Spoiler for September the Fifth, Day 4: Classroom- Cancelled:

Cancelled

Haruhi "Today’s meeting is cancelled."

Kyon "Huh?"


"When I got back from lunch break, Haruhi wasn’t in the classroom. She had come in at the start of the next period, looking rather pissed about something."

"And now it’s after school, and she still doesn’t look much more cheerful."

"The above conversation had begun something like this:"


Kyon "So, what’s up? I’m asking now because you’re probably going to—"

Haruhi "That stupid principal!"

Kyon "--Tell me anyway."

Haruhi "I was checking the teachers to see if they were body snatchers, and the principal just hauls me into his office to yell at me! I thought I was being abducted at first, but no, same boring old principal. I made sure to check him, too…"


"Check…? How, exactly?"


Haruhi "And then he had the nerve to accuse me of destroying the library! Like it was my fault! I was eating in the cafeteria the whole time that was going on. I wish I had been there…"


"To be fair, that is the kind of thing you used to do."


Haruhi "And I was looking forward to the new semester, too…! But it’s like everything I try to do just backfires…"


"That’s because the things you try to do are insane and irrational. If you had us do normal club activities instead of spending after school searching high and low for some mutant or running across town looking under garbage cans, maybe we’d actually accomplish something."

"Haruhi simply glares at me. And this is where you came in."


Haruhi "Today’s meeting is cancelled."

Kyon "Huh?"

Haruhi "Make sure to tell the others."


"She stuffs her books into her bag and stalks out of the classroom."

"…That was sudden." Maybe she’s going through her period or something.

"There’s no way this is my fault, but somehow I can easily imagine a haggard-looking Koizumi showing up at my house Sunday evening demanding that I cheer Haruhi up again or the /"world will be destroyed!/" "

"Still, if things need fixing, I can fix them then. No need to get ahead of myself."

"…"

[DECISION POINT HERE]

1) …I’ll just go inform the others.
2) Follow her.


Notice of Termination, Delivered Post-haste


"Of course, telling the others about Haruhi’s inexplicable mood swings would take too much time, so like usual I just wrote some explanatory note and pasted it to the clubroom door."

"That takes care of that. …Now what should I do?"

Stop Stalking Me!
