Mochiii's note:
Hoi hoi! I've decided to upload Chapter 2 as well since Chapter 1 is too short and I realised it is not enough to give readers a clue as to what is going on. So... here you go! ^^
Chapter 2: The start of something new
Sakuno spent her weekend trying to finish up whatever homework that she could. Her homeroom teacher had passed them to Ryuzaki-sensei for her to give them to Sakuno. Sakuno realised that she had a lot to catch up since she had missed one whole week of school and meanwhile, she also worried that she would be unable to make new friends since she would be the 'new girl' in class. Thankfully, Tomoka was in the same class as her but she should also try her best to make friends with the other classmates too.
As much as it was headache thinking about all these matters, Sakuno felt really relieved because they kept her mind off the things that she really should not be thinking about.
Monday came all too soon, much to Sakuno's delight and as she stepped out of her grandmother's car in her new school uniform, she could feel her heart bursting with excitement.
Seishun Gakuen High, here I come! Sakuno thought happily. The newly bloomed Sakura trees also added on to the significance of a new beginning.
"SA-KU-NOOO!"
Before the name 'Tomoka' could even pop up in her head, Sakuno felt someone squeezed her tightly from the back. She dropped her school bag in shock.
"Sakuno, Sakuno, Sakuno! You're back, you're back, you're back!" Tomoka jumped and screamed with delight, unaware that the ruckus she was causing was attracting the attention of those nearby.
"Ahhh… Tomo-chan…" Sakuno looked around, embarrassed. She picked up her school bag and gently brushed off the dust from her bag with a handkerchief.
"I have sooooooooooo many things I want to update you about!" Tomoka told her gleefully as the two of them started walking.
"Hai hai! You can update me during recess later," Sakuno smiled.
"Demo... AH! Mite mite!"* Tomoka pointed towards the tennis courts.
Confused, Sakuno turned towards the direction which Tomoka has pointed. The male tennis club was having their usual morning practice. The second and third years were running laps around the court, the regulars were having practice matches and the first years busied themselves picking up the balls.
"They're so cool, aren't they?" Tomoka sighed dreamily.
However, Sakuno could barely hear her. Her eyes were fixed on this particular person in front of her.
That spiky green hair… That nonchalant look in his eyes… Sakuno observed, just as the person wiped off his perspiration with his towel and put his cap back on.
"Echizen Ryo-?"
"Eh Sakuno? You've heard of him already? Ryoma-sama?" Tomoka asked.
"Ehhh! Ryo..ma?" Sakuno turned to look at her best friend in surprise.
"HAI! ECHIZEN RYOMA-SAMA!" Tomoka exclaimed proudly.
Translation:
*Demo: But
*Mite mite: Look look
Mochiii's note: I wonder if you readers have already caught on the hint already? Heheh I hope you do! I'm already done with Chapters 3 & 4 and I already have rough drafts for 5 to 7 already but they won't be up that soon as I wish to wait and see if I should make any changes to them. So please give me your reviews of the 2 chapters so far so that I'll know what to look out for? Arigatou Gozaimasu! (:
