"Ne Ryuuzaki's not in class again," Horio noticed looking around the room. "And she hasn't been to any tennis practices either, even though he grandma's the coach."

Ryoma looked up and took a glance around the room. It was true. Sakuno was not here again. It's been three days since she's been out of class. It's also been 3 days since Ryoma's crush was announced. How strange. (wink)

"RYOMA-SAMA!" Tomo chanted running into the room. "RYOMA-SAMA! I MADE YOU LUNCH TODAY!"

Ryoma looked at her strangely. Wasn't it Sakuno who always made him lunch?

"Where's Ryuuzaki?" he asked her. Tomo looked at him confused.

"Sakuno? She got switched out of class," she explained. "I think it was on 2 days ago she got switched which is why she wasn't there that day."

Ryoma was shocked but kept his face expression the same. 'All because of that night?'

"Anyway!" Tomo said placing her lunch box on the table. "EAT!" she revealed the food.

She then looked down to see Horio eating her lunch instead of Ryoma. "Delicious!" he muttered.

Tomo hit him on the head. "BAKA! This is for Ryoma-sama not for bakas who can't play tennis…" she said grabbing her lunch and heading to her seat.

"Ouch! Ouch! Ouch!" Horio whimpered hold the spot on the head where Tomo hit.

"Ne Echizen! What's wrong? You seem so out of it today!" Momo scolded him.

"Gomen," Ryoma apologized while picking up his racket and exiting the court.

"Huh? Echizen?" Momo asked a little worried.

"Don't worry," Fuji said patting him on the shoulder.

"Fuji-senpai?" Momoshiro acknowledged him.

"He's going through some trouble…" he said. "He just needs time to fix it."

"Nya Fuji!" Eiji said walking over to the two. "How do you know so much?"

Fuji laughed lightly and then opened his eyes. "I know everything."

Momoshiro and Eiji both jumped in fear.

Sakuno was pack at her usually tennis spot hitting the ball against the wall.

"Take this! And this! And even this! You little…!" she shouted as she hit the ball against the wall.

"Oi! You can hit the ball now?" a familiar voice called out.

Sakura grabbed the tennis ball when it bounced back to her.

"What do you want?" she asked annoyed.

"Why did you change classes?" Ryoma asked her coming towards her.

"None of you business," she answered as she continued hitting the ball against the wall.

He took a deep breath. "Why are you ignoring me?" he finally asked.

"Why do you only notice me when I'm gone," she stopped playing and replied.

"I don't notice you when you're gone," he answered walking towards her.

She clenched her fists. There he goes being all stubborn again. What a jack ass, what an asshole, what a baka! What a…

"I miss you," he whispered in her ear.

She stood there in shock. Did he just… he didn't… but did he? He missed her? Why?

"Ryoma…kun" she turned around to she that she was alone without anyone near her. Alone. With that she turned and began walking into the school to meet up with her grandma.

Once she left there were some ruffles in the bushes. Two figures popped up.

"Eiji-senpai," Momo said. "I think we know who Ryoma's crush is."

Eiji grinned widely. "Nya! It's match making time!" he cheered jumping out of bushes and running back to the courts.

"Oi! Matte! Eiji-senpai!" Momo shouted chasing after him.
