I thoroughly despise you all. I have a History exam tomorrow and instead of revising I've been procrastinating hugely by writing fanfiction :(

Gah.

ANYWAY

This chapter I am listening tooooo: Orpheo looks back - Andrew Bird, and Down we go - Bosco Delrey.


The exchange students had arrived on the Wednesday and were given a day to adjust, so Haruhi went to my lessons with me on the Thursday.

I can't imagine she liked it much, as I hadn't really taken subjects that she was interested in for my A levels. Despite this, she seemed vaguely intrigued in the book that we were reading in my English Literature class, called The Go-Between.

Since that was the last lesson I'd have on the book I gave my copy to Haruhi.

Some of the other members of the host club turned up in a dew of my lessons with their exchange partners; which was certainly interesting...

Tamaki and Honey showed up in my double maths class. The things we were doing were way too complicated for Tamaki, and instead he spent the whole lesson distracting everyone in class. The lucky bugger didn't even get in trouble with the teacher, mainly because after having a short conversation with the violet-eyed boy, she turned into a huge pile of mush and got flustered whenever he looked over to her.

It was embarrassing for everyone involved.

Kyoya and Hikaru turned up in my Art class; which is when I discovered that Hikaru's artistic ability stretched as far as sketching patterns or outfits on vaguely human shaped forms.

When faced with observational drawing or painting, the object would generally end up looking like a potato.

Kyoya on the other hand, presented a beautiful painting by the end of class and naturally, had to brush off all of the girls who were gushing over it and himself.

Mori ended up in my Art History class, and his exchange partner turned out to be one of the few people I could tolerate in this school - James Bird.

James' family owned a wide variety of art museums across the country, and you could always rely on him for an interesting conversation.

What surprised me most though, was the fact that Mori seemed genuinely interested in the subject. He even jotted down a few notes into a small book.

I still hadn't heard him speak though.

Today we were taking a trip to Alton Towers - a theme park up North.

I'd been before, and the park had been painfully busy. You could barely go on any of the rides without queueing for hours on end.

Due to it being a school day though, I was relying on the fact that students would be attending classes and therefore could not be at the park.

We were all loaded onto a coach, sitting next to our respective partners. Or, we were meant to be anyway.

Kyoya and Tamaki were sitting together, so that Arabella could flirt with Tamaki's exchange partner.

Neither of the Ouran boys seemed to be complaining though.

More than usual anyway.

"Smile Summer!" Honey squealed as he turned in his seat and snapped a photo of Haruhi and me.

He did this to most people on the bus throughout the journey. I stared out of the window for most of it, with one head phone in my ear. Haruhi had the other one, although I'm not convinced that she liked my music. I can't say I blame her. My music taste varied from folk, to rock, to classical, to reggae, to local rappers.

Not local as in from the school, although I would definitely pay to see that...

Occasionally a cute indie song or a retro electronica song would come on and Haruhi would ask me the name of it. I assumed that meant she liked it and gradually learnt what she liked and disliked when it came to music.

"Summer! Summer, Summer, Summer!" Tamaki chanted from behind me. I turned to face him.

"Tamaki," I said, as a sign of acknowledgement.

"Summer. Are we nearly there yet?" He asked, grinning annoyingly.

I rolled my eyes at him. "No, we've still got about half an hour to go."

He harrumphed and folded his arms.

I turned back to the window.

"Hey, Summer?" Tamaki prodded my arm.

"What?" I said, without looking around.

"What are you listening to?" He asked, sticking his head between the two seats Haruhi and I were sitting in,

I looked down at my iPod and replied - "Bosco Delrey."

He scrunched up his nose, causing Haruhi to giggle.

"What's that?" He asked.

I pulled out my headphone and gave it to him.

Bad idea.

He didn't give it back for the rest of the journey.

If you've ever taken four children, hyped up on sugar, to a theme park, then you'll understand what I'm dealing with right now.

We'd already been there an hour, and Tamaki, the Twins and Honey had wanted to try every ride.

"Let's go on that one!" Tamaki cried, pointing to the biggest roller coaster he could find on the map and jumping up and down.

Again, the Ouran boys had been ditched by their exchange partners.

Even James Bird had ditched Mori - the sanest of them all.

Although, the guy doesn't exactly talk, so I suppose I can empathize.

Tamaki and Honey were giving me the biggest puppy dog eyes that they could muster up.

"It does actually look like a lot of fun." I sighed.

Tamaki squealed.

"No. No way." Haruhi shook her head. "I just ate, I don't want to puke it up all over myself thank you very much.'

The twins rolled their eyes simultaneously.

"It's not like it would ruin your outfit," Kaoru said.

"In fact it might improve it." Hikaru laughed. I found that I could distinguish them by voice now, Kaoru's was slightly kinder and maybe a little higher.

The twins both grabbed Haruhi and dragged her towards the roller coaster.

Tamaki followed behind them, waving his arms around and shouting something in Japanese. (Give me back my daughter you shady twins ;) )

Kyoya then muttered something under his breath and followed after them.

Honey grabbed my hand and started pulling me towards the ride.

I noticed Mori had sat on the bench and wasn't following us.

"Scared of a little roller coaster?" I called, laughing. He shook his head but smiled slightly.

If he wasn't scared, then why wasn't he coming on?

I realised as we got to the queue that there was a height restriction, and Honey was too short.

Mori wasn't going on because Honey couldn't.

"Awh," Honey sighed as he saw the sign. "This always happens." His head dropped and he began to walk back to Mori.

I bit my lip, still standing by the height restriction sign.

Then I gave in, following Honey. His eyes lit up when he saw me joining him and Mori.

"Why aren't you going on the ride?" He asked.

He was so adorable.

I shrugged nonchalantly, "changed my mind, looks boring."

Honey grinned widely and grabbed my hand again, "let's go find another ride then!"

He dragged me off towards the spinning teacups, and Mori followed us silently.

Again, I had a lot to learn about the members of this host club. Who knew that Honey was so strong?

Everyone apart from me apparently..

I staggered off of the tea cup ride having never been spun so fast in my life; I'm honestly surprised that Honey didn't break that little wheel in the middle of the cup by spinning us so fast.

"Summer? Are you okay?" Honey asked from beside me.

I nodded, "just need to sit down."

Honey guided me towards the bench where Mori was sitting.

As we got closer, Mori stood up to meet us. He took one look at me and grabbed my other arm to keep me steady.

"Mitsukuni, what did you do?" Mori's voice was incredibly deep and I couldn't help but smile.

"You talked," I giggled slightly as I sat down. "You've got a nice voice..."

I was insanely dizzy.

Mori just smiled and shook his head as he sat down beside me.

"You're looking a little green," Honey tilted his head to the side and looked at me.

"I'll go get some water." Mori got up swiftly and turned back to us before he left. "Stay," he commanded.

I chuckled, "woof." And then leant back against the bench, letting my head loll back.

Mori returned shortly with water, and then made me sit up and drink it.

The boy was incredibly stubborn.

We sat and waited on the bench until the others came to find us.

Haruhi resembled myself - when I was fresh off of the ride with Honey.

She came and sat next to Mori, grabbing the water bottle off of me as she walked past and gulping it down as she took her seat.

I silently laughed at her.

"Summer, you wimped out!" Kaoru pouted.

"We're disappointed." Hikaru continued.

"I didn't wimp out, although Honey has thoroughly turned me against rides for the rest of my life."

Honey's eyes welled up.

"No! Honey I was just kidding!" I backtracked quickly. The tears hastily disappeared and he grinned.

The rest of the day went similarly and I was forced to sit next to Kyoya on the way back so that Tamaki could sit next to his 'daughter'.


Babadadaaaa

Yay theme parks.

I've never actually been to Alton Towers so I don't know whether they have the tea cup rides.

Pretty shoddy place if they don't though. What's a theme park without a teacup ride?

Again, I despise all of you for making me not revise and write you fanfiction instead. I just feel pressured when people follow or favourite my story :'(

Should probably sleep soon so that I don't doze off during my History exam tomorrow.

Happy reviewing ;)
