"Sakuno! Dinner is ready!" Sumire shouted from the kitchen downstairs.
"Hai!" Sakuno shouted as a reply back as she jumped down the stairs to the dining room.
Sumire smiled at her grand-daughter as they ate. It was the last day of the holidays and the two of them, along with the Seigaku regulars had spent the entire holiday at the mountain skiing. Which, according to Inui, was meant to improve their hand-eye-leg coordination.
"Tomorrow's the start of school." Sumire informed her. Sakuno replied to this by making a fake groaning sound.
They both laughed. Sakuno actually liked going to school. To her, it meant more time watching Ryoma from afar. Although she'd already spent a whole holiday doing that. She finished her dinner and placed her used plate into the sink. Then got ready for bed and tomorrow…
Pok.
Pok.
Pok.
The familiar sound of the tennis balls rang through Sakuno's ear. She turned to her right and there was Ryoma, running around the tennis court chasing after the balls Tezuka hit for him.
Sakuno smiled at them both. In return, she received a straight face and one hidden under a white cap. Baka Ryoma-kun. She headed for the boy's change rooms to drop off the daily ponta he always forgot to but at the vending machine. As soon as she dropped it off, she walked out of the change rooms and headed for roll call.
Expectedly, twenty or so girls crowded around her asking her for tips to get to Ryoma's heart. Unfortunately for them, Sakuno don't do things like that…she wasn't even sure they were talking to her…like…she wasn't his girlfriend.
"Eeto, c-can I please get to my homeroom? S-Sorry." One by one those girls left her, finding other ways to deliver messages to Ryoma. Sakuno breathed a sigh of relief and walked to her homeroom. But was stopped by a group of eight girls.
"So…I hear that you have spent the holidays with our prince. Am I correct?" The group leader Arina said as she glared at poor Sakuno.
"Anou…eeto," She was left with no choice. "…h-hai."
"Well let me inform you that he is mine…uh- ours and if I find you with him again for any reason, we will personally-"
"You're too loud."
Arina and her group turned to find him standing with the spiky haired boy, known to them as "the handsome bachelor".
"You realized that we can hear EVERYTHING from down the corridor?" Momo laughed uncontrollably. Ryoma wasn't paying much attention and walked to Sakuno, who was now shaking all over.
"Sank yuu… for the ponta.
"Anou- it's okay Ryoma-kun."
"Find me at lunch. I have to give you something."
What is that something?? Dun dun dun…
