Chapter 7
"Have you loved anyone before me?"
Sakuno spoke slowly and with vindication. She walked towards the boy infront of him and stared deep in his eyes. He looked at him and said
"No."
"And after me?" She asked again.
"No."
"CUT!"
Kaoru sensei of the Theatre guild shouted and clapped her hands.
"That was great Ryuzaki! here- you take the script home. study it and I'm looking forward to an excellent performance in the Summer showcase."
Sakuno thanked her profusely and hugged Tomo and Sakura who are waiting for her outside the room. It was a gift from fate who took away the LOVE out of her soul but brought back something better- her dreams.
She turned and saw Ryoma staring at her and called her out. Yeah- It was time for them to talk now.
"HI."
That was all he could say, how could he tell her that the contract was over?
But he had to, he mustered up all the courage he had the whole day.
"You want to play tennis with me?"
Ryoma looked at her, puzzled she wanted to play tennis?
"Yes."
"Come on!"
She caught his arms and dragged him to the empty tennis courts. It was only atleast 10 minutes before the school closes but she was still enthusiastic and took the tennis racket.
"Give me the first serve."
She called out and hit it. It was average, he thought and he hit it hard.like usual. The game continued and as the whole world might have predicted he won the first point but she just smiled and placed her racket down. she ran to his part of the tennis court. She took out a rather distinct pink cloth.
"Remember this?" She asked.
"How could I forget? My Life saver in the Fudomine match?"
"haha" she walked and blindfolded him before he knew it.
"Sakuno- what are you doing?"
"Dont take it off- please." She said and went in front of him.
She thought about this all night. she didn't sleep, She knew that Ryoma will find it hard to tell her that everything is over. She didn't Ryoma to see her looking so helpless- so she thought of blinding him for a moment.
"Sorry If I had to do this."
"What is this all about?" Ryoma asked,.
"I know that you'll eventually come back to Natsumi and I know that this is the Last day of the contract-"
"Sakuno" he cut in.
"No- Let me talk."
She fought her tears, It was now or never.
"Thank you for being YOU. The arrogant Ice prince who could laugh once in a while and Let a girl pick the Movie on a date. Thanks for letting me be a part of you.."
She found it hard to talk without stuttering..
"Now, I am handing you your happiness,, "
She held his hand and finally allowed herself to cry.
"I knew that you'll get her back. I just knew it, and I can say that I'm happy for you."
"Thank you." Ryoma said.
"I hope we'll never see each other again."
She choked out..
"Sakuno, what are you talking about? we are still friends"
she smiled at him.
"I wish that we'll never get to bump into each other in the halls. I hope we'll never have to be in the same room together.I want to forget everything about you and I will. Goodbye."
She kissed his cheeks and ran away from him. It was what she wanted, to say goodbye for good. They will be strangers, like they always were. Two people who didn't care about each other. Just like old times.
Ryoma removed the cloth in a matter of minutes and blinked a few times. He had the strangest feeling of hurt, It was more like the time that he broke it off with Natsumi only it was stronger this time. He suddenly couldn't picture himself without sakuno, A girl he barely knew and became her girlfriend for like how long? three days?? THREE crazy days..He could never figure it out.
To:Ryuzaki Sakuno Tomoka IT is finally over.
I'm happy for you. I always wanted ryoma to be with you and I will admit it only once. But I know that he will hurt you so much. Everything is done and its time for you to get ready for the-
SUMMER SHOWCASE!
You'll be playing a secondary role even if You are just a newbie. I'm so excited about it.. I'll always be her for you, together with Sakura..
-YOUR bestfriend..-
To: Tomoka Sakuno OVER
Everything that happened yesterday was a complete blur to me. good thing we didn't bump into each other.
HAH.
I'm sooo excited for the play and I'm doing everything to be the best one. Thanks again- for everything...
Ryoma was sitting in a restaurant and listening to Natsumi talk about her new Proposal for the Student Council. Every single thing was perfect. They were in the park. The weather was ideal and a few people are there.They had all the time in the world but he didn't feel complete.
Oh hell. Maybe it's just that He can't believe that Natsumi was already here and everything is just perfect.
Or is it?
He didn't understand what was wrong with him. Maybe he wasn't used to being with her again.
"Are you listening to me?"
Natsumi asked him and he was back to reality.
"Uh- yeah. sorry."
"is there something wrong?"
"nothing- hm. let's go.. I don't feel like staying here anymore."
He walked away with her.. but it felt like this was not were he belongs.
