I found the street. Now, I just have to look for the house number. It was already dark. This scared me a lot since I am not very fond of darkness. It's all tha ks to the Momo sempai who keeps scaring me when it's night time when they have a sleep over at grandmas house.
While walking, weird noises came up. Then, when I got to a corner, I found someone walking. I stopped and looked at the person secretly walking. I was relaived that he was walking the other way.
"That was close" I said.
"Are?" I heard and I jumpped frightendly.
"Ehhhhh?!" I tripped on the ground. Landed hard and it kinda hurt my butt.
"Sakuno chan" I looked up and saw Ryoma eatting a lollipop in his tennis attire.
"Ryoma kun" I stood up and brushed of the dirt on my skirt.
"What are you doing here?" He asked.
"Eh.. ah.. ano.. I was looking for your house. I gave you the wrong paper so I came here to give you the right paper" I said.
"Hm. Naruhodo" he said expressionlesly.
"Ah.. by the way. Why are you still in your tennis attire? Didn't you go home already?" I asked.
"I played at the courts. Didn't want to go home yet" he said.
"Ah, soudesuka" I siad.
"Anyway, i'm on my way home. Let's go" he said walking ahead of me.
I catched up with him and walked beside him. A few blockw blocks away, we ended at a big house. It looked old but it had a welcoming aura.
"Thsi is your house?!" I said surprised.
"Yeah" Ryoma said opening the gate. We both went in.
When I got in to the house, it was big and bright inside. We took off our shoes and I followed Ryoma.
"I'm home. He said as he entered a room.
"Ah. Ryoma kun. Hmm" an old man said looking at Ryoma to me.
"First day of school and ypu braught home a girl. She's quite pretty, Ryoma kun" a girl with long hair said.
Ryoma didn't say anything but just went in to the hallway. I followed him and we ended up in a big room containing one bad and a desk. That was everything in a big room.
"Is this your room Ryoma kun?" I asked.
"Yeah, my stuff haven't arrived from America. They'll be here in a few days" he said.
"The form?" He asked.
"Yeah, here" I took it out of my bag and gave it to Ryoma.
"Would you like to stay for dinner? Even if I didn't ask you. My cousin will still ask if you'd like to join" Ryoma said.
"Eh?! Is that really okay?" I asked.
"Yeah, I don't mind" he said.
"Okay, arigatou gozaimasu" I bowed to Ryoma.
We waited outside the dinning room. I was telling Ryoma about the class he missed this morning. As he looked through my notes, he ask me some questions.
"Why weren't you in class today?" I asked.
"Just no reason" he said.
"Souka" I said.
I looked at him as he went through my notes. As I stared him, I realized that he looked just like Nanjiro san, his dad. This also questiond me if Ryoma have a brother or a sister.
"Ryoma kun, do you have a sister or a brother?" I asked.
"No, none" he said.
"I see. Is tennis everything you do in your free time?" I asked.
"Yes, that's everything I do. So I can beat that perverted old man" he said looking at his dad with a frown.
"Don't give me that face Ryoma. Hmhmhm. Try to be beat if you can" his dad was teasing Ryoma like he was some kind of little kid.
"Perverted old man" he turned his back on his dad.
After a while, Ryoma's cousin put the food on the table. We all sat down and ate. While eating, Ryomas cousin and dad keptnon asking me questions. We were all talking, but Ryoma just kep quiet on his seat and ate his food seriously. Afyer eating, I taknked all of them for welcoming me and planed on going home directly.
"Thanks for inviting me to diner" I said to Ryoma.
"Un. See you tomorrow" he said.
I bowed and walked home. It was nice to be friends with a family like his. It's weird, but fun. At least I was able to do wwhat I had to do. So I'll just jave to wait for Ryoma tomorrow.
