"Hey where are you going Momozono-san? Home? Oh wait you don't have that do you?" questioned a taller boy as he laughed at his on words, not noticing the hint of tears in the young girl's eyes. The young brunette girl in front of him was Nanami Momozono. She lost her mother when she was younger and her father just recently ran off on her, leaving all the debt he collected on her shoulders. With the debt came the day she lost her home.
"Leave her alone, we're gonna be late.." commented one of the boy's friends. Grumbling the boy smirked at Nanami before running off. 'It's not my fault I don't have a home...'
"Ah! What time is it?! I'm going to be late!" yelled the flustered girl as she ran to the door, only to run into Tomoe Mikage.
"Oi! Watch it-" The white haired male stopped short when he saw a girl was the one who ran into him. Sighing, he bent to her level and offered his hand, "You alright?" Nanami just stared at him blankly before remembering what happened.
"Oh! I'm sorry, I was in such a hurry i didn't pay attention to my surroundings..." She replied embarrassed as she took the offered hand. Tomoe helped her up as he tried not to laugh at her space cadet actions.
"It's fine, but you said you were in a hurry... want me to walk with you?" he clapped a hand over his mouth in shocked after speaking. 'Wh-What the hell?!'
Nanami smiled, making his heart flop uncomfortably, and replied "If you'd like, I wouldn't mind. Thank you." Nodding they walked out of the school and along a path only she knew. "I'm sure he's gonna be worried that I ran off... I wonder if I worried Rita as well..." Nanami offhandedly spoke.
Tomoe looked at her with a raised eyebrow. 'So this is the girl who everyone teases... Hm I don't see why, besides her head being in the clouds...' They came to a middle class house where a woman and child stood on the porch.
The small child, no, little boy, broke out of the woman's grasp and came barrelling towards them.
"MOMMY!" shouted the boy as he launched right into Nanami's out stretched arms. Tomoe just staired in shock as she held him close and quietly apologized for worrying him.
'Yes, That's Nanami'
