Sakuno walked into her class. Tomoka waved happily at her friend.
"Why are you so happy today?" Sakuno asked Tomoka.
"Guess who gave me this?" Tomoka showed Sakuno a yellow rose wrapped in plastic with a pink ribbon tied below.
"Horio kun?" Sakuno guessed.
Tomoka glared at her friend.
"What makes you think Horio would give me anything on White Day?" She asked.
"I was just guessing because Horio gave me this." Sakuno took out a small box of chocolates.
"Horio gave you that? How come he never gives me anything?" Tomoka asked.
Sakuno shrugged and stuffed the chocolate inside her bag. She did not see Ryoma that day.
"Ryoma sama gave me this rose." Tomoka smiled happily.
Sakuno almost dropped her bag when she heard that. She turned to her friend.
"Ryoma kun gave you that?" Sakuno asked. She was surprised that Ryoma actually bothered to return gifts on White Day.
Tomoka placed an arm around her friend.
"Don't worry Sakuno. Ryoma sama brought a lot of roses today. I am sure he will give you one too." She grinned.
"You really think so?" She asked hopefully.
"Hey, I saw Ryoma sama. Hurry Sakuno, lets go ask him for your rose." Tomoka stood up and pulled Sakuno along with her.
Ryoma handed a rose to one for his classmate.
"Echizen kun is so nice. Thanks!" The girl smiled at him.
"Ryoma sama! Happy White Day." Tomoka shouted as she ran towards him.
Ryoma turned and saw Tomoka and Sakuno.
Darn, I am trying to avoid Sakuno and here she is in front of me. I didn't bring her present to school. Worse is that I don't have a rose to spare for her. Ryoma thought. He felt like kicking himself for not getting a rose for Sakuno.
"Bye, I got to go." Ryoma smiled weakly and quickly ran to the opposite direction.
"Ryoma sama! Why are you running away from us?" Tomoka shouted.
"Tennis practice..." Ryoma shouted without turning back.
They watched as Ryoma ran until he was out of sight.
"Is he serious? Tennis practice at this time?" Tomoka looked at her watch.
"Maybe Ryoma kun avoiding me?" Sakuno asked Tomoka sadly.
"Yup. Maybe he is." Momoshiro said from behind them.
Don't tell me Ryoma kun is still angry about the cat incident. Sakuno thought. She felt like crying.
"Hey, don't look so upset. I was just kidding." Momoshiro laughed.
"Momoshiro senpai, that joke isn't funny." Tomoka scolded.
"Osakada and Ryuzaki. Do you want to check out the semester ranking? They have it up on the notice board." Katsuo asked.
"I totally forgot about it. Let's go Sakuno." Tomoka said.
"Ano..." Sakuno said and followed them.
"Why are you following us Momoshiro senpai?" Kachirou asked.
"I want to see the first year top student. If it's a girl, then I want to date her." Momoshiro said.
They reached the notice board. Students were crowding around.
"I hope I am in the top 20." Katsuo said.
"Ah, Ryoma kun." Kachirou spotted Ryoma.
"I thought he is at Tennis practice?" Tomoka whispered to Sakuno.
"Chey, what a disappointing result." Ryoma yawned and walked towards them.
"Hee hee, which position did you get Echizen? First from the bottom?" Momoshiro laughed.
Ryoma ignored Momoshiro and turned to Sakuno.
"You did quite well but still mada mada dane." He said.
"Which position did I get?" Sakuno asked.
"Ryoma sama! You called your results disappointing?" Tomoka shouted. She was looking at the notice board.
"Which position is Ryoma kun in?" Kachirou asked.
"Ryoma kun is in 5th position with a total score of 264!" Katsuo said.
"Really? Echizen does have the brains after all." Momoshiro said.
"Ryuzaki did well too. She is in 11th position." Ryoma said.
"You actually searched for her result?" Momoshiro asked.
"I happened to saw her name." Ryoma lied.
Sakuno looked at the notice board. She was in the 11th position with a score of 253. She frowned and looked at the name above her.
Hayame Aya 253.
She got 10th position although we have the same score. Just because her name starts with H... Sakuno thought to herself.
"Ara? Ryuzaki what a pity you are 11th instead of 10th." Momoshiro said.
"The grading is so unfair." Sakuno complained.
"Maybe you really should consider marrying Echizen." Momoshiro said.
"What is that supposed to mean?" Ryoma frowned. Momoshiro is being annoying lately.
"Echizen Sakuno. E comes first before H right?" Momoshiro said to Sakuno.
"It makes her name sounds weird! I won't let Sakuno marry my Ryoma sama." Tomoka said.
"Tomo chan... Momoshiro senpai is just joking." Sakuno said weakly. She was embarrassed with his teasing. She looked at Ryoma and their eyes met. Ryoma quickly turned away.
"I had enough of Momo senpai's nonsense." Ryoma said and walked away from them.

Sakuno opened her door and walked in.
"Obasan, I am home." She shouted.
"Welcome home Sakuno. Someone sent a bouquet of daisies for you. I placed it on your bed." Ryuzaki sensei said to her granddaughter.
"Really?" Sakuno said excitedly.
She quickly ran to her bedroom and snatched the flowers from her bed. Sakuno opened the small card attached to the flowers.
"For our special girl. With lots of love from Okasan and Oyaji." Sakuno read.
Sakuno put the flowers down. She knew that her parents always send daisies to her on special occasions. Sakuno was disappointed that Ryoma didn't give her anything on White Day.
"We passed each other several times at school and Ryoma kun never give me anything. Not even a single rose." Sakuno said sadly.
Sakuno took a hot bath to relax and went down to help out with dinner.
"Obasan, what are we having for dinner today?" She asked her grandmother.
Ding dong...
"Sakuno, go and see who is at the door." Ryuzaki sensei said.
Sakuno opened the door.
"Ryoma kun..." She said, surprised.
"Umm... sorry for dropping by this late." Ryoma said.
"What can I do for you?" Sakuno asked.
"For you. Handle it with care." Ryoma handed her a pink box.
"Oh..." Sakuno took the box from Ryoma. The box was quite light.
"I... am sorry I didn't give any rose just now." Ryoma looked down at the ground.
"Thanks for the present." Sakuno smiled at him.
"I wanted to buy you a rose too but... I didn't have much money left after I bought the present." Ryoma said.
"Ryoma kun is so thoughtful... and sweet." Sakuno said.
Ryoma and Sakuno looked at each other without saying anything. Ryoma touched Sakuno's right cheek.
"Happy White Day." He said.
Sakuno opened her mouth but she can't find the right word to say.
"I hope you like the gift." Ryoma said and let go of his hand.
"I will definitely like it." Sakuno said happily.
"Don't be too happy, it's not a ring." Ryoma said.
Sakuno blushed and quickly turned away.
"Mada mada dane, Sakuno." Ryoma said.
Ryoma leaned closer to her right ear.
"Don't worry, I will definitely buy you a ring someday... but you have to wait ten years." Ryoma whispered.
Sakuno's eyes widened with surprise.
"Is that a propose?" Sakuno accidentally said aloud.
Ryoma looked at her. It was his turn to blush.
"If you say so. I got to go, bye!" Ryoma said and walked off.
"Ryoma kun is so weird." Sakuno said to herself and closed the door.
Sakuno placed the box on the table and opened the box. Inside was a white kitten with a pink ribbon tied on the neck. It looked up at her and meow.
"Kawaii!" Sakuno picked the kitten and stroked the fur.
"What is that?" Ryuzaki sensei asked.
"Ryoma kun gave me this kitten just now." Sakuno showed the kitten to her grandmother.
"So it was Ryoma who dropped by. He gave you that for White Day?" She asked.
Sakuno nodded. She noticed a word was stitched at the ribbon's end.
"Yume." She read.
"Is that the kitten's name?" Ryuzaki sensei asked.
"Ryoma kun named it Yume." Sakuno said.
"You really like Ryoma don't you?" Her grandmother laughed.
"Obasan, do you like Ryoma kun?" Sakuno asked.
"Of course I do, I like all my students. Why?" Ryuzaki sensei asked.
"Then you won't mind if I marry Ryoma kun ten years later right?" Sakuno said and quickly ran to her room with her kitten in her arms.
"Marry?" She heard her grandmother said.
