I sat on the bench, stretching my arms out
I sat on the bench, stretching my arms out. I had just finished my training and I was tired. I couldn't wait to get back home and go to sleep on my soft bed. I packed up all my stuff and headed to the gate. As I walked toward the gate, I saw Ryuzaki Sakuno, leaning against the cement fence near the gate. I approached her, catiously as to not disturb her. She looked sad, like she would burst into tears at any minute. As I came closer, I placed my hand on her shoulder. Her head snapped around and she looked me in the face.
"Anything wrong, Ryuzaki-san?" I asked, setting down my stuff next to hers.
"Don't worry about me…I'm fine" She replied, looking back at the sunset on the horizon.
"Were you waiting for me?" I asked. I hated making people wait for me. It made me feel like an idiot.
"No…I…uh….am waiting for my grandma to come and pick me up" she replied once more.
"Oh…what did you stay late for, if not for me?" I asked once again.
"My grandma had a meeting to go to right after school and I just got finished practicing with Momo-senpai…" she replied.
I leaned against the fence and closed my eyes, smirking.
"I'll wait with you…" I said, laying back as much as I could.
"Ano….T..Thank you Ryoma-kun…." She stuttered.
There was a moment of silence.
"Um…R..Ryoma-kun?" she broke the silence.
"Yes?" I asked.
"My grandma has another meeting next week at the same time, but Momo-senpai won't be able to help me because he is practicing with Fuji….Would you please help me practice next week?" she explained.
I smirked. It wasn't like I had anything better to do. This school was way boring and I had to get away from the daily routine.
"Sure…I'll take you on!" I replied, grabbing my stuff.
"Ok…Thank you…Ryoma-kun" she thanked me.
I nodded and smirked.
"Ryuzaki-san…your ride is here.." I said, walking off into the distance. I turned around to see her scramble for her stuff and pile it all into her car. I waved goodbye and walked home.
"Whatcha late for?" My dad asked as I walked right into the door.
"It wasn't a date if that is what you were hoping for…" I sassed. My dad was so annoying!
"Dang it!" he replied, stomping out of the room like a little child.
"Grow up dad! Your acting like a little kid right now!" I said, taking my shoes off.
"Keep your mouth shut, brat, and maybe, just maybe, you'll live until tomorrow" he yelled back at me.
"Sure thing dad" I replied, going back up into my room and closing my door. Tomorrow was going to be a tiring day. I needed all the sleep I could get.
