"Feel the BASS!" I sing kindda quite as this girl led me to the office. She looked at me. "My name's Haruhi. What's yours?" "Zoe." I lie and then say to her, "Hey Haruhi, you're a girl arnt you?" Her head snaps up, "What gave it away?" I count off on my fingers, "Your looks, your voice, your nicer than a guy." She laughed, "Just don't tell anyone one please." I smile, "Of course not Haru-chan! Wantta know another secret?" She looked at me and waited. I took a deep breath and said, "I'm really Scarlet Rouge." Her eyes got a little wide, "HX Rouge's daughter? He produced my favorite band. But why are you here?" I sigh and say, "My dads all buddy buddies with the chairman here… Mr. Souh I think it was…" She looked at me sympathetically. "Sorry Scarlet." I waved it off, "Now we're even right?" We both laughed and walked in to front office.
"Okay Haruhi. How's this?" I came out in (outfit above in my pic XD). She blinked, "Well that's not the uniform." I smile a little darkly, "I cleared that away with my dad and Mr. Souh already." The final bell rang and she took my wrist and drags me down the hall. She looked back at me and said, "We're gonna be late come on!" We dashed off and when we opened the door I slipped and fell in. I did a summer salt before I hit the floor and I smiled at the teacher. "Your late, both of you." "I'm sorry Miss but Haruhi here was helping me around the school because I'm new and I really couldn't find my way around." I give my best smile and laugh a little. The teacher blinks, expecting a crazy excuse but she just nodded and said, "Go sit by Kaoru-kun and Rachael-san. Both of you please raise your hands. As for you Haru-kun, get to your seat." We both nod and say, "Yes sensei." The girl, Rachael, was leaned over talking to someone. She had long rust colored hair, her purple eyes shot but to me and she gave a small smile. Kaoru, the boy, had tangerine fluffy spiked hair and olive green/brown eyes. He glanced over to the other guy Rachael was talking with and it looked just like him. I look the pair over and shake it off, sitting at the group table where I was told. I got glares from the twins and Rachael kicked them both under the table, "She didn't mean to keep Haruhi you idiots. What ever you wanted to tell her about the club could wait anyways." I just started reading and ignored the glares the twins kept shooting me.
"Scarlet… I MEAN Z-CHAN!" I look up slinging my back pack over shoulder, "Sup Haru-chan?" "Do you need help finding your next class?" I smile, "No I have free period next anyway. Imma go explore for a bit. It was nice to meet you meet cha Rachael." The twins looked at me waiting for me to say something to them but I didn't. "Later girly!" I start to walk off and I'm half way down the hall from them when I here. "ZOEY RUN!" "Whaaa-." I turn to see the twins running full speed at me. Kaoru catches my right arm and his twin catches my left. "Hikaru, we need to take her to Tono and Kyouya!" Hikaru nods, "They'll know what to do!" I elbow both of them and they loosen their grip. I yank away ad say, "What's the big deal? Rachael is a girl right!" Rachael, Hikaru, and Kaoru all nervous laugh. "Of course!" I keep trying to hide the fact I was talking to Haruhi, and she knew I was, "I mean the only other people here are you three dudes and me. Anyyywayss~! I'll be going see ya!" I take off running and then start to walk once I'm a good distance away. "Made. It. Gonna. Faint." "Hey girl! You're on our turf! Back off." I shake my head, "I'm not going and where you freaks." Three really thug looking guys walk over and start laughing, "Then we can beat some scene into you huh?" The first guy punches and I kick his stomach. The other two twist my arms behind my back. "HEY LET GO UH ME!" "Hey that's not nice!" I snap my head up at the familiar voice. Both guys go flying into a wall on the other side of the hallway and a really tall guy picks up the middle thug, "That's not a way to treat some one." The other voice walked other, "Especially a nice little girl!" "Hunnie!" He pats my head from where I fell. "Hi Z-chan. Getting into trouble huh?" I stood up brushing myself off. "Naw just some jerks acting a fool. Thanks for being here though guys. Hunnie who's this?" Hunnie jumped up on the tall guys back, "This is Takashi! But everyone calls him Mori, right Takashi?" "Mhhhm." I smile a little, "Well again thanks guys I-." The intercom cracks and I hear, "Zoe Nevermore to Mr. Souh office." I groan, "Perfect just freaking perfect first the twins now THIS how weird is this school?" I look over to Mori and Hunnie, "Bye guys I hope to see you later!" Hunnie waved, "Bye Z-chan!"
I knock and walk in, "Mr. Souh? You wanted to see me?" He stood, "In Japan it is customary to bow to an elder." I quickly bow, "Sorry Sir." He gives a small laugh, but I can tell how fake it is. "Your father wants to know how you've been." I shrug, "Fine just the same." He nods. I shift and ask, "Did you enjoy the benefit a few weeks ago?" He nods again, "Yes, you have a talent. My son took note of that." "Son, I didn't know you had a son here Sir." "Oh but I do. Well that's all Scarlet-san. I know all about your fake name I plan for you to stick with it." "Yes sir." "And I will have people watching to make sure you behave." "Yes sir." As I'm in the door way he says, "And Scarlet," I turn back to him, "Good luck when you finally do meet my son." I smile and just bob my head as I walk out.
"What the heck. I should've gone with Haruhi! I knew I'd get lost!" I start to walk around playing with my necklace. It was a glass X made up of every color on a chocker-like leather strap. I sighed before looking up at a sign on a door. "Music Room Five? Music! Sweet!" I grip the shiny handle and twist it open. It was completely empty except for a huge bleach white piano in the middle of the room. "Wow, sorry who ever owns this but I'm playing it." I sat down and started playing the notes and singing: "We've been on the run
Driving in the sun
Looking out for number 1
California here we come
Right back where we started from
Hustlers grab your guns
Your shadow weighs a ton
Driving down the 101
California here we come
Right back where we started from
California!
Here we come!
On the stereo
Listen as we go
Nothing's gonna stop me now
California here we come
Right back where we started from
Pedal to the floor
Thinkin' of the roar
gotta get us to the show
California here we come
Right back where we started from
California!
Here we come!"
One of my favorite songs, California Here We Come by Phantom Planet. When I finished I looked up at the clock and blinked, "Holy Crap! I'm gonna be late for last class!"
*Host Club POV*
The spunky blonde King of the Hosts had called a meeting with his members, and Rachael, to discuss what ever he wanted to rant about that day. Haruhi and Rachael started to talk about Scarlet. "…Yes but she's so unusual. That's what makes her funny." Rachael defended to the twins. "She kept you AND Haruhi away from us today." Haruhi mumbled, "Maybe it's because she knows you're no good." "Aw that's not nice," both of them chorused. Hunnie picked up in the conversation as well, "Z-chan? She's sweet! Takashi and I saved her from some thugs today? Right Takashi?" Mori looked at them and said, "Yeah." The twins pouted a little, "Fine maybe she's not all bad." Haruhi shrugged, "She is new after all just let her have some time to get used to all of this." Tamaki finally snapped into it and looked at them, "Men, and Rachael, what are we talking about?" Kyouya finally stopped typing and smirked at them, "Zoe? According to my files there is no one at Ouran Academy named Zoe Nevermore. There isn't anyone named Zoe Nevermore period." Haruhi sweat dropped. The twins shouted, "We knew she was up to something!" Kyouya went on, "Her real name is Scarlet Rouge, daughter of HX Rouge." Everyone got wide eyes. The Hikaru spoke up, "Didn't he say he just have a son on his website?" The Hosts share a glance. Haruhi nodded, "Makes sense why she wanted a different name then." Kyouya scrolled down Scarlet's file, "According to this, her mother is dead and her father sent her here and made her change her name because her mother named her, not because he didn't want people to know who she was." Tamaki thought for a moment and then snapped, "That name! I just attended a benefit of his where she was singing! Men, and Rachael, are you thinking what I am thinking?" Haruhi and Rachael got what he was hinting at and they started hitting him in the head at the same time, "Leave the poor girl alone!" Tamaki recovered and struck a pose, "We make Scarlet the very first Hostess!"
