Jealousy.

It had to be put into action. It had to be done, so he promised it shall be done. Walking along the corridors on the second floor of the high school building, Ryoma had a smug face turning on him as he walked in a fast pace towards his classroom…

Towards where she was.

So with the slamming of the door, he was in. The air stood still as all his classmates turned around to face him, the infamous prodigy.

"Is it true?!" He asked her forcefully, slamming both his hands on top of her desk. She looked up at him, obviously surprised.

"Huh?! Wha-- what are you talking about Ryoma-kun?" She asked in mid-shock. The guy just looked at her intensely, his eyes not wavering away from her.

"Kintarou." He said in a low, dangerous tone. People could swear that his eyes were flaming. "Did you go out with him?"

"Kintarou?! What are you talking about?" She asked, stuttering a bit due to the uncomfortable situation.

"Did. You. Go. Out. With. HIM?"

"Mou Ryoma-kun... if I say I did. What would that even matter to you?" She asked him questioning his sudden jealousy towards Kintarou.

"Don't say that. Just answer me."

"Eh-- I just agreed to go out with him..."

"Since when?"

"What?" She shrieked in disbelief. "Why do you even care?"

"Since when."

"What? What since when? I--I don't understand Ryoma-kun?" She continued to stutter... and she thought she was all over it.

"Since when did you start going out with him?" He asked her again, now this time it was more specific.

"We haven't even gone out yet." She answered him freely, then realized something. "And-- and why am I answering all your questions! It's not even you're business!"

"When?"

"Huh? Ryoma-kun?! Are you even listening to me?!"

"I asked, when."

"On Saturday! Why?" She blurted out.

"No." He said so suddenly it made Sakuno stop flushing.

"Excuse me?" She questioned him. "What right do you have to even stop me from going out with Kintarou-kun?"

"You have practice that day."

"We practice at Sunday Ryoma-kun."

"Not anymore we're not." He said, regaining his nonchalant self back. He looked up, outside the window from Sakuno's desk. Then he sighed and walked out of the room, leaving a very confused Sakuno on her desk. "Saturday. Same time, same place. And bring your purse."

She could only stare at him.

He was not jealous... The Echizen Ryoma, tennis prodigy on his freshman year, the winner of consecutive USA Opens, and different more tournaments was never the jealous type. He wouldn't care less if a couple was lip-locking in front of him, he'd just move on without even giving the scene a single glance.

He was cool and nonchalant. He barely showed humanly emotions of weakness and those other feelings that made people swell-up and cry frantically. He had a cool exterior that was hard to break especially by a girl…

"Ryoma-kun!"

He could only smirk.

"Mada mada dane." He said mockingly as he continued his way out of the room, his hand waving to her a good-bye.
