Ever since Tohru had broken the curse Momiji Sohma had started paying attention to girls. They of course, had started to pay more attention to the fun loving boy as well, as he grew in maturity, and looks. Even though everyone knew he was a Sohma, he was never compared to Yuki, Kyo or Haru, because he was different. He had a sort of innocent look about him, but his eyes still held a hurt that wasn't normal for his age.

There was a Momiji fan club though. They called him Jiji, or sometimes Momo. Momiji, like Yuki had been, wasn't very fond of these fans… especially when they sang… the song…

Momiji shuddered and he rushed passed yet another groups of girls. Though he wasn't as popular with them as Yuki had been, there were still many girls who liked him… did freakish cheers when he passed… became obsessive… sent weird things to his locker…

Okay, so maybe he was almost as popular as Yuki had been.

Momiji liked being popular of course. He still had his outgoing personality, and an endless supply of lollypops. He was still rather fond of rabbits and bunnies, and he was famous for it too.

Momiji slid into his seat in class. He was tired of school. He wanted to go outside! Even though it was well into December, because of stupid global warming, it was just the right temperature out. He sat and started out the window wishing for winter break to begin. He couldn't wait one more day! It was going to be so long. It would stretch on endlessly. It would never. Ever. End.

He was going to diiiiie.

But then his best friends Riyi and Jason saved him.

"Yo man, watcha lookin at huh, huh?" Jason said rather hyperactively. He had moved from America two years ago and had become instant friends with Momiji for some reason. Just because he was cool like that.

Riyi sighed. "Jay didn't take his medicine today 'Momo'!"

"If you expect me to sympathize for you, you would be wise not to mock me."

"Yeah, well-"

"Take you seats everyone! NOW!" the teacher suddenly demanded. Everyone raced to their chairs and sat straight, vacant expressions pasted on. Ms.Issui was not a teacher to be messed with. Momiji was the only one who dared a quick smirk at Riyi before facing forward.

And the second to last day before winter break began.

"Hey Riyi, um, I was wondering if… Sorry…. I didn't realize… sorry…"

"Sorry for what? You're not interrupting anything! We're just having a debate over the flavors of lollypops, nothing life threatening!"

It was lunch time and Riyi, Jason, and Momiji sitting outside, waiting for the bell to ring. Actually, they were dreading for the bell to ring…

The girl Riyi was talking to looked at the ground. She had dark red hair and blue-green eyes, and she was blushing furiously, obviously very shy. Riyi rolled her eyes and got up, walking away with the girl.

"Who was that?" Momiji asked Jason.

"Dude, why do I know this, and you don't? That's Yuumi. She's been here only for like, ever. Remember that Nabe dude, and the weird Machi chick? Yeah, she's like their distant cousin. Really, why do you not know these things? Your cousins dating Machi for crying out loud!"

"I don't pay attention." Momiji mumbled.

"Yeah, 'cause you're too involved in your fiddling."

"Violin."

"What?"

"It's not a fiddle you idiot. All I did was ask who the freaking girl is." And Momji got up and left Jason alone.

"What did I do!?" he cried out. He knew Momiji was used to his behavior by now. And he had referred to the violin as a fiddle many times, just teasing his friend, as Riyi did by calling him Momo.

Jason looked over toward Riyi to see if she was done talking to Yuumi yet. Then he could question her about Momiji's screwy behavior. Then he noticed something.

"She's kinda cute…"

Yeah, so I know this REALLY REALLY REALLY REALLY sucks. I'm just bored… and so yeah. Maybe I'll make it better later. Right now it's pointless. And stupid. -.- review anyways?
