AN: Hi guys, I'm sorry for the late update. Net connection aint available right now. Used my bf's laptop and wifi lolololol. Hope you guys have fun reading this .

PoT is not mine.

Sakuno walked away from her prince and out of the courts to get ready for their morning classes.

"Ryoma-kun seemed weird a while ago.." Sakuno thought.

"SAKUNOOOO , SAKUNOOOOO!" Tomoka ran towards her bestfriend.

Sakuno was still deep in thought as she walked, thinking about the situation earlier.

-Flashback-

"Ryuzaki-chan, Echizen is out of focus right now.. could you give him some words of

encouragement?" Fuji whispered.

Sakuno blushed, she cheers for her prince all the time but she felt so nervous.

She nodded as she looked at her senpai.

"Thank you Ryuzaki-chan" Fuji smiled.

-End of Flashback-

"Sakunoooo, hellloooo" Tomoka waved her hands infront of her bestfriend.

"To-Tomo-chan! when did you get here?" Sakuno snapped out from her thoughts.

"What do you mean 'when did you get here' I've been calling your name for a couple of minutes

now!" Tomoka replied.

"Sorry Tomo-chan." Sakuno apologized.

"It's fine, what were you thinking about anyway?" Tomoka asked.

"Nothing.." Sakuno sighed.

As a couple of hours passed by, it was time for the literature class. Sakuno absolutely loved

literature even though she doesnt talk much.

Their topic was romance, something Sakuno is familiar with.

But surprisingly our princess is not paying attention in class. She's still recalling her

prince's weirdness and her senpai's favor.

"Ryuzaki-kun could you give us an example of a love poem?" the teacher asked.

There was no response from Sakuno, she didn't hear a thing, AGAIN.

"Ryuzaki-kun." The teacher repeated.

"H-hai!" Sakuno responded as she quickly stood up, making some of her classmates to snicker in

the process.

Ryoma noticed it, he looked at her. Curious and worried at the same time, he continued looking

at his princess.

"Ryuzaki-kun.. a love poem?" The teacher asked.

"Eto..

In every swing his arm makes

it equals to how my heart aches

He overwhelms me eveytime we're together

I'll get used to it even if I have to wait forever.

Being with him I couldn't utter,

but when his beside me I want to flutter..." Sakuno recited.

Everyones eyes were on her.

Awed, amazed, her teacher almost teared up.

"G-great poem.. who's the author?" The teacher asked, almost choking.

"I.. I am, sir." Sakuno replied.

"Amazing." Her teacher commented clapping.

"Thank you." Sakuno smiled as she took her sit.

Ryoma slumped on his chair with a smirk on his face. He knew that Sakuno was talking about him,

it fed his ego.

"Ryuzaki's poem, I wonder who is it." Katsuo sighed as he thought.

"Obviously it's Ryoma-sama!" Tomoka replied.

Ryoma was quietly listening, making a smug look.

"Maybe... But I think she's talking about that sleeping Hyotei guy." Horio added.

This made Ryoma frown, his mood turned fowl.

"What makes you say that?" Tomoka asked.

"Well, I've seen them together alot.. and Ryuzaki said about waiting, what if it's because of

their age gap? Swing, obviously cause he plays tennis and let's face it. That weird guy is

overwhelming when he's not sleepy." Horio explained.

"I see your point but as her bestfriend I still think it's about Ryoma-sama." Tomoka spat.

Ryoma was definitely pissed, not because of his friend's deduction but the fact that there are

50 - 50 percent chances that Jirou was the guy Sakuno was talking about in her poem.

Meanwhile, Sakuno was just relieved that she got out of a tight spot.

"That was close." Sakuno sighed.

After the class, next was math.

Everyone was waiting for their math teacher when suddenly Sakuno's grandma came in.

"Yo everyone." Sumire casually greeted.

"I bet you're wondering why I'm here. Well it's because of the school sports festival, it's in 2 weeks.

Just to remind all of you. I'm also asking who will be the 2 representatives from your class?

Any volunteers?" Sumire added.

"Sakuno, you should go! It'll make you less... well... timid!" Tomoka suggested.

"Ehh?" Sakuno was baffled when suddenly Tomoka tickled her making Sakuno raise her hands.

"Ohhh Sakuno, I'm surprised! Good for you my dear!" Sumire said proudly.

"B-but Gran-" Sakuno was cut off.

"I volunteer." Ryoma coolly raised his hand and stood up. This made everyone look at the prince,

he never volunteered for anything.

Sakuno looked at her prince with a huge blush on her face.

"Well okay then, Sakuno and Ryoma will be the representatives." Sumire said as she scribbled

their names on her notebook.

"Fufufufufufu" Sumire laughed inside her thoughts.

Deep inside Sumire was happy that Ryoma volunteered, if he didn't , she would've picked him

anyway.

"Okay that will be all." Sumire said as she left the classroom.

"Isn't that great Sakuno? You're gonna work with Ryoma-sama~" Tomoka commented as she pat her

bestfriends shoulder.

"W-well.. yeah." Sakuno sighed.

"What's wrong Sakuno? You sound like you're not happy.." Tomoka asked with a worried face.

"N-no, it's not that. I'm definitely happy." Sakuno replied.

Sakuno told the truth, she was happy but she found her prince so weird earlier. It's not

something to make a fuss about but she wasn't used to it.

Throughout their classes, Sakuno was dazed. So Ryoma took action.

"What's up?" Ryoma asked.

"Eh? Nothing.." Sakuno sighed.

"Hmmm.. " Ryoma hummed as he thought.

"Hmm?" Sakuno asked.

"Have you seen the movie, The Pack?" Ryoma asked.

"No, why?" Sakuno asked back.

"That movie was good, it'll make you go "what the pack".." Ryoma looked at her waiting for a

reaction.

"Eto.. could that be.. a joke Ryoma-kun?" Sakuno asked.

"Yeah.." Ryoma sighed thinking that being funny was off of his list that his old man said to

him.

"Eto.. Ryoma-kun.." Sakuno sighed.

"Hnn?" Ryoma replied.

"Don't get mad at me but..You're acting weird... I mean, I like your openness earlier and you're

trying to cheer me up with a joke... but Ryoma-kun... That's what I was worried about..." Sakuno

explained with red on her cheeks.

"Is that so?.. Don't worry about it, it won't happen again. Just a mistake an old man advised me

about something." Ryoma said bluntly.

"Uhm.. Don't get me wrong, I think it's very charming.. I was just taken aback because usually

you're not like that.. but I think Ryoma-kun is best acting as Ryoma-kun.." Sakuno smiled.

That made the prince blush, he was lost for words.

"I see.." Ryoma said hiding his smirk.

Sakuno chuckled looking at her prince.

"Let's work hard as representatives." Sakuno said.

"Yeah." Ryoma replied.

The day flew by as Sakuno and Ryoma knew it, they were ordered to go to the representatives

meeting before going to clubs.

They walked together, filling every hallway with their presence.

"Ryuzaki.." Ryoma said barely leaving his lips.

"Y-yes..?" Sakuno asked.

"About...about your poem.." Ryoma said nearly choked.

"Who were you talking about?" Ryoma continued, he took his chances in asking. He cared when

she's involve.

When Ryoma said those words, Sakuno immediately blushed. She started sweating and became

fidgety.

"E-Eto.." Sakuno stuttered.

"So? Who was it?" Ryoma asked again.

"It's...it's" Sakuno's heart pounded while she tried to reply.

"Was it that monkey?" Ryoma said coolly but his face looked nervous.

"N-no!.. it..it wasn't Jirou-kun.." Sakuno immediately replied.

"Then...who?" Ryoma asked, finally his shoulders relaxed, he wasn't stiff as much. Finally he

felt relieved.

"E-E-eto... Uh-Uhmo... Ou.." Sakuno stuttered.

Ryoma glanced at the girl walking beside him, he didn't caught what she said.

"Y-Yo..You" Sakuno took all her courage to say it again.

"I see.." Ryoma smirked.

Ryoma opened the door before them and as he entered he looked at his princess with a cheeky

smirk.

This made Sakuno blushed more , if that was even possible.

"Listen everyone, you must decide on a theme for your costumes. Deadline on Monday." The student

council president announced before they were dismissed.

As our royal highnesses headed to the courts, Sakuno looked worried.

"Ryoma-kun what about our theme?" Sakuno asked.

"Hmmm .. Later , my house. Let's walk together." Ryoma simply said.

"E-eh?.. O-okay.." Sakuno agreed.

"Pick you up in your court , so wait for me." Ryoma said as he raised his hand to say good bye.

"Ha-hai!" Sakuno smiled. Sakuno was happy, her heart skips every minute. Her smile never left as

she saw the figure of her love walking away.
