Hi there readers! So Ouran Highschool Host Club is all about high school drama and love and relationships and stuff, so I thought that one of my lovey dovey fanfictions wouldn't seem too out of place. (No, I don't publish those ones...) This is a story about Haruhi's high school experience if she never stepped inside that music room that fateful day. And yes, I do plan on finishing this one, and I really need to get back to those other ones I've been working on... ^^ I have to say, I am really proud of this one so far. No it is not a yaoi, and yes, it does have relationships. Haruhi and Kyoya ONLY. (Cuz they are so cute together omg I'm gonna dieeeeee...)

So without further ado, chapter one!

"Haruhi Fujioka?"

"Here." The quiet girl slowly raised her hand in the back of the class as the teacher called out her name for attendance. Heads turned to stare at the new girl. Rumors were already flying around, how she came here on a scholarship and really couldn't afford to pay the tuition the Ouran offered. No, she was a commoner. And no one of this status had ever really seen a commoner before, let alone spoke with one.

Haruhi lowered her head and dropped her eyes to her notebook, the one with all her little notes and doodles. She traced the outline of a little pink rabbit she sketched just before she spoke out and called attention to herself. She wasn't shy, really, but she wasn't sure she really liked the attention she was getting either. Her notes were all about her surroundings so she would never forget what she saw here. She flipped her long brown hair out of her eyes and looked up at the class around her.

There were many people in this class: boys wearing pale blue jackets and girls wearing light yellow dresses. Everyone is so good looking, Haruhi noticed. However, the moment she walked in, she noticed a particular pair of boys she made a mental note to never get involved with. They had the same bright orange hair, the same devious smirks, and the same way they would hold themselves. The girls all stared at them, but Haruhi grumbled when she realized what troublemakers they would turn out to be. One leaned back on his chair and looked a little too relaxed while the other sat on the desk and swung his feet back and forth.

They sat next to Haruhi, as the desks were arranged in alphabetical order by last name.

"So," one of the orange haired twins said slyly.

"You're the new girl, huh?" the other followed. Everyone was chatting as they waited for the bell to ring that signaled the end of homeroom.

"Yeah," Haruhi said, hinting that she didn't really want to talk to them.

"You're a commoner, aren't you?" the first one said.

"How'd you even get into this private school?" his brother said.

Man, these two are really in sync, Haruhi observed. "I got a scholarship to come here. I aced the entrance exam."

"Scholarship?" the twins questioned simultaneously.

Haruhi sighed. Were all rich people so ignorant? "It's when the school gives you money to go to them. It's like they pay for you to come."

"Man, I wish I could get a scholarship!"

"But Hikaru, you need to be super smart, like a genius to get one," Hikaru's brother said dejectedly.

"Oh." Hikaru slumped.

"Why does it matter to you anyway, you could probably afford anything you want," Haruhi said angrily. Her outburst surprised even her; she was usually a calm person. Ding! The bell rang out through the hallways and she took that chance to slip out the room and storm furiously down the corridor.

The twins looked at each other questioningly. They shrugged, picked up their bags, and left the empty room.

Later that afternoon, in a certain abandoned music room, the Host Club was having one of their regular meetings.

"So," the "king" Tamaki Suou concluded, "this year everyone will need to work very hard to be successful in school and in the club, am I clear?"

Everyone nodded. It was silent in the room for a moment.

"Hey boss," Kaoru spoke up, "how hard do you have to work to get a scholarship to somewhere?"

"Ah, you are talking about the new girl aren't you," Kyoya said. "Well, scholarships are very difficult to get, especially to a school like this one for the rich and somewhat famous." He rocked back in his chair and pushed up his slipping glasses.

"But she's just a commoner!" Hikaru said sternly. "I wonder what it's like to live such a drab lifestyle."

"The new girl is a commoner?" Tamaki asked, leaning forward curiously. "I didn't know that. She must be very smart."

"She seemed kind of upset with us earlier," Kaoru started.

"But we didn't do anything wrong!" his brother followed up. "We were just talking and she just stomped out of the room."

"What was her name again?" Tamaki asked. The twins shrugged.

"Haruhi Fujioka," Kyoya answered swiftly.

"All right then!" Tamaki stood up and slammed his fists on the table. "Kyoya, I order you to keep tabs on this girl and report back to me! It must be so boring to be a commoner, I bet they can't even afford to entertain themselves! But no matter! I will treat her to a lovely afternoon here, just the two of us!" Tamaki swooned. The theater of his mind played a picture of him sharing tea with a beautiful girl (he didn't know what Haruhi looked like) and watching the sun set over the horizon. The twins just rolled their eyes.

"Was he even listening to our little rant?" Kaoru muttered under his breath so only Hikaru could hear him. Hikaru chuckled and shook his head remorsefully.

I feel like this is a short chapter, but it was two whole pages! :/ Oh well, but I think most chapters will be about this long. (Don't take my word for it though...)
