New Beginnings for Ouran Academy

The day was bright and sunny, birds chirping, butterflies flying around; landing on beautiful flowers that were situated around the school grounds. 'This place doesn't even look like a school, it looks like a castle' I thought in awe. In my eyes everything looked as if it were radiant and sparkling.

-"Close your mouth or flies will get it in it." My instructor warned, I flinched and quickly re-poised myself. I had to look lady like in this school. It was filled with rich, poised young ladies and young gentlemen. I wondered how could a foreigner, with no manners could fit in this academy at all.

-"So what do you think of our school?" The principle asked, he was a blonde, middle aged man with a perfect smile. (Dialogs in black means that the character is speaking in Japanese)

-"Oh! It's a wonderful school sir." I reassured with a smile.

-"Good, good! Wait until you see the inside." He responded with a wink. I could feel my stomach bubbling up as we walked inside the school. This place was more like a masterpiece, every wall; every painting was simply breath taking. We explored a bit until we reached the principal's office. My instructor and the principal started discussing about the preparations for me stay at the academy's dorms when they were ready. Until then I would be rotated by the trusted families of the Ouran Academy. I excused myself and went out to explore the academy on my own. The place was huge and it was only the high school building, no school in Mexico could ever compare to this one. As I walked along the hallways I could feel the piercing stares of the students. 'Of course they would stare, I've got ugly, thick, curly and dark brown hair. Not a nice sight to behold. Plus I have big, hazel eyes and they all have beautiful graceful blue and green eyes.' I thought to myself as I looked down at the ground in shame. Of course everything in this place is gorgeous! I kept ranting on to myself without noticing the path in front of me, suddenly my face bumped into a hard, broad shoulder.

-"I-I'm really sorry!" I said as I stood back up to see a tall, mean looking red head guy. He extended his hand, but it made me flinch because I thought he was going to hit me. His expression saddened and backed his hand away. I then noticed that his true nature wasn't really of a mean guy. I softened up and smiled back at him.

-"HI! My name is Rosalie Tenorio … I mean! Tenorio Rosalia" I had forgotten that in Japan you say your last name first. He looked at me bewildered for a moment and then smiled.

-"Name's Kasanoda Ritsu or Ritsu Kasanoda if that makes it easier for you." He extended his hand again and we shook hands.

-"Are you the new transfer student that everybody has been talking about? You know the one that came all the way from Mexico…" Ritsu inquired as he observed me. I nodded my head in response.

-"You think you could show me around?  I really don't know this place and you might know some cool places." I pleaded, then I gasped as I realized some Spanish had slipped out. Ritsu didn't know how to react and blushed a little. He nodded and signaled me to follow him. As we toured the place Ritsu would only say what a room or club was and a random fact about it. It seemed as if he wasn't comfortable around me, like he had never really talked to a girl before. And as we passed a music room I suddenly heard giggles and chuckling from it.

-"What's in there?" I asked as I tried to peek through the door, but before I knew it the door opened and I fell inward.

-"Welcome to Ouran High school Host Club!" I heard the moment the door opened but I was too busy trying to get up without looking stupid, which was hopeless right now since there was a dead silence in the room.

-"Tenorio-san you ok?" Ritsu ran by my side to see if I had injured by face since that was the first thing that had landed on the granite floor. I smiled and took his hand that he extended for me. I looked at his face and noticed he was looking away and blushing; I felt self-conscious too, so I let go quickly of his hand and said thanks.
