I awoke and got dressed to get ready for my day with Elliot. He arrived shortly after and we went to the supermarket. We went to go develop the pictures at the photo booth. "Nothing feels better than having your hand in mine." He said. I looked at him and smiled.
"I love you." I told him. He gave me a quick kiss on the lips. We walked around for a bit while waiting for the pictures to develop. Once time was up we went and got the pictures. We went home and spent the day dancing to various songs. Soon the day was over and I had Elliot sleep over. (All they did was sleep. Trust me).
~Wensday~
It was Wensday after school at the host club. I was sent to go get some coffee with Haruhi.
"So how are you and Elliot?" Haruhi asked.
"We're doing fine. We haven't spent as much time as we did Saturday." I told her.
"How come?" She asked.
"Elliot said he's spending time with his family, since he was with his grandmother back in the U.S. and here he's living with his mom and dad but today after the host club we are hanging out." I told her as we checked out. We went back to Ouran and I saw Elliot with another girl in the gardern. It looked like he was flirting with her. He was holding her hand and talking to her about nature. I couldn't stop staring.
"What are you looking at?" Haruhi asked as she looked at what I was looking at. I lookedaway and a tear rolled down my face.
"Rexi is that one of his family memebers? I've only heard about Elliot through your letters and I think that he would never cheat on you." Haruhi reassured.
"Maybe but I'm not sure." I told her as we continued to walk. Haruhi tried to get my mind off of Elliot and the girl. We then reached the music room and the room was empty.
"Why so glum Rex-chan?" Honey asked.
"Oh it's nothing Honey Senpai. I'll be fine." I told him.
"Do you want to have some cake with me?" He asked.
"Sure Honey Senpai." I told him. He grabbed my hand and lead me to a table and Mori followed us.
"What one do you want to have Rex-chan?" Honey asked.
"Um I'll have the strawberry one." I told him. He handed me the piece of cake and chose a chocolate one. We started to eat and talk about different types of cakes.
Cat walked up to Haruhi "Did anything happen while you were out?" Cat asked.
"Well we did see Elliot with another girl. He holding her hand." Haurhi told her.
"That #!*% ! I'll kill him!" Cat exclaimed. Then Hikaru and Kaoru came up behind Haruhi and each put an arm around her. "How do you know that he was just friends with her?" Hikaru asked.
"I'm not sure but something has changed about Elliot. I'm not sure what it is but when he came back something changed." Cat explained.
"How did they meet?" Kaoru asked.
"You'd have to ask Rexi about that one. She does a better job of telling it than I do." Cat explainedtold them.
"Hey Rex you think you could tell us how you and Elliot met?" Hikaru and Kaoru said at the same time. I looked over to the twins. "I guess." I told them.
"Yay! Rex-Chan is going to tell a story!" Honey said.
"Ok so it all started when I was fourteen about to turn fifteen. I had joined a dance class that was co-ed. Elliot joined the same day as me. He was a transfer from Britain, so he was in my dance class and some of my classes at school. I talked to him because we were partners for some of the dances. I started to develop a crush on him because he had so many nice qualities." I started.
"Like what kind of qualities?" Honey asked.
"Well he was nice, funny, smart, a great dancer, his accent made me melt, he always could read my mind, we could collaborate, he was considerate, he could tell that something was wrong in an instant and so forth." "Ah young love. Isn't wonderful?" Tamaki questioned. I glared at him. He hid behind Haruhi. "Anyway, the dance class I was in was having a party. Everyone in the class was invited. So when the party came up everyone was there. As the night started to progress of dancing and talking somebody suggested to play seven minutes in heaven. Do you guys know what that game is?" I asked. They shook their heads. "Seven minutes in heaven is when you pick out of a hat or spin a bottle to go in a closet with someone for seven minutes. You can do whatever in that closet for seven minutes. Any I was told to go first and I spun the bottle and it landed on Elliot. We went into the closet and we kissed. That's how our relationship got started. Most of videos on my old channel have me and Elliot dancing." I told them. Tamaki started to cry
"What a beautiful story!" He exclaimed. I looked at him it wasn't an evil glare but it was a questionable look. "It's really not that captivating unless if you're into love stories like that." I said. Then Elliot came through the doors "There's the love of my life" He said. I looked up at him. "I have to ask you soemthing." I told him.
"What is it?" He asked. I got up and walked up to him.
"What were you doing with another girl inthe garden today?" I told him as I was looking at him almost tearing.
"Here? I was talking to her. Explaining on my views of nature." He told me.
I looked at the floor "Then why were you holding her hand? It looked like you were flirting with her." I told him.
"Because I was helping her up. She's very clumsy. Wait, were you spying on me? Do you not trust me?" He asked.
"I trust you. I was walking back here after I went to go get instant coffee with Haruhi but one thing I sure know is that you were flirting with her! I know what you look like when you are flirting with me!" I yelled at him now crying. I started running away from him but he grabbed my wrist. I looked at him "I will never cheat on you as long as I live. I love you too much love." He told me as he brought me into an embrace. He kissed me on my forehead.
"Lying #!*% ." Cat mumbled.
Haruhi looked at her "How can you be so sure?" She asked.
"He seemed totally different before this. I honestly don't think that he's the same Alec that both her and I knew before. He's changed." Cat explained.
"Let's go home." I told him. He grabbed my hand and we left with Cat. Once we arrived home Cat went and did her homework and studied while Elliot and I started to work on dances. Then out of nowhere he asked me something that I wasn't expected. "After the masquerade you want to get a room at a nearby hotel?" He asked. I looked at him
"Elliot I'm not ready for that. I don't want sex to ruin our relationship either." I told him.
"Ok. I have to go it's getting late and I have homework to do." He told me as he gave me a kiss on the cheek.
~Saturday~
I was spending the day with Haruhi since Elliot was going to a movie with his parents. "But I still don't know why he would ask that. He never asked that before when important dances at school were coming up and all of a sudden he asks now. I just don't get it!" I told her. There was a moment of silence. "I'm sorry if I'm bothering you with my problems. I can't go to my mom or Cat you're the only one who I could go to for the I'm sorry I'm bothering you on a Saturday you must have stuff to do." I told her.
"It's fine besides I'm always here to listen if you need me to. I can at least I can get stuff done with you." Haruhi told me. We continued shopping until she was done. We then headed to her house and she told me about everything that happened with her and the host club. We soon got to Haruhi's house and I helped her with her chores. We had fun as we joked around between chores. Soon the day was over and I went home. "How was your day?" Cat asked.
"Amazing." I told her. I then went up to my room and went to bed out of exhaustion.
~Friday the day of the Masquerade ball~
School went by quickly as did the host club. I was now waiting to go home with Elliot.
"So Rex-Chan are you going to go with us to the ball?" Honey asked.
"No I was plaining on showing up by myself but I will be sure to find you and say hello Honey Senpai." I told him.
"Are you going to be wearing that purple dress you bought?" Hikaru and Kaoru asked.
"No, I'm wearing a dress that no one has saw except Haruhi. Actually Harhui, I'll stop by to take a picture with you. I'll put it in my scrapbook." I told her.
"So you'll have your camera?" Hikaru asked. I nodded. "All we have to do is to look for a girl with a camera." Kaoru said.
"Oh I won't have it out and you won't see me. Trust me." I told them as Elliot entered. I smiled at gave him a kiss. He dropped Cat and I at our house and we went inside. I started to get ready. The first thing was that I dyed my hair a darker red and I added black streaks in it I had my hair more curly than it was when it was naturally curly. I then did my make-up. I put in my greenish-gray contacts and put on red eye shadow and mascara. I put on my high low dress with red heels, red elbow gloves (Like the picture below but only in red and black) and my red and black masquerade mask. (Like the one below)
I went downstairs with my camera. "How do I look? Do I look unrecognizable?" I asked them. Cat took the camera from my hands and snapped a picture of me. "You look wonderful darling. Have fun." Dad said. I smiled and gave both of them a kiss. Mika came back in from putting my back up dress and my back up mask. I had Haruhi's mask in my hand. I then left with my camera and went to Haruhi's house. I got out of the limo and wentup to her apartment. I knocked on the door and Ranka answered. "And who may you be?" He asked.
"Hi Uncle Ranka, it's Rexi. I came by to drop off Haruhi's mask and to take a picture with her." I told him. A wide smile grew on his face. He gave me a hug and invited me inside.
"Haruhi, Rexi is here." He said as I stepped inside as my shoes off. She appeared "Wow Rexi you look different!" She said.
"I did it to surprise Elliot." I told her. We got together and Ranka took a picture of us.
"You can't tell anyone what I look like. I really don't want to bribe you but I'll give you fancy tuna." I told her. She nodded. I then left before the host club could pick up Haruhi. I drove around for a while giving the host club enough time to get there. Once their time was up I told me driver to go to the dance. I went inside and started to walk down the grand staircase. Everyone stopped and looked at me. Then a spotlight was placed on me. I heard various whispers of "Who is she' "Does she even go here?" "Is she a transfer?". I continued to walk down the stairs and looked through the crowd. I didn't see Elliot yet so I started to walk towards the desert table when I met Kyoya.
"Why hello there Kyoya Senpai. You enjoying the party?" I asked him.
"You look nice. Tamaki hasn't bothered me yet about the twins or Haruhi but I know it will happen soon." He told me.
"I wouldn't hold my breath. I'd enjoy the quiet while I can. Sooner or later the twins will cause something to happen to have Tamaki Senpai running to you. I'll keep the twins occupied when I see them." I told him. I then continued to walk to the desert table. I saw Honey and Mori.
I gave them a smile and Honey smiled back at me. He went up to me. "Hi would you like to have some cake with me?" He asked.
"Not right now but definately later Honey Senpai. You can look for me later and I will eat cake with you." I told him as I smiled. He then skipped back to Mori. I looked around but saw no sign of Elliot. I then saw Haruhi, Hikaru, Kaoru and Tamaki flirting with a girl nearby. I went over to them. The twins looked at me.
"Who are you?" They asked in unison.
"That will remain a mystery to those who can't figure it out." I told them. I then looked at Haruhi.
"I'm looking for someone and I was wondering if you might have seen him?" I whispered to her. She shook her head no. "Well would you guys mind if I stand with you guys while I wait for someone?" I asked.
"I don't think it would hurt." Haruhi said.
"So are you guys going to dance?" I asked.
"I only wish to dance with you Kaoru." Hikaru said as he embraced Kaoru
"Oh Hikaru." Kaoru said. Then a bunch of girls sighed. I rolled my eyes. I turned around and saw Elliot with another girl. I then started to walk up to them.
"Where's your girlfriend?" She asked.
"I don't know but I'm dumping her for you. She was so stupid I can't beleive she couldn't realize that I was with you. She is so dumb." Elliot told her. Tears started to form in my eyes. He then gave her a kiss. I was filled with anger and sadness. I then ran by Haruhi and the twins to the balcony outside. I was gripping the railing crying. "I'm so stupid!" I told myself.
"What was with her?" Hikaru asked as him, Kaoru and Haruhi looked at the direction she went in to see Elliot and a girl. "I'll go to see what is wrong." Haruhi said as she was about to go and see Rexi but then Kaoru stopped her. "You should get punch with Hikaru." Kaoru said as he pushed the two in the direction of the buffet table. Kaoru then went out to where Rexi was.
I was crying when I heard someone step beside me. "Hey what's wrong?" Kaoru asked.
"Elliot was cheating on me." I told him as I looked up at him.
"R-r-rexi that's you?" He sturtted.
"Yes. Why do I look bad? That's probably why he didn't like me anymore." I told him.
"No you don't and whatever reason he would want to break-up with you is stupid." Kaoru told me. I looked up at him. "Thank you Kaoru." I told him as I gave him a hug and a kiss on the cheek. I grabbed his hand and lead him back into the dance. I saw Hikaru and Haruhi walking back. I let go of Kaoru's hand and smiled at Haruhi and Hikaru. "You ok?" Haruhi asked.
"I'm fine but I would like a dance with someone." I told her. Then out of nowhere Tamaki came over. "I shall escort you to a dance my princess." Tamaki told me.
"Thank you Tamaki Senpai." I told him as I took his hand. I danced with Tamaki for one song and then I went to have cake with Honey. I had a grand time at the ball. I got to dance with everyone in the host club. Soon the night was over and I went home with the group. We laughed and had a good time. I got home and changed. I went to bed with dreams of happiness.
