Commoner
Stepping off of the bus, you quickly looked around at your surroundings. Beautiful cherry blossom trees lined the sidewalk, the gorgeous pale pink peddles coated the ground, as if they were placed there on purpose.
"So this is the kind of perks rich people get. . ." you muttered to yourself, changing your gaze to the giant black gate that stood in front of you. You knew that after you walked past those gates, you'd officially be a true student at Ouran.
Taking a much needed breath, you calmly walked forward and opened the gate. As the shiny black crafted iron doors, swung to the side, you calmly walked inside. A feeling took over your body that you weren't yet use to. You felt as if you were royalty. Of course you weren't, but being in such a beautiful place made you feel as if you were.
"It's beautiful. . ." you whispered to yourself, turning your head around to take in the gorgeous sight. The other students starred at you as if you were crazy.
'Great I'm already making a fool of myself, and I haven't even reached class yet.'
The large clock tower began to chime as it reached the beginning of a new hour. Everyone quickly stopped their chatting and began on there way to class. You however had no idea what building your first class was even held in. Carefully reaching into your knapsack you pulled out a tiny piece of paper that Haruhi had made for you last night. It was a small map of the school.
"Well since I'm here, the building that my math class should be in is right. . . over there!" you shouted happily, as everyone else turned there gaze to you.
"Uhh. . . yeah. . ." you spoke nervously at all the people starring. Quickly, you bolted to your class, and surprisingly it wasn't to hard to find thanks to Haruhi's little kindergarten drawings.
Starring at the door to your classroom, you reluctantly, turned the doorknob to open it. Inside sat what seemed to be a million rich kids, mindlessly chatting their brains out.
'Maybe they wont notice me. . . if I could just sneak through this row-'
Your thoughts were interrupted when the teacher began to tug at your arm and bring you to the front of the room.
"Class! Class!" he yelled out, getting the other students attention.
The girls starred you up and down, and the guys all smiled. You couldn't help but blush, you hated being in the spot light, and you rarely were. . . especially in front of filthy rich teenagers. The teacher placed his hands on your shoulders.
"Introduce yourself to the class dear."
You could feel the sweat drop form on your head, as you came close to almost passing out. As if standing in front of a bunch of rich students wasn't enough, now he wanted you to talk.
'What is wrong with this guy!' you yelled in your head, slowly backing farther and farther away from the group. Finally, the teacher removed you from your misery and did the talking for you.
"Mei is a new student here at Ouran, a rather inelegant one at that. She got enrolled by a scholarship due to her excellent grades in America."
You looked over at the crowd of girls on the right side of the room.
"Oh that's the commoner girl right?" they all whispered to each other.
Looking over at them, you felt humiliated.
'This is going to be a long day, I can feel it. . .'
Just as you thought, your day was going by terribly slow, but fortunately it was finally time for club activities. Thankfully, taking a part in a club was optional, so you decided that finding Haruhi might be just the thing to bring up your dull spirits.
The hallways, quickly emptied as everyone went into their assigned club.
'Now where to find Haruhi. . .?' you asked yourself, as you shuffled down the hallway.
"She's always studying so perhaps she's in the library?" you quickly took out Haruhi's hand drawn map to locate all of the reading rooms through out the school.
There was 4 in all, and she wasn't in any of them. However, just as you were about to end your search, you spotted your cousin, in a boys uniform. . .
"What is she doing!" you whispered as you hid behind the corner. You watched Haruhi as she entered through a large pale pink door. Above it read; the third music room.
'That's odd, I don't remember Haruhi ever taking part in anything to do with music.' you thought to yourself with a shrug, sneakily following after her as she walked inside. You stood outside of the door, contemplating whether you should enter or not. You held out your hand and placed it on the shiny gold door knob.
"I hope she's the only one in there. . ." you said inaudibly, as you slowly turned the knob and pressed the door open. As you did this, you found a cool breeze blow through your hair, and gorgeous red rose petals trailing along with the breeze.
"Welcome. . ." six extremely handsome boys greeted, along with your cousin who stood there awkwardly when she noticed it was you walking through the door.
Ignoring the other boys, you narrowed your eyes at Haruhi, wondering why exactly she was here, in a boys uniform at that.
"Eh-hem!" Haruhi coughed, getting the others attention. "Senpai's, meet my cousin Mei. . ."
A tall blond gracefully walked forward and knelt down after hearing the news.
"Ah, so you're Haruhi's adorable cousin Mei Fujioka. . . welcome to the Ouran Host Club, princess." he spoke ever so gently, placing his hand behind his back and pulling out a single red rose. "For you Princess Fujioka."
You starred at him somewhat oddly, not use to this kind of attention. Reluctantly, you reached out your hand to take the flower, but before you could do that two familiar looking twins from your history class, pushed Tamaki aside. They gradually approached your face, causing you to feel a bit nervous.
"Eh, Hikaru, Kaoru. . . I think your scaring her." Haruhi interrupted just at the right time. If they neared any closer, you would all be lip locking.
Slowly backing up they both flashed you a smile.
"Sorry about that Mei, I'm Hikaru." the twin with his bangs to the right greeted.
"And I'm Kaoru." the twin with his bangs to the left joined in.
You began to study them for a moment, trying to find another difference other than the way there hair was parted, but were interrupted when you felt something tug at the hem of your dress. Turning around you found a younger looking boy, a few inches shorter than you starring up at your face with giant brown eyes.
"Hi Mei-chan! I'm glad you're here! I'm Mitsukuni Haninozuka, but you can call me Honey." he introduced, in an extremely adorable voice. "Oh! And this is my cousin Takashi Morinozuka, but everyone calls him Mori." he explained, as he crawled up his extremely tall cousin.
"Nice to meet you." you smiled, and gave them both a small wave.
Mori did nothing but a Meer nod in response.
You noticed that there was still one more host that you hadn't met. Turning around you spotted a dark haired boy, with rimless glasses. When he noticed you looking at him, he kindly bowed.
"Kyoya Ootori, welcome to the Host Club Mei-san." he began, pushing his glasses farther up his nose. "It's great to finally meet a relative of Haruhi's."
Something about his voice was mysterious, but you ignored it and respectfully bowed to the group of host's.
"It's great to meet you all." you thanked, as you turned to your cousin Haruhi. "I just have one question. What exactly is the Host Club?"
Haruhi began to sweat drop as she pointed to the tall blond.
"Ask Tamaki. . ." she muttered.
You turned to face him, and watched as he dramatically placed his hand on his forehead.
"I feel so honored to be able to explain what the Host-"
"Get on with it Senpai." Haruhi interrupted, obviously annoyed by the situation.
Slowly making his way to the front of the group, Tamaki began to explain the roll of the Host Club.
After his lecture, your face dropped.
"So pretty much, girls pay to spend time with you?" you asked dully.
All of the boys nodded, excluding Haruhi obviously. You began to laugh as you heard this.
"Unbelievable." you giggled. The group starred at you as if you were insane.
Haruhi was completely red, and embarrassed that she was even taking part in such a stupid idea.
You then felt Honey tug on your dress once again.
"So Mei-chan wont join us?" he whined, holding his white stuffed bunny to his chest.
You looked at him and frowned when you saw his brown eyes tearing.
'How could you say no to something like that. . .'
You were about to answer, until Haruhi gently pushed you aside.
"No, I don't want Mei to get involved in this too." she spoke sternly, crossing her arms across her chest.
"Actually, I wouldn't mind."
Haruhi's mouth dropped.
"Wha-"
"I mean I don't really want to be a host. . . but perhaps I could help with some other things around here, you know?"
You watched as the twins both exchanged glances. A smirk began to take over both of their faces as they came forward.
"You mean like a maid?" they asked in unison, leaning on either side of you.
"Well I'm not su-" Kaoru quickly covered your mouth.
"What a wonderful idea!" Tamaki yelled. "Yay! Mei-chan will make a cute maid!" Honey added. Haruhi just stood there and frowned as a sweat drop formed on her head.
"What do you think mom?" Tamaki asked Kyoya, who was currently noting things down in a small black binder.
He looked up for a moment and shrugged.
"I don't see why not."
You looked at both of the twins angrily, as they high-fived each other.
"Kaoru, your so good at coming up with these plans." Hikaru whispered into Kaoru's ear.
"Hikaru. . . I couldn't do it without you." they both embraced each other, in an oddly intament way. As you watched this odd 'twincest' kind of action, you slowly backed away into the wall.
'What is wrong with these people...' you thought to yourself, when you felt a hand being placed on your shoulder. Turning around you spotted Haruhi with a dull expression on her face.
"Welcome to my world."
