Chapter 3
"What the hell Echizen, get yourself together", Ryoma exclaimed.
He locked himself in his room and took a deep breath. These past few days his emotions are spiraling out of control. First he told her he can't let her go, and then he runs towards her without a second though. Holding her, protecting her,and being jealous. He had all the clues he needs yet the tennis genius is dumbstruck. Finally, something in this world that he can't seem to understand.
"Maybe I should talk to my sempai s, but what would they now?"
Of course Ryoma isn't a character that usually calls for help, but he needed to. This is one of those moments where you can see that he really is a kid outside the court.
"Ehhh?EHHH! What?! You asked who to the dance? Yahhh Chibi! You're finally growing up! You should..." Ryoma hanged up
Eiji went crazy hearing the news, more of a reason for Ryoma to hang up. He felt even more embarrassed because of the reaction he got. Maybe calling Eiji wasn't such a good idea. He had Momo who was the one who persuaded him to ask Sakuno out.
"Ummm,Sempai!" Ryoma said
"Oh? Echizen? What's up? I heard you asked Sakuno out", Momo replied
"Oh? How did you know?"
"You shouldn't have told Eiji if you wanted it to be a secret. He did say that you said nothing about keeping it a secret", Momo explained
"ahhh, Eiji-sempai. Wait, did he told you what I asked him?"
"He said something about you and Sakuno, and from the way you are right now I think you should get ready for a rollercoaster ride. You're definitely going to experience new things from now on"
"Wait,What?"
"Good Luck Echizen. Hehehehe"
"Sempai?Sempai!Hello?" Ryoma is even more confused
"What the hell? They didn't help at all. What rollercoaster? What experience? They sure are weird", Ryoma said to himself
"Hey Eiji, Ryoma sure is naïve."
"Momo,you should have told him what he was feeling instead of playing games."
"Sheshh, Let the boy figure it out for himself. He'll grow up better this way and besides that, this will make everything more exciting hehehe"
Can he really figure it out? Will Ryoma Echizen know how he feels or will something come up during the dance? Let's hope he doesn't pass his feelings as part of puberty. What will Sakuno feel once she sees Ryoma acting weird? Will the dance end with a fairytale ending? Find out in the next chapter.
