Again, I thank you guys for all the reviews and support. But I must say, that I wouldn't make this fic if it weren't for the music. So the lyrics are very important.
Anyway, I'm planning to make an extra chapter! So that'll make 10 chapters! Eh... we'll see if I can pull it off.
Heheh, enjoy!
"Sakuno! Sakuno! Wait up!" cried Tomoka. She ran harder in order to catch up with Sakuno. She managed to go a little before her, grabbed Sakuno's shoulder and cried, "Stop it, Sakuno!"
Sakuno blinked, as though she hadn't realised her actions. "Tomo-chan, I'm sorry."
Tomoka sighed. "I know you're upset. It's all my fault, I shouldn't have pushed you."
Sakuno shook her head. "No, you were right. It was a good thing. If I hadn't told Ryoma-kun what I felt, I probably wouldn't have realised that it was stupid… to hold on to him. Now I can let go because I know… how he truly feels about me."
"Don't give up like that Sakuno!" cried Tomoka. "There's still time! There's still a chance that he could realise how he truly feels about you and—"
"In a day, Tomo-chan?" laughed Sakuno. "Wait, less than a day. No, it's impossible." Sakuno walked to a nearby tree and leaned on it. To feel it's strong support as her emotions bring her further down into unknown depths. She looked at the evening sky, and felt her heart grew heavy.
"Sakuno… it'll be all right. Surely…" murmured Tomoka.
Sakuno looked at her, and smiled.
[Sakuno]
And I wanna believe you
When you tell me that it'll be ok
Yeah, I try to believe you
But I don't
When you say that it's gonna be
It always turns out to be a different way
I try to believe you
Not today, today, today, today, today...
I don't know how I'll feel
Tomorrow, tomorrow
I don't know what to say
Tomorrow, tomorrow
Is a different day
It's always been up to me
It's turning around
It's up to him
I'm gonna do what I have to do
Just don't
Gimme a little time
Leave me alone a little while
Maybe it's not too late
Not today, today, today, today, today...
I don't know how I'll feel
Tomorrow, tomorrow
I don't know what to say
Tomorrow, tomorrow
Is a different day
[Sakuno and Tomoka]
Hey yeah yeah, hey yeah yeah
[Sakuno]
And I know I'm not ready
[Sakuno and Tomoka]
Hey yeah yeah, hey yeah yeah
[Tomoka]
Maybe tomorrow
[Sakuno and Tomoka]
Hey yeah yeah, hey yeah yeah
[Sakuno]
And I know I'm not ready
[Sakuno and Tomoka]
Hey yeah yeah, hey yeah yeah
[Tomoka]
Maybe tomorrow
[Sakuno]
And I wanna believe you
When you tell me that it'll be ok
Yeah I try to believe you
Not today, today, today, today, today...
Tomorrow it may change
Tomorrow it may change
Tomorrow it may change
Tomorrow it may change
"But Sakuno, will you be there at the airport tomorrow?" asked Tomoka.
Sakuno looked down. 'Do I really want to see him leave?' "I don't know."
Suddenly, Sakuno heard a rustling in the background. "What was that?"
"Mm? What was what?" Tomoka looked at her watch. "AH! It's late! I really have to go, I'm supposed to take care of my brothers! You'll be okay alone, right?"
Sakuno smiled and nodded. It was definitely getting dark.
"Okay then, bye!"
Sakuno watched as her best friend rushed home. 'Tomo-chan has been so supportive," thought Sakuno. She heard the rustling again. 'Is someone spying?'
Sakuno watched a dark figure walk away. She decided to follow him. It took her a full 30 seconds for her to realise who it was.
'Ryoma-kun?!'
She continued to follow him as he went straight to the nearest tennis court. 'Did he hear? Oh great… now he really thinks of me as someone pathetic. Things can't go ay worse than this.'
She hid herself as Ryoma put his bag down to take his racquet and tennis ball.
And watched as he began to play against the wall.
One of my favourites from Avril Lavigne, 'Tomorrow'. I believe this song speaks for itself. (Kyaa... I'm making it too sappy)
Next chapter, Ryoma's feelings on what he just heard! Angst? What will Sakuno do?
