C-H-A-N: Okay so I know I have quite a few stories going on, but I happen to really like Nori. She's a solid character, and so far has much more depth to her then Ace(Ace-in-the-hole), and Kitty(The Lost Kitty). So this might not be updated as much as the others, but we'll see depending on how well recieved this story is. I'm hoping that since I've written other Ouran stories that this one will be even better... But let me know what you think by leaving a review! :D
And by the way, I don't really know much about japanese horonifics, but I think I got them right... If not please don't hesitate to let me know!
Chapter One
I stood outside the classroom, waiting for the teacher to tell me to come into the classroom. I shifted my bag on my shoulder, fiddling with my uniform. The blue sleeves were almost too long for my hands, hanging over them a little, my tie was loosely tied around my neck, my jacket unbuttoned, my black pants flaring out at the bottom, and my brown shoes visible from the bottom of my pants. I brushed my red hair away from my glasses, as the teacher opened the door, saying,
"Class, we have a new student joining us today." She signaled me to follow her into the room, so I did. "Suzuki-san please introduce yourself." I brought my hand up, giving a half-hearted wave.
"Hey, I'm Suzuki Nori. It's a pleasure to meet you all." The teacher gave me a smile, a light blush covering her young face. I glanced around the class room before the teacher started speaking again, my eyes stopping to rest on a pair of twins, one with pink hair the other with blue hair, with only one seat in between them. I wonder if this is normal for them or not.
"Well Suzuki-san, you can go sit next to Hitachiin-san. Uh… Kaoru-san rather, please raise your hand." I raised my right eyebrow as the twin with the blue hair raised his hand, in a rather lazy way. I let my eyebrow fall back down, as I made my way back to sit in the empty seat next to Kaoru-san.
"Okay class please get out your English textbooks, and turn to page 53." I let out a sigh, raising my hand in the air, waiting for the teacher to call on me. "Oh, yes Suzuki-san?"
"Yumi-sensei, I don't have a textbook yet." A worried expression covered her face as she heard that I don't have my textbooks yet.
"Oh, the school didn't already give you your textbooks?" I shook my head, indicating that they hadn't done so yet. "Oh dear… We don't have anymore books, so until the schools gives you books, can you and Hitachiin-san share a book?" I glanced over to the blue haired boy, who glanced over at me before shrugging.
"Eh we don't mind." She nodded before saying,
"Okay so I want everyone to read the passage, then discuss it with a partner, and answer the questions at the bottom. You have the next thirty minutes to complete this assignment." I sighed, reading the passage quickly. I glanced over at Kaoru-san, noticing a small smile covering his face. I guess he really likes English class. We both read the passage fairly quickly, as well as the discussion and questions; I think we were the first group to finish.
"You're really good at English, any reason for that?" I glanced over at Kaoru-san, away from my tie, which I had been fiddling with.
"Yeah. My family and I lived in America for four years when I was younger, so I picked up on the language. You seem to be pretty good at it too, is it your favorite class or something?" He glanced at me, a slight shock covering his face, before it faded into a small smile.
"Yes, along with modern literature. What's your favorite class then?" I glanced up at the ceiling, thinking of which class I like the best.
"I don't really have a favorite class, but I suppose I like literature the most. So what's the deal with your hair? Is it always like that, or is this something to do with your brother?" He gave me a wide-eyed look, shocked by my question.
"I-it's not normally like this, my brother and I are…. arguing, so we both dyed our hair different colors, we're tired of people confusing us." I raised my eyebrow at him, surprised by his reason.
"Really? You two really shouldn't care about what other people think, they're stupid if they can't tell you apart, you're two different people after all." I almost jumped when the bell rang, letting us know it was time for lunch. I flashed Kaoru-san a smile, before standing from my seat and grabbing my bento. "See you after lunch, Kaoru-san." I left the room, leaving a shocked Kaoru behind me. I made my way to the cafeteria, nearly getting lost a few times.
"Nori-san!" I glanced around the room, trying to find where the voice was coming from, before seeing a few girls from my class waving me over to the table they were sitting at. I sighed to myself; surprised by the fact they already knew who I was. I slowly made my way over to where they were sitting.
"Hello ladies, how are you?" They blushed, looking at me shyly.
"We're good Nori-san, would you like to sit with us?" I smiled at them, thinking that I didn't have anyone else to sit with, so it wouldn't hurt to sit with them.
"Sure, and if I may ask, what are your names?" They blushed even more, their smiles covering their faces.
"My name is Akira." Akira is a tiny girl, black hair framing her face, curling down to her waist, her green eyes staring at me.
"And I'm Nao." Nao has brown hair, falling straight down to her shoulders, deep brown eyes glancing between her friend Akira and me.
"Hi! My name's Sora!" Sora was a chipper girl, dark brown hair falling near down in waves, reaching to a little past her shoulders, glasses covering her blue eyes.
"It's nice to meet the three of you." I glanced up as the room quieted down, seeing four guys walk into the room. The first was a tall six foot blonde, the other was another tall man, black hair and glasses covering his eyes. The third was a really tall man, taller then the other two, and a little kid next to him, blonde hair covering his head. All of them were rather attractive.
"I thought it was getting noisy in here. Are you two still fighting? You're embarrassing the Host Club." I noticed that he was talking to Kaoru-san and his brother, who had been arguing until this point, which I hadn't even noticed. I listened to some of the comments that people were saying,
"It's the Host Club." One guy with short brown hair and brown eyes said out loud.
"Oh I love the Host Club." A girl with brown hair down to her shoulders, and light caramel brown eyes squealed.
"I've never seen them all together like this." I raised an eyebrow at all this, confused by what the Host Club was. I watched as the blonde boy went over to Kaoru-san and his twin, saying something while holding out a cake. I glanced over to the girls I was sitting with asking them,
"So what's the Host Club?"
"They're the most handsome men in the school! I think you should join them Nori-san!" I glanced over at Sora, surprised by her response. Does that mean she thinks I'm an attractive guy?
"You know Sora, you're right, he would definitely fit in there." My gaze shifted to Akira as she spoke up, confusion showing in my eyes.
"I'm flattered that you ladies think I'm attractive enough to fit in with the most handsome group in the school, but I don't think I'm quite attractive enough to fit in with them. I also don't have enough free time to join a club, not to mention that I know nothing about the club members."
"Oh! I can tell you about them! In our class there are Fujioka Haruhi, and the Hitachiin brothers Kaoru and Hikaru. Haruhi-san is a commoner, but is attractive non-the-less, while the Hitachiin-san's mother is a famous designer. Then in class 2-A are the founder Suoh Tamaki, and Ootori Kyouya, both of them have rich parents as well. In class 3-A are Morinozuka Takashi, better known as Mori-senpai, and his cousin Haninozuka Mitsukuni, better known as Honey-senpai. Again both of them come from wealthy lineage." Haninozuka? I didn't realize that he went to this school… I wonder if I'll get a chance to talk to him; that would be so cool! I jumped in shock as I noticed that food was flinging everywhere, but mostly where the hosts were sitting at. I noticed Haruhi-san get up, leaving the cafeteria. A second later I stood up,
"Sorry ladies, but I think I'm going to go back to the classroom, there's something I'd like to talk to Haruhi-san about. It was very nice meeting you ladies, I hope we get to talk again soon." They blushed as they told me good-bye, waving to me as I left the room. I picked up my speed, managing to catch up to Haruhi-san.
"Hey Haruhi-san." I flashed a smile at him as I continued walking next to him, back to our classroom.
"Oh hello, Nori-san. Did you want something?" He smiled back over to me, his bento in his hands.
"I actually wanted to ask about Kaoru-san and his brother."
"What about Kaoru and Hikaru?" I shrugged lightly, still smiling at Haruhi-san.
"I was wondering about their hair, Kaoru-san said that they were in a fight, but I was wondering if you knew why, since you're friends with them. Not to be nosy."
"Those two are fighting over looking the same, normally they're really close, so this is really unusual."
"That makes sense then, thank you Haruhi-san. Want to eat lunch together in the class room?" Haruhi-san glanced down at my bento, hesitating for a moment before he responded,
"Sure Nori-san, why not?"
