Momo walked slowly down the dark street. She knew where she was going, but
was
having second thoughts. Kiley had invited her over for a study date. The problem was she
hadn't told Toji. She reached his house and sighed, knocking on the door. Kiley opened it
and smiled. "Hi Momo!" she returned the smile. "Hey Kiley" "Come on in" Kiley said.
"We'll study upstairs in my room." He took her hand and pulled her up the stairs. " K-
Kiley wait, where's your mom and dad?" Momo stuttered. "Oh" Kiley replied smiling to
himself "not home" "WHAT?" Momo cried screamed. "I CAN'T BE HERE THEN, I."
"Shhhhh..' Kiley covered her mouth. He opened his bedroom door. "Ta-da" mom
looked around. 'So this is the pumpkins room, nice!' she thought. "Momo, listen" Kiley
said interrupting her thoughts "I know you don't like me, but I want you to know I really
do care about you and I want to be here for you, if that's ok" Momo looked up at him.
"Kiley." her eyes filled with tears. Looking at him, she saw what she had been blind to
before. He loved her she could tell, and cared for her. Why hadn't she seen it before?
"Kiley. can I use your phone?" 'Oh great now she wants to go home, I feel like an
idiot' "sure" Kiley said dully, handing her the portable. She went into his bathroom and
shut the door. He heard her crying then the phone click and a sigh. He stood with his ear
against the door listening. "Hello, Toji," she said softly "its Momo, um, listen, I really
think we should go our own separate ways, ok? nothing personal, im sorry ,bye." Kiley,
shocked, backed away from the door. Momo opened the door and stepped out. She
smiled lightly and walked over to Kiley. "You were always there for me and I never saw
it." She hugged him, not wanting to let go. "The truth is." she felt her tears roll down
and burn her cheek. "I want to be with you" Kiley gasped. "Momo, I.I mean." Momo
put a finger to his lips. "Quiet" she whispered. She leaned up and kissed him. She saw the
fire works she had never seen with Toji. Kiley melted. 'She's mine finally! I can die
happy!' he pulled away slowly for breath. Momo's tears fell slowly. "Im sorry Kiley, for
every time I hut you and all the pain I caused your heart. I love you Kiley, I just never
noticed" Kiley sat on his bed and Momo followed, sitting next to him. "I really, truly love
you," she said. He looked at her. "I love you too" he took her in his arms and kissed her
softly. "Kiley" Momo whispered between kisses. "What" he asked "Sae wont break us
apart, will she?" Kiley pulled back and grabbed Momo's shoulders. " Momo, nothing
would ever tear me from you" Momo leaned against him, crying her heart out. He leaned
down and kissed her tears away. "Nothing Momo, I promise" Momo sat up quickly and
looked out kiley's window. Sae was out side standing on a ladder, watching Kiley and
Momo.
