DANY'S P.O.V.

It was a Saturday, and I planned on doing nothing, until my mother came in.

"Dany, get your lazy ass up out of bed. Your little boyfriends want to take you out today." She snapped, ripping the sheets off of me. I sat up slowly and glared at her before she walked out. "Ugh. Disgrace." I heard her mumble as she walked out of my room.

I brought my hand up and wiped my eyes before I could let any tears fall, and got up to get dressed. Black tank top and acid washed and ripped skinny jeans with combat boots. My normal clothes. Except it was just usually plain skinny jeans.

I did my makeup, being extra careful with my eyeliner, doing it in a wing and my mascara as perfect as I could get it.

I heard the doorbell, so I grabbed my wallet and phone and went downstairs. I saw my friends and Shane and my mother. "She should be down any second. Oh, there she is!" Shane smiled up at me. "Are you really wearing that?" Was all my mom said.

I ignored her and walked out with my friends. If I don't kill her by Friday, I'm spending the next weekend in England.

"So what's up, Dany?" Haruhi elbowed me. "Eh, same old same old. Planning next week, planning next weekend, planning murders, planning funerals. The usual." I shrugged. Odd looks were exchanged.

We went to some drink place and got smoothies and shakes, me with strawberry banana. We sat around a table, talking and drinking.

"Haruhi, I've got to admit. This is the first time I've ever seen you wear anything close to girly." I said and she laughed. "My dad wants me to be more of a girl." She shrugged. "I mean, he's fine with how I am now, he just wishes I dressed more girly." She smiled.

"So, Dany, you've been with us about two weeks now, I've got to ask. Who's your favourite in the club?" Tamaki asked. I looked at each of them, then put my head down on the table. "I don't like picking favourites..." I sighed.

"Um, either Haruhi, Kaoru, Honey, or Mori." I sighed. "You just said you didn't like picking favourites, but you always choose Kaoru over me!" Hikaru said. "Wow, I wonder why?" I said sarcastically. "Maybe because Kaoru isn't, or wasn't, a douchebag to me." I rolled my eyes at him.

"I called you cute!" He whined. "It's going to take a lot more than a few compliments, sweetheart. Maybe you should start taking lessons from your brother." I said. "Bitch." He muttered.

"You know what I'm going to do? I'm going to keep a chart of your behavioural skills, Hikaru. Every time you compliment me or do something non-douchebag-y to me, you get a point. Every time you call me a bitch and be a douchebag, it's minus five points." I said. He just glared at me.

"Things like this is why no one likes you." He seethed. "I like Dany-chan!" Honey spoke up. "Mori likes her too! And so does Kao-chan and Haru-chan!" Honey went on, and I smiled at him.

"See, Hikaru? I'm only a bitch to you cos you're a bastard to me. Treat others the way you want to be treated." I smirked, sipping on my smoothie.

"So how come you never talk to Tamaki or Kyoya?" He asked. "Well, Tamaki always invades personal space, so I'll be a bit more comfy with him when he gets that. No offence, Tamaki. And Kyoya is always trying to get into my business, which isn't really a good trait." I said.

"It's simply my job to know everything about everyone and everything that's happening." Kyoya said. "That's fine and all, I've just asked you before to stay away from mine." I said. "Well, it can't be too bad, can it?" Hikaru scoffed. I saw Mori glare at him from the corner of my eye.

"No, it's not too bad, I just like my privacy." I shrugged. "Reminding me, when are we gonna meet your brother and father?" Tamaki said. "Hopefully, never." I chuckled. "Well, your dad's gotta be better than your mom." Kaoru said. I shrugged.

"And on that subject, we're really sorry we don't speak up. We see and we all know how badly she treats you. We just think that if we tried to talk to her and get her to stop, you might get in trouble." Haruhi said. "No, it's fine. I'm used to it." I shook my head.

"Besides, not much you guys could do anyway." I shrugged.

We went for a walk afterwards over a bridge. I still sucked on my smoothie, looking over the edge at the waters rushing below.

I thought about jumping over, I'll admit I did. I was close to until Mori put his hand on my shoulder and leaned bear my ear.

"I know what you're thinking, and I'll advise you not to do that." He said softly and very slowly. He stood back up and I looked up at him. "Oh. Thanks, Mori." I said and he nodded, taking my hand and walking me away.
