Ryoma's thoughts are in boldand Sakuno's are in italic.
DISCLAIMER! I DON"T OWN POT! Only the great author Takeshi Konomi does!
Why?
"Did you hear? Seigaku beat Rikkadai at the Nationals! Also, Ryoma beat their captain, Yukimura! Even though the captain is supposed to be at Tezuka-senpai's level!"
Why out of all people, out of all the guys, did I fall in love with you?
"Sakuno! Hurry! We're going to be late!!"
Okay, you're a fantastic tennis player. So? That's not really special. There are a lot of good tennis players. Maybe not as GREAT as you, but at least some of your teammates are NICE."Class, Please take out your English homework."
You're extremely good-looking. Another word could be you're hot, but what does it matter? You won't don't care about anyone but your teammates, family, and tennis. I doubt you'll ever get serious about a girl.
Hmm...Should I tell her or not?
"Ryoma! Sakuno! Pay Attention!"
"Hai!" "Hai!"
------------------------------------Lunch-----------------------------------------
"Sakuno! Let's go sit by the tree and eat!"
Oh no! That's where Ryoma sits for lunch…Wait, why should I care? I should be getting over him!…There she is! Why is she and Tomaka coming over here?
"Hey! Ryoma, it's your girlfriend. Aren't you going to go sit and eat with her?"
"She's not my girlfriend!"If she were, I would be the happiest guy in the world. (A little out of character there, I'm sorry)
Wow, I know there were just joking around and I know you knew there were joking around too, so why did you have to answer so rudely? Do you hate me THAT much?
"Hey, Sakuno, Want to accompany me this afternoon to watch the tennis players practice?"
"No thanks, I have my own practice."
Why did she say that so…direct today? She usually apologizes a thousand times and says then no.
It's not like Ryoma is going to miss me or something.
"Sakuno, good job! You are really focused today."
"Thank you, Myuki-buchou"
I should've done this sooner; my life is better without my thoughts always about you.
"Oh MY GOD!!!! It's Ryoma!!!! Congratulations on the Nationals!"
Why didn't Sakuno say "Congratulations" to me at all today? She's usually the first one to say those things. Wonder if she's okay.
"Ryoma! 20 laps! Even if we won, we still need to train for next year!"
"Is something the matter, Ryoma?"
"I wouldn't worry about it, if I were you Oishi-senpai! He's probably lovesick. I saw that Sakuno didn't talk to him at all today. He must be sad."
"I'm not sad! I don't even care!"
Is that true? Am I sad over some silly clumsy girl?
----------------------------------After Practice-----------------------------------
Hmm…. It's been a while since I was so happy at tennis practice.
I need to tell her, or otherwise I can't go through with this week. Besides, maybe she'll say yes… …Was that one of MY thoughts?! Stop Ryoma! You're only doing this to get it off your mind!
Hmm…I wonder what I should cook today…
! There she is…Time to say it…
"Sakuno!" Wait!
Oh great, way to spoil it…
"Yes, Ryoma?"
"…Ahh…Sakuno"
"Yes?"
Hurry up! I need to cook dinner and do my homework!
"…I…like...you…"
"…What?"
Did I hear right?
Oh shit! She seems freaked out…
"…I said I like you."
"Are you okay, Ryoma?"
"Yes, why wouldn't I be okay?"
"Well, you just said the weirdest thing..."
"I said it because I mean it."
I know now that that is the truth…Scary…
Uh oh….
"I'm sorry Ryoma, it's too late."
"I…don't like you anymore…I used to but not anymore..."
"…Really?"
"...Yes."
"Then, I'm sorry. I won't bother you anymore."
"Don't worry, I won't tell anyone about this."
"And we can be friends!"
He smiled. "Yes, it'll be for the best."
At least it won't be too horrible. I think I can get over her. I need to anyways.
I'm glad he took that well. I hope this friendship will last.
I am sorry for making them OC. Anyways, hope you like it. I KNOW I said it was going to be RyomaXSakuno. And yes that was my plan, but along the way on writing it, I made it into …well you know…this story. I don't know why I do that so much. I love the couple A LOT but unfortunately, Ryoma doesn't get her in my fan fictions. Wonder why. .
P.S. I decided I MAY make it in to a chapter story. :) I may make this RyomaXSakuno (like lovers) after all! THanks to fanficgirl8:D
