Fanfic Part 2: The Pool Party

On Saturday, two days before their break, Kyon got a letter in the mail. He opened it forcefully. On the front, there was a a drawing of him. But he was green, with antennas. He was also wearing swimming trunks. Above the drawing it said "IT'S A BRIGADE POOL PARTY!!" Kyon opened up the card, and skimmed it's contents. It was that day, at three o clock. He pulled his pajamas off, and put on shorts and a T-shirt. It wasn't like he was going to swim or anything.
Haruhi smiled as she looked into the crystal clear water of the pool. She cupped her hands, and called to her Uncle who was mowing his lawn.
"Hey Uncle! Thanks for letting me borrow your pool!" He nodded.
Mikuru skipped out to the diving board and struck a pose. She had her brand new pink bikini on.
"Do I look okay?" She asked, and Haruhi nodded.
"Where's Yuki?" Haruhi asked. A voice came behind her, and it made her jump.
"I'm right here.' Yuki was wearing a gray one piece bathing suit.
"Well, can you two watch the pool? I have to change."
Haruhi sprinted into the bathroom, and pulled a flashy blue two piece out of a plastic shopping bag. This ought to get his attention!She thought. Kyon was hopefully coming to the party, and if he didn't, then she would have spent 1,000 Yen on that thing for nothing.
The sun danced across her face as she emerged form the house. Itsuki had just came, he was wearing a pair of orange swimming trunks, so NOT his color.
"I brought POCKY!" He yelled, and pulled out five boxes of the chocolate coated biscuit sticks.
Kyon showed up soon after, in a T-shirt and shorts. No bathing suit. Haruhi confronted him on the spot.
"So, do you like my bathing suit? Because I'd like yours if you were wearing one." She grabbed the collar of his shirt.
"Oh...um...I-" Haruhi let go of him, and leaped into the pool. She was then followed by Itsuki, and Yuki eased herself in from the shallow end.
Mikuru was trying to get into the water, but it was too cold, so Itsuki grabbed her hand, and pulled her in. She screamed at first, but then calmed down and began swimming laps. Kyon just sat in a chair by the deck, and watched them all swim. This, apparently didn't impress Itsuki.
"C'mon you big idiot!" Itsuki laughed, pulling Kyon out of the lawn chair, and dragging him to the diving board.
"No. I don't swim." At that moment, Itsuki slipped, pushing Kyon into the pool.
There was a splash, and Haruhi's heart started pounding faster than it ever should. She dropped the towels and ran to the diving board. Kyon was sinking further under water. THAT EXPLAINS IT ALL! HE CAN'T SWIM! Before anyone could do anything, she dove in. She swan words the bottom, and grabbed Kyon's arm. She felt her head beak the surface, and she heard Kyon coughing and gasping.
"Grab my waist okay? I'm going to get you to the stars." She felt him holding onto her, and she swam to the steps. Kyon stepped off, he was shaking a little bit, and he was still coughing.
"Can you make it from here?" She asked him, and he nodded.
Haruhi swam over to the ladder, and sat there, her head buried in her hands. She tried to be as quiet as she could with her crying. Why didn't he tell me he couldn't swim?! I thought we were friends! I thought he could trust me! I thouhgt...he might feel...At that moment, she looked up. Itsuki, Mikuru, and Yuki were staring at her.
"Were you crying?" Asked Yuki.
"No."
"Your eyes were red." Said Itsuki.
"It's the chlorine."
"But you were sniffling!" Shouted Mikuru.
"It's my allergies." Haruhi stood up, and shook them off. "I'M FINE!" she screamed as she ran into the house. "LEAVE ME ALONE!" She leaned against the wall, and slid to the floor.
"Hey." Said a voice. Her uncle crouched down and touched her arm.
"That was a pretty big thing you did back there. You saved that boy's life. But somethin' about what you did upsets you." She nodded. Haruhi's voice trembled as she spoke.
"It's just that, I don't know anymore." Her uncle sat next to here.
"you don't know it he loves you or not. I know you darlin', whenever you have to be a hero, it crushes you. You find some sort of irrational reason to explain it.
You have always been this way, but for a long time, you've stopped crying. Why is that? Why don't you cry alone like this anymore?" Haruhi shook.
"People stopped making fun of me for being weird."
"That's not true and you know it. It's this boy, isn't it? Being with him makes you happy. So happy, you started paying less attention to the taunts and jeers that people threw at you. But now, you remembered the last time you saved him, and that boy wasn't there to protect you. Youwere protecting him." Harhui looked up, the tears still streaming down her face.
"What?"
"I recognized him as soon as I saw him. Remember when you were at camp a few years ago? You were six or seven. A boy was standing on the dock, and he fell into the lake. You jumped in and saved him. You were crying after that too."
He stood up, and left.
"Now stop sulking, he's waiting for you."
Haruhi looked out the window, and Kyon was standing there. He came inside. "Listen," he said, his voice was stern. "We need to talk." Haruhi led him into the family room, and sat on the couch.
"Haruhi, just hear me out okay? I knew you were crying. I'm sorry." She opened her mouth to protest, but he laid his finger over his lips. "No, let me finish first. I'm sorry that I caused this whole fiasco and ruined your party." Haruhi stood up, red hot with fury.
"ARE YOU REALLY STUPID ENOUGH TO THINK THAT?! YOU'RE THICKER THAN I THOUGHT! YOU CAN'T ACTUALLY BELIEVE THAT THAT WAS WHY I WAS CRYING?! YOU DON'T KNOW ME AT ALL, DO YOU?! I WAS CRYING BECAUSE...because I...I FLASHED BACK TO THE SUMMER CAMP THING A COUPLE OF YEARS BACK! YES, THAT WAS ME WHO SAVED YOU, YOU SORRY LOW LIFE! THAT'S WHY I CRIED, BECAUSE YOU CAN'T SEE IT! YOU'RE TOO STUPID TO SSE! Kyon I...I...can't ignore it when I do something good. I also can't ignore how I feel. I'm in-" She stopped. She couldn't tell him anything.
"You're what?"
"I'm just in a little too over my head, that's all."

I OWN NOTHING! THIS IS ALL FICTION OK?! NO SPOILERS!
