chapter 3 - unknown

Teasing. Teasing. Teasing. Haruhi's life was starting to be a teasing life. Ever since that game, her bestfriends, especially Ino, would tease her a lot. And to make matters worse, she feels so anxious when Tamaki's around. I mean, it's not like I have a crush on him but why do I feel this way? What the heck. The constant teasing started killing her. One time, while she and Ino were going to the CR, Ino teased her that Tamaki seems to be Haruhi's "ideal" guy when they met up with Tamaki.

"Would you shut up?" Haruhi scolded Ino.

"Ooops." Ino's eyes widened. "Sorry."

Haruhi waited until Tamaki was out of sight. "Next time, try to be observant. You wouldn't know who's around."

Haruhi still had problems when Tamaki was within "her radar". She tried to suppress that awkward feeling. But how can she do it with all the constant teasing of her friends? This has got to end. The teasing and the feeling.

At last, their third examinations arrived. Haruhi concentrated hard on her studies to be able to get a good grade. It was also an excuse to help her surpass that awkward feeling. It was the perfect time. Her bestfriends were all busy and she was busy too. Later on, she feels nothing when Tamaki's around.

After their first day of examination, Haruhi told her friends that she won't be going home with them since she had to study. Her friends all bade goodbye to her and did not miss to tease her again. Haruhi just smiled at them.

"I'm not going to be affected with that guys." Haruhi told them as she went to the place where the school bus usually waited. "You've got to be better at that."

"Hmmmm." her friends just flashed her with their evil grins.

Haruhi was able to get a nice seat in the bus. She decided to read her Math notes when suddenly someone caught her attention.

"Is this seat taken?"

Haruhi was shocked that it was Tamaki. Habit for bus huh? Haruhi shook her head and looked at her notes again. Good!! Haruhi felt glad that shewasn't feeling that dreaded feeling. Haruhi seemed pleased and she smiled.

"What are you smiling for?" asked the familiar voice that Haruhi first heard when she rode the bus once.

Tamaki's voice was beginning to be familiar to Haruhi's ears. It did not make her heart jump anymore.

"Nothing. I just thought about something." Haruhi replied.

Finally, the bus went on.

"Hmmm." Tamaki looked outside.

Haruhi touched the window. It started raining outside. I feel normal now when he's around. Wow. Well at least, i'm improving.
Haruhi was busy thinking what kind of person Tamaki was. She did not know whether he's just like the other guys in their batch. But now that he seemed to talk to her... It seems that I misjuged him. His still an unknown person to me after all.

Haruhi decided to go back to reading her notes when the bus turned left and the contents of her bag fell. Her Math book and her other notebooks fell in front of her. She tried to pick them up when she noticed an unfamiliar hand.

"Let me help you."

Haruhi watched Tamaki pick her things. He was able to retrieve all of her things except for -

"My English notebook." Haruhi examined the things that Tamaki handed to her. Haruhi bent down to look for her notebook when -
THUMP!

Haruhi's head bumped into something. She rubbed her head and looked up and saw that Tamaki was rubbing his head too.

"Sorry." Haruhi amnaged to say.

Tamaki smiled. "It's okay." Tamaki handed her the missing notebook.

Haruhi got her notebook and placed it in her bag. Haruhi did not expect that Tamaki smiles in a weird way. She wanted to laugh but she controlled it. Instead, it became a snorted laugh.

"Don't forget to close your bag next time." Tamaki told her as he looked the other way, hiding his smile.

His still an unknown person to me after all.
