"Hajimemashite!!! Watashi wa Riyuzaki Sakuno!" A girl in pigtails said as she introduced herself in front of a class.
"From now on Miss Riyuzaki will be a student of this class. Am I making a clear statement here students"?
"Hai Sensei!" The students said as they eyed on the young miss that was standing in front of them.
"Does anyone of you want to ask some questions to Riyuzaki-san?"
"What are your Hobbies, Riyuzaki-san?" A girl in the second row in front of the teacher's table asked.
Sakuno smiled a bit as she said: "My hobbies are playing tennis and reading books authored by Charles Dickens."
Upon saying those words about herself. She immediately captured the attention of a boy who's sitting at the back row who seems to be not paying attention in the class. As he heard those words he leaned forward trying to take a closer look on the girl standing in front.
"Tennis Huh!" These words were spoken in his mind. "I can't believe that a girl would proudly state that she CANplay Tennis!"
"Now we shall decide where should Riyuzaki-san would sit."
"That seat in the back row is unoccupied, Riyuzaki-san you can sit there."
"Hai, Sensei" She saw cold stares from some of the girls apparently she does not know why. As she walks she noticed that the guys are also staring at her and it made her feel terrible. She thought of some malicious things but she tried to control herself.
"Hi! Watashi wa Tomoka Osakada!" A girl in the second to the last row introduced herself.
"Hi, watashi wa Sakuno Riyuzaki."
"I hope that we could get along well Sakuno-chan!!"
"Well that was too fast you know." Sakuno said to her mind as she smiled to the girl she is passing through, Sakuno keep thinking about the people in her class. "Well, I guess that girl is a friendly type, it's not really a warm welcome but I'm glad somebody appreciated my actual existence." Sakuno continuously walks a few steps later she reaches the vacant seat in the back row, surprisingly a boy Yes it is!!! Her seatmate is a boy. She really does not like it. Sakuno has a lot of disgrace with boys.
Sakuno embraced herself and try not to judge a person by its looks. She really wanna try to be nice to her new seatmate. "Sakuno you can do it! You can make it!" she said to herself taking a chance to speak.
"Hi! I am Sakuno Riyuzaki...Hope that we could...we could...uhmmm...be friends!" Sakuno said wearing a sunny smile a sunny but a little fraud.
The boy just takes a glance on Sakuno and lean to the other side. It seems that he does not care about Sakuno's hard work.
With that reaction it blew Sakuno's head! Of course she can't let her anger be exposed in public. She keep on thinking deeply and slightly turning into a chibi.
"That idiot of a Dumbass!!!"
"Stingy!!!"
These are the words that invaded the head of our new student here Sakuno Riyuzaki. Well she has a disgrace for boys and not really interested on them.
Finally Lunchtime!!!!
"Sakuno-chan!" A voice called out.
"That girl from before." Sakuno uttered these words unto her mind; she tries hard to appreciate the girl's friendly passion.
"Hai! You're Tomoka Ne!" Sakuno said as she looked at the glistening eyes of the girl ahead of her.
"Do you want to have a share in my lunch?" Sakuno asked.
"Hai, I will be really glad." Tomoka said as she hurries in her seat to get her own bento box.
"Sakuno-chan Ittadakimasu!!!
Sakuno noticed the content of the girl's bento box. It is a fried tofu, dried seaweed and a bunch of beans. Tomoka saw Sakuno staring in her bento box. Sakuno feel irritated upon seeing Tomoka's bento box. She feels a little embarrass for her new friend. The content of her bento is Hungarian sausage and a strip of Salisbury steak and a bunch of Lindtt and Godiva Chocolate. As Sakuno gives a stare on Tomoka's bento, she noticed it even if she was happily eating with Sakuno.
"Nani Sakuno-chan, What's cooki'n on you???"
"Ehhh!!! Betsu Ni!!!
"I know you're staring at my bento. So you see my parents are kind of busy and I have to take care of my siblings. So I prepared my meal today but unfortunately I'm bad at it!!"
"So Desu Ne!!!" Sakuno said
She does not know if she feels pity or amazed at the young girl. But one thing is sure "HAKUNA MATATA!!" (No worries!) Sakuno said in her mind happily.
Tennis Club Room:
"Momoshiro-sempai!!" first year student with 151cm in called another student whom he calls sempai.
"Oi Echizen what are those letters in your locker?" Momoshiro asked with a sly grin attempting to capture his reaction for Love Letters from his fans from the Ryoma Echizen Fan's Club being managed by Tomoka, Sakuno's new friend.
Afternoon Class:
"Today we'll be learning a lot from the French revolution and a lot about Napoleon Bonaparte, including Adolf Hitler, a german in the World War II". The teacher said and makes a smile in the students, a smile that indicates pure torture. "World History Class Again." A student seated in the third row chirruped.Sakuno was stunned, and said to her mind "World History is a piece of Cake." She said feeling really confident.
Questions were thrown in the students but only three of them answers correctly.
The teacher felt a little weird about this so she asked the three students, Echizen Ryoma, Riyuzaki Sakuno, and Adrienne Rei.
"Does the three of you made some advance reading about our topic?"
"I learned all about that in my former school." Sakuno said
" So am I" Ryoma said with a grin at Sakuno.
Sakuno felt insulted about him.
"What's this idiot babbling about???"
"Doesn't it make him sick of swimming??"
"Rotten Brat"
Finally Dismissal time:
"Sakuno-chan where are you going?" Tomoka asked.
"To the Tennis court." She said reluctantly.
"So you wanna have some boy hunting!!!Such a nice idea I wanna see Ryoma my Love." She chirruped.
"Tomoka-chan." She is now sweat dropped.
"I just want to visit somebody." She continued.
"So its a camouflage!!! That somebody you want to visit is a boy!!! I am certain of it."
With Tomoka's attitude Sakuno can't do anything so she quit on explaining it's not really boy hunting.
At the Tennis court:
"Are those girls here to cheer for Ryoma?" asked one first year at the club.
"Of course almost every girl who goes here are just fans of Echizen." Another said.
Sakuno entered the Tennis court with Tomoka but unfortunately the person she was looking for is still not in there.
Momoshiro saw the expression in the girl's face. Being a sempai and a gentleman he asked what do they need.
"Do you need something?"
"We are just looking for somebody."
Sakuno saw Ryoma together with Momoshiro. She gave a cold stare and did not look into him again. He just walks out.
"Hey where are you going Echizen?" asked Momoshiro.
"Just going outside, I suddenly felt terrible and bored here." He said turning back from Sakuno and the others. Sakuno is really really mad now, as if that she could already smash a whole hollow block.
"So if you felt bored so why don't you play tennis with me." She said with a very obnoxious voice.
"Mada mada da ne!" (Still have lots to learn) Ryoma said taking his racket in the bench.
Sakuno is really insulted. "You'll see what girl power really means stingy brat!!!"
The game started, at first Ryoma is not serious but he find out Sakuno's ability. So he became serious. Ryoma was stunned by Sakuno's determination to beat him. Their score is almost tying, so Ryoma became more alert.
"I can't be beaten by this girl but I'm impressed at her guts." Ryoma said in his mind thinking of a quick strategy.
"So you are also good but not too good mingy brat." Sakuno also said in her mind.
"What is happening here Momoshiro?" a tall woman asked.
"Coach, a girl challenged Ryoma for a match it's really interesting. I bet she's a fan of him." Momoshiro said with a smile.
"Stop them, the court should not be used for those things." With the command of the coach, they stopped.
"What are you two doing?" She asked and looked into the two of them
"Sakuno you are even my granddaughter!" Coach Riyuzaki said.
"Gomenasai Grandma." She said a bit embarassed.
"And you too Ryoma."
"Gomenasai!" Ryoma said not showing emotions at all.
"Okay that's all for today be early for tomorrow's practice!" Coach Riyuzaki said.
"I admit that you're really good in tennis." Ryoma said before leaving the court.
"That was awesome Sakuno!" Tomoka said.
"Yukimasho! Let's go home!" Sakuno said smiling at her friend but this time it's a real smile, a smile of happiness. I seems that Sakuno was really happy while playing with Ryoma. Even Ryoma felt really good.
The next morning:
"Ohayo Gozaimasu minna!" Sakuno said cheerfully. Everybody looked idly on Sakuno those cold stares hit her.
"Everybody in school knew about the tennis match you had with Ryoma yesterday. Don't worry they are just jealous!!"
"Don't worry!!! Jelous!!! Nanyatte!!!! How did they find out???" Sakuno asked in a very worried voice.
"Rumors here are as fast as the speed of light!!!"
"Who did this thing to me???" Sakuno asked really really angry!!!
"The girls said that yesterday Ryoma went into their fan's club and told them the whole story." Tomoka said.
"WWWWHHHHAAAAATTTTT!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Ryoma did that!!!!!!!"
Sakuno felt terrible really really terrible!! She feels that she could not just smash a hollow block but also destroy a whole building. She can feel anger trembling her whole body.
"That Brat!!! That idiot I will make him pay!!! Sakuno said with glaring eyes...
