I trekked up the hill towards school. Why have a dam school at the top of, when walking, what seems to be a never ending hill. It was like someone intentionally meant for us high schoolers to suffer, that really wouldn't surprise me.
My legs were aching and stiff by the time I finally reached school. I clambered in with the rest of the students then changed my shoes and headed to class. I found Haruhi in her usual place, sitting in the seat just behind me. She was reading some book.
"Morning" I greeted, taking my seat.
She ignored me and I'd be more upset by that if I hadn't been so tired. At least she was being quiet for once. Of course I spook too soon.
"Kypn!" She grabbed me by the colar and pulled my back until I was looking at her.
I sighed. "What?"
She let me go and I adjusted my position so that I was facing her. A devilish grin was plastered on her face.
"We're going to the circus" She declared.
"Huh? What does that have to do with aliens or whatever?" I asked.
"Oh Kyon, poor stupid Kyon, it has everything" She stated. "There could be aliens, espers or even time travelers hiding there"
Doubtful however I kept my peace, knowing how near impossible it was to deter Haruhi.
"So when are we going?" I mumbled.
"After school!" She grinned.
Oh joy.
Class started and I truly did my best to pay attention but still found myself loosing focus every so often. I really hated English. The rest of the day was fairly normal and passed by relatively quickly. The bell sounded, signaling the end of class. Haruhi dashed out without dragging me for along with her for once. I grabbed my bag and headed out. I jumped out of my skin when Haruhi grabbed me from behind.
"Slow poke" She chided.
I found myself nearly choking as she dragged me away.
We met the other Brigade members by the train station and departed. It was a short journey to our destination. Haruhi led the way and we her dutiful Brigade followed.
"You didn't put this circus idea in her head did you?" I asked Koizumi.
He offered me his plastic smile and a shrug of his shoulders. I sighed. It was probably a good thing that I didn't tell Koizumi about my family or our abilities.
We came to be standing outside a huge tent. Loud music could be head and a huge stream of people were heading inside. Haruhi gave each of us a ticket.
"Let go!" She instructed.
We made our way inside and took our seats.
