The Cool Type

Reina's painful day

I walked to music room 3. I was super late because I had to run home for a family matter. I walked in and looked around shocked. A tropical paradise stood before me with 6 Balinese princes and Haruhi standing before me. "You're late Reina." Tamaki chastised. I narrowed my eyes and growled at him and he cowered back. "I-I mean you look radiant as always princess!" He said trying to take my hand. I swiped it away. "I wouldn't. You don't know if I had all my shots." I said placing my bag down. "Why are you late?" Kyoya asked. "Family issues." I replied curtly. "What other than your-" "If you say financially status, I will rip your tongue out!" I hissed. "It's nothing." I said walking to the back room to place my bag down when someone tapped my shoulder. "FOR GOD'S SAKE WHAT?" I snapped. I turned to see Haruhi. I sighed. And she put her arm around me. "Do you want to talk about it?" She asked. My eyes welled up with tears. "My brother and his wife are fighting. She doesn't think he should be investing so much time and money into me. He says my education is important plus with the scholarship money I'll be fine. I knew Elaina hated me, but she then took all my stuff, and threw it out on the front step. Mateo called me to help me get my stuff but they fought on the porch and my neighbor called for a domestic abuse dispute and by the time the cops had arrived it got physical. But they only saw Mateo. They took him Haruhi! I can't stay with Elaina." I said tears streaming down my face.

    "Hey it's okay you can stay with me and my dad." She said. "Are you sure Ranka would be okay with that?" I asked her. "He's been dying to have you back over since we first met and became friends." She said holding my hands. I smiled and hugged her. Hikaru, Kaoru, and Honey came up to me. "Reina-chan your mascara is running!" Honey pointed out. "Were you crying?" Kaoru asked sitting next to me. "Just some family troubles." I said wiping my tears. "Are you sure that's all?" Hikaru asked sitting on the other side of me. I smiled. "Yeah." I said. "Alright. Here how about we talk to the boss and you have the day off. You're not exactly mandatory like Haruhi." Kaoru suggested. "Oh you don't have to-" "Nope. It's decided." Hikaru said snapping a picture of my face. "Hikaru!" I yelped. He ran off with his brother as I tried to wipe my mascara away. "Ugh!" I groaned. "Makeup wipe?" A girl with brown hair and a kind smile asked me, holding out a makeup wipe. She held it out to me. "Oh...thank you." I said politely as I began wiping my cheeks of the ruined makeup. "You must be the girl host. I have to say, I was looking for you because Tamaki had said you we had to new ones. I never expected to meet a girl one though." She said sitting next to me. I looked at her. "Oh...Yes. It's a pleasure to meet you Miss um..." "Kanako. Kanako Kasugazaki." She said holding her hand out. I took it and shook it gently. "Lady Reina, am I correct?" She asked. 'Lady Reina? Kyoya. It has him written all over in red ink.' I thought at that title. "Yes you are Miss Kanako." I said with a smile. "Forgive me but may I ask: You are a musical prodigy yes?" She said. "That is correct." I answered. "Haruhi has claimed he can't dance. Have you tried to teach him?" He said. I shivered at the memory. 

(* Flashback*)

"Okay let's try this again." I said exhausted as I tried to teach Haruhi the steps to waltzing. "It's one two three- Ah! One two- OW! One two three." I yelped and cried as she stepped on my toes. When we tried to turn she tripped me. When she tried to twirl me she dislocated my wrist. By the end of the lesson you would have thought I just lost a fight. "Okay. I can't do this. Haruhi, my love, I can't teach you." I said.

(*End of flashback*)

"I tried but it didn't end well." I said sheepishly. "After a few videos and practicing on his own; It was less...painful." I said looking for the word. "I see." She said. We talked more, she was a really nice girl. "Lady Reina if I may ask, What made mascara stain your beautiful cheeks?" She asked. "Oh...Family troubles I wish not to talk about." I said. "Oh I understand. If you ever want to talk about something come find me. I think host or not we will be great friends." She said taking my hand. I smiled. "Thank you." I said as she left. I smiled and walked out to the main room where the girls were clearing out. Tamaki was sulking in a corner eating ramen. "What's his damage?" I asked. "Princess Kaneko spent more time with Haruhi than him." Hikaru said. "He shouldn't be surprised. She's had the illness for quite a while now, hasn't she?" Kyoya said not looking up from his notebook. "What illness?" Me and Haruhi asked in unison. "She's got the host hopping disease." Hikaru answered. "A.k.a. The never the same boy twice disease." Kaoru added. I looked to Kyoya as if to ask him to elaborate. He adjusted his glasses. "Usually our customers choose a favorite host and see them regularly. However, princess Kanako tends to change her favorites on a regular basis." He added. "Is that what's eating him?" I asked crossing my arms. "Yes. Also since you missed this the host club is having a little party next week." He said. "Oh little party. Meaning a big,elegant, extravagant, ball?" I said. "How perceptive." He said smirking at me. I sent him one back. "Well, I'll have to find a-" "No need." Hikaru and Kaoru said. "We have it covered." Hikaru and Kaoru said. "It doesn't have to be too princessy." I said to them. "It isn't." they answered. "Hitachiin twins, if it is princessy and extravagant, I shit you not: Hands are rated E for everyone." I said. "What?" They asked. I sighed. 'Rich kids.' I thought. "I will fuck you both up!" I corrected and their eyes widened. "O-oh. Um...Kaoru why don't you show her the dress?" Hikaru said.
