Chapter One

It was a cloudy and rainy day in England, but that didn't matters to a beautiful brunette. It was the saddest day of her life. Her best friend died in a car accident and this time she wasn't able to save her because of a stupid fight they have one week ago.

- (crying) I'm …. I'm so sorry. If I hadn't been so stubborn, you will probably be alive. If only I had listen to you.

-Don't worry Saa-chan. It's not your fault. You know that she love you and she probably won't be happy seeing you this sad. You need to let it go. Let's go, we need to catch a fly.

-Hai, oni-sama

/Three years ago/

Sakuno Ryuuzaki was a beautiful and happy student in Tokyo. She was the couch's granddaughter of the tennis club of Seigaku. At the age of 12, she found love at first sight with no other than Ryoma Echizen, the prince of tennis. Unfortunately for Sakuno, Ryoma only consider her as a not irritating female friend. But despite that, Sakuno was trying so hard to more than a friend to the prince. Today was her first day of 3rd year of middle school and she has the feeling that everything is going to change.

"Today is the day I'm going to make Ryoma-kun notice me. Obaa-chan is going to announce the pairs for the mixed tournament. Maybe if I am Ryoma-kun pair, he is going to start seeing me more than a friend"- Thought an enthusiastic Sakuno.

-Ohayo, Ryuuzaki.

-Ohayo Ryoma-kun. Ano… are you happy for returning to the tennis club?

-I think so

-So, I heard this year you're going to be the captain. Are you happy?

-Hn. She's talking too much; maybe too much time with that loud girl is affecting her. What was her name again?

-Sakuno, Ryoma-sama. Ohayo!

-See you, Ryuuzaki

-Ahh… hai see you Ryoma-kun

-Mou… Ryoma-sama is escaping from me again

-Ohayo Tomo-chan. Do not worry about it. You know how Ryoma-kun is.

-So tell me Sakuno. Do you and Ryoma-sama are dating? Because every time I spot you, you are with Ryoma-sama.

-No..no Tomo-chan. Ryoma-kun and I are only friends. But I wish we were more.

-Sakuno, look at the time! We are going to be late.

-Ahh… Tomo-chan, wait.

Both best friends run to their new class. When they step a foot in the class, they notice that most of their friends were there. Horio, Katsuo and Kachiro were in at the back of the class and Ryoma was sleeping in a random seat. Tomoka and Sakuno hurry to find a seat before the teacher arrives. What everyone noticed is that there was an empty seat next to Ryoma.

-Sakuno, I heard that there is a transfer student from America. Horio told me that she was blonde and really beautiful. But don't worry about it. I will never let her get close to Ryoma-sama.

-Tomo-chan, you cannot decide for Ryoma-kun

-On which side are you?

-Good morning.

-Good morning, sensei

-Today we start a new year and we have a transfer student from America. You can pass.

The door open and a beautiful, blonde girl appear behind it. She has big, round, blue eyes and look fragile. Every boy in the class was wondering. Does she have a boyfriend? Sakuno was impressed with her beauty and she felt a pain in her chest, like a bad feeling.

-Introduce you.

- -Hi, my name is Alice Cassidy. It's a pleasure to meet you.
