see you then." I told him.
