Door no. 2: The concert [revised]
"Ryoma-kun!" Someone shouted.
The said boy turned around to see one of his closest friends, Huzashi Yuriko.
"Good morning Yuriko-chan." He greeted.
"Good morning Ryoma-kun." She greeted.
"Good morning guys." Their friend, Tsukire Hiyachi, said, popping out of no where but they were used to that because of Ryoma.
"Good morning Hiyachi-kun." They said.
They walked to the school premises. They passed the tennis courts to greet their sempai.
"Good morning Choutarou-sempai." They said.
"Good morning. I was just thinking. Ryoma-san, how would you like to see a concert with me tomorrow? Some performances there would be Pachelbel's Canon in D, Mozart's Fantasia in d minor, Beethoven's Fur Elise and Moonlight Sonata." Choutarou requested, knowing well that those pieces were the junior's favorites.
After what Choutarou said, Ryoma's ears perked up and his eyes widened by a fraction.
"So you'll go?" Choutarou asked.
"Sure sempai. Where shall we meet?" Ryoma asked.
"The place is a bit far from here so we'll meet at the music shop we went to two days ago around 2PM." Choutarou answered.
"Okay sempai. You better go back to practice or you'll bet punished by the captain." Ryoma said while smirking.
Choutarou realized that Ryoma was right. He bid his friends a quick goodbye then got back to practice.
"Way to spoil the fun." Yuriko teased.
"This happens every time we do this." Ryoma sighed.
"We better go. We still have to finish that project." Hiyachi reminded them.
"You're right." They agreed. The trio went to class with just enough time to finish their project.
"Choutarou-sempai, you're late." Ryoma said.
"Sorry about that. I woke up a little late." Choutarou apologized.
"Whatever. Let's just get going." Ryoma said and walked away.
"That was the best concert I ever gone to." Ryoma said once they were outside.
"Mine too. Eh?" Choutarou exclaimed.
"What is it sempai?" Ryoma asked.
"Sakuno-chan!" Choutarou called out.
'Sakuno? Ah! Ryuzaki Sakuno, she's from last year. I remember now.' Ryoma thought.
"Choutarou-kun! Ryoma-kun?" Sakuno asked.
"I think we should take a seat first. There's a near café here." Ryoma said, ignoring Sakuno's questioning stare for awhile. The two agreed and went to the café.
"Hello Ryuzaki, fancy meeting you here." Ryoma said.
"You know Choutarou-kun?" Sakuno asked.
"He's my sempai at my new school." Ryoma explained.
"Ah. I heard that you transferred but I never imagined it to be Hyotei." Sakuno chuckled.
"Me either. How do you know each other anyway?" Ryoma asked, curious.
"We're cousins. Sakuno-chan's father is my mother's younger brother." Choutarou explained.
"Ah…" Ryoma drifted off.
"So, how have you been Ryoma-kun? You just disappeared after school ended." Sakuno asked, changing the subject.
"We went back to America. We went back here to Japan but my mom decided to move with me and my cousin." Ryoma stated.
"So Meino-san is there as well?" Sakuno asked.
"Aa…" Ryoma nodded.
"How did you two meet anyway?" Sakuno asked her cousin.
"Actually, his friends, Yuriko-san and Hiyachi-san, told me that their classmate wants to join the music club but I never expected it would be Ryoma-san." Choutarou said.
"Music club? You didn't join the tennis club?" Sakuno asked.
"No. I didn't. I joined the music and photography clubs. We're in the library club as well." Ryoma said.
"Oh… What a coincidence. I also joined those clubs in Seigaku." Sakuno giggled.
"You still practice tennis?" Choutarou asked both juniors.
"Yes, I do but I didn't join the club anymore." Sakuno said.
"Sometimes but I mostly take pictures or play music." Ryoma said.
"Aa…" Choutarou drifted off, understanding his cousin and his friend.
They, I mean Choutarou and Sakuno, chatted a little more while Ryoma drank his Ponta while listening to the cousins catch up with each other.
"Well, I have to go." Sakuno said after looking at her watch.
"Neh, Ryuzaki. How about I train you sometime?" Ryoma suggested suddenly.
"Really? Thanks Ryoma-kun!" Sakuno chirped happily.
"No problem." Ryoma waved it off.
"I'll just call you later. Can I have your phone, please?" Sakuno asked.
They traded numbers then went out of the café after paying.
"I'll see you next time." Sakuno said.
"We better go home too, Choutarou-sempai." Ryoma reminded his sempai.
"Sure. Bye Sakuno-chan." Choutarou said.
"Bye Ryuzaki." Ryoma said.
"Bye!" Sakuno called out then left.
"Why did you do that?" Choutarou asked.
"I'm just doing her a favor. She's done many good things for me and this is my way of thanks." Ryoma said, understanding what Choutarou was talking about.
"Are you sure or you just want to spend time with her?" Choutarou asked teasingly.
"No, I don't. I don't like her that way. She has potential anyway. She used to play to impress me back then, but now I guess she's playing for herself." Ryoma said. Choutarou gave him a look.
"I'm not as dense as I used to be you know. People change through time." Ryoma reasoned out.
"You're right. I wouldn't believe you changed that much though. You're still a cocky brat even if it isn't in tennis." Choutarou said.
"You say that yet your still here." Ryoma reminded him while smirking.
"You win this round." Choutarou said then laughed while ruffling Ryoma's hair.
"Choutarou-sempai!" Ryoma complained.
