~I'm too lazy to type the disclaimer thing again xD
Sakuno looked at him in surprise. His face was suddenly covered with a shadow, his bangs covered his eyes.
"What do you mean?" she asked.
"He's your boyfriend, isn't he?" he replied.
"N-no! he's not!" Sakuno yelled, "He just happens to be a friend… who is a boy"
"Oh, I'm sorry. I meant he's your BOY-friend," Ryoma said sarcastically.
"Ryoma-kun, why are you acting strange lately?" she asked.
"Strange?" he replied
"Yeah-" Sakuno started
"Hey, what's that smell?" Ryoma said while sniffing the air.
"Gya! The rice is burning!" Sakuno panicked while blowing away the smoke with her apron.
"Hahahahaha!" Ryoma broke into laughter, "Yeah! I was right!"
"Right about what? And what's so funny?" she asked while checking the burnt rice.
"No matter how graceful and dainty you look on TV and billboards, you're still the clumsy Ryuzaki I knew five years ago!" he explained while laughing.
"W-well at least I don't laugh out loud while someone is panicking! Hmp!" she blushed and turned away.
"Okay, okay… I'll stop now! Pfft…" Ryoma rubbed off a tear in his eye.
"Are you done now?" she asked
"Yeah, yeah… almost!" he replied.
"Take your time," she went back to her cooking.
"Okay I'll stop now," his face turned serious again.
"If you're lost then I'll give you directions," she said.
"I told you, I'd rather not." He smirked.
"So… you prefer being lost?" her eyebrow raised.
"Pretty much," he chuckled, "I'm still not gonna trust your sense of directions!"
"You meanie!" she pouted, "I can find my way through a house of mirrors, for your information! Hmp!"
"How many days were you in there?" he laughed.
She let out a short sigh, "Very well, if you're gonna be like that, fine. You don't have to believe me."
*Diiing Dooong Diiing*
"Oh look at that, it's time for class, I'll be off then!" he waved goodbye while taking a riceball from the bentou.
"Eh? Hey, that's not…" Sakuno reached out her hand as the boy left, "Mou… Ryoma-kun…"
She went back to her finished bentou and started to clean up, "Good thing I finished on time, I better hurry!"
Minutes later she walked down the hallway and met up with Kintarou.
"Oi! Sakuno-chan!" he waved at her from across the hall.
"Ahh, Here's your lunch Kin-chan!" she smiled as she handed over the bentou.
"Thanks Sakuno-chan, you're the best!" he smiled back with a bit of red on his cheeks.
"Come on, let's go!" she grabbed his hand and hurried to their homeroom.
"S-sakuno-chan!" Kintarou immediately turned red.
They reached the classroom on time, just before the teacher arrived. Unfortunately, somebody didn't.
"Mr. Echizen, why are you late?" the teacher said.
"Long story…" he said while panting.
"Well whatever it is, sit down!" the teacher pointed to his seat.
As Ryoma headed to his seat, his eyes met Sakuno's.
"What are you looking at?" he pouted.
"Nothing," she giggled.
"I might've been a little late but that doesn't prove that your directions could've helped!" he whispered.
"But I was the one who did make it on time," she chuckled.
"Well I bet you'll get lost in that house of mirrors you were talking about!" he said.
"Well I bet I can get out faster than you!" Sakuno was quite challenged.
"YOU'RE ON!" Ryoma yelled out loud as the whole class stared at him.
"Mr. Echizen! Do you have anything to share with us?" The teacher frowned.
"Uh… no sensei… Sorry." He ducked while the class laughed.
"You were saying?" Sakuno smiled.
"We'll continue this after lunch!" he pouted.
[A.N]: Sorry if they're a little OC xD but I put a little bit of comedy in this chapter :) Thank you again for reading everyone (^_^)
