Sakuno yawned. It was 7:00 A.M. and time to get up for school. It was halfway into the school year. Grade 2 in Junior High. Which means Echizen Ryoma has been gone for about 8 or 9 months. It pained her so much to see him leave. She put on her brightest smile when she gave him that tennis ball. When she heard that he was back, boy she was about ready to go up and tackle him-- and would have if she was Tomoka. That's another thing that made her life miserable, Tomoka. She could be fine right now without Ryoma. Well, it'd still hurt but she could get through it with her best friend.

But she was gone. Tomoka had annouced her family was moving to America about 2 weeks before school would start. It turned Sakuno's life into a pit of misery. Sakuno was terrible at making friends. The only true friend she had was Tomoka and she only got other friends because of Tomoka. If she really tried, she could have been fine, probably. But face it. If the guy you had a huge crush on and cared for so much, left you and then you best friend in the world left you, would you want to make new friends? Sakuno knew she couldn't replace either of them. She got out of bed, took a shower and got dressed.

She doesn't wear braided pig-tails anymore because she no longer cared about anything. She would get her homework and chores done but otherwise the only thing she'd do is sit in her room and watch Ryoma play tennis on the TV. She'd also practice tennis and has gotten significantly better. But if her Ryoma-kun couldn't see her improvement she didn't care. She ate breakfast and went to school.

She sat down at her desk and pretended to look over her homework when in reality she was daydreaming about Ryoma's match last night with a famous tennis player. Of course Ryoma won. She was happy for him, really. It's just...she only sees him on the TV.

'Mada Mada Dane, Ryuzaki.' She remembered him saying once. He didn't say it to be mean or critizise. She knew what his intentions were. They were of encouragement.

"I'm going to go crazy!!! She wouldn't go out with me either! 'I'm in love with someone else' Was her reason!!! THAT'S EVERY GIRLS REASON!!!" Said Kyo, Horio, Katsuo, and Kachiro's friend.

"Face it man, no one likes you!" Said Horio.

"Yeah, and they also don't like every single guy in the school!!! There is not one guy I know that has a girlfriend and if he does she's from a different school. Does anyone know why that is?" Said Akira their other friend.

"Hey, maybe it's because every girl in this school is a member of a fan club of a guy that steals the hearts of every single girl! Haha, like one man could do that!" Akira and Kyo laughed and laughed when Horio, Katsuo, and Kachiro stared at them, pondering the thought. Sakuno peered over at them. Thinking.

"You don't think..." Started Kachiro.

"It couldn't be..." Continued Katsuo.

"It probably is!!!" Finished Horio. Kyo and Akira looked at them.

"Nani?" They asked in unsion.

"There is a fan club for a guy who used to go to school here. We thought it disbanded after the president of the club left but..." Sakuno felt a pang in her heart. Horio looked over at Sakuno. "Oi, Ryuzaki-chan!" Kyo and Akira looked at him puzzled. They wondered why he would ask her. To them, she was not only shy but she never spoke, never smiled, didn't have any friends, and certainly wasn't the type to know about a fan club. They all walked over to Sakuno.

"Umm..err..ever since...umm...Osakada-san left...has the fan club been dispersed?" Horio asked. Kyo and Akira looked at her. They noted that her eyes looked oh so sad. How could she not be when he was talking about the two people she most cared about in the world that were now gone? Sakuno opened her mouth to speak.

"A-ano...I think it's gotten bigger..." Came the sweetest voice they ever heard. They had never heard her speak. Not once. Horio sighed.

"You mean to tell me the reason none of the guys can get girlfriends is because of one guy! Who doesn't even go to this school no more? I hope he never comes back!" Kyo said. The trio stared, shocked and him and then looked down at Sakuno, who looked like she was about to cry.

"D-don't say that!!! Uh..err..Ryuzaki-chan don't cry!!! He really didn't mean that! I'm sure he'll come back someday! He even said he would!" Kachiro tried to cheer up Sakuno, failing.

"If he wanted to come back, then he would have after the tournament. He's never coming back. I know that!" Tears threatened to fall down Sakuno's cheeks as she felt someone come up from behind her.

"Who's never coming back?"

OoOoOoOo
