A/N: The song "I'm Not That Girl" is from the Broadway musical "Wicked" and sung by Idina Menzel. 

You met him the first day you picked up your friend Haruhi from her elite private school, Ouran Academy. You had accidently dropped your keys on the ground and when you stooped to pick them up, your hand touched his. You looked into his amber eyes and blushed.

Hands touch, eyes meet

Sudden silence, sudden heat

Hearts leap in a giddy whirl

He could be that boy

But I'm not that girl.

You began spending more time with Haruhi and therefore, more time with the boy that had quickly worked his way into your heart. He just made the days seem brighter. You knew it was silly to get too close since he was from a wealthy family and you, well you weren't. You were like Haruhi, what the upper class called "commoners." There was no way that Kaoru Hitachiin would ever love you.

Don't dream too far

Don't lose sight of who you are

Don't remember that rush of joy

He could be that boy

But I'm not that girl.

There were times when you were watching couples on television and you thought that's what a relationship with Kaoru would be like. Then you remembered that there were others more suited for the younger Hitachiin twin.

Every so often we long to steal

To the land of what might have been

But that doesn't soften the ache we feel

When reality sets back in.

She was witty, sweet and gorgeous to boot. You'd seen her with him the last time you met Haruhi after school. He had his arm around her waist and you felt your heart break. Deep down, you knew that it was bound to happen and still you held onto hope until that moment.

Blithe smile, lithe limb

She who's winsome, she wins him

Gold hair with a gentle curl

That's the girl he chose and Heaven knows

I'm not that girl.

"Y/N!" You looked up to see Kaoru running up to you, pulling the blonde beauty by the hand. "Y/N this is Akira, my girlfriend. Akira, this is my friend Y/N." You took the girl's hand and she gave you a bright smile. "It's so wonderful to meet you! Kaoru had told me so much about you!" she exclaimed excitedly. You returned the smile, but inside you felt your heart pounding in your throat. "It's nice to meet you too. I'm happy for the both of you."

Don't wish, don't start

Wishing only wounds the heart

I wasn't born for the rose and pearl

There's a girl I know

He loves her so

I'm not that girl.
