Chapter I: First Meeting
Sakuno stood infront of a cherry blossom tree, admiring its beauty.
With one gust of wind, the tree's flowers covered the front area of Seishun Gakuen.
As the wind kept on blowing, so did Sakuno's auburn twin-braided hair.
'Sa-chan! Ohayou!' a certain girl called.
Sakuno looked back just to see her bestfriend Tomoka.
'Ohayou gozaimasu Tomo-chan.' She said with her sweet voice and smile.
'Geez, Sa-chan, no need to be so polite. We've been friends for like, forever!' Tomoka said with her loud voice.
'H-hai.' Sakuno said with a slight blush on her face.
'Hmm… I see, I see.' Tomoka said rubbing her chin.
'Eh? What do you mean?' Sakuno asked her face showing innocence.
'Now I know why boys like you.' Tomoka said, a smirk formed on her lips.
'Eh!? Tomo-chan, what are you saying?!' Sakuno said, her cheeks flushed with shades of pink.
'Sa-chan, stop pretending. You're beautiful and cute. A lot of guys really like you, you know. Try to observe your surroundings. They're looking at you.' Tomoka said.
'Iie. They are looking at you.' Sakuno said.
'Hmmm… on second thought, I guess your right haha.' Tomoka said totally forgetting about the things she said before.
They were about to enter but Tomoka suddenly exclaimed…
'I forgot something! Gotta go. See you Sa-chan!' she left Sakuno there.
Sakuno sighed.
When she proceeded on walking to the building, a line of girls bumped into her dragging her to something she doesn't wanna be involved to.
When the girls stopped, she realized that it was the dance club members.
'Thank you for joining us Ms. Twin-braided hair!' the leader said.
'Anou—I.'m not really…'
'Thank you! We really need participants now!'
Sakuno felt sorry for them so she decided to just play along.
'Anou.. I'm not sure if I can dance well.'
'It's okay! We'll teach you!'
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
The Seigaku tennis team's morning practice just finished.
A certain green-haired boy, known as the prince of tennis sat on a bench having his beloved 'Ponta Break'.
But here it comes, the thing he hates the most, when someone disturbs him.
'Nyaaa Ochibi!' a red-head called.
Without turning his head, he looked at his sempai-tachi with his cat-like eyes.
'Oi Echizen' another sempai of his; Momo called.
'Hn.' A simple reply from him.
As the two got closer, they had a sheepish smile on their lips. Not a smirk, but it does look weird.
'Nyaa, the dance club are practicing for the school festival.' Eiji started.
Ryoma just drunk his Ponta, with bore in his eyes, not minding any words coming from his sempais.
'And they decided to pick one representative from each club.' Momo continued, but Ryoma still didn't crack.
'Since our Ochibi is the most popular from the poll surveyed, he's chosen as our club's representative!' Eiji exclaimed.
'Ugh!' Ryoma's eye twitched as he involuntarily dropped the can in his hands.
'If you don't agree, Inui-sempai will surely give you one of his vegetable juices.' Momoshiro said a smirk forming on his lips.
Ryoma cleared his throat and had no choice but to agree with the club.
He entered the gym where the girls are practicing with the boys.
'Kyaaah! It's Ryoma-sama!' a girl exclaimed.
'Thank you for coming!' they all bowed.
'Hn.' He said.
'Anyway, please go this way. Your partner would be Ms. Ryuzaki.'
Ryoma followed and saw a girl with auburn-colored hair, tied in a twin-braided style.
'P-please to meet you. I'm Sakuno Ryuzaki.'
'Hn.'
'I've never talked to a boy before.' Sakuno thought nervously.
