Chapter One: Dreams Into Nightmares
"It's too early
for this," Momo complained heavily. she sat inside the school cafeteria
with her elbows on the table and her hands under her chin. She was watching Sae
Sasaki, flirting with a group of boys.
"She's at it
already?" Toji came from behind Momo and sat next to her.
"Never a dull
moment," Momo said, her spirits lifted now that Toji was there.
"Not for Sae
anyway," he looked at the group forming around Sae. He leaned back in his
chair coolly, "I'm willing to bet you that the two on the right are going
to ask Sae to the dance and then start up a fight over her."
Momo looked at him and
blinked, then smiled, "How much?"
"Just watch,"
he pointed towards them and Momo turned to watch. "You see? Kaneda is
working up the courage while Tombo tries to get through the crowd. Okay... 5...
4... 3... 2... 1..."
Momo and Toji listen
carefully and hear the distant argument.
Tombo was up, "Sae,
would you like to go to the dance Friday night with me?"
"Beat it, Tombo! I'm
asking her!" Tetsuo stood his ground.
"Oh yeah!"
Tetsuo advanced on on Tombo when Sae steps between them.
"Stop!"
"Who called
it?" Toji sat up now, leaning to Momo. "She'll pick Tetsuo."
Momo smiled evilly,
"That's what you think."
Toji lifted an eyebrow,
"How's that?"
Momo giggled,
"because Sae already has a few dates to the dance."
Now it was Toji that
blinked. They both looked back to the crowd.
"First off,"
Sae began, still standing between them, "it's awfully sweet of you guys to
be fighting over me. Secondly, I'm already being escorted to the dance. Sorry
boys! " Sae walks away smiling, leaving a group of disappointed boys.
Toji and Momo start
laughing, now leaning back in their chairs. Momo couldn't be any happier,
sitting with Toji alone in the cafeteria. The closest person was a few tables
away. Toji stared up at the ceiling for a minute and then Momo broke the
silence.
"So Toji. Are you
going to the dance Friday night?"
"Hmmm?" Toji's
eyebrows went up. He looked at Momo and shrugged, "I doubt it. Those are
always really boring. Besides, I don't have anyone to go with."
"Oh..." Momo
said, sounding disappointed as she sighed heavily. 'He just doesn't get it!'
Momo thought.
Toji coughed lightly and
then continued, "Did you want to go with me, Momo?"
Momo felt her breathing
stop but her heart beat quicken. it was the simple most happiest moment of her
life. Her dreams had just come true! All those nights of hoping he might ask
her. All those times daydreaming and practicing in front of the mirror of what
she would say... This was it! All it needed was her well rehearsed, casual
response.
Momo half smiled, "I
guess-"
"Hello Momo my
sweet~!" Someone came up behind Momo and rested their head on her shoulder.
Momo's eyes went wide with shock as the voice continued, "You all ready for
the dance Friday night?"
"NANI?!?!" Momo
shot up and punched the guy behind her in the face, "KAIRI!!"
Kairi fell back on his
butt smiling, "Yeah Momo, are you ready for the dance Friday night? When
should I pick you up?"
"Pick me up?!"
Momo yelled in his face, "I'm not going with you!!"
"Of course you are,
Momo" Kairi smiled.
"I would rather go
with a pig, you butt head!" Momo yelled in his face.
"Butt head?" He
repeated and she hit him right where the sun don't shine.
"Yeah! You big butt
head! Leave me alone!" Momo yelled and turned around. She gasped.
"Where's Toji?" her head shot back and forth, checking every part of
the cafeteria. her face became angry. "he... left. He left! HE LEFT!"
She grabbed Kairi by his shirt collar and pulled him up, "YOU BUTT HEAD!!
It's because of you he left, you... JERK!" Momo tried to punch him but he
caught her fists.
"So, how does 7
o'clock sound?" He smiled.
"GRRRRRRR!!!"
Momo growled loudly as she kicked Kairi. He let go of her fists and she started
beating him up.
She stormed out of the
cafeteria with her fists tightly clenched and her jaw closed tightly. She storms
down the halls towards her locker.
'The nerve!' she started
to think, 'my dreams are finally granted and that pumpkin ruins it! maybe I can
still catch Toji before he-'
Momo turned the corner of
the hallway towards the walls of lockers when she saw Toji and stopped her trail
of thought. She was happy to see him, only to have her hopes crushed when she
saw another girl there talking with him. Momo gasped and then quickly ran behind
a small spot behind another wall of lockers and the wall. She put her back
against the back of the lockers before they could see her. She quietly made her
way within earshot and peeked from the side. It was Chi Takaya. Momo knew her
from Math class.
Chi Takaya. Long, thick,
chestnut brown hair. Flawless ivory skin and full lips. Momo always thought she
was pretty and secretly hoped she would crush Sae's ego. A little shorter then
Momo and a really nice person. But in that split second, Momo hated her. 'What's
she doing with Toji?!' Momo wondered and then listened in.
"Oh yeah, I remember
that. So your Kazuya Tojigamori?" Chi asked.
"Uh, yeah. Just call
me Toji, please. Your Chi, right?" Toji asked.
Chi nodded her head and
then smiled showing with perfect teeth, "That's little me alright."
"Oh, I didn't know
your locker was right next to mine." Toji said, pointing to the locker.
"I just got moved
here today. Small world, huh?" She giggled.
"Uh, yeah..."
Toji half smiled.
Chi took her books from
her locker and put them in her bag. When she took out her shoes, Toji closed his
locker. They were silent for a moment when Toji coughed. Putting his backpack
over his shoulder, and sticking his hands in his pockets.
"So, are you going
to the dance Friday night?" Toji asked Chi as she put her backpack over her
shoulder.
"The dance?"
she repeated and thought for a moment. "Well, I doubt it. Those things are
usually really boring. Besides," she closed her locker, "No one to go
with."
"Oh..." Toji
said quietly.
Chi smiled and turned
around, "Well, see you at gym. Bye."
"Hey wait!"
Toji ran to stop her.
Chi stopped and looked up
at Toji blankly, "yes?"
Toji put his hands in his
pockets and continued casually. "Well, I'm not going with anyone either.
Did you want to go together?"
Chi smiled happily,
"'Misery loves company,'" she quoted. "Sure, I'd love to go to
the dance with you Tojigamori."
"Toji, please."
He smiled back.
"Okay," she
turned and walked to the doorframe. She turned around, smiled and winked to Toji.
"Ja Ne, Toji!" She giggled and turned the corner, out of sight.
