Summary: in the past few months, it has been so rough for Haruhi. Ever since the Kanoya-Tamaki loveteam was discovered, and her true feelings for Tamaki was finally out, she was just so worn out from these craziness that she can't hardlt take them in. Worst of all, Tamaki has now showed his true feelings for Kanoya.
chapter 16 – prom night
If I wasn't such a wuss for being so affected by Ino's teasings, I won't be like this. If I wasn't so stupid for falling in love with someone who I expect to love me back, which is so not possible, I won't be hurt like this.
The past few months have been so horrible for Haruhi Fujioka, especially with the newly-discovered love team of Kanoya and Tamaki. With her being not ready for this kind of thing to happen, it would have been her end. It wasn't the best Christmas for her. To distract herself so that she would stop thinking about Tamaki, Haruhi would study her lessons, in the middle of vacation, just as to escape the awful reality. Who wouldn't be so wounded if you found out that the one you ever loved loves someone else besides you? It was so much. Haruhi felt like she was going to burst with all of these happening.
To make matters worse, Tamaki was starting to show some signs that he likes Kanoya, as what the people suspected. Every morning, Tamaki would be seen fetching Kanoya from her house and the two would walk together to school. One student spotted the two going home together. Haruhi's classmates suspected that the two are quite in good understanding. Some even said that the two are already a couple. It was not the best for Haruhi.
Another year has come by and before the students knew it, it was already the month of February, which means that prom is coming up. Of course the girls were so excited. What with all the dresses and something. Not all, apparently.
Haruhi and her friends were walking home, talking about the funny experiences they had during their last prom. The good thing was, Haruhi joined her friends' conversation.
"Did you remember Haruhi being late during our prom last year?" Temari asked them.
"Yeah. I remember her partner walking totally alone in that aisle. He looked pretty embarrassed" Ino told them.
"Why wouldn't I be late when I did not know that the prom was already starting?" Haruhi defended.
The girls laughed at Haruhi's reason which she kept on insisting them.
People might have thought that Haruhi was over Tamaki but Haruhi's friends knew her better than anyone. Haruhi was good at putting on a poker face. They knew that deep inside, Haruhi was aching.
"Haruhi"
Haruhi looked at Ino. The girls stopped walking to have a talk with their friend.
"Yes?" Haruhi answered them; still smiling about that mistake she did last year.
Her friends were quiet for a moment. Ino broke the silence.
"Are you okay?"
Haruhi paused for a second then answered. "Yeah. Why wouldn't I be?"
"We know you are not okay, Haruhi." Sakura told her friend.
"I'm really sorry Haruhi." Ino said.
Haruhi was quiet. She knew that her friends know about her problem.
"I'm going to be okay." She told them with a smile. "I know I am going to be."
Prom day finally arrived. Haruhi promised her friends that she wouldn't be late on that day. She also vowed to her partner that she would not be late on that day, so as not to embarrass him. Her partner was glad about it and told her that he too would try not to be late.
The prom started with all the pairings to walk down the aisle so as to let the judges to choose who will be the Prom Queen and King. Haruhi and her friends did not expect to be in the list because all they want to do was eat a lot of the food and enjoy the night. With all the distractions and detachments that Haruhi did, it did not hurt her so much to see Tamaki out there.
I knew I could do this.
Haruhi and her partner were done walking down the aisle when all the people inside the room gasped. Haruhi turned to see and saw what caused the people to gasp.
It was a pretty a girl. Pretty might be an understatement but maybe the right term is beautiful. Haruhi did not recognize the girl at once but when the girl looked in her direction, she knew her then.
It was Kanoya.
Haruhi turned to look at Tamaki. Tamaki was of course looking at her going-to-be-girlfriend.
As I thought.
When Kanoya reached her table, Kanoya picked a bouquet of flowers and read something. Haruhi was puzzled about the flowers when she saw Kanoya looking at Tamaki with a smile. Kanoya nodded and Tamaki's eyes just widened.
Haruhi did not understand this until Tamaki went to Kanoya's table to hug her.
And it was total one hit KO for Haruhi Fujioka. Kanoya is the winner.
The two hugging each other gave proof to that.
And Kanoya and Tamaki lived happily ever after.
