A/N: Okay, finally got it done. I'm not too happy with how long this one is and how it went, but it'll do I guess. Well, enjoy.

The Lovesick-ness of Haruhi Suzumiya

Chapter 6: Confused

"..." Huh? What was that sound?...

"K..." Am I hearing things?

"Kyon!" I woke up startled. I wiped my eyes a bit and looked around. I was in my room lying on my bed. I looked over to see my sister looking straight at me. "You're gonna be late! Hurry up and get ready." And then she ran off. I looked over to the clock... It's 7:21. Damn it, gotta run!

I rushed with showering and getting some clothes on. I didn't bother to get breakfast as I was running late. I opened the door and sprinted out. I stopped sprinting and changed into a slower pace as I reached the bottom of the hill. Oh great, here we go... Crazily, I started to sprint up the hill. About half way, I grew tired and just starting walking. Looking at the time on my phone, it looked like I could make it by the start of the first class.

Arriving in class, I looked over to see that class hasn't started yet. As I walked over to my seat, I stopped. Why? Because I was staring at Haruhi and remembering what I saw yesterday... well, I don't know. I feel... awkward, but why should I care? Haruhi can date whoever she wants. I don't control her life... yet it seems like she controls mine. Damn it...

Our teacher walked in and saw that I was standing up. He told me to take my seat and the class started. I felt extremely tired that it was too hard to stay awake for class. I just wanted to go to sleep. Why am I so tired? I slept at a reasonable time last night and I was almost late! Maybe I'm just that lazy.

Lunch came and I just slammed my head down on my desk. I was too tired to care about any head injury.

"Yo, Kyon." I looked up to see Taniguchi and Kunikida standing near my desk. They sat down with their lunches and began to eat as they spoke to me. I slowly got my head off the desk and sat there staring straight forward.

"So how's it going Kyon? You don't look too good today." said Kunikida as he opened his lunch.

"Tired. Almost late for school. Want to sleep. Head hurts now." I simply replied.

"Why so tired? Were you and Haruhi up to something last night?" questioned Taniguchi with a stupid smirk that would make me punch him in the face. Upon hearing Haruhi's name, my mind kind of went blank. If you were to see my facial expression, you would think some sort of disappointment and sadness. I don't know why I feel this way. It's starting to really bug me...

"Hey, Kyon, you alright?" asked Taniguchi with a confused look.

Actually, I really don't know right now. I feel absolutely terrible and I just want some sleep...

"Did you and Haruhi get into a fight or something?" Kunikida asked as he took a bite of his lunch.

I finally nodded my head and said, "No, no. It's nothing, I'm fine." Though this was obviously a lie including with the way I look right now. I wanted a coffee for some reason. Weird craving for coffee now? I had one yesterday too. Right now, I didn't feel like getting one... "Hey Taniguchi, do you think you can buy me a coffee from the cafeteria real quick?"

He looked at me with a bewildered look. "What do I look like, your slave?" Typical answer. But he changed his expression when he looked at me once more. "Uhh... actually, I think you need it buddy. I'll be right back." And he left the room. Do I look that bad?

A few minutes later, Taniguchi came back with my coffee and I thanked him. Even though he's an idiot and a perverted girl chaser, he's still a good friend. Lunch soon ended and classes started again. I payed attention more in class, but still felt a little tired.

Thankfully, it was the end of the day. I couldn't have been more happier in my life at the moment. I walked out of the classroom and to the clubroom. Now I can relax in the clubroom drinking Mikuru's tea. Ahh, yes, the heavenly tea.

Opening the door to the clubroom, I was greeted by Mikuru who, when she noticed how I looked, gasped and ran over to me.

"Oh my god, what happened to you? You don't look too good." she asked with a concerned look.

"Nothing happened. Just tired, not enough sleep I guess." I simply replied and went to my seat.

"I'll make you a cup of tea. It'll make you feel much better." she smiled at me and went to brew her tea.

"Thanks."

Koizumi soon walked in and greeted everyone. He looked at me and examined my face. "Well, were you up all night trying to seal the closed spaces yourself?" He chuckled.

"Yeah, funny. You know I'm not like you, so just shut it. I'm just tired." I said glaring at him.

"Have you spoken to Haruhi yet?" Hearing Haruhi's name, I looked away from Koizumi.

"No, I haven't yet..."

"Hmm? Are you alright Kyon?"

"Yeah, I'm fine..."

The door slammed open and Haruhi walked in. As she walked by, I didn't even give her one glance and just looked down at the table. What should I say? Should I apologize or ask who was that guy she was with? Maybe both? I don't want to really get into her business, but I'm kind of curious...

Before I could even say something, Haruhi spoke first. "Kyon! What happened? You look horrible!" Thanks Haruhi, that makes me feel much better.

"Didn't get enough sleep I guess..." I guess this was my chance. "So... who was that guy you were with?"

She looked at me surprised. "What guy?"

"The one you walked off with at the cafeteria."

"Oh... he was just asking me about... the SOS Brigade. Yeah." She said with an unsure voice. Something inside told me to go on.

"And you missed yesterday's meeting too. I never thought you would. What happened?"

"I uhh... had to go home to do something..."

"Why didn't you tell us? We were waiting for you all day."

"I forgot..." Surprising she said that. With the way she is, I wouldn't think Haruhi would forget about the Brigade.

Knowing well what she really was doing, I asked her. "Where were you yesterday Haruhi?"

She looked at me again with a confused look. "I told you I went home." So she's gonna keep quiet about it? Alright then...

"Well, I just happened to see you at that restaurant yesterday when I went with my family..." I looked straight at her. She looked surprised. She didn't expect me to know all this I'm guessing.

"Well, who cares? It's none of your business anyway!" she shouted at me with an angry expression.

"I'm just saying... you don't have to lie to me Haruhi..." I said as I looked away from her. "If you had a date with someone, you could have just told us. It's not like we were going to stop you..." I got up from my seat. "I'm kinda surprised. I didn't think you would kiss them on the first date." I walked over to the door. I looked at everyone. They seemed surprised and Haruhi looked shocked. "And Haruhi? I'm sorry for what I said a few days ago..." And I walked out of the clubroom and out of the school.

I started my trek down the hill. A few minutes down the hill and my phone starting ringing. I looked at it and it read "Itsuki Koizumi". I picked up. "Hello?"

"Are you alright Kyon?"

"Yeah, I'm fine."

"So that's what has been bothering you today, isn't it?"

"No, nothing's been bothering me. I just wanted to know."

"... Alright. Well, it seems like Miss Suzumiya is still in shock. She didn't expect you to ask her those things." Yeah, I know.

"Closed spaces?"

"Possibly. I'm hoping not though." Why? I thought you enjoyed your job? Guess not.

"Well, whatever. Bye Koizumi." And I hung up. Body still feels tired. I wish I got to drink some tea. Damn it! Why didn't I drink some before I left? Man... Well, what do I do now? So Haruhi's got some other guy. Maybe I'll get replaced as the Brigade's lap dog? Yeah, that would be nice... right? Would I really want that? I wouldn't want to leave everyone. They're all my friends. And Haruhi...

I don't know. I've been feeling weird around her lately. It's starting to annoy me to an extent. Maybe... No! Can't be. I'm not in love with her. Though she is very talented and smart. She's very beautiful and has a very eccentric personality... Okay, I gotta stop.

I reached my house and looked at the sky before going in. I couldn't help but think about it.

Am I in love with Haruhi?

A/N: Well, there you have it. Now for me to figure out what to do next. Hope you enjoyed it.
