Chapter 2: Sakuno
Tomo-chan decided she was in love with Kaidoh Kaoru. If that surprised you, believe me, I was just as shocked.
We were at my house under the guise of doing homework when she blurted it out. I was wrestling with ionic equilibrium calculations, trying my darnest to figure out the solubility of an acetate without peeking at the back of the text. Tomo-chan was doodling little hearts and arrows in the margin of her chemistry notes.
She had given up on Echizen Ryoma for a while now. Although I couldn't see it for myself, she declared that he treated me differently, which for some weird, convoluted reason, must have meant that he liked me.
Right. Ryoma-kun liking me? He can't even remember my name half the time. Instead he refers to me as 'Wobbly Hips'. Mou. I know I'm not very good at tennis, but I wish he'd acknowledge my hard work once in a while. I practice everyday, and all Ryoma-kun can do is make fun of me.
It's disheartening. What's worse is whenever his eyes are on me, I become even clumsier. He puts me on the spot and I just can't do anything right. Trying to look good in front of him just produces the opposite effect.
I don't know why Tomo-chan thinks he likes me. Ryoma-kun has only seen my bad sides. But try telling Tomo-chan that. She bulldozes over all my objections and tells me 'he's definitely into you'. And now with all this talk of Kaidoh-senpai this and Kaidoh-senpai that, I can barely fit a word in edgewise.
But I have to admit. Kaidoh-senpai is pretty cool…
