Disclaimer: Okay, sorry for the wait and as you know I own this story, but not the manga.

"Get back to practice." Tezuka yelled from somewhere over the rainbow.

"Just ignore him until he comes over here like a big kid, not stay over there like a little baby." I said in a childish tone.

Hn smirked and let out a little snort.

"I think I like you a little better now." Hn said.

"Really? I like you too Hn." I told him.

"My name is Echizen Ryoma, not Hn." Ryoma said.

"Can I still call you Hn?" I asked completely serious.

"… Are you serious?" He asked.

I nod, he just walks away.

Everyone else just laughs at us. I heard loud and angry thumps coming from the left and headed towards us. I look over and see Tezuka. I smile at him and wave while everyone hides behind me.

"Hey Tezuka, did you decide to grow up and join the party again?" I asked him.

"No, now go away. We need to train for nationals." Tezuka says.

"Wait, you guys are regulars?" I asked again.

"Yes, now go away. You are an annoying little spoiled brat that doesn't know when to shut up and your ego is way too big for someone who is afraid of balls!" Tezuka yells at me.

I shrink a little and feel tears coming to my eyes. My lower lip starts to tremble and I start sniffling. I let out a little whimper and a couple tears fall. I raise my wrist up to my eyes and rub them like a cat would.

"Well you know what Tezuka? YOU ARE A BIG MEANIE BUTT!" I scream at him as I run away from him sobbing.

Eiji's P.O.V

I stare after Lucy who disappeared after ten seconds. I look back at Tezuka and see his face red who looks super pissed off.

"What do you think you are doing?" Fuji asked.

"What do you mean?" Tezuka asked.

"She ran away crying, you don't think there is anything wrong with that? I mean you are the one who caused her to run away. You know you aren't supposed to yell at girls like that, you should treat them kindly because they are fragile." Fuji said.

Tezuka just looks at Fuji.

"Twenty laps everyone." Tezuka said.

"No, you need to go apologize to Lu-chan. I'm not doing anything until you get back." I said.

Everyone looks at me shocked.

"Go Tezuka, or I don't play." I repeat myself.

"Fine." Tezuka replied and left.

Lucy's P.O.V

I was running blindly, only able to see blurry shapes of different colors. I close my eyes and wipe my tears away for them to come back as fast as I wiped them away. I hit something and fall onto my butt.

"Nghh." I groan while letting out another sob.

I look up and see a blur of white on green with tan lines and a white blob on two of the tan lines and black blob on the other two tan lines. The blob bends down and wipes my tears away.

"Why are you crying Lucy?" The blob asks.

"Ry-ryoma?" I ask.

"Yeah, it's me. Why are you crying?" He asks again.

"Tezuka insulted me in front of everyone and he said really mean things." I say.

"Really, that bothered you?" Ryoma asked.

"Yeah, but I guess I'll have to get used to it. I just had to get kicked out of the stupid Hyotei Academy."

"How did you get kicked out?" Ryoma asked.

"Well-" I started.

Author's Note: Yes, perfect cliff hanger. Don't hate me because you love me. I will try to put one out in a little bit and you will love me even more. Dakota u.u
