Haruhi was born to a middle class family but gets the opportunity of a lifetime to attend the rich Ouran High School. While looking for a quiet place to study, she stumbles in on the Host Club, a group of young men who flirt with women.
Haruhi has a bit of an accident while talking to Hideki and breaks a very expensive vase. Having very little money, she is forced to work for the Host Club, doing odd jobs, in order to pay off the large amount of money she now owes them.
