It’s been such a long time since I updated this blog.  Tomo-chan got really mad when she visited so I think I’ll have to update. (Gomen, Tomo-chan!)

I guess I should tell you what happened after the match with Horito-san.  I was really surprised because, days after, Ryoma-kun waited for me outside our room.  He told me that we’ll have to start our weekend practices earlier because I was still ‘mada mada dane’.  Then, he was nice enough to offer to walk me home, and that we did, with Ryoma-kun talking a bit about tennis techniques.  Ryoma-kun never talks a lot, so this surprised me, but it was really great having him there.  And listening to him wasn’t a bore – he was pretty animated (well, of course, considering our topic).  I wonder why Ryoma-kun had been nice to me on that day.

Since then, I found our practices more fun.  After our morning training, Ryoma-kun now takes me to a nearby fastfood restaurant.  At first, we both paid for our food, but for some reason, Ryoma-kun insists on paying for us both.  I really wonder why, because it’s so embarrassing to have him pay for me.  Still, it makes me feel all nice and nervous inside.  I kind of like the feeling. Though it’s embarrassing to say this out loud, being with Ryoma-kun makes me so happy.  It’s really nice to have him as a friend (I hope I’m not being to ambitious by calling Ryoma-kun ‘friend’.)

I’m improving on my stance now!  I hope to do better the next time we train, so I won’t disappoint Ryoma-kun again.

I’m ending this here, and I’m sorry that it’s not long enough.  I promise to write more regularly next time.
