Should've Listened…

After the lunch room incident, Brianna and Carissa went back to the garden to get their stuff, then to the bathroom to fix Carissa's makeup, and then made it into the classroom right before the bell rang. The kids in the room looked at Brianna with evident fear and at Carissa with pity. Of course the two girls ignored the looks and sat together at the very back of the room.

Last class

The girls were the first ones in the class. Noticing that even the teacher was absent Brianna laid her head down to sleep. Carissa already knew to wake her up when the teacher came. After a few minutes the bell rang and the teacher and the other students rushed into the room. Tapping Brianna, Carissa stared (while drooling) at three particular teens, two gingers and a brunette.

Brianna, on the other hand, paid them no mind seeing as how she was busy trying to rub the sleep out of her eyes, she also didn't see a particular ginger sit behind her. As the teacher started his lesson, Brianna felt someone stare intently at her. She tried to ignore the staring but halfway through the class the person still hadn't stopped. Eyebrow twitching, she turned around to face the person who was staring at her; she was startled to see a familiar ginger staring and smirking at her.

"What do you want" she hissed.

"Touchy aren't we?" he mocked.

Brianna narrowed her eyes at the boy and replied: "I don't have time for this Hikaru!"

Startled, Hikaru stared at her then answered: "How'd you know I was Hikaru? And I know it wasn't a lucky guess,"

Smirking, Brianna replied: "That's for me to know and for you to find out,"

Sighing, Hikaru said: "I just wanted to remind you to go back to music room three after school today,"

Again came the feeling of dread when Hikaru mentioned the music room, and Brianna knew that meant something bad was going to happen, but brushing it off as her own silly paranoia she muttered an almost inaudible: "Yeah I know,"

Turning back around, she listened to the remainder of the teacher's lesson until the bell rang.

Everyone had already left the classroom when Brianna and Carissa made their way out.

"So Bri, we going straight home or do we need to stop at the store?" Char asked her friend, as they made their way down the corridor.

"Actually we need to stop by a…club room before we go" she replied.

"Which club?"

Fidgeting, Brianna finally replied: "the host club,"

Carissa's eyes widened, before she squealed in delight and glomped her friend.

"Oh really! Yay! This is great!"

"Yay, yay,"

"But wait…what brought this all on?"

Sighing, Brianna told her friend the conversations she had with Hikaru, when she was done Carissa smiled and said in a sing-song voice: "Wow. Maybe he likes you,"

Brianna snorted and replied: "Yay right! When pigs fly,"

Giggling, the two girls had finally made it to music room three. Sighing, Brianna pushed open the door and was this time shocked (and pleasantly surprised) that there was no blinding light and no ambushing rose petals. Doing a mental happy dance, Brianna peeked into the room to find the host club already in service. Carissa, who was growing impatient, pushed Brianna through the door and entered into the music room. Brianna was too shocked at what she saw to glare at Carissa, who was currently giggling in delight at what they were seeing. What they saw was the room designed to cater to an exotic appeal and the host club guys were dressed in exotic clothing. When everyone heard the door close, they looked at the two girls. When the girls saw them they stared at the two girls with obvious disgust, while the boys looked as if they expected the two girls all along.

"Ermm…" Brianna started, not really knowing what to do or say.

Just then, Tamaki came up to them with an excited look on his face saying: "Welcome princess! We've been expecting you!"

"You were?" Brianna asked skeptically.

Tamaki nodded his head, and then asked: "Which host would you prefer?"

Brianna cocked her head to the side and tapped her chin with her index finger.

"Well…I didn't plan on staying, I just came to check it out so maybe we should just leave?" she thought.

However, as she thought, Carissa finally snapped out of her daze and answered for them: "We'd like to try you all!"

Surprise made its way onto Brianna's face as she heard what her friend said.

"Wait!" she started to protest, but it fell on deaf ears when Tamaki nodded his head enthusiastically and replied: "What a great idea!"

Grabbing the two girls by the hand, he dragged them over to where he had been sitting and continued what he was saying: "Of course you two want to try out all the hosts until you come across the type you favor the most-correct,?"

Carissa nodded her head enthusiastically, while Brianna could only role her eyes at her friend. It was obvious that Carissa only said that so she could be with all the hosts instead of choosing one. When they reached the area where Tamaki had been sitting he plopped them down on the couch across from his spot….And so the trouble commenced…

Tamaki

Brianna fidgeted in her seat, she had been there exactly 10 minutes and she was ready to pull her hair out and scream. Tamaki had only been giving the girls fake complements and they were all falling for it! She had lost Carissa to Tamaki as soon as she had saw him.

"So annoying!" Brianna thought, a pissed look on her face.

"Is something wrong Brianna?" Tamaki asked, genuine concern on his face and in his voice.

Sighing, Brianna put on a fake smile and answered: "No, thanks for the concern but I'm alright"

"That's right Tamaki, there's no need to be concerned about her," a girl with brown hair said, in a snobbish manner.

Twitching, Brianna merely smiled at the girl and answered: "Yes you are right,"

The girl gave a smug smile but Brianna wasn't finished yet.

"I mean, he should just be a jerk and only care about himself isn't that right?" she continued, smiling a sweet-but-to-sweet-to-be-good smile.

At that point everyone was listening to the two girl's conversation intently.

"W-what?" the girl spluttered.

"I mean, saying that he shouldn't be concerned about me is your way of implying that he needs to be a selfish snob and only care about himself is what you were implying right?"

"N-no I"

"And in that event, isn't it sort of implying that you yourself are one?"

"Wh-what?"

"I mean, in most cases that means you are trying to change him into someone like you,"

At this, Brianna was met with a blank stare, so she continued: "It's been proven that humans are always trying to manipulate each other into being replicas of themselves, so when you imply something like that you are trying to manipulate the other person into being how you want them to be, which is usually how you act,"

Throughout her whole speech she never lost her to-sweet-to-be-good smile. The girl was now blushing a deep shade of red from anger and embarrassment. Everyone who had been listening couldn't help but think: "She's right,"

Brianna was still smiling when she said: "I think we should change now, right Tamaki-sempai,"

Not waiting for a reply she took Carissa's hand and headed for Kyoya, thinking: "Rich snob: 0 me: 1, thank god for giving me persuasion skills and twisted logic"

Kyoya

Brianna was beyond pissed with Kyoya. Ever since she had dragged Carissa over to him, all he had been doing was stating normal facts in a 'dreamy' voice and then asked if the girls would like to buy picture albums of all the hosts. Brianna had to stop Carissa from buying every single one of the albums Kyoya had because all of them were way overpriced.

"Money grubbing bastard," Brianna thought.

"My, Brianna you're not going to buy anything?" Kyoya asked, a fake smile plastered on his face.

"No thank you, I can use my memories to remember" she answered, whilst thinking: "Yeah right! I'm going to forget everything that's gonna happen today"

A girl looked at Brianna pitifully and said: "It's because you can't afford them right,"

The words were innocent enough but Brianna heard the hint of mockery in the girls tone, so she was still pissed off at her, plus did she really have to point out the obvious out in the open?

Smiling that to-sweet-to-be-good smile she answered: "Yeah that's it, but even if I had the money I would be using the spare money I had to help out with charity, instead of using it on stuff that I could so easily remember. But of course, you must be putting in money for charity, right?"

The girl blushed and fidgeted while Brianna just took Carissa hand and led her over to Haruhi.

Haruhi

Brianna could feel the oncoming headache, as Carissa and the others 'awwed' and swooned as Haruhi told his(?) whole life story.

"Really, these people act like they've never heard or experienced tragedy! Oh…wait they haven't," Brianna thought as she listened to the last of Haruhi's story. Carissa eyed her friend from the corner of her eye and watched for any signs that Brianna might break down and cry, not because of Haruhi's story, but because of the memories her story would bring up for her. Seeing Brianna was just listening to Haruhi's story, she drew her attention back to Haruhi just as the story ended.

"Awww! Haruhi! You must've had the worst life in the whole world!"

"Mhm! I agree you were faced with the most difficult tragedy!"

Brianna sighed, and smiled ruefully at them.

"If only they knew," she thought.

"Hey don't you think that story was just the saddest?" a brunette asked a grey haired girl.

Both Brianna and Carissa knew the three other girls at the table were ignoring them, which pissed Brianna off to no end.

"No offense to Haruhi or anything but I've heard and know that there are sadder stories then this." Brianna said, deciding to piss off the girls.

"Nuh uh! His story is the saddest! Besides who asked you?" the grey haired girl asked, her nose held high.

"His?...oh! I see" Brianna thought as she stared at Haruhi.

"No if you watch true life stories then you'd know that people had sadder lives, and I can join whenever I wanna. I'm part of this group too." Brianna replied.

"So? Doesn't mean you have to talk!"

"Okay, this girl is a total bitch," Brianna thought.

"Well, if I can't talk when I want then neither can you!"

The girl hmfed her and turned her head.

"Hey now…" Haruhi started, but was cut off.

"Come on Carissa, let's go try another host," Brianna growled, dragging Carissa toward Honey and Mori, but not before she heard Haruhi say: "That wasn't very nice you should apologize,"

"B-but Haruhi…"

Smirking, Brianna neared Honey and Mori's spot.

Honey and Mori

Brianna's headache continued to grow as she heard girls continuously scream over Honey's cuteness and Mori's protectiveness of him. Don't get her wrong, even though Brianna didn't act nor seemed like she likes cute things, she actually had a fetish for them, but at this moment her head was halfway to its bursting point, so she really couldn't relish in her secret fetish.

"Aww! I'll never grow tired of saying how cute Honey is!" a girl said to her friend, who nodded her head in response.

"I will," Brianna grumbled, rubbing her sore ears.

"Well too bad because where're not gonna stop." The same girl replied.

Smirking, Brianna said: "Then I feel bad for Honey-sempai and Mori-sempai,"

"Why is that?"

"Because, all your screaming will probably burst the poor boys ear drums,"

The two girls stared in shock, taking what she said into consideration.

Smirking, Brianna continued: "Don't let me stop you, I mean I thought that would've been obvious already,"

Then Brianna got up from her spot and dragged Carissa over to the twins. She smirked when she turned around and saw that the two girls were the only ones not screaming at something cute Honey did.

"Your cruel Brianna," Carissa muttered.

"Tell me somthin I don't know" Brianna replied.

Hikaru and Karou

Many times Brianna had almost thrown up at the things the twins were doing.

"I can't believe these girls actually like incest!" Brianna thought, as she rubbed her ears that were sore from all the screaming these girls were doing.

She glanced over at Carissa who was busy drooling over the twins.

"Probably having yaoi fantasies," she thought, rolling her eyes.

Hikaru had started telling a story about how Karou did something silly (she didn't know, she was still fighting back the barf that had built up in her throat) and as the girls started laughing Karou started complaining and saying how he didn't want anyone to know that…and so the incest resumed. As the girls screamed, Brianna groaned and clasped her hand over her mouth and leaned away from the table as she tried to hold back her barf.

"Something wrong?" Karou asked, staring at her as they finished that part of their incest.

"Ugh! If you're gonna do those things then get a room!" Brianna replied/begged, after she managed to hold down the barf. Brianna had nothing against gays or lesbians, but those two took it over the top.

"W-what?" Karou spluttered, a light blush staining his and Hikaru's cheeks.

"You know what!" Brianna replied.

"Hey! Leave Hikaru and Karou alone! They aren't gay!" a girl with reddish brown hair replied, coming to the two girl's defense.

"Really? Then what do you call what they are doing?"

"It's called brotherly love!"

Brianna sighed and rolled her eyes, which only served to piss off the girls even more.

"Your just mad because no man, woman, or any living thing will ever love you like these two love each other!" the girl yelled, she was followed by 'yays!' and 'that's right!' by her friends. Everyone in the room was now facing them as they heard the yelling.

"Oh no! that was too much of a low blow!" Carissa thought as she eyed her friend. She knew Brianna had a headache but she didn't know how far the pain had come. If it wasn't bad she might be nice, if not then…she felt sorry for the two girls.

Brianna's head was ready to explode and what the girl had said had finally took her over the edge.

Standing up from her chair she shouted: "At least if I ever do find love I know that person will love me for me! Not because of what I look like or how rich I am! And for your information if anyone did claim they loved you it's only for your money! And if you were set up in an arranged marriage its only for money! So I'm happy that I may never find love! At least I won't have to be in a marriage that only deals with money!"

She wanted badly to hit her but a voice, Jake's voice, she registered, stopped her

'Brianna…promise… me you'll… be good... in... japan'

"I promised you Jake, I won't let you down," she thought, as rubbed her aching head.

Everyone stared at the girl in shock, she was panting lightly and clutching her head in pain. Clearing his voice, Kyoya said: "Sorry ladies but the host club is now closed, please come again tomorrow."

The girls slowly got up and quietly bid the guys farewell. When they left, Brianna let out a sigh, then gritted her teeth and looked up with fire in her eyes.

"That bitch! She's fucking lucky I can't do anything!" she yelled, after the pain in her head subsided.

"Bri…you okay?" Carissa asked her friend cautiously.

"Yep I'm perfectly fine Char!" Brianna replied, giggling.

Sighing in relief, Carissa hugged her friend and started laughing.

"Omfg! I thought you were going to rip her fucking head off!"

"So did I!" Brianna laughed.

Clearing his throat to draw the two girl's attention, Kyoya pushed up his glasses and said: "Well, it seems that you are feeling well,"

Nodding her head, Brianna's eyes widened as she faced Haruhi as if a sudden thought had struck her.

"Oh yeah! Question for Haruhi! Why are you dressed as guy when you're a girl?"

Haruhi's eyes widened, Tamaki and the twins started freaking out and kept saying that Haruhi was manly but it was no use because when Haruhi's eyes to returned to their normal size, she answered : "It's because I owe an 8 million yen debt, from breaking a vase,"

"Damn rich people," Brianna muttered.

Carissa's eyes widened: "So you were a girl all along?"

"Yes," Haruhi replied.

Carissa blinked, then blinked again, then she yelled out: "NOOOO! That's not fair! I thought you were soooo hot too! How could this happen!"

Brianna rolled her eyes at her friend's stupidity.

"How did you know I was a girl?"

"It's because you suck at cross dressing. I mean no offence but I mean, whoever dressed you up was horrible, I'm surprised that no one else noticed, cuz I've seen better cross dressers in New York,"

Haruhi nodded her head in understanding. Clearing his throat, Kyoya said: "Well, now that you know Haruhi's secret we can't very well let you walk away freely. Tamaki, what do you suppose we do with them?"

"I'm sure you girls have heard of the saying-'when in Rome, do as the romans do'-you my ladies shall work as the host clubs dog until you graduate!" Tamaki replied, his attitude changed drastically.

Shocked by Tamaki's change in attitude and what he had said, the girls could only stare at him wide-eyed. That was before Brianna got her bearings back and screeched: "What!"

"Besides, you disrupted our club time because you got into fights with our customers you need to repay for that as well," Kyoya added.

"What? That's not fair! Why only me?" Brianna cried.

Laughing, Carissa said: "Sucks for you my love!"

Brianna's eyes then widened as she said: "Wait! Carissa's also at fault for that! She knows how I am! She could've prevented my out bursts!"

"What?" Carissa shrieked.

"Interesting…" Kyoya muttered.

"Wait! No! Nothing is interesting!"

"Well ladies, starting today you are official members of the host club!" Tamaki said.

Twitching, Brianna threw her hands up and let out a blood curling screech, which made all the hosts flinch, she stormed out of the room, Carissa right behind her, also fuming. Before the door closed they heard Kyoya say: "Tomorrow report to the club room as soon as class finishes."

Growling, Brianna thought: "Why oh why did I have to go to that stupid club room? Why did I listen to Hikaru? And why didn't I fucking listen to my gut! Damn it! I knew I should've listened to my gut!"
