OHSHC: My Story

Surprises at the Host Club!

I was invited by the Hitachiin brothers to come check out the infamously Host Club after school today... they asked me via a piece of notebook paper... yes or no? I selected "yes"

Now I'll be first to admit, I'm nervous... surrounded by men I don't know... sure, I know Haruhi, Hikaru, and Kaoru... but I'm quite sure the only ever member I know hates me... Kyoya Ootori...

I hope this goes over well... but here I am... before music room #3 again... my chest felt tight, and my hands didn't want to push open those doors again.... suddenly, a familiar face appeared next to me...

"Are you visiting the host club today, Yamada-san?" Haruhi spoke up from behind me, clearly seeing my hesitation to opening the door.

I turned around to face him and nodded my head. My face must have told Haruhi all he needed to know. I looked scared...

"Well, let's go inside together... kay?" Haruhi flashed a small smile that... date I say made my heart flutter. I nodded back with bravery as Haruhi walked ahead of me and pushed open the doors.

Inside was a group of handsome men... a tall blonde with deep blue eyes that almost read purple... A tall and toned boy with a cold face and black hair. He looked like the stone faces of Easter island in a weird way. Next to him was a small boy, with big eyes that seemed to be made of caramel and honey. He was so cute! Then, of course, the light brown haired, mischievous looking twins...

And then... him. The boy from earlier this morning.... Kyoya Ootori. He looked the same as earlier, except now he had a big charming smile plastered on that face. He looked like someone glued a fake smile onto a male model who was known for his grimace in a magazine. Just wrong.

As the group of young men saw us enter, they greeted us with a loud "Welcome"

First, they saw Haruhi, then behind him... me. A girl of short stature, with half up pigtail braids, and not even wearing the school's official uniform. I felt out of place, to say the least.

The twins smiled in their spots, giving me a wave, Kyoyas smiled, revealing a grimace dripping with annoyance. The tall man looked unaffected, and the short boy next to him... his face lit up like a Christmas tree. And then... the princely blonde in the middle, he stood up out of his throne looking chair and approached me.

"Well, well, hello princess... who might you be?" He bowed like royalty, grabbing my hand and kissing it lightly. I stared blankly, unsure of how to react...

"U-uhm.. I'm Miyuu Yamada... I'm a freshman... same homeroom as Haruhi, Hikaru, and Kaoru..." I spoke like a stale cracker. My vocal patterns were unwavering and unemotional in a way...

"Hey Tamaki Senpai... leave her be." Haruhi protested, pulling me away and scolding the tall blonde male. Tamaki and Haruhi began to bicker. Then he realized... I was Haruhis friend...

"Wait... Haruhi... you have... a FEMALE FRIEND! I'm so proud of my little girl!" He began spinning like a dog and hugging Haruhi, and I stood quietly as what he said sank in...

Did this mean... did this mean Haruhi was a... girl? No way... seriously? I had to confirm for myself. I grabbed Tamakis's arm, forcing him to stop spinning for a moment... and I help Haruhis arm to get their attention.

"Haruhi... are you a... a girl?" Haruhis eyes grew wide, as did the other members. Tamakis face read like he was busted. He started stammering, trying to cover up the truth.

The other members also tried making excuses and calling Haruhi manly and such trying to cover up the kings slip up.

"I am a girl, yeah..." Haruhi said bluntly. Everyone froze in their steps like Haruhi committed a crime. "Oh, come on, guys, don't look at me like that. She's my friend... she was bound to find out sooner or later..."

The twins immediately caved and went along with Haruhi.

"Haruhi has a point..." Started Kaoru... "This way, we don't need to pretend around Miyuu either!" Hikaru finished. "Win win for us!" They then both said in unison, slinging their arms around both me and Haruhi.

Tamaki looked defeated before subtly agreeing. My eyes wandered to Kyoya, who stared daggers into my soul. I just couldn't read that guy...

"Well, I think it's great Haruhi-chan has such a great friend! Tell us about yourself, Miyuu-chan!" Bubbled the small blonde boy as he ran from the taller boys side to cling to my arm...

"W-well. As I said, I'm Miyuu Yamada... like Haruhi-kun, I'm an Honor student who is here via scholarship..." I started to explain. Tamakis eyes got big as I said this.

He looked like he wanted to say that this came as a surprise...  but then a familiar voice chimed in.

"No need to explain that. Only someone like a scholarship student wouldn't be able to afford a school uniform..." He smiled all innocently, but I could read that action of his... finally, something I could read about him.

I rolled my eyes and continued to share some stuff about myself...

"Im in the same class as the twins and Haruhi... I live near the school so I often walk to and from, or ride my bike... and Uh.... I love to try new hairstyles!" I explained as bubbly as I could manage.

"Wow! Miyuu-Chan! That's so cool! I like to change which sweets I eat every day! We sorta are twins like that!" The small boy exclaimed with confidence... though I didn't quite understand how they exactly related...

"Oh, by the way, I'm Mitsukuni Haninozuka! And him over there is Takeshi Morinozuka! We are both 3rd years!" Honey senpai exclaimed loudly... but inside my mind, I wondered how someone so small and cute could be a third year student...

And also how someone so tall and old looking could be a 3rd year... Mori Senpai was really, really tall... and I was only an inch taller, it seemed, than Honey senpai.

"Haruhi, tell me.... are you here to be hosted... or something else?" Tamaki spoke charmingly once more after he regained his composure. He leaned in close to me again...

"Oh well... no. I dont think I'd want to be a guest... Hikaru and Kaoru just invited me to check it out... but say if you guys ever need anything, I'm here to help!" I said with a big smile on my face. Tamakis face lit up, and he then hugged me and began spinning with me.

"Omigosh!!  Miyuu-Chan, you are absolutely precious!!" I just went limp and didn't fight it.... as I aggressively was spun around and around, I was sudden rescued from Tamakis clutches by Mori Senpai. He picked me up, throwing me over his shoulder and placing me down a safe distance away from Tamaki.

"T-thank Morinozuka Senpai!!" I said as I swayed dizzily, trying to regain my sense of balance after being spun.

"Call me Mori Senpai..." He spoke in his deep and slow voice. I was sorta shocked. Mori Senpai spoke at all. He seemed easy to get along with despite his somewhat intimidating appearance...

Tamaki frowned as I was swept away from him... but he put his hand to his chin and thought carefully. While others in the club sorta gushed over me, suddenly he snapped his fingers. An idea hatched in his brain...

"Miyuu... would you wanna be our Host Club Attendant?" He said striking a handsome pose as he spoke dramatically...

"A-attendant?" I stammered to confirm ny ears were working correctly.

"Precisely! Someone who helps us pour tea, set up the club room, plan trips, prepare outfits... the works!" His eyes gleamed as he felt he was so clever... perhaps the smartest man on the planet in this moment.

I thought carefully, everyone's eyes on me...

"Well... sure, I guess... why not!" I said mindfully that u was probably willingly volunteering for utter chaos... but... maybe that might be for the best...

Everyone in the club was overjoyed in that moment surrounding me with cheers and chatter.... except Kyoya... who rolled his eyes and opened his laptop at a table nearby and started typing away...

To be continued....
