"Talking"
Thinking

Asher POV

What is going on?

"Oh, it's just two boys." The two red heads said.

"Hikaru, Karou, I believe one of these young men is in the same class as you." The black haired boy with glasses assumed.

"Yeah, but he's not sociable, so we don't know much about him." The twins said at the same time.

That was kind of creepy. Wait, did they say Haruhi was in their class? So, they're first years.

The glasses boy just smirked and began to introduce the club.

"Welcome to the Ouran Host Club, Mr. Honor Student and Mr. Carters." Glasses boy acknowledged us.

"Woah! You must be Haruhi Fujioka and Asher Carters." The blond stood from his seat in astonishment.

I looked to the side to see Haruhi desperately trying to open the door. It must have jammed. Either that, or she's trying too hard to open it.

"Fujioka, you're the exceptional honor student we've heard about. And you," The blond pointed at me, "You're really one of the Carters' children that are hardly talked about."

Haruhi paused in her struggles and turned around. "How did you know my name?"

"Well, you're infamous. It's not everyday that a commoner gains entrance to our elite school." Glasses boy remarks, sounding smug, "You must have some nerve to work hard enough to fight your way into this school as an honor student, Mr. Fujioka."

"Okay, that was just plain rude." I tried to interject but was ignored.

"Uh, thanks I guess." Haruhi says as she slumps down.

"You're welcome!" The blond from before says while wrapping his arm around Haruhi's shoulders.

I back away toward a corner while the blond goes on a spiel about how Haruhi is an "inspiration to all commoners" or something like that. I mean seriously, is everyone at this school ignorant or are they just rude.

Haruhi is trying to get away from the blond, but he keeps following her around.

"I'm out of here. Ash, let's go." Haruhi calls over to me as she heads towards the door.

I start my way over to the door when a child-looking blond pulls Haruhi away from the door.

"Come back here Haru-chan!" The boy smiles, "You must be like a superhero or something. That's so cool!"

"I'm not a hero, just an honor's student. And who are you calling Haru-chan!" Haruhi explodes on the kid.

"I never would have imagined that the famous scholar and a Carters' child would be so openly gay." The blond commented.

"Wha! Openly what?" Haruhi questions while I choke on my own spit at the blond's comment.

Who does this guy think he is? I have to find us a way out of here.

"So tell me what kind of guys you're into. The strong silent type," he pointed at the tall ravenette, "The boy lolita type," he pointed to the kid, "What about the mischievous type," he pointed at the twins, "The cool type," He pointed to the glasses boy.

Haruhi and I were both shrinking away from them at this point.

These guys are out of their minds. Why does the school even have a host club?

I had moved back to my corner by now, but poor Haruhi was still in front of the blond stuttering and trying to explain herself. The boy was not listening to any of it though. Hopefully this does not turn into a huge mess.

The blond moved forward and cupped Haruhi's cheek. "Or maybe, you're into a guy like me."

Okay, this has gone too far. I marched my way over to Haruhi and the blond as I noticed a vase behind Haruhi.

"Haruhi, watch-" I start, only to watch as Haruhi knocks over the expensive looking vase, "out."

"We were going to feature that vase at the upcoming school auction," The twins pop out of nowhere and stand over Haruhi, "Oh now you've done it, commoner. The bidding on that vase was going to start at 8 million yen."

"What! 8 million yen!" Haruhi shrunk down to the ground in a panic, "How many thousand yen is that? How many thousands are in a million?"

At this point I had made it all the way to Haruhi's side and was kneeling next to her.

"It's alright Haruhi." I reassured her, "It was an accident, and honestly more of the blond's fault than yours." I mumbled that last bit to myself though.

Haruhi and I stand up and face the group of boys.

"Uh, I'm going to have to pay you back." Haruhi tells the group.

"With what money?" The twins question, "You can't even afford a uniform."

"What's with the grubby outfit anyways?" One of the twins asks.

"Okay that was just rude." I glare at the twins and they just shrug.

Again, what is wrong with these boys?

"Well, what do you think we should do Tamaki?" Glasses boy asks.

When did he get behind us?

The blond, who I now know is Tamaki, relaxes back in his makeshift throne while Haruhi is freaking out and I just glare.

"There's a famous saying you may have heard Fujioka," he starts, "When in Rome you should do as the Romans do. Since you have no money, you can pay with your body. Starting today you're the host club's dog."

"Woah, woah, woah. This is ridiculous." I say standing between Haruhi and Tamaki, "I can just pay for the damages for Haruhi instead of you making them work as a servant."

"Ash, as much as I appreciate the offer, I don't want you to pay for me. I have to work off my own debt." Haruhi states.

I turn to her, "Then I'll help you pay off your debt. That way it will be repaid sooner and you won't be left alone with these idiots."

"You really don't have to do that." Haruhi assured me.

"Nonsense, I'm your friend, and since you won't let me out right pay your debt, I'll at least help you work it off." I patted her on the head.

"Well if that's all settled," Glasses boy draws our attention to him, "You'll both be working as the host club's errand boys until the debt is paid off."

Oh boy, what did I get myself into.

A/N
Hello everyone. Sorry for not updating in a while. Now that the host club has been introduced and Haruhi and Ash are officially members of the host club, I'm not going to go word for word from the anime. I will still follow along the main events of the anime, but it won't be word for word or scene to scene since we have Ash as our main character. Once again, I will accept any comments on grammar or if I misspelled a word, just please be polite about it. I hope you enjoyed this chapter! I'll see you next update!
