Happy 2014! Can you believe it?! Another year! It really makes you look back on last year when everyone thought the world was going to end. Oh well, here's the next chapter. I do not own OHSHC.
Sunny's POV
"Will you stop fidgeting," whispered Haruhi. We were walking down the pathway towards the school, many of the students stopped to stare at me. Most of them were about to wave at her but their hands would stop in midair, eyes wide in surprise. "You look fine."
"That's easy for you to say," I whispered back, staying close to Haruhi. "You're not the one dressed as a girl. And to top of it Uncle just had to dress my face up." Right when I had finished my breakfast he jumped on me with a bunch of makeup, the entire time while I was video chatting with my friends.
They saw him add everything on my face and to make matters worse he put braids in my hair and tied them back with a red bow. I looked like such a girl. And I hated it.
But I couldn't say anything, he went through all that trouble to do it. So I just sucked it up and went to school like this.
I didn't think people would stare at me because of it, their eyes burning into my skin. I held my bag against my chest, like a shield, hiding behind Haruhi.
"I'll take you to class 3-A and then I'll meet up with you during lunch," she said, tugging me by the arm.
It wasn't until this morning that she told me she had to cross-dress, but I really didn't care. I would have just accepted it even with out her telling me that she had to because of some circumstances. I just shrugged it off and said that it wasn't that big a deal.
We turned a corner and I saw the twins from yesterday. They spotted us, walking over in step with each other. "Good morning, Haruhi," they greeted, in perfect sync. Then they noticed me. Their eyes lookng me up and down. They circled me, practically appraising me. "My, what a lovely girl you are, Sunlight."
One of them reached out and grabbed one of my curls. He looked me in the eyes. "What pretty hair you have."
"Cut it out, Hikaru," snapped Haruhi. "Can't you see she's stressed out enough."
She grabbed my arm, dragging me away. I looked back at them. "See you guys later." I turned to Haruhi. "Why couldn't Kyoya-senpai just put me in 2-B or any of the others?"
"He said that you would be just fine in this class. Your grades are exceptional and you'll be able to catch up in no time."
"Still..." I muttered.
It was then that we ran into him along with Blondie. "Good morning, Haruhi," cheered Blondie, just oozing with excitement. He looked over at me, crowding when he saw me. "What a pretty flower you are, Princess." He pulled out a rose, offering it to me. But I turned it down. And of course he just had to take it the wrong way and go sulk in a corner.
"Come on, Blondie," I said, trying to coax him out of his depression. "It's too early for this. Your behavior is exactly what makes us blonds look bad." I heard a grunt behind me, making me forget about Blondie. I turned to Kyoya-senpai.
"Good morning, Miss," he said. "I trust you slept well. Your jet lag must have taken its toll on you."
"Yeah, I just went to bed when it was nine."
"Now Kyoya-senpai," said Haruhi, "me and my dad are counting on you to make sure Sunny is taken care of." She turned to Blondie. "Senpai, I'm counting on you too." That got his attention.
"Fear not Haruhi, I will make sure that she is well taken care of," he said, putting an arm around me. "You have nothing to worry about, Princess."
I shrugged his arm off. "My name's Sunny, not Princess. Get it straight."
He didn't snap this time. "Only if you call me Senpai, not Blondie."
I considered this. On one hand, I enjoyed teasing him, but I didn't want him calling me Princess.
"Fine," I sighed, walking past him into the room. "Bye, Haruhi. I'll see later."
"Make sure she gets out of there. Unscathed," whispered Haruhi.
I didn't hear Senpai's answer, I was too busy getting starred at by the entire class.
"Senpai," I whispered, not wanting to set anyone in the room off. "I could use some help here."
"There's nothing to be afraid of, Sunny," he said, slinging an arm across my shoulder. I froze, paranoid that he could feel the scar next to his hand. I let his arm stay there, letting him be another shield. "Everyone, this is Haruhi's cousin from America, Prin-, I mean Sunny."
There was only a few moments of silence. Then it was gone. People started crowding around me.
"Are you really his cousin?"
"You're from America?"
"You're really cute."
"Why don't you sit next to me?"
Their questions were too fast for me to keep up with, my breathing however was keeping up just fine, quickly speeding up. I couldn't get enough air, sweat started to form on my brow. I tightened my hold on both my bag and Senpai.
"Sunny," he said, looking down at me, "are you alright?"
My tongue wouldn't cooperate, so I just nodded, trying to look calm. But it didn't work. The two must have saw the panic in my eyes, because the next thing they did was moving the crowd back. "Now, now. Everyone, you're being rude towards her." They all looked down, looking ashamed of themselves.
Ashamed? By these two? I looked at the two, wondering how powerful they were.
I wasn't able to put much thought into it before the bell rang, I sighed, relieved as I sat down next to Senpai.
I grabbed the boxed lunch from my bag, ready to go find Haruhi. I didn't get far though, Senpai caught me.
"Where are you off to?" he asked, leaning towards me.
I didn't so much as flinch as I walked by him. "To go eat lunch with Haruhi."
"What do you have in there?"
"Some food Haruhi prepared for me this morning." I expected him to say something else but heard nothing. I turned around to see him frozen, starring at the box in my hands. I lifted an eyebrow, wondering what his deal was.
"What kind of food?" he asked stiffly.
"Well, Haruhi knows that I don't eat plain white rice so she added tomatoes and some other stuff, so it's Spanish rice right now. She also made some sausages that looked like little squids."
"May I see it?" I shrugged, holding it out.
"I would go find Haruhi if I were you, Sunlight," replied Kyoya-senpai, appearing out of nowhere.
"He's right. Maybe next time, Senpai." I walked away.
I heard Senpai crying, "So close! Why?!"
I shook it off, going over to class 2-A. I opened the door, finding Haruhi at a desk in the middle of the room.
"Found you," I said, smiling. I sat down next to her, setting my lunch down. "Sorry I took so long, Senpai was wondering what you had made for me."
"No problem," she said. "Are you sure you don't want to eat in the dinning hall?"
"No, I'm alight here," I replied, not wanting to get assaulted again. "You must be really popular here though."
"What makes you say that?"
"Well, when Senpai said that I was your cousin, they all flipped out."
"Yeah, sorry about that. It's from being a Host."
"It's no problem." I picked up a spoon, getting some rice. Just when I was about to bite down, someone else beat me to it.
"That's really good, Sunny," he said, chewing.
"Hikaru, leave her alone," snapped Haruhi. "She's trying to eat."
"How come, Haruhi," asked the other twin.
I picked up the spoon again, determined to get some this time. I succeeded, but the twins were starring at me strangely. I raised an eyebrow, wondering what their problem was, as I got some more.
One of them started blushing, while the other was looking at me dumbfounded. I looked over at Haruhi, hoping she would know what was going on, but she was just as confused.
"What? Do you want some too?" I asked, holding out a spoonful of rice to the other twin.
"Um," he mumbled, looking at the spoon uncertainly. He looked over at his brother. "I think I'll pass, thanks though." I shrugged, finishing off my lunch.
Ding, ding, dong.
"I think that's my queue to leave, bye," I said, picking up my things and going back to my classroom.
"Sunny, you'll need to come with us to the music room," said Senpai. I gathered my things, following the two.
Music Room #3
"Here we are, Sun-chan," said Senpai, motioning for me to open the door.
I didn't know what my expectations were, but this definitely wasn't it.
When I opened the door, sailors were there to greet me.
Does that line sound familiar to you or what?
