Realization
I've been typing this story for months and I finally realized that I have been spelling Ryuzaki wrong the whole time. I always spelled it with two U's. I know, I'm pathetic.

Chapter 5: A New Look
Sakuno looked at herself in the mirror. She could barely recognize herself, and all she did was let her hair down!
It's been weeks since bouchou gave me the advice and this is the first time I've tried it. I wonder if it really looks good on me. She sighed. Oh well, might as well give it a shot.
xoxoxoxo
The first thing Ryoma thought as soon as he saw Sakuno that morning was Wow. He had always teased the girl about how her hair was too long. It was, but it fitted her. Is that really her? Ryoma questioned himself, because at this point, he was unsure. She looked absolutely…stunning.
It seems as though Ryoma was not the only one who noticed as well. Many of the boys around him had hearts in their eyes, with their jaws reaching the floor. He had also seen many of them attempt to flirt with Sakuno, but had no luck. She stayed very calm and serious. It was as if she was ignorant of her beauty, because every time a boy came up to her, confusion was written all over her face.
And it wasn't just the freshman class either. Ryoma had seen multiple juniors, and even a few seniors go up to her. He clenched his fists until his knuckles turned white. This made him mad, very mad. As you all know, Ryoma does not like losing, and he had just lost Sakuno.
Wait, what the hell am I thinking? I don't like Ryuzaki. So what if she's been ignoring me and the entire male population sees her as eye candy. I'm not even sure that we were friends.
Stubborn baka.
And yet again, our favorite tennis prince walked down the hall coolly as if nothing had happened.
xoxoxoxo
This was really starting to get on Sakuno's nerves. Okay, she'll admit it; she's a little bit prettier. But that did not mean that everyone had to ogle. I mean, although Sakuno has developed a little confidence since last month, she was still shy and insecure. And she hated attention. So all this ogling was really making her uncomfortable.
"Ugh, make them stop, Sakuno. Your fan boys are so annoying." Tomoka whined.
"Gomen, demo, I don't know how," Sakuno answered."
"-Sigh- Fine, whatever, let's just hurry up and get to class- Omigod here comes Yoshida Hiroshi. –Squeel-"
"Huh?" Sakuno turned around and was met by a really handsome boy. He was about a head taller than her, with dark brown hair and hazel eyes. He had a charming smile as he approached the two girls.
"Kunichiwa, Sakuno-chan." He greeted.
"O-oh-ayo."
"You look very beautiful today. Why the sudden change?"
"Um…well…a friend gave me some advice…and I took it. That was lame.
"Well, I'm glad you did, or else I wouldn't be here asking you out."
Oh no he didn't.
"…………."
Did he just ask me out?
Suddenly, Sakuno was elbowed very hard in her ribs by none other that her sweet and kind best friend. She mouthed 'say yes.'
"Uh……sure."
"Great, I'll pick you up at seven."
"…hai." Sakuno answered, not knowing that a certain tennis prince had heard the entire thing.
