"Damn him." Ryoma said. The purse thief had just stolen a purse and had run into Sakuno making her drop the tennis rice balls she'd made him. What is he thinking you wonder? 'How dare he make my rice balls hit the ground? I was just about to eat those. Sakuno made them just for me. And the weirdo had already touched them, but still I would have kept them until no one was watching, and then enjoyed my scrumptious snack; but no that guys is going to pay. There's no way I can eat them now.' That was what he was really thinking, as he pit a spin on the tennis ball; sending flying and hitting the guy. But his ball wasn't the only one, and that one was hit straight on. 'Who could have done that?' He thought. He turned and saw the weird looking kid with his racket out. 'No way could that guy hita better shot than me.' Now he was just pissed off.

Ryoma looked back at Sakuno and watched her pick up the pretty much destroyed rice balls. Then he heard the weird guy ask if he could eat them. They'd already hit the ground, but he just bent over and eat them. It was kind of gross, but when Echizen saw the happily surprised looked on Sakuno's face, he went ballistic. There was no way that Sakuno could like a guy like that no way. She looked at him, but he started to walk away. He was to mad to stay there any more. He felt that he'd lost something, and he wasn't sure if he could win it back again.

The weird guy then asked if I would have a match with him, and I said "No" and then I told Sakuno to follow me, and she hesitated, she actually hesitated when I told her to do something. This whole situation was seriously pissing me off. But I would never show it. Not me, Ryoma Echizen. I never show what I really think. If I did I wouldn't be able to play tennis so well.
