Chapter 2

-Twins and Cake-

"Alex," She whispers my name.

I could barely see her, only the silhouette shape of her form sitting next to the glass window. We were alone in her room as I watch her sitting in the same spot near the window while minute turns into hours until she summons me.

"Yes, my Lady?" I answered.

"You can call me Mother if you like." She said, as she briefly turns her attention to me before looking back out of the window. "You are my daughter, after all, Alexandria."

Biting my bottom lips, I nervously replied, "As you wish...Mother."

The silence grew.

No one spoke for a moment. My Lady is such a kind woman. She has done so much for me and I owe my life to her. From the first time I met my Lady, I knew that I wanted nothing more than to protect her. Disguising myself as a gentleman for the sake of this family. I was the second heir of this family if the first son failed to accept his role and responsibility. I will be taking his place as the second heir.

For years, I've been trained to act like a gentleman. How to treat a lady at a daily crisis, and so which it may be. I was under protection from the public. My name was changed, my recent past was erased, but mostly my gender was sealed shut from the world. I am now known as a seventeen-year-old, Alexander Kinmichi. The adopted child of Anne-Sophie Grantaine; mother of Tamaki Suoh and husband of Yuzuru Suoh.

"Do you miss her? Your mother I mean." Anne-Sophie suddenly asks me. Her words were sincere and soft, causing my heart to ache.

"Yes," I said breathlessly.

I went up and stood next to her. Also, watching the view throughout the city lights. It shimmers in brilliance, and sparkle against the descending twilight. The city is beautiful by the riches of its agriculture and fine designs of many constructed buildings. This is the rich and beautiful France.

"How far are you willing to save her?" She asked.

"In a heartbeat."

"Hm."

I took a peek at her and smiled. "Why may I ask? You should already know my answer as I want to protect her as much as I want to protect you."

"Then will you look after my son too and maybe bring him back to me?" She overlapped my question.

I was taken back. "Madam."

"You'll watch over him for me, won't you?" Her pressing words deepen inside my heart and squeeze it towards sympathy.

I knelt down on my behalf, and hold onto her right hand. "With my life."

The bell rung for our lunch break, and I jump in surprise. It startled me when I stop and stare about the classmates as they exited the room with one more look at me, and then left. Tamaki Suoh gives me one of my charming smiles before leaving the classroom. Fortunately for me, we have a lot of the same classes together.

I sigh. "I find this situation rather troublesome."

Socializing with people isn't my strong suit. I thought.

I stroll out the classroom after the last group of students and followed them to the cafeteria. I didn't bother to stay in line. Instead, I went to the vending machine and bought myself a cup of coffee. I waiting for my cup to fill, and sensed two presence behind me. I didn't turn around but knew they were talking to me.

"So you're the new kid." A voice said, probably a male.

I grab my cup filled with coffee and added cream and sugar. Not bothering to reply to their incompetent remark.

"I don't really see why everyone is getting so wrapped up about a boring looking guy like him." Another voice said.

My face twisted in annoyance, and I turn myself around to glare at them. To my surprise, they were the Hitachinn Twins. Kaoru and Hikaru Hitachinn, both age 16, with reddish brown hair that is spike back. Both have flipped their hair opposite of each other. They're the devious ones. In short, they are not to be trusted.

I narrowed my eyes at them. "Do you have a problem with me?"

"Actually, now that I look at him, he sure does have a pretty face for a guy." One of the twins said while places his hand under his chin as he eyes checking me out. Hikaru's hand cup my chin with his hand and twisted my face in different angles. His smile twisted mischievously, "He's very easy on the eyes too."

I quickly slap his hand away and raised one of my eyebrows in question.

His twin brother gasp. "Hikaru! You like him more than your dear brother?"

"No! Never!" Hikaru exclaim. I watch as he pulled Karuo's waist towards his own body. Slowly caresses Kaoru's face, which was inches from his. "I would never do such things to you, Kaoru."

"Hikaru." Kaoru whispers back, as if he was on a verge of tears.

G-get a room you twin idiots! I thought immediately, as one of my eyes twitched in irritation. I herd the screaming girls cheer them on in the background, and got even more annoyed.

"This is not a normal school." I breathe out in frustration.

"Will you two cut that out?!" A voice behind the Hitachinn twins said. "That's not the way you should introduce yourself to people."

Hikaru and Kaoru both look at each other, nodding in silent agreement, and look behind them, and said in unison. "Well we did the same thing towards you."

"And you were fine about it." Kaoru added.

I herd the person sigh. "Just move aside."

The boy, or a girl, pushed themselves between the twins, and stood in front of me.

"Haruhi Fujioka." I blurted out. Startling myself then realized I just made a mistake and was too late to take my words back. I covered my mouth with one of my hands.

Haruhi looked at me curiously. "You know who I am?"

"Hmm..."Kaoru hummed. He rested his left elbow on Haruhi's right shoulder, and look at me intently. "So he does."

"I wonder how?" Hikaru ask, and did the same position as his brother.

Damn. I thought, taking a step back.

"You're the first commoner here." I quickly said. The twins gave a look at each other, then back at me to continue. "Why shouldn't anyone get interested in how you get into this school?"

"Oh." Haruhi said, a bit annoyed at my comment.

I bit my lip out of guilt. That was rude of me.

I moved around the three people. "Excuse me."

I made myself purposely walk close to Haruhi, barely brushing her shoulder.

"Sorry about that." I whisper as low as I could for Haruhi to hear. As I walk out of the cafeteria, I could feel Haruhi's eyes following me until I disappear from her view.

The blistering sun was hot above my head, but the breeze of the wind helps cool me down. I was on the rooftop of the school. Staring across the campus, as I let my mind drifted elsewhere.

I don't know how long I could be here, in the school, with these people. They live a totally different life from me, excluding Haruhi. Her life is quite similar, yet different from mine to begin with. I was only here to watch over Tamaki, but how could I do that with so many eyes watching my every move. The only way that I could think of, is to wait. Then, when these students have no interest of my existent, then I'll have my chance. I need to confront him privately. He must know about his mother. Why I was sent here to try to convince him to come back with me to Paris. Then I could finish my own personal matters.

"But time is being wasted when I'm just standing here and doing nothing." I said practically to no one. I took the last sip of my coffee, and was about to turn myself towards the door, when my body froze. I stare at the crack door that leads downstairs. Two pairs of dark eyes were staring at me intently. It didn't react as I caught them.

I scowl to scare them away but the eyes didn't move.

"What do you want?" I question.

The sound of my voice must have reached their ears because the next thing I knew the door open widely, but the eyes disappear from view. The wind blew pass me, as it causes my hair to block my eyes. I felt their sudden presence behind me, but stumble on my footing as I try to turn myself around but ending up falling on my butt.

"What the hell?" I demanded on the sudden bombarding of personal space. I couldn't see his face, but only the silhouette of him and his companion.

The person grabbed something from his companion and was coming at me. I closed my eyes for something to hit me. It never came.

I slowly open my eyes, and blinked in confusion.

The person handed me a piece of cake on a plate that his companion was holding.

"Eat." The person said. His voice was childlike like the shape of his form.

"What if-"

"Eat." The boy repeated, cutting my sentence short.

I looked at him, then at the cake. Unsure if this is some type of joke, or if the cake was poisoned or not.

I sigh in defeat. Grabbing the fork from the plate, and jab a piece with the fork, and plop it in my mouth. What I tasted wasn't poison, but the sweetness of sugary cake flavor explodes inside my mouth. My eyes widen in surprise.

I haven't tasted such an amazing flavor before now. Without thinking I said,"It's delicious."

"I know right!" The boy exclaim happily. He turns his body away from the sun, so I could see his face. I was surprised that is was seventeen year old, Mitsukuni Haninozuka, also known as Honey. I quizzically look over at the Honey's companion.

Then he must be Takashi Morinozuka, but is called Mori-sempai. I thought.

"I notice that you didn't eat anything in the cafeteria so we thought that this should at least fill you up. Here have some more!" Honey said cheerily. Then his eyes went a moment of threat. "Or else."

Great, I'm being threaten by a cake addict, cute stuff animal lover, karate kid fighter, and his butt-kicking companion. What else could this crazy school give me?
