Fake Smiles

2

The door opened. Rose petals flew past my uninterested face.

"Welcome," a blonde said. "My lovely rose. Welcome to the host club. Now, what name belongs to that pretty face of yours?"
"Sayuri Inoue," a boy with glasses said. He looked as if he was the same age as the blonde. "If I'm not wrong, your father owns a very famous sports company."
"That's right," I said smiling.
"Well, we welcome you to the host club."
Everyone smiled back at me. Everyone except Kaoru Hitachiin. He had a confused look on his face.
"You guys could introduce yourselves to me. I'm not sure I recognise you all. I'm new at this school after all." I smiled again. Smiling was boring. Smiling was annoying. Smiling was a huge pain in the ass.

"I'm Kyoya Otori," the boy with glasses said. "The one with the bunny is our Honey-senpai. The tall one next to him is Mori-senpai. I believe you know the Hitachiin twins, they're in your class after all. And Haruhi too. And that-"
"I'm Tamaki Suoh," the blonde said, holding my face close to his. I loosened his grip and leaned back. "Nice to know you all," then I turned to Kaoru.

"So Kaoru, why did you call me out here?"

"Well you looked really bored in class, so we decided that we might try and entertain you here."

. . .

"I'm leaving." I said bluntly. 

"WHAT!" Tamaki said. The next thing I knew, he was sitting in a corner of the room, making circles on the floor with his finger.

"That was harsh," the twins said in sync.

I dropped to my knees. "I'm so sorry. The thing is, I'm in the team for the baseball tournament next month. I need to practice a lot. If I don't win, my father would never forgive me." I said, my eyes tearing up.

"That's such a sad story," Hikaru and Kaoru said, with handkerchiefs in their hands. Kyoya adjusted his glasses. Mori-senpai remained expressionless. Tamaki and Honey-senpai ran towards me and gave me a 'crusher hug'. They literally squeezed the life out of me.

"I'll be going then," I smiled and said as everyone waved goodbye to me. Everyone except Kaoru, who seemed to be utterly confused.

I closed the door behind me. If that was all the Host Club had to offer, I think that I would not go there again, unless I absolutely had to.

But then again, fooling them with my acting was too easy.
