Sweet As Honey

Preface

I whimpered as my blue eyes scanned the popular people with caution. They stared at me with anger. I had accidentally bumped into one of them in a hurry to find a safe place to read since school was over. I look down at my purple see-through dress. It had a layer or two and it brushed the floor along with my hair. The slip underneath was a dark shade of purple, but not too dark. There was a red bow on my chest and a green emerald in the middle of it. My aunt thought it would look pretty if I put my hair in the bow. My orange-white hair was a huge contrast to the red and green. One of the straps was falling off my shoulder so I fixed it.

"You stupid commoner! You are gonna pay for what you have done!" yelled the girl. I gulped and quickly ran in the opposite direction. They were hot on my tail so I quickly turned down a huge hallway not really knowing where I was going. I heard talking and laughter coming from one of the rooms. I'm not really a people person but it was my only chance. I grabbed the handle and ran in ignoring the bright light and rose petals that flew at me. I heard gasps and ran behind the first person I saw. He had black hair and was tall. He looked a little surprised as I ran behind him. I peaked around him as the girls ran up to us.

"Mori-senpi can you please hand the girl over?" I cringed at the sweetness of her voice. My eyes widened and I gave a slight shake of my head when Mori turned to look at me.

"No." he said when he turned back to the other girls. They looked shocked and glared at me when they walked out. After a moment the chatter returned and Mori-senpi picked me up and sat me down on a red velvet couch. I squeaked in shock and blushed. I didn't really talk so I nodded my head in thanks, he did the same. He sat there with me until the girls left.

"I'm Mitsukuni Haninozuka! Most people call me Honey though! Who are you?" asked someone on the other side of me, causing me to take a sharp breath and put my hand on my racing heart. I turned to see a little honey-blonde boy holding a stuffed bunny. I stared at him for a moment and noticed that he was at least seventeen. I could tell by the way his eyes held wisdom.

"Shina?" asked a familiar voice. I turned around to see my cousin Haruhi, or Har-hee. My nickname for her. She grinned at me and I smiled back and ran to her giving her a huge hug. Out of the corner of my eye I saw a pale-blonde boy go sulk in the corner muttering something about not being able to hug Haruhi.

"You two know each other?" someone asked. I didn't see him do to the fact that my head was against Har-hee.

"Um, yea. She's my cousin. Her name is Shina Higotora." I felt the rumble in her voice. She tried to pull me off but I hugged her tighter.

"So is she related on-" started a soft but manly voice.

"Your mom's side or your dad's side?" finished a voice similar to the first one, but it had a manlier edge to it.

"My mom's." she said.

"Shina-senpi?" asked Honey as he tugged on my hand. I had to kind of tilt my head to look up at him. I was about 4"6 which made him, maybe, 5"0 feet tall. I pulled away from Har-hee and looked at him questionably.

"Wanna hold Usa-chan?" he asked innocently holding out his stuffed bunny. I stared at it for a moment and then took it from him, holding it to my chest. I smiled and tilted my head to the side as he grinned and cheered.

"Shina-senpi, how old are you?" I turned to see another boy with black hair, but he was wearing glasses and writing in a black notebook. I squeezed Usa-chan tighter oddly finding comfort in the plush toy.

"She doesn't talk much. She's sixteen though." Har-hee answered for me. I nodded my head in confirmation.

"You have such long hair! Daddy loves it!" yelled a voice behind me. I turned to see the pale-blonde boy. I pulled my long hair away from him and frowned whilst taking a step back. He was creepy, especially when he called himself daddy.
