Sakuno's POV
Rumors and gossips always come in our lives…..
RRRIIINNNGGG!
The bell rang as the signal for lunch time. My best friend, Tomoka Osakada, ran toward my direction to ask me about lunch.
"Sakuno-chan! Let's eat our lunch on the bench outside." She said and I quickly nodded.
As we eat she began a conversation and ended up talking about the famous prince of tennis, Echizen Ryoma.
"Did you hear the gossips about Ryoma-sama? I can never believe that!"
"E-eh? What is it Tomo-chan?" I'm very curious about it.
"Rumors say that Ryoma-sama is a gay!" She blurted out that nearly chocked me.
"E-eh?" My eyes are wide open. Tomo-chan only nodded.
"H-how come?" I stuttered.
"They say that he don't have a single interest in girls and is always involved with boys like Tezuka-buchou, Fuji-senpai, Eiji-senpai, Momo-senpai….." It's all because they are in Seigaku Tennis club and tennis is Ryoma-kun's life. The reason why he don't have interest in girls, I thought.
"…And also from other schools like Atobe-san, Kirihara-san and Akaya-san." She added.
"I don't believe that. Ryoma-kun is not a gay." I defended. And our conversation went on and on as we arrived in our classroom until the afternoon class started.

The tennis practice started when Tomo-chan and I arrived in the tennis courts. It's what we two do after class; cheer our senpais and Ryoma-kun. Our senpais always walk us home and sometimes treat us sushi or burger before going home. They treat us younger sisters and the fact that they are afraid of Obaa-chan.
"Kyaa! Go Ryoma-sama!" Tomo-chan cheered loudly then the regulars looked at us.
"T-tomo-chan! D-don't distract them." I was embarrassed having all the attention drawn unto us.
"Nya! Hoi hoi! Ochibi! Your girlfriend is here with her loud mouthed friend." The energetic senpai said. I felt heat touching my cheeks after hearing that.
"Shut up Eiji-senpai." I think Ryoma-kun is irritated.
"Ah so young! So good to be young." Momo-senpai joined in teasing.
"Momo, Eiji! Twenty laps for not paying attention in your matches." Tezuka-senpai, their buchou, commanded them.
"Nya! Hai buchou!" They started running around the court.
"Everyone gather up!" I bet obaa-chan is in a hurry then dismiss them early and ask the regulars to walk us home.
"I'll dismiss you all early today because of an important meeting and regulars walk the girls home safely or you know what I'll do." All of the regulars gulped. Obaa-chan then dismissed them.

"I'm hungry now! Say you all want to go burgers?" Momo-senpai asked.
"Nya! I want burgers!" Eiji-senpai bounced up and down.
"Saa. Me too." Fuji-senpai agreed. The others just nodded.
"You two, do you want?" Oishi-senpai asked.
"Yeah sure senpai! Besides I'm not babysitting my brothers today." Tomo-chan said happily.
"A-anou I can't." I was a bit sad.
"BURNING! WHY? BABY!" Taka-senpai, in his burning mode, asked.
"A-anou I-I don't have money. I-I forgot my wallet t-this morning." I confessed.
"Saa. It's okay I'll just treat you." Fuji-senpai then smiled.
"De-demo senpai…." But I was interrupted by Ryoma-kun.
"Can we just go now? I'm starving here." Ryoma-kun said in a bored tone.
As we entered the restaurant Tomo-chan, Momo-senpai, and Eiji-senpai rushed into the seats followed by the other regulars then Ryoma-kun and I. I looked around the table to see a vacant seat and it was beside Ryoma-kun and Fuji-senpai, I blushed at the thought of sitting beside Ryoma-kun. Tomo-chan is in between of Kaido-senpai and Oishi-senpai.
Tezuka-senpai and Taka-senpai are the ones who ordered because everyone is busy talking to each other, well not everyone; Ryoma-kun is just sitting quietly. I bet he's tired and getting bored.
"Nya! Can we play a game while waiting for the order?" Eiji-senpai pleaded. I sighed. Oh well I guess we have no choice when Eiji-senpai is like that.
"What game senpai?" Tomo-chan is excited.
"Saa. Spin the bottle." Fuji-senpai suggested and everyone nodded.
"Nya! Me first!" Eiji-senpai is so energetic. He spun the bottle and guess what to whom it pointed….to me.
"M-me?" I was shocked.
"Nya! Fujiko what happens next?" Eiji-senpai is clueless about the game.
"Saa. You'll ask something to her that she must answer truthfully or she'll have a consequence." Fuji-senpai smiled sadistically.
"Okay! Hmm…What to ask? Aha! Sakuno-chan do you like….Fujiko?" I was nervous, I thought it would be Ryoma-kun,
"A-anou…." I stuttered.
"So? Do you like Fuji-senpai?" Momo-senpai repeated.
"Iie. F-fuji-senpai i-is my friend and is like my b-big brother." I blushed.
"Saa. Sakuno-chan is like a little sister for me." Fuji-senpai smiled at me.
"Okay, Sakuno-chan it's your turn." Tomo-chan reminded me.
"H-hai!" I spun the bottle and pointed to Ryoma-kun.
"Me?" Ryoma-kun blinked a couple of times. I just stared at him.
"Yeah, you. Who would it be?" Momo-senpai grinned.
"Oi, what's your question?" He said in a bored tone.
"A-anou…" Think Sakuno think "Ryoma-kun are you a g-gay? I-if not then prove it." Everybody was shocked even Ryoma-kun. Their eyes were widely opened. Then an awkward silent filled our table. After a few minutes he opened his mouth to say something.
"No." was all he said.
"Prove….." I was cut off when the burgers were served.
"Later I'll prove it." He reached a burger then started eating. All then started to eat too.

"Nya! I'm full of energy again!" Eiji-senpai said happily.
"But you are always energetic senpai!" Momo-senpai almost shouted.
"Fsshhuu. Shut up baka. You're too loud." Kaido-senpai hissed.
"What did you say viper?" Momo-senpai and Kaido-senpai began arguing,
"Please guys stop now." Oishi-senpai tried to calm them down.
"Kaido, Momo run twenty laps around the court tomorrow for arguing." Tezuka-senpai sure is scary.
"Add up my new Inui juice." Inui-senpai lifted a bottle of a greenish yet yellowish drink. The two gulped.
"A-anou Ryoma-kun…." I just remembered that Ryoma-kun hasn't proved yet his answer.
"Hn?"
"Y-you still h-haven't proved y-your answer e-earlier." I stuttered.
"Ochibi, Sakuno-chan is right nyaa!" Ryoma-kun frowned.
"Yeah. Echizen, how can you prove it?" Ryoma-kun looked at me.
"Saa…" I stared back at him.
"Fsshuu…" I blushed then looked away.
"Ii, data…." He stepped a little closer to me.
"…." The other senpais just stared. Then Eiji-senpai, Momo-senpai, Fuji-senpai, Inui-senpai and Tomo-chan started to grin that made me curious so I looked again at Ryoma-kun. I was surprised that he was only inches far from me.
"This is what I'll do." He said but before I can speak he locked his lips to mine. It was just light and fast yet it was sweet. That made me blush furiously. I think I look like a human tomato now! But before my mind float in the air Ryoma-kun grabbed my hand then started to walk.
"It's already dark I'll walk you home now." This made me smile. Now I proved that he's not a gay and maybe this is the start of another stage of friendship for us.
Please review so that I can improve. Thank you!
