"blah blah" Out loud speaking
'blah blah' Thoughts
The next afternoon when it was time to go, Sakuno quickly raced to the rooftop…without getting herself lost. Surprisingly, she had even beat Ryoma there. 'Ano, I wonder where Ryoma-kun is…he's the one who's usually here before me…wayyyyyyy before me…I wonder what's taking him so long.' She thought to himself.
Little did she know that, Ryoma was standing at the bottom of the stairs rehearsing what he was going to say and do. 'Ok, today, no fooling around…and no making excuses,' He thought scolding himself. 'I WILL tell her today! Even if it kills me!' And taking a big breath, he opened the door and walked in. When he walked in, he suddenly became breathless, there, standing in front of him, was the prettiest girl he had ever seen in his life!
"Ano, Ryoma-kun…what was it that you wanted to tell me yesterday but didn't?" She asked puzzled.
He settled himself down on the concrete and motioned for her to sit. Hesitantly, she sat down, not knowing what was coming. "Umm, Ryuzaki…the reason I asked you here was because…" He started talking.
'Wow, this doesn't seem like Ryoma-kun at all…he's usually so calm and cool…but right now he's stuttering like I usually do…weird' She thought.
"And that's how I feel." He finished.
"Gomen, Ryoma-kun, what did you say? I never heard all of it." She said blushing.
'For the love of it all…' He thought. 'But she's worth it. She's worth everything in this world.' "Ummm, well, firstly, make yourself comfortable. This might shock you a bit. I've turned into you…always stuttering when I see a certain someone…and that certain someone is you."
Her heart dropped in an instant when she heard that and she thought, 'Sugoii.' And she waited for him to continue…although she already knew what he was going to say next.
"I guess you've already figured it out. I have a crush on you for a long, long time. And I should have told you sooner, rather than just ignoring you. It was wrong of me, but can you ever forgive me for this?" He said with a pleading voice.
She looked at him, not from surprise…but by what she had just heard. Were those words real or was she dreaming…? Of course they were real! He really meant it. She jumped up and gave him a big hug and said, "Of course I forgive you Ryoma-kun!"
He looked at her and said, "You are my one and only Sakuno-chan."
Hearing him call her that struck a memory and she asked, "That day, when were supposed to go inside…did you call me Sakuno? Or was I just dreaming? And what was it you were going to tell me…?"
He pulled down his cap hiding his red cheeks and replied, "Hai Sakuno-chan, I did call you that…it just came out…and by that time…I already knew you liked me, because Horio and Tomoka came up to me and told me…"
"Ohh." Was all she could say. 'So they did go up and tell him, I thought they were just joking around when they said that. But I'm glad they did go and tell him.' She thought.
"Now," He started, interrupting her thoughts, "that we both know about each other…what about I ask you to be my girlfriend?"
"A-a-a-ano Ryoma-kun…I don't think my oba-san's going to like it that I have a boyfriend already." She replied sadly.
"Don't worry," He said soothingly. "It'll be our little secret. We won't let any of the senpai or our friends know. And, we'll keep the talking off school property. When you're ready to let everyone know, I'll be at your side to help you. Alright?"
"Hai Ryoma-kun." She said happily, giving him a big bear hug. "Domo arigatou! I love you!" She gathered her stuff and was getting ready to leave, and as she was getting up, he grabbed her wrists…
A/N: I know! Ryoma's too OCC! Gomen, gomen! But I didn't know how else to do his part! Please review and tell me what you thought of this chapter!
