"Your gonna help me or not? Sayu said annoyingly
Ryoma sat up and leaned against the bark of the tree.
"In one condition…"
"HUH??"
"Give me all I want"
"NANI!!"
Chapter 2: The Prince vs. The New Guy
"Why the hell I will give you all you want?!" Sayu rant
"Well I said that's the condition…" Ryoma said in nonchalant tone
"What am I? Your FREAKING GENIE?!" Sayu yelled and not caring if anybody staring at them right now
Silence…a vein pop on Sayu's head.
"I 'M JUST ASKING FOR DIRECTION AND THERE'S A CONDITION!!"
Silence again…a vein pop again.
"You're so great! Really!! " Sayu continues to rant
Silence again and a vein pop again.
" If you don't want to help me then don't!! Do I look like somebody to be slaved?" "Why when I ask somebody for direction there is a consequence? What's wrong with these people?
Silence.
"Why wont you say anything!!" Sayu rant
Silence.
"SAY SOMETHING!!"
"…You're the one who ask for help…" Ryoma said
"I KNOW THAT SO DON'T REPEAT IT!!" Sayu's voice echoed in the park, he looked at Ryoma who had plastered a nonchalant face. Sayu just sigh and closed his eyes. She can feel her head is aching.
"Since you're done ranting, let me ask you a few questions" Ryoma said
"How do I ask this politely like a nice person…Are you gay?? No, too…straight forward… " Why do you sound like a girl??...ummm…I'll end up being rude…hmm… how about "Are you a homo person?" Ryoma mentally slapped his forehead. Scratch that… ummm… how about…"
"Are you positive that you are a boy?" Ryoma mentally slapped his forehead again. "Damn, why it is so hard to make a nice and non-rude question?!"
Sayu opened his eyes in shock of what Ryoma said but he did not lose his composure. He looked at Ryoma disbelievingly and scoffed.
"Nani?! What are you talking about?" Sayu said
"Nothing…Just curious why you sound so similar and the way you act…just like a girl…" Ryoma said straight to Sayu's eyes
Sayu turn away when he notice the gaze of Ryoma
"Ne…You're just hallucinating…Maybe you should not play tennis too much…The sun does things to your wits…" Sayu said as he leaned and put hand on Ryoma's forehead, Ryoma swat away Sayu's hand as if he was burned. He tugged the bill of his cap to hide his upcoming blush, Sayu just smirked. Ryoma just glared ay him and he snorted.
They sat there in silence, enjoying each others presence. Ryoma didn't know why he is comfortable in this new boy, like he known him for so long. He just closed his eyes and let the cool breeze damp in his handsome face.
" Ne, chibi-tennis regular…" Sayu said not looking at him. Ryoma narrowed is eyes but didn't say anything.
"…why do you play tennis?"
Ryoma sighed. Sayu just ignored his question because by the look on Ryoma, he will not answer his question even if he tries too. He was about to say "just forget it…" when,
"…Because…"
Sayu looked at him. Ryoma leaned his head on the bark of the tree.
"I want to beat someone…no… I want to beat them and I want to become stronger…"
Gushes of wind surround them.
"Who are they?"
Ryoma closed his eyes
"I want a Ponta"
"Ehh?!"
"Where's Echizen? The match will starts at 20 minutes…" Oishi said worriedly while pacing.
"Why don't we go and look for him Eiji-senpai? Momo said
"Good idea Momo-chin! Let's go! Let's do the operation must-find-ochibi-before-tweny-minutes!! Eiji said hyperactively. Momo just sweatdropped and they just continue to dash off.
"Hey matte!!" Oishi yelled.
"Don't worry they will come here with Echizen" Fuji said and smiled.
"I said I want a Ponta. Grape is my flavor." And he lay down again.
"Nani!!" This guy is really something… why on earth will I get him some ponta...Mou… who are these people is he talking to?
Buried on his deep thoughts, he didn't seem to notice that he was already walking towards the vendo machine; not realizing that he was already under Echizen's spell .He was saying colorful words at Ryoma. While back at Echizen's direction, he was smirking.
"..Baka…" he whispered.
Sayu slot a coin at the vendo machine, and just sigh again.
"Mou…why this always happen to me? If my three cousins wasn't at the house I rather spend time reading a book rather than this… but I want to watch oni-chan's match…Hmm… now that I realize it I haven't seen him play a match before… I like to watch him just--
His thoughts were cut off when he bumped into someone once again. He stumbled backward but in his quick reflexes he remained standing. He looked up again to see a guy with a spiky black hair and a guy with a red hair with a bandage in his right cheek.
"Wait…I know this guy…ah!!"
"YOU!!" they both yell while pointing their index finger
"You're the two guys earlier!!" Sayu said
"And you're the guy from earlier!! Momo said
"It must be fate that we meet up again!!" Eiji said as he bounced happily.
Momo and Sayu just sweatdropped.
"By the way have you seen a boy who wears a seigaku jersey and have a white cap? 'cause we have to find him before our match starts." Momo said
"Ahh… that cocky, jerk, conceited boy over there?" Sayu said and he pointed a thumb at Ryoma who was leaning against the tree.
Momo and Eiji look at that direction and they yelled in unison.
" OIII!! ECHIZEN/OCHIBI!!"
Ryoma jerked and look at the direction where the voice was. He saw his senpais along with Sayu.
" OCHIBI!!COME HERE HAYAKU!! Eiji yelled
Ryoma just shrugged and walked towards the three boys when Ryoma was at the side of Sayu. Momo and Eiji give him a headlock.
" Echizen!! Buchou is becoming really pissed off when you left even if it is not obvious in his face!! Momo roared and gave Ryoma a hard pat on his head
" Nya! Ochibi! if you want to go somewhere please inform us, much better to buchou!! Oishi almost fainted because of worrying!! Eiji said and headlock him hard
"Ittai!! Let go of me Momo-senpai! Kikumaru-senpai! Ryoma cried
Sayu just watched them with mixed emotions…happy because he can see Ryoma suffering as the two headlocks seems to torture him…ahh…sweet revenge…pity because of it really kinda hurt him though.
"So Echizen is his name, Hmm…they seems to be very good friends" Sayu thought and slightly taken aback when he heard Ryoma called his name.
" Sayu…" Ryoma said in nonchalant voice
"Nani?"
"My ponta" Ryoma said
Sayu look on his right hand to where he was holding the ponta.
"O-oh yeah…here…"
Sayu handed the cold ponta to Ryoma who took it and drink it coolly
"Sayu is your name right?" Momo asked
Sayu nodded
"Sayu-chan, it's your money right?" Eiji asked
Once again Sayu nodded
"Then why did you buy Echizen a ponta even though it is your money? Momo asked once again
"Well, I was asking him where the seigaku's match is and he told me he'll bring me there only if I give him all he wants. He then asked for a Ponta and the minute I know I was…"
The two senpais look at Echizen with disappointed looks on their faces and began yelling at Echizen that Sayu wasn't able to finish his sentences.
"Ochibi tara, you're a bad boy!!" Eiji scolded Echizen childishly.
"Echizen you're so sadistic!" Momo said and he headlock Ryoma again.
" Ittai! Momo-senpai!! He's the one who asked my help!!"
"And I asked you nicely and patiently!!" Sayu said annoyingly. Echizen turned around and faced him.
"And that's being nice?!" He said sarcastically as he looked at Sayu annoyed.
"So that's why you are in a hurry earlier? Then why didn't you tell us that you will watch us play? You should have asked us! Nya!" Eiji said
Sayu looked at him dumbfounded and said, "you're right…"
"Oh!before anything else, by the way I'm Momoshiro Takeshi but you can call me Momo-chan" Momo said with a confident grin
"Nya! I'm Kikumaru Eiji! I'm a 3rd year high school; Momo is a 2nd year and here…" He grabs Ryoma by the collar.
"This is Echizen Ryoma, he is a 1st year…where all a seigaku regulars and also a high school student in Seishun Gakuen Senior High school
Sayu eyed Ryoma for a few seconds and said
"You're a regular?" Sayu asked dumbfounded. "Regulars wear jersey."
"You have eyes right? Bet you can see I'm wearing one" Echizen retracted with his cold tone voice.
"Oh right…I saw it earlier…hmp! But his attitude really irritates me! So bad natured, ill-mannered, annoying fella…"
"Hmm…I bet you are good because if not you won't make it to be a regular" Sayu said while smirking
"And I guess you won't be as any good as I am" Ryoma said sarcastically
"Conceited jerk!!" Sayu said with anger on his voice ready to strangle Ryoma.
"Maa, maa, before you kill each other let's go now before buchou make us run laps all around Japan." Eiji said
"Okay. I want to see if that not-so-tall lad I met a while ago was as good as he barks." Sayu sarcastically said. Echizen, who was already on their front walking paused, then turned to Sayu. He scrutinized Sayu.
"You're not as tall as you think you are so don't talk so big, kiddo" Echizen striked.
"Huh? Why so hurt? Did I say it was you I'm talking about?" Sayu striked back. Echizen glared at him. Momo and Eiji were waiting for Echizen to get the other lad back but he remained speechless. He just finished drinking his Ponta, shoot it next to the trash can and walked away from them.
"He's annoyed." Momo commented. They were following him with utmost whispers.
"Is it my fault? Should I apologize?" Sayu said walking in between Eiji and Momo. He was slightly alarmed by Echizen's silence. But he likes the way he gets annoyed. He's cute. He thought.
"Nya! Don't bother! It'll pass away." Eiji said. Not far from them, they could already hear those loud cheers coming from the first court.
"Looks like, Fuji is on now." Eiji exclaimed and unintentionally had grabbed Sayu. It made them look running together while Momo were behind them running as well.
