The Revelation of Haruhi Suzumiya Ch. 1: A Normal Day

It started like any normal day. That is, of course, if you could consider my days to be normal at this point. My little sister, Miku, woke me up in her usual way.

"Wakey wakey, Kyon!" she said as she was jumping on me.

For the last time, it's "Kyosuke". I didn't actually say that, but she wouldn't have listened anyway. She left the room and I got out of bed. I cleaned myself up in the bathroom and went back to my room to put on my school uniform. I soon left the house and walked up the annoyingly large hill to my school. I definitely get my exercise walking up this thing every morning. Anyway, I soon arrived at my classroom. Haruhi was already there. I took my seat near the window. When class started, I started to dose off as usual because, let's face it, my classes are so boring. Haruhi would have none of it, of course, as she wants me to do well in school. As usual, she started poking me with her pencil.

"As your Brigade Chief, I will not allow you to do poorly in school." She said to me.

I just ignored her. Aside from this, nothing interesting happened, so I'll skip to after the last class.

"I have a plan for after school, so you better show up to the clubroom today, Kyon! Otherwise, it's the death penalty!" Haruhi said to me as she raced off out of the classroom.

I slowly made my way over to the building where our clubroom is. I made it up to the clubroom and knocked on the door.

"Come in." A soft heavenly voice, belonging to none other than the lovely Miss Asahina, called, saying it was safe to come in.

I opened the door to see everyone there, except Haruhi. Koizumi was sitting in his usual spot. Nagato was by the window, reading yet another book. And Miss Asahina was by her teapot.

I sat down and Koizumi pulled out our chess board while Miss Asahina served up her tea. As usual, Koizumi made one dumb move after another. He is losing on purpose, I know it. I heard Haruhi coming. Sure enough, not two seconds later, she bursts in as usual. I'm surprised that door hasn't been damaged yet, given how many times she's done that.

"Hey, everyone!" Haruhi called out to us. "Here's my plan for today! We're going out to the town to do another search! I have a feeling we'll find something this time!" She declared.

Oh great, another one of these pointless searches. The only "mysterious" thing I've found is how Haruhi is the way she is. In any case, we went out to the train station and drew sticks. Koizumi and I got sticks with red tips, while the girls got sticks with regular tips. Haruhi had a sour expression on her face, but said nothing and led the girls away, leaving me to talk with Koizumi.

"So, Koizumi. What do you think we should do?" I asked him.

"Well, Kyon," he began, "Considering that our chances of finding anything unusual are just as slim as always, I suggest we just head to the library."

Seeing no reason to argue with him, I just shrugged and went with him to the library.

Soon enough, it was time to meet with Haruhi back at the station. As usual, she wasn't happy because she didn't find anything strange or unusual, as Koizumi figured she wouldn't.

"Kyon! Do you even bother looking?" Haruhi asked me.

Of course I don't, because I'm not going to find anything if I did.

Haruhi sighed.

"Okay, people! That's enough for today! Kyon, your attitude needs to be better tomorrow!"

With that, she dismissed us and we all went our separate ways. That night, I didn't bother with my homework and just went to bed. Oh. And between you and me, I hope tomorrow will be a little bit more interesting.

Author's Note:

I dropped a hint for a plot point later on. I'm not telling you what it is. You'll have to figure it out for yourselves.
