Summary: haruhi has speculations on who got her name. Will tamaki give in to haruhi's pleas? Haruhi will have shocking news she can't imagine.

chapter 5 – unexpected

Haruhi was so busy thinking who that person Tamaki meant. Could it be Sakura? No, it couldn't be Sakura. Haruhi was so deep in her thoughts as she walked to the bus that afternoon. Could it be, Kyoya? Yeah. It could be him. I mean, he looked at Tamaki in that weird way. He must've tried to stop Tamaki from telling. Haruhi was near the bus when somebody called her. Haruhi turned around to see Tamaki approaching her. Haruhi waited and stopped for a while thinking about Kyoya.

"Are you sure you want earrings?" Tamaki asked her.

Haruhi nodded. "I'm entirely sure. Why ask?"

"Nothing." Tamaki said as he started to leave. "I just came here to tell you that I'm the one who picked your name."

Haruhi's world stopped. She was too shocked to move or even speak. She tried to regain her voice and was successful.

"WHY THE HELL DID YOU TELL ME?!" Haruhi retorted. "You're not supposed to tell! WHY?"

"You got a problem?" Tamaki asked her in a worried tone.

"Of course I have! I mean, I can't feel the thrill anymore! YOU'RE SUCH A BAKA!!"

"I thought you wanted to know who picked your name." Tamaki told her. It seemed like Tamaki was pinned there, unable to leave.

"Aaaaahhh!!!" Haruhi left Tamaki and went inside the bus.

It was true that Haruhi wanted to know who got her name but if it was Tamaki who picked her name, he could have let another person to tell her that it was him. Sure she likes thrills but she doesn't like the actual people to actually tell her.
What a pleasant afternoon. Haruhi thought as she buried herself in her hands while the first years looked at her with confused faces.

Haruhi arrived home at last. She went directly to her room and did not bother to listen to YOU-KNOW-WHO's lectures.
She put her things on her study table. She went to lie down her bed, still thinking about what Tamaki said.
Why did he tell me? Haruhi closed her eyes, trying to comprehend Tamaki's actions. Maybe he's just pretending. Haruhi thought. Yeah. He's just pretending. Haruhi convinced herself that Tamaki was just pretending.

The next day, Haruhi did not smile or even talk to Tamaki. She treated Tamaki like he never existed. Haruhi's best friends noticed this small change of behavior in Haruhi so they decided to have a meeting later that afternoon.

"Okay. This meeting is called to order. You guys wish to talk about something?" Sakura told her friends as they all sat down on one of the benches near the school soccer field.

"What am I gonna give to her?" Hinata asked her friends, expecting to help her.

"Who did you get anyway?" Sakura asked Hinata.

All of Haruhi's best friends were so busy talking to each other. Ino noticed the unusual "quiet" mode of Haruhi.

"Hey Haruhi. You have a problem with Shina?" Ino asked her. All of her friends decided to listen to Haruhi.

"It's not Shina I'm worried about." Haruhi answered. She was still so interested in what Tamaki said to her the other day.

"What is it then?" Temari asked her.

Haruhi hesitated telling them. They might tease me again. Haruhi looked at her friends.

"Come on!" Ino told her. "Friends, remember?"

Haruhi thought about it. "Will you promise not to tease me?"

Ino snorted. "Is this about HIM?"

"Probably." Konan said. "What else is the reason?"

"I told you not to tease me." Haruhi said in an irritated tone. "Forget about it."

Sakura glared at her friends, especially at Ino. Ino stopped giggling and so as her friends.

"Were sorry Haruhi." Sakura told her. "Come on, you can tell us. We'll help you whatever your problem is."

Haruhi looked at Sakura. Sakura's right. Haruhi can't keep the secret much longer.

"Well. Tamaki told me that he's the one who got my name. Do you believe him?"

Haruhi's friends were so shocked. The whole afternoon, until they went home, they still can't believe it.

Time seemed to move so fast that the next thing she knew, it was already the day of the Christmas party. Haruhi went to school and prepared what was really going to come.

"Now it's Yamika's turn!!"

It was already time for the gift thingy. Some of Haruhi's classmates already received their gifts from the unexpected persons. She watched Yamika walk around; looking for the person she was going to give the gift to. Then Yamika stopped and gave the gift to Kyoya.
Well here goes nothing. Haruhi thought. She watched Kyoya walk around but then he stopped to give his gift to Tamaki.

Oh no! Haruhi's eyes widened as she watched Tamaki give Kyoya a thumbs-up.
Please. Not me!!

Tamaki walked and walked. Haruhi wanted to leave the room and thought that she could use an alibi. She was about to go when suddenly, the whole class cheered. Haruhi turned around to see Tamaki kneeling in front of her, holding out a small box.

"Get it!" Tamaki told her. "Don't make me look stupid you know." Tamaki grinned at her.

Haruhi received the small box and turned to look at Tamaki. "Thanks."

All of her classmates were opening their gifts. Some got shoes, blouses, pillows and other cool things. Haruhi was about to open her gift when Shina approached her to thank her. Haruhi just smiled.
What could be in here? The earrings probably. I mean, I did tell him that I would like one. How would he explain the smallness of the box? Haruhi thought. Finally, a pair of-

Haruhi was cut off when the box that she opened was still wrapped. She tore the paper wrapping it when-

"Another wrapper?!" Haruhi asked in disappointment.

Haruhi tore the wrapper again when there was another wrapper.

"What the heck did you do TAMAKI?!" Haruhi retorted.

"Oh, you'll see." Tamaki said. This made Haruhi get irritated. She was about to give up when she noticed that she reached the small box at last.

Haruhi opened it and saw the earrings she'd been dying to have. It was a small, flower-designed one.

"Thanks." Haruhi told Tamaki.

Tamaki nodded. Haruhi picked the earrings and wore them. Cool! Haruhi told herself when she was done putting them on.

"Thanks again." Haruhi told Tamaki.

Tamaki just smiled.
