Lost and Returned (Ouran High School Host Club love story)

Finally I was at Ouran Academy, it was my first day, well actually the real first day had been last Thursday but since I got sick Thursday and Friday I didn't get to come till today. I had on normal clothes since I couldn't afford the uniform, but they were appropriate, it wasn't like I was coming to the school dressed like a slut so I doubted that the teachers would care. However I would probably get noticed by the students since this was a rich people's academy. I held my sketch book close to my chest and wore my hair up with my glasses perched on my face. My mother had been excited when I got accepted, but to me this was just another school full of morons- rich morons, but they were no better than the poor ones.  If anything they were worse, with a sigh I started looking around the hallways, before I found my homeroom class, I still had a few minutes before it started though since I made sure to come here early. I was never good with finding my way around, so I gave myself a safety net to make sure I could find some of my classes and still be here on time. When I sat down I just stared out the window not really interested in what was going on around me, it was just girls gossiping about this and that, some probably about my choice in clothes since I could feel people staring at me for a brief moment. It wasn't worth my time though, but when the door opened I instinctively glanced over to see that three people had entered the class room, it was three boys. Two were twins which made me pause, but I shook it off, I wasn't going to think about that here, I wasn't that much of a sentimental moron... At least I was trying not to look like I was. I turned my gaze back towards the window, but I heard the girls gossip and whisper even more, some even cheerfully greeting the three, what was so special about them? Well there was always the slim possibility that those three were the girl's pimps... Eh as amusing an idea as that was it probably wasn't true. However those two already had me thinking about that day those years ago, ever since then I haven't spoken... I just didn't see the point, I don't grunt or make any sound, after losing what felt like so much; I just didn't have the will to speak anymore. I felt empty after the loss, and that was probably never going to change and I knew that I was never going to get better. I didn't need to, I was fine living in my bubble, I was fine with being alone. However my thoughts were interrupted... I could feel someone staring intensely at my back, I glanced over my shoulder and it was those damn red headed twins, I turned away and looked out the window despite the fact they were approaching me, I had a feeling they were going to be aggravating.

"Hey." I heard a curious tone in one of their voices, I didn't look over to see them, I didn't need to, I already felt the presence of two people behind me, did they really have to stand so close? Don't they know what personal space is, hell I can almost feel their body heat. Why can't they be like normal people and leave the new girl alone to stare out the window?

"We didn't see you here last week." Well no joke, I knew that, however this one's voice was a bit softer and had a politer edge than his brother's, it was a bit more feminine if I was being entirely honest. I disregarded quickly. It didn't matter, I still ignored them not even turning my head, but they didn't seem to care since they continued anyway. 

"So are you new?" I heard both of their voices at the same time, but I didn't respond, I still wouldn't even face them. I heard them both suck in a breath about to complain about my manners, at least I could guess they were, when someone else spoke up. 

"Hey guys leave her alone." I glanced over, it was the other boy that they had come into the room with, at least they had a friend that had some common sense to leave people alone rather than being obnoxious and annoying. "She's probably nervous, besides my first day I really didn't want to talk to you two either." So I wasn't alone in that regard either, but I don't know how he got used to talking to them, they seemed like they were a pretty annoying pair to be around all together.

"Aw..." I heard the more feminine one whine, but it was obvious that he didn't really care, they both managed to keep a bored tone to their voices whenever they spoke making them sound like they weren't really honestly interested in anything. "You're such a kill joy."

"Yeah you know you like hanging out with us." The first one spoke with a teasing tone, and in the window's reflection I could see them poking at the brunette boy and taunting him. Yeah right, they seemed like a huge pain, it would be better to leave them behind and just save yourself the headache in my opinion. I couldn't resist rolling my eyes.

"Yeah real joy." Seemed like the brown haired boy couldn't help but roll his eyes either, his tone was sarcastic and more than a bit tired. So at least it seemed that I was right in the regard that they were exhausting people to be around. That's how he made it seem anyway. "Now you two come on class is going to start in any minute now." He changed the subject and ushered the pair to their seats so that they wouldn't get in trouble when the teacher came in.

"Fine Haruhi." They obeyed for one reason or another, but I had at least one name now. Haruhi... I'll try and remember that, but in the end I knew it wouldn't matter. It wasn't like I was going to talk to him, but it was at least good to know his name now while I'm still thankful that he made that pair leave me alone. As the rest of the class settled it turned out that I was in a good seat, because no one had come to tell me that they sat here, which was good, when roll call came I just lifted my hand and I learned that the twins were Hikaru and Kaoru Hitachinn. Kaoru was the more feminine sounding one, well if he had answered to his name and not his brother's, and Hikaru was the more mischievous sounding one. Throughout the class I heard them whisper amongst each other and caught that there were more of them, at least it seemed like they weren't in our class, I don't think I could put up with more people as annoying as those two had been so far, but while I was getting ready to leave the class room I heard two pairs of feet approach me. Not them again... Why did they feel such a need to bother me? Then again judging by the other girls in the class, they probably weren't used to being ignored. 

"So you didn't answer our question earlier. Are you new?" They both spoke at the same time, but this time I completely ignored they were there not even turning my head to glance at them, I just started to close up my bag after I made sure that everything was in there properly and neatly. 

"Hey..." The one named Hikaru started, but he didn't finish it on his own, it seemed like they had a habit of switching between speakers and finishing each other's sentences. Maybe it was a play off the fact they were twins or just how they showed off the fact that they were twins. 

"Didn't you..." The other, Kaoru, continued, but it seemed like they were finishing this together, at least they spoke quickly they didn't pause in between, but it was annoying. It caused my chest to tighten, even though this was the first time I had been forced to realize how annoying this way of speaking could be. 

"Hear us?" Of course they finished together as I was expecting, but I didn't speak a word and I didn't look at them, they weren't worth my time and being around them just made my head hurt with memories and the fact they were an aggravating pair and I had just met them.  When I saw most of the class had gone to their other room I got up and walked past them, they seemed offended, but I haven't spoken in six years, why should I start now for two stuck up rich kids? They were just asking stupid questions anyway, once I answered they would forget I even existed. However they apparently took my silence as a challenge, throughout the day I learned two things that I shared all my classes with them and they were persistent. They asked me the same questions over and over again, they even threw in some new ones, at times their frustration would show and they even started to raise their voice a bit at time, but I wouldn't call it yelling. I ignored them though, throughout the day and not even their friend could really get them to leave me alone, but I applaud that he even bothered trying with the hard headed pair. When school was finally done I wanted nothing but to go home, however my mother had promised to pick me up at five thirty, she worried that since I didn't talk I was just asking to get abducted, so I would obey her wish if it made her happy. However that meant I was stuck here for another two hours. I just hoped those two went home. Looking around the school I saw some people sticking around be it for clubs or just to talk, but I was keeping an eye out for an empty room to sketch in until my mother got here, I hated sketching around other people because their curiosity at what the anti-social freak was doing was annoying, especially since like those two they would never get the hint that I'm not about to answer any questions. While looking round I finally managed to find something or at least I was pretty sure that I had managed to find something... It was an abandoned music room.... At least it looked abandoned and there probably weren't people flocking to it, so it seemed like a safe bet to try and get some peace and quiet, with that in mind I opened the door...
