darthvader17: hey guys. Remember that problem I told you before that I don't have a computer at home? Well, I'm really sorry if there's going to be a lot of delays. But don't worry. I'll make sure that I'll be able to update in no time.

In the previous chapter, Haruhi's earrings were really gone and can't be found. She was also not able to tell Tamaki about this and it seems like Tamaki is losing. Yup. It seems to be. What if Tamaki already knows the truth? Haruhi is so dead but Haruhi will not lose hope and she will try to look for those earrings.

chapter 8 – reteasing

Haruhi did not stop looking for her earrings. She tried but still unsuccessful. Another problem that seems to be bothering her is the sudden coldness in Tamaki's attitude.

I won't stop until I find those earrings.

February

March

April

May

She spent the whole four months searching but still unable to find it.

One night, while looking for the earrings, Haruhi's mom went inside Haruhi's room. Haruhi ignored her mom's presence and continued on her search.

"You're looking for something that has been long lost Haruhi." Her mom said.

Haruhi opened her drawers and turned to look at her mom. "What am I supposed to do?"

"You can always tell him." Her mom replied. "He deserves to know and you're tiring yourself. You've been tiring yourself for the past five months."

Haruhi burst into tears. Her mom went to her side and hugged her. "It's alright Haruhi."

"But how?" Haruhi cried. "How is it gonna be alright?"

Haruhi's mom looked at her and touched the last remaining earring. "Forget about that thing and try to hold on to this last memory."

Haruhi looked at her mom with a questioned look. "What do you mean mom?"

Haruhi's mom stood up to leave. "You'll soon find out."

The warm weather of June finally came and the students in Ouran High were so excited to welcome the summer. Almost all students were celebrating their freedom from studying and studying. All except one.

"Come on Haruhi!! You're such a killjoy."

Haruhi and her friends were strolling in the new mall to make their selves happy, but Haruhi seems to be not enjoying their stroll.

"What is wrong with you?" Ino asked her depressed friend.

Haruhi just looked at her happy friends. "It seems like the earring is gone forever."

Ino examined Haruhi closely. "Just that? You seem to have a very big problem."

"Well, it seems like Tamaki is avoiding me."

Ino's eyes widened. "Since when did the two of you became 'close' friends?"

"Stop it Ino. You're making her feel bad." Temari scolded Ino.

Haruhi's friends felt sorry for their friend. They all hugged her to make her happy again.

"Forget about it Haruhi." Hinata told her. "It's June! We should celebrate!"

The end of the school year finally came. Haruhi was able to get over what happened to her earrings. The whole summer, she and her friends were able to communicate with each other through mobile and internet. At least, the summer vacation was fun.

September came and the friends were reunited again.

"Yey! I'm with Sakura and Temari!" Hinata told her friends. "I just saw the list."

"I can't believe that Sakura's with you two!"

Haruhi told Hinata and Temari as they all lined up for the enrollment.

"Well, the good thing about you is that you're with Ino!" Hinata said.

"And what's wrong with me?" Konan asked her friends.

Haruhi wondered where the list of students was. She asked Hinata where she could find the list and Hinata told her where it was.

Haruhi went to the place where the list was. Hinata was really telling the truth. Haruhi continued examining the list when she saw a familiar name.

Tamaki Suoh.

"We're classmates again this year."

Haruhi turned to see who just spoke and saw Tamaki smiling at her.

"Yeah I see." So he's back to his old self? Haruhi thought happily. "So, what happened to you last year? You were so cold you know."

"Yeah." Tamaki replied as he started walking to join the enrollment. "It was just that I was so depressed you know."

"What for?" Haruhi asked.

"Well, it's something about Rukia."

Haruhi stopped and thought. Rukia? The girl he has a crush on?

"You heared about her right?" Tamaki asked her.

"Yeah. I heared about her."

"Why didn't you tell me bout Rukia?" Haruhi asked her friends when all of them went inside the classroom.

"We just came from the CR and you come interrogating us already?" Konan asked her.

It was lunch break and they were the only ones inside the room.

"Yeah yeah." Ino said as she sat beside Haruhi. "Rukia turned Tamaki down last year when Tamaki tried courting her."

"Oh okay." Haruhi said contented with what she heared. "Well, I think I'm going to sleep. Who's with me?"

Haruhi's frends all shook their heads. Haruhi ignored them and went for a nap.

"You should have seen the way he looked at her!"

Haruhi was awakened by Ino's giggles. All of her friends giggled more when Haruhi was finally awake.

"Did you know that while you were sleeping, Tamaki went inside here?" Ino said.

"And?" Haruhi asked, letting out a yawn.

"When he saw you-" Hinata spoke but was cut off.

"He stared at you for a long time!!" Ino finished Hinata's sentence and giggled again.

"Well Haruhi, it seems like were back on the teasing business again." Temari told her.

Haruhi was unable to speak.

Oh no not again!

darthvader17: wow. Another scene again.

Haruhi: when does Ino get to have some romantic scene in the story?

Hinata: speaking of the devil, where the hell is Ino?

Temari: since when did you talk like that Hinata?

Konan: since she had a crush on Kyoya.

Hinata: what are you talking about?!

Dathvader17: please review everyone. There's going to be some blood here. Apparently, Hinata is going to kill us for teasing her. Well, I gotta go find Ino. Where is that person anyway?
