Lolita

What greeted Lolita on the other side of the doors was unexpected. Rose petals fell from the ceiling, and six figures chorused a "welcome". She stood still, not sure how to react. She barely noticed that Tamaki had sauntered passed her and towards the group. The boys standing across the room broke their formation.

"You're late Tono." A set of twins stated with bored voices.

"Yes, it's unlike you Tamaki." A brunette stated, pushing up his glasses.

"I apologize my friends, but I was helping a lonely princess!"

Tamaki turned towards Lolita, who was still standing at the door. He sauntered back over to her, took her hand, and led her shocked self over towards the other boys. Once they were decently close to the boys, Tamaki stopped and placed a hand on her shoulder.

"This young princess was all alone, so I promised to be her friend."

Tamaki's explanation was just fuzz in the background as Lolita tried to comprehend what was going on, this looked like a boys club. Why would she want to visit a boys club? Her gaze traveled to each of the boys before her, so odd. She recognized the twins; she must have a class with one of them or something. The small feminine brunette didn't seem to fit in with everyone else; she'd have to ask about that. Next were the short blonde and the tall brunette, interesting. Finally was the brunette with glasses, what was he writing? Lolita mentally shook her head, from the look on his face, she didn't want to know. She snapped out of her world at the sound of her name.

"So I thought I'd bring Lolita-chan with me to club, since she's new and all."

"Tamaki-sempai, you can't just go around and drag girls to the club."

The effeminate brunette even sounded like a girl.

"I asked politely Haruhi."

A glance at Tamaki showed he was pouting.

As Lolita observed the interaction between Tamaki and the small brunette, Haruhi, she felt a tug on her skirt. Turning her attention towards the tug, she found herself looking down at the small blonde. Behind him stood the tall brunette.

"Yes?"

The blonde smiled.

"My name is Haninozuka, but you can call me Hunny-sempai, who are you?"

"It's nice to meet you Hunny-sempai, my name is Lolita Niyama."

Lolita smiled at Hunny's happy face.

"It's nice to meet you too Lolita-chan! Would you like to have some cake with me and Takashi?"

Hunny pointed to the tall brunette.

Lolita's face lost its smile.

"I'm sorry Hunny-sempai, but I can't eat cake."

Hunny's eyes began to tear up.

"Why?"

Lolita felt so guilty.

"I'm really sorry, but cake makes me sick. I'm allergic to milk."

Hunny stared for a moment before his smile returned.

"That's ok Lolita-chan! I don't want you to get sick; maybe we could have tea instead?"

"That would be fine Hunny-sempai."

Hunny cheered as he grabbed Lolita's hand and guided her towards a table near one of the large windows. The tall brunette, Takashi, brought tea for the three of them to share.

"Are you new here Lolita-chan?"

"Yes, I transferred here from a privet school in London."

Hunny's eyes lit up.

"Really!? London! Isn't that neat Takashi? Wait, did you come here by yourself?"

"No, my mother came here for work and brought me with her."

"Oh really…"

An arm settled on her left shoulder.

"What does she do?"

An arm settled on her right shoulder.

Lolita glanced up at the twins before answering.

"My mother is a costume designer, and she's here working on a movie."

"Wha! That's so cool Lolita-chan!"

Hunny began jumping up and down in his seat, while the twins glanced at each other in confusion.

"But why would a director want a British costume designer?"

They asked in unison, only to have the brunette with glasses appear followed by Tamaki and Haruhi. The boy with glasses opened the book he had been writing in earlier and began reading out loud.

"Lolita Niyama, age 15, class 1-A, transfer from London. She's the daughter of Tsukine Niyama, a costume designer, and Richard Howell, a play write. She has one half sibling, age 18, and actress. She has dual citizenship, in Japan and England."

Silence followed, Lolita pondered how the brunette knew all of that about her, but she decided that she didn't care. Those things about her weren't really important enough to keep secret. Suddenly, Tamaki made a noise.

"Class 1-A right, Kyoya?"

"Correct Tamaki, the same class as Haruhi and the twins."

The silence returned the quiet before the storm Lolita assumed.

"Hikaru! Kaoru!"

"Yeah tono?"

"You two are in the same class as Lolita-chan! Why haven't you two talked to her!?"

"'Cause she just sits there and reads all day."

The "talking in unison" was starting to get on her nerves.

"That's no excuse!"

"Why aren't you yelling at Haruhi too?"

"Yeah, Haruhi didn't talk to her either."

"That's… Haruhi has to study to stay in school, not like you two miscreants!"

Lolita sighed; all this arguing must be tiresome. She sipped some of her tea, blocking out the voices behind her. So much for making new friends, Lolita supposed. She glanced at Hunny, and retracted that. She continued to talk with him and Mori-sempai, the banter in the background a distant buzz. This little adventure hadn't been a total waste, she knew some people in her class now, that was something. Albeit… she probably wouldn't interact with two of them, she didn't have a true opinion of Haruhi yet. She would probably chat with Tamaki in the hall from time to time, she wasn't sure she could handle his spastic personality all the time. Hunny seemed nice, always cheerful it seemed. Nope, not a waste at all.

"But tono, who would want to talk to a weirdo like her? She's even more of a bookworm than Haruhi!"

The world seemed to screech to a halt, like in those old cartoons. Lolita sighed, setting down her tea cup. The conversation behind her vanished from her awareness, not even noticing she wasn't the only one who took offense to that sentence. She reached down beside her and picked up her bag, placing it in her lap.

"I'm sorry Hunny-sempai, but I forgot I actually have something I should be working on. I have to finish a project to get caught up in my Literature class."

Hunny's smile fell.

"Really? Ok… Will you come back and have tea with me and Takashi again?"

"If you want me to, then sure."

Lolita stood from her seat and gave a bow before turning to Tamaki, who was trying to keep Haruhi calm, and not succeeding very well.

"I thank you for bringing me along, Tamaki-sempai, but I really must be going now."

"Huh… Oh! Lolita-chan, don't listen to what this mischievous little boy says. "

"It's not that Tamaki-sempai; I have homework I have to do. I'll see you tomorrow."

With another bow, Lolita took her leave of the host club. Perhaps now, she could finish her book.

A/N: Ok, so that's chapter 2... And I will be honest... I wasn't too worried about writing for the hosts, since they really didn't talk much this time... except Kyoya, I'm terrified of writing for Kyoya. T.T . Anyway, please review!
