Thank you to all the reviews! Also, thanks for the reviewers! I'm so sorry I haven't updated! There's too much drama going on, in Cerri's (my partner in this story. She types

the stuff and I give her the plot, she usually wrote everything, I give her the ideas and she creates the story.) life. Also Cerri has decided to leave this story, or decided to quit

writing for good. (She thanks everyone that read our story and reviewed) so I am taking over this story (and account), and trying to make the chapters longer since Cerri

never made them long --. I'm on writers block -- but I'll do my best to make the chapters long : By the way my name is Katherine but just call me Katie and its nice to

meet all of the reviewers and the people who read this story :) Anyways here's the new chapter of"You never notice until its gone." Oh yeah, remember that

Sakura is Sakuno.

Sakuno's POV

I suddenly woke up as I heard the bell ring. I fell asleep in math class, I wonder why they don't have any courses that are higher then my standards, its so boring I already

know most of the stuff. A week has gone by since I came back to Seigaku High, and I can't believe Ryoma still hasn't notice that I'm Sakuno. Should I tell him? No! I

wouldn't want to ruin his relationship with him and Tomoko. My heart starts to hurt whenever I see Ryoma and Tomoko pass by me, laughing and being all lovey dovey. I

really thought I was over him.

While I was walking to my locker, I realized that my next class is English, with Ryoma, and Tomoko! Thank Kami-Sama (1) (Bottom of the story there is a definition area.)

that Hisaku-kun and Mereko-chan are in my class. I took a seat next to the window, and starred at the lunch area with cherry blossom trees. I started to think, Was it the right

thing to do… Should I have just stayed at my old school?


Normal POV

"Konnichiwa (2) Sakura-chan."

"wahhhhh" The beautiful brown haired girl fell of her chair. She expected to see Hisaku, but it was none other then the stoic tennis captain.

"What do you want?"

"I'm sorry to interrupt you, but class is starting soon" Ryoma said as he gave her one of his famous grins.

"Hey, Echizen-san get away from Sakura-chan!" yelled the star basketball player.

"Well well well, if it isn't Mr. Get away from my Sakura-chan! Geez, I was just trying to get her back to reality, instead of spending her time in lala land (a/n wow Ryoma is so
OOC)."

"First of all Ryoma-kun, Hisaku doesn't own me! I'm not an object! And I don't need you to tell me what to do! If I wanted to stare out the window, then I'll stare out the

window! And don't even give me one of those cocky smiles u bastard!"
"Whoa there Sakura, I just didn't want you to fail English."

"Well you know what? I don't need any help from you!" Considering Sakuno has an A+ in this class she didn't need help, she was ahead of the class because of her old

school. After the argument Sakuno went back to starring off out the window. "OMG (3) I can't believe that I added Kun at the end of Echizen's name, and I called him by

his first name! I feel so stupid now" Sakuno thought as she was starring off.


Ryoma's POV

I
put a pen in my mouth, so I would know if I fall asleep. (If u put a pen in your mouth, and your head sort of falls, the pen would be in the way.) I can't believe Sakura yelled at

me. All I was trying to do is snap her back to reality. Who does Hisaku think he is? First he takes Sakuno away from me, and now he thinks that Sakura is his. I wonder what

happen to Sakuno anyways. I miss her so much, only if I had the guts to tell her. Instead of telling her I went out with her ex bestfriend, backstabbing love I guess…

The bell rang, and I feel very drowsy. Lunch is about to start, and I'm still thinking about Sakuno. I sit down next to the sakura tree I take out my bento box(4) which is

shaped like a tennis racket and open it. My cousin made rice balls, and there's sakura mochi in there too. I'm about to take a bite out of my rice ball when I hear a girl

screaming.

Normal POV

"KYAAA RYOMA SAMA!" yelled the noisy pig tailed girl"

"Nani? (5)" asked an annoyed looking Ryoma

"Today I saw you talking to that annoying new girl!"

"And your point is?"

"WHAT DID YOU TALK ABOUT!"

"I was telling her to wake up."

"Oh, so Ryoma want go to my house to make out? My brothers are going to be at their friend's sleep over, and my parents are out for two days, so we'll be all alone, just like

that one time.'"

"Uhhh I might be busy."

Suddenly Tomoko started to kiss him. They break the kiss, because they heard someone say something.

"Ewww you guys need to get a room." Said the beautiful tennis player.

"Well you shouldn't be watching!" yelled a very angry Tomoko.

"Well I'm sorry but my bag was right next to you!" Sakura takes the bag and leaves.

"What an annoying girl, kind of reminds me of Sakuno."

"I'm sorry Tomoko; I have to do something after school."

Last class till school ends for the week.

"Let's go to the carnival today! It just opened!" yelled an energetic Mereko.

"Okay, is that alright with you Hisaku-kun?" Sakuno politely responded and asked

"Hai (6), I'm alright with it. This could really fun!" Hisaku said with a smile on his face.

"Is someone else going with us Mereko?" asked Sakuno

"Hai hai Sakuno! A group of people from our home room class"

"Oh"Sakuno responded sadly, not wanting Ryoma and Tomoko to go.

"Anything wrong Sakura chan?" Hisaku asked in worried tone.

"Nope just a little tired."

"Do you just want to rest then?"

"Its okay lets go!"

Ryoma overheard the conversation, and decides to go and ask Tomoko to go with him. He was very curious about what kind of relationship Sakura and Hisaku have. It

would also be pretty weird for him to go alone, so he needs to invite Tomoko.

After class.

"Tomoko, my plans are canceled so do you want to go to the carnival?"

"OF COURSE RYOMA SAMA!" yelled the annoying pigtailed girl.

"Okay."

"Let me just change and you can wait at my house."

Sakuno passes by them and doesn't even look at Ryoma, but says "Hey" to Horio.

"She doesn't even notice me." Ryoma thought sadly. He still watches Sakura.

Sakura walks to Hisaku and lets him hold her books, and other things. They walk down the road which is surrounded by cherry blossoms. Ryoma thought about Sakura and

how Sakura looked so beautiful with her shoulder length hair swaying back and fourth and how well her school uniform fit, and how she smiled, that smile looked like

Sakuno's smile whenever she cheered Ryoma on at his tennis games. Ryoma stops thinking about Sakuno and says "I should think about the past." He sees the last of both

Sakuno, and Hisaku as they walk away.

Ryoma is still thinking to himself "Should I ask her out? Should I just stay with Tomoko? Will Sakura ever like me? Does she like me? That's its I will-"

"RYOMA SAMA! Let's GO!" Tomoko screamed
