Ouran High School Hostess Club Chapter 18

On Monday morning, there was a new student. It was a little girl with long black hair and narrow but cute black eyes. She kind of looked like a mini Keri or Kyoya. Maybe even that would be what their kid would look like.

Everyone in the class stared at the little girl and no one made an attempt to be her friend. I became the first.

"Hello there. I'm Hannah. What's your name?" I greeted.

The girl glared at me, but I stayed in case she would say something. She looked away buy turned back before I began to leave. "I'm Shelly Tallon," she said.

Everyone gasped and whispered to each other that she talked and I smiled. "Nice to meet you, Shelly. I know first days can be hard, but one you make friends, it's alright," I said. She didn't seem to be the talkative, but that might be because she was shy.

The door opened and the hostess club walked inside. "I heard there was a new student!" Tammy announced.

"Do you have to yell like that? We're not deaf, at least not yet," Shelly said.

"What did you say brat?!" Tammy yelled.

"You heard me, or did your own voice make you deaf?" Shelly retorted.

"Why you little!" Tammy was about to fight her until I stood in front of Shelly.

"Be nice, Tammy!" I said. Tammy stopped and took a deep breath. The teacher walked in and we all took our seats to start class.

After class, we went to the hostess club and wore our schoolgirl outfits that we were supposed to wear the week before. We waited at our tables and the door opened. Instead of a group of boys, Shelly walked through the door. "Welcome Shelly! How's your first day of school going?" I asked.

"Good. Rumors are starting about me, but I'm used to it. Thought I'd visit you since you're the only one who actually said crap to my face," Shelly said.

"How did you know I would be here?" I asked.

"Some chics were talking about you and said you'd be here," the young girl said.

"Oh, I see. While you're here do you want me to get you something like tea or cake?" I suggested.

"Friends."

"I'm sorry, what did you say?" I asked.

"I said friends. I've never had one and when I tried to be someone's friend, they hated me for trying too hard," Shelly said.

There was silence in the room and I nodded. "Of course. I see that we're one in the same," I said. Shelly looked at me with shocked eyes.

"Hannah here stood up to a group of bullies that were harassing the hostess club," Tammy said as she wrapped her arm around my shoulder.

"Bullies. You guys have those too? Not very surprising I guess," Shelly said.

"You want to start a fight, little girl?" Tammy said.

"Tammy calm down!" I said.

"Ooh, a fight. If only guests came to see this!" Hailey said.

"There will be no fight!" I yelled.

Tammy sighed and tried to ignore the remarks Shelly made. After a few more remarks, Shelly started laughing.

"You guys are alright. You know, I would've gotten a beating from other kids. I'd love to hang out with you guys!" Shelly laughed.

I smiled and so did everyone else except Tammy. "She should join the club. I'm sure she'll get lots of friends that way!" Sugar said.

"Good idea. I'm sure our guests will eventually get tired of the same old girls every day. Why not?" Keri said.

Tammy stayed quiet for a while. "Alright I guess, but don't cause us unnecessary trouble, brat!" Tammy said.

"No promises," she said.

"You brat!" Tammy yelled. I could tell this was the beginning of a strange friendship.
