ASAHINA MIKURU<br/><br/>Nagato-san didn't respond to my question, but then she often doesn't respond to anything. Some days I have this crazy idea that she doesn't even attend classes but sits here in the clubroom just reading, all day, day after day.<br/><br/>Which of course is completely stupid! She'd get all kinds of detentions and her parents would be told to come to meetings and all sorts of stuff. Even so...<br/><br/>I hadn't noticed Koizumi-san outside when I'd arrived but he was hanging about in the corridor when I returned with the filled kettle. I shyly nodded and smiled to him and he knocked and came in a moment later.<br/><br/><div class="quoteheader"><div class="topslice_quote">Quote</div></div><blockquote class="bbc_standard_quote">"Yo, everyone! How are y'all today?"</blockquote><div class="quotefooter"><div class="botslice_quote"></div></div><strong>"Oooh!"</strong>I jumped a little even though I knew he was coming in. I don't know why I jumped, maybe its just that he's a little different to Nagato-san. I mean, well...<em>everyone</em>is, I suppose, but...<br/><br/><strong>"I am very well, Koizumi-san, thank you for asking! Are you well too?"</strong>I poured tea and served him a cup then stood to one side grinning.<br/><br/>He seemed to think about something and looked at Nagato-san but I must have missed it because Yuki looked the same as ever.<br/><br/><div class="quoteheader"><div class="topslice_quote">Quote</div></div><blockquote class="bbc_standard_quote">"Eh?"</blockquote><div class="quotefooter"><div class="botslice_quote"></div></div><strong>"Mmm?"</strong>I leaned towards him a little wondering if he would explain when....<strong>"Eeep!"</strong>Haruhi bounced in. And ran in. And exploded. And<em>swept</em>. And smashed her way in. And crashed. And yelled. All of them all at once, like she does.<br/><br/>I stood back near my little side table the kettle lives on and clutched my tray to my chest.<br/><br/>(http://i152.photobucket.com/albums/s167/acapc1/mikuru2.jpg)<br/><br/><strong>"Haa! Suzumiya-san! Konnichiwa!"</strong>Other than that I kept quiet and wished I could turn invisible. I liked Haruhi, she was full of fun but sometimes full of rather too much, especially when it involved weird costumes. And - heee - ripping my clothes off.
