Klutz

Sakuno was a klutz.

I knew that for a fact, being her boyfriend and all. I wasn't exactly sure why she was klutz, though. Was it that hard to stand on both feet steadily without tripping over yourself? Maybe it was Tomo-chan's influence or something.

Anyway, the point was, Sakuno was a klutz. She was the one who fell flat on her face every time she tried to return my twist serve. She was the one who dropped her lunch all over the cafeteria floor whenever she was nervous. She was the one who hit her head against a wall because she slid on a banana peel.

It was she who was the klutz.

So then why was it, that today, in the middle of the whole school, I was the one sprawled at the bottom of the stairwell after losing my balance, not her.

"Ryoma-kun?" her anxious voice approached me. "Are you alright?"

"No." I grumbled, utterly humiliated. "You're rubbing off on me."
