Singing My Way Through Life

Challenge Accepted!

Sitting down in Music Room #3 there was always a handful of things to be expected. Flirtation- definitely. Swooning- Probably. Empty promises and false ideals of romantics pushed onto horny teenagers in a most likely illegal setting- Always and forever.

What I didn't expect that day however was to be given a proposal I really couldn't refuse.

"The beach?"

"Of course! The beach!" The twins beamed down at Haruhi and myself. She was working on some homework as club hours had just finished up. I had been staring at my book for almost 5 minutes rereading the same paragraph, my mind couldn't help but wander. I mean really, who needs to know about Romeo and Juliet? This is why the host club can get away with this kind of thing- we sell love short in our society.

But back on the subject at hand- the beach.

"Not to be a Debby downer or anything, but I have pledged myself against any and all types of water from now on. Sorry my devilish friends, but I'll take a rain check" I say, picking up my book once again, ready to dive (please read: attempt) back into my homework.

Haruhi let out a little snort at my remark, "Bell-chan, you weren't practicing that earlier when you went stomping around in the fountain during passing."

Rapidly signaling Haruhi to keep her pretty mouth shut before she destroyed any and all backing to my statement, Hikaru cut in. Damn handsome devil #1.

"On contraire little one, you seem to forget something." Both boys walked closer to the table.

"You explicitly agreed to go with us and we just so happen to have a free day coming up. So no excuses," Kaoru ruffled my head as he leaned down. Damn handsome devil #2

Sighing I try to move the book closer to my face. If I don't see them, they can't see me. If I don't see them- oh and there goes my book. Hikaru had taken it and was now grinning wolfishly down at me and Haruhi. Please don't eat me, I don't taste like chicken.

"Besides, Haruhi said she wanted to go to a real beach, and you wouldn't want to let a friend down now would you, Bell?" Hikaru kept the wolf grin stamped on his face.

Huffing, I snatch the book back from his grubby hands and throw it down to my bookback below. So much for getting ahead today.

"What's the catch then, there's always something up your sleeves." Haruhi says, already tuning into the troubling twins' scheme.

"Awe, don't be like that! It won't be all bad, so c'mon, now's the fun part!" The boys move backwards and I finally see the huge group of bikinis all put on display. I can't help but feel a sweatdrop appear on my forehead. Of course, I should've expected this by now.

"Uhh, boys? Why do you have so many...?" I stand up on my chair just to see how far the group stretches and feel myself pale,, holy God almighty himself would blush at the number of choices and cuts that were put on display.

Soon enough all the boys within the club are bouncing around the mannequins placed within the room. Haruhi is swept up into the twins' arms as they talk about her chest size and I can't help but curl into my jacket. Now that club hours were over, I switched out of my uniform and into civilian clothes, good ole second handed American Eagle jeans.

Shaking my head at their antics I hop down from my chair and walk towards the bikinis. Some of these were cute and acceptable but knowing my luck I couldn't pull of any of these. Pinching the fabric of a striped one piece , I shudder. At least I have my lucky two piece from the Jungle Trip™. Although as soon as I had gotten home from that experience I buried that swimsuit so deep in the closet it's going to take me awhile to find it.
