RRRRRIIIIINNNNGGGG!
"W-what? Oh My Gosh! I'm late for school!"
A groggy-looking Sakuno ran clumsily towards the bathroom to take a shower. She quickly dressed herself into her school uniform and styled her hair into twin braids.
As she rushed downstairs, she found her grandmother preparing a breakfast of waffles and egg for her.
.
"Whaaaaaa! Grandma it looks so good; I can't wait to-"
"Enough chit chat, Saku-chan. Better hurry up or you'll be late!" Her grandmother said powerfully.
"H-hai!"
Keeping her grandmother's words in mind, she quickly sat down and ate her breakfast before bidding her grandmother a good day.
"Grandma, I'm gonna head over to school first. I'll see you at the end of the day!"
~oOo~
"Oi Ryoma! Wake up!"
"Hnmph…"
"Come on you stupid son! You'll be late for school! Don't you care about your future! I mean either way I don't mind; I've got plenty of magazines to share if you prefer to follow in your father's footsteps?" His father hummed rather happily.
"I'm up, I'm up!"
After the morning's perverted incident, Ryoma quickly took a bath and changed into his school uniform. In a few minutes time, he was downstairs and eating his traditional western breakfast. It wasn't quite to his liking, but he needed something in his stomach before school began. Afterwards, he sprinted out the door.
~oOo~
Meanwhile, poor Saku-chan was running towards the academy when she just happened to crash into someone-a rather tall, scary someone.
"I-Itai." She stuttered out.
"Hey, watch where you're going, Miss," said a rather masculine tennis player.
"Oh, what do we have here?" He mentioned towards one of his buddies.
"She is quite cute. Maybe we can play with her for a while?" Suggested one of his cronies.
"I'm so sorry. I wasn't looking where I was going. If you're not hurt, then I'll be taking my lea-"
Sakuno was cut off as the man grabbed her wrist and began pulling her into secluded area.
"Get your hands off me!" She shouted towards the man.
"Oh no? Why don't you stay for a while with us? We'll show you a good time…"
He has Sakuno pinned to the wall and was about to kiss her when a tennis ball knocked him in the back of the head.
"How about you guys take your hands off her?" Suggested a boy. Sakuno tried twisting her neck to get a good look at the boy and to her surprise it was no one other than Ryoma.
"What are you going to do now boy?" Threatened one of the other men.
Instead of a reply, Ryoma merely took another ball from his bag and flawlessly served it. The fuzzy yellow tennis ball pummeled the man's shoulder causing him to wince in pain. "Leave or I'll serve another one."
Not wanting to injure themselves any further, the man and his cronies walked away. Once out of his sight, Ryoma walked towards Sakuno's side.
"Are you okay?"
"Yeah, I am. Thank you Ryoma-kun." Sakuno replied.
"Come on. We're late for school."
"Hai!"
Both students, already late, rushed towards the academy. Ryoma fiercely held onto Sakuno's wrist the entire way there.
Why is Ryoma-kun holding to me this tight? I can always run after him, but holding my wrist...
Sakuno was cut off when Ryoma said that they'd already arrived at the school. However, Ryoma didn't stop there and accompanied her to her classroom.
"Um Ryoma-kun, thank you for everything. Well, I better go inside. You too. You should go to your class."
Ryoma just nodded and walked away with the wave of a hand.
