Chapter 15:
A Few Weeks Later:
::Riley's POV::
Dakota was almost fine now. She still has to use a wheelchair and almost blacked out every time she stood up too fast but you know. She was mostly fine and was going around doing whatever she used to do. I was in the Host Club, just waiting for something to do when a girl around a bit older than me walked in, clutching a notebook. Her light brown hair was pulled into a loose ponytail, with long locks of hair framing her face. She looked around, like she was lost or something. I strode up to her,
"'Sup? You new here?"
"Yeah. Well, I mean...you know, to this club. Anyway, d'ya know where Tamaki is?"
"Oooh, you wanting him eh?" I chuckled, nudging her arm, "He's over in the middle, right...there." I said, pointing directly at him. The girl just nodded,
"Thanks." she said with a slight bow.
As soon as we stopped talking, she started speed-walking over to Tamaki's main table. After a little while, I decided to walk with her. It took me a couple minutes, but I managed to find her,
"So...I haven't seen you around much."
"What year are you in?"
"First."
"Well there's your problem." she said simply. She seemed almost...cold.
Bitch… I thought to myself.
We must've been walking faster than I thought, because before I knew it we were at Tamaki's usual place. As usual, Tamaki was flirting with some chick. I looked over to the girl, expecting her to say something. She just stood there, drumming her thumb on the book. I looked back at Tamaki. Of course he hadn't noticed us yet. I patted his shoulder with the back of my hand. He turned to us and smiled happily,
"What is it my pr-"
"You call me princess one more time and I will end you."
"Ah, Riley. What brings you here?"
I nudged the girl's arm, "This chick wants to see you."
He looked over at the girl, "Well hello there. I'm a bit busy at the moment, but I could always make room for one more~" he said with a wink.
She looked away for a moment, "Uh, you forgot your book in Science. I always hear about you working at this club, so I thought I'd bring it to you here."
She held the book out to Tamaki, tucking some of her hair behind her ear. Tamaki smiled and took the notebook,
"Why, you're one of the sweetest princesses here! Come, have a seat."
The girl shook her head, "Thanks, but I'll pass. I've got to go-"
"Nonsense, my princess. There's always time."
In one swift movement, Tamaki had managed to pull the new chick onto his lap, her legs bent over the arm of the couch. He held her chin between his index finger and thumb. Her eyes were practically bulging out of her skull, the notebook still in her hand,
"Come now, this is our time." he said in a low voice.
The other girls squealed in delight at his romantic gesture. The new girl sat there for a moment with the same expression before uttering one word,
"NOPE."
She dropped the notebook on the table and jumped off of the couch before running off to the door. I turned to Tamaki and rested my hands on my hips,
"Nice going Tamaki. You need to stop raping people."
Tamaki sat there, his expression blank. I rolled my eyes and tried to follow the new girl. Which reminded me, I needed to find out her name.
Now where the hell was she...?
::Dakota's POV::
I hated that re-test. So. Fucking. Much. I sighed happily,
"At least I'll be seeing Riley soon..." I said to no-one in particular.
As I got closer, I heard the faint sound of someone saying 'Nope' repeatedly. When I reached the door, there was a girl practically smashing through the doors to the third music room, then slamming the doors behind. She leaned against the opposite wall and sighed. I gave a small wave and she smiled back. As I wheeled into the Host Club, I was greeted by Riley almost running into me,
"Whoa jeez, fatty," Riley said, chuckling a bit. I smiled,
"So hey, what's going on?"
"Tamaki raped some poor lady." She said, resting a hand on her hip.
I sighed, "Again?" I asked jokingly. Riley nodded,
"Yep...Think we should make sure she's not scarred for life?"
"Probably a good idea."
I turned around and poked my head out of the main doors. I looked around for a moment before noticing the girl half sitting on the window sill, looking outside. She had her headphones on, so I waved. She seemed to snap out of her daze and look over. She popped her ear-buds out,
"Uh…hi."
"Heeeyyyy," I started, "you okay?"
She shrugged, "Well, aside from Tamaki throwing himself at me, yeah I'm fine."
I wheeled out of the room completely now, "Yeah, he does that..."
Riley walked in behind me and placed her elbow on my shoulder,
"So, who are you anyway?"
"Oh, I'm Rowena. Sorry we didn't have a proper meeting before...Riley?"
"It's cool, I'm the exact opposite of proper anyw- Wait. How'd you know my name?"
She rubbed the back of her neck,
"Uh, I heard you and Tamaki talking. He said your name once or twice."
Riley looked down, "Oh."
Things were quiet for a moment. Awwwkwarrddd... I thought. Rowena clapped her hands together.
"So...How 'bout them Lakers?" she asked.
Riley tilted her head, "…who?"
"Th-they're a team in baseball...I think," she scratched her jaw, "I don't know actually."
"Well anyway, I'm Dakota and do you want to like…hang out or something? Least we can do for having Tamaki feel you up." I suggested.
Rowena chuckled, "Technically the least you could do is nothing, but sure, why not?" I turned to Riley,
"Well then, what should we do with Rowena?" She took a deep breath and looked deep in thought. She waited a few minutes before shrugging,
"I dunno. We can make her go to…a dominatrix place…like…thing…I guess…" Rowena shook her head,
"Sounds fun but no thanks. I don't like being dominated by ladies I don't know." I nodded,
"Ya I don't like being dominated in general."
"Oh really?" I heard Hikaru ask from behind us. We all looked back at the door to the Host Club, seeing Hikaru, Kaoru and Mori standing there. Riley frowned,
"How long were you guys there?" Kaoru smiled,
"Since Riley said she wanted to go to a dominatrix place." He nudged Mori's arm with his elbow, "Looks like your girlfriend likes to be dominated by ladies~." Riley nodded,
"Yes Mori. It's true. I've only been going out with you so that I could…secretly want women…behind your back…I think that's what I've been trying to…no wait. I don't get it anymore." I shook my head,
"Riley? Just…just no." Rowena leaned a little closer to us,
"Is…is Riley mentally deficient?" Riley looked offended,
"No. If I was mentally deficient, I would've missed." Rowena laughed,
"Lol Nathan~! That's amazing." She held out her fist, "Bro-fist." Riley hit her fist with Rowena's fist,
"YAY MISFITS~!" Then she turned back to Mori, "Now anyway, no. I don't like it when women come over and physically abuse me for sexual pleasuring things. I like dem hotdogs for your information." He nodded slowly,
"…okay…?" Hikaru smiled at me,
"So…you don't like being dominated?" I shook my head,
"Nope. I already told you, I'm the penis in this relationship." Rowena chuckled,
"It's a dick in a box~." I high fived her,
"Good song man." Riley hugged Mori,
"Okay, we're going now. TTFN." She grabbed Rowena's hand and my hand, pulling us away,
"Come on! Let's go bros!"
::Later ((Riley's POV))::
We were sitting in my living room, just kind of chilling and eating ice-cream, "So, what do you like Rowena?" I asked her curiously. She shrugged,
"I dunno. OH! How often are you guys on the Internet?"
"A lot." Dakota answered for the both of us. Rowena smiled,
"I wanna show you guys something amazing." I scooted over to her,
"Whatcha gonna show us?" She giggled,
"Gublerland." Dakota and I freaked out,
"OH MY GOD MATTHEW GREY GUBLER!" Dakota yelled.
"OH MY GOD SPENCER REID!" I yelled along with her. We all had a freak out for a few minutes. I jumped up and down, "LET'S WATCH CRIMINAL MINDS! I HAVE ALL THE SEASONS!"
"OH MY GOD WE SHOULD!" Rowena yelled.
And then we spent the rest of the night watching Criminal Minds and becoming BFFS.
