Ch. 4 – Apartment Hunting
"You look nice," He said.
"You do too!" I replied.
"Uhh... Thanks? I guess... Although I'm wearing your school uniform."
"Eheheheheh…. Ummmm…." I racked my brain for an excuse. If I looked like a total idiot, I needed something to cover it up. Wait a minute… Ahah! I got one!
"That's what I meant! You look fantastic in our school uniform! It's a shame you came here during the summer… I'm sure a whole batch of girls would have been swooning at the sight of you! I mean… They would think you're very hot."
He raised his eyebrow. What did I say? It took a moment but then... it hit me.
"Oh my gosh! Not in that way! You're not hot!"
Still raising his eyebrow. Dang!
"I mean you are, but not like that!" I really don't think I made sense. Crap. "I mean… you're very stunning!! Wait… I mean… Ugh. You know what I mean!"
"No. Actually, I don't. Please explain it to me, Hinamori." I wish I could wipe off that stupid smirk off his face!
"Stupid, stupid, stupid." I muttered to myself, hoping he didn't hear me. Fortunately, he didn't. Well, at least it looked like he didn't… My stupid excuse that was supposed to make me not look like an idiot just made me look more like an idiot.
"Ok… Let's put it this way. I think girls would think you are very cool looking." I said very slowly so he would understand me. "But not me. I'm not like other girls. I'm different."
"So… you're a boy. Okay… You didn't really look like a boy, but appearances can be deceiving. You probably must be gay if you're wearing a skirt… "
"UGH! NO! WOULD YOU JUST SHUT UP! YOU'RE GIVING ME A HEADACHE!" I shouted at him.
"So, you're bisexual… Wow. This school is just filled with freaks…"
Did he just call mebisexual? BISEXUAL? BISEXUAL?HE JUST CALLED ME BISEXUAL! SCREW HIM! I walked up to him and slapped him on the cheek as hard as I could.
"Shut the fuck up. Don't you ever talk to me again." I hissed. I walked away, very pissed off. Here, I try and compliment him, and he calls me bisexual. Can you believe it? BISEXUAL. (A/N: ok…last time I will be putting that word down. You must be all like… 'WE GET THE POINT NOW!' heheh. Sorry.) Ugh. I walked to a curtain, pinned the occupant sign on, and walked inside. I changed back to my red and black, plaid skirt, my white blouse and red tie. And then it hit me… again. He's taking me home. Shit. These things just always have to happen to me, don't they?
When I walked out of the curtains, all my friends surrounded me.
"Ohmygosh! Momo! Are you all right?" asked my best friend, Rukia, who got to me first. Best friends tend to always find a way to get to their best friend first before everyone else for some odd reason…
"I'm fin-"
"Momo! Are you okay? Don't listen to that freaking' jerk! Tatsuki can beat him up for you!" piped Orihime.
"Yeah! Just tell me when and where, and I'll be there." Tatsuki said.
Nemu just stood by her with a concerned expression. She was the quietest one out of all of us.
"I'm fine you guys!" I laughed. "But thank you so much for your concern. All he did was call me bisexual." I'm making it sound like a joke although I am so pissed inside…
We entered a period of awkward silence.
"Ummm… girls?"
"What do you mean he 'just' called you bisexual?! You SLAPPED him on the cheek!" Orihime yelled.
"Bisexual means you're both genders at the same time… You know that, right?" Tatsuki asked me with a weird expression on her face.
"Yeah… Why wouldn't I know it if I already graduated…?" I asked her.
"Just wondering if you lost your mind or something…." She replied.
"HINAMORI MOMO!" Rukia scolded me. "You're hiding something."
And best friends always figure out if your lying or not too… All the girls looked at me.
"OK… I'm not too happy that he called me bisexual… Actually I'm totally pissed off, and I just want to tear apart his shitty head off of his shitty body."
"Wow." Nemu-chan said. "Momo-chan must be really mad to be cussing. She rarely does that."
"Momo is perfectly fine the way she is. Don't get her into cussing, Nemu!" scolded Orihime.
"But I didn't mean I want her to cuss! I'm just saying she doesn't cuss often!" protested Nemu-chan.
"No excuses, young lady!" Rukia scolded her.
"Gosh." Tatsuki muttered, annoyed. "Just leave her alone, bitches."
"WHO ARE YOU CALLING A BITCH!?" shouted Rukia.
"You, I guess." Tatsuki smirked.
I laughed. I loved my friends. They were so supportive. I guess Orihime noticed me laughing because she went all crazy.
"Momo's laughing! YAY! Thank-you Tatsuki and Rukia!" she exclaimed.
"We didn't do any shit." said Tatsuki.
I climbed into Hitsugaya's car and sat there thinking for awhile. How was he not supposed to talk to me if I wasright next to him? Maybe I should've climbed into the back seat. Too late. Hitsugaya-kun was already here.
"What are you doing in my car?" he asked me.
"I need a ride home."
"Then go get in your friend's car." He responded coldly. He was mad? Wasn't Isuppose to be the mad one? What did I do to get himmad? Except for the slapping thing.
"She left."
"Then walk home." He looked at me with icy eyes.
"I'm not getting out of you car until you take me home." I replied with the same icy tone. I buckled my seat belt and stared at him rudely until he got into his car.
He sighed as he plugged his key into the ignition. While we were driving home from school, he apologized.
"Look, Hinamori, I didn't mean what I said back at school. I was just joking."
"About the car?"
"Yes, about the car, idiot." Hitsugaya-kun remarked sarcastically.
"Oh. About that. Well, it wasn't very funny." I replied rudely.
"I know. But it was funny the way you were stuttering around looking for something to cover up your mistake." He chuckled.
I glared at him.
"Right. Wrong thing to say right now. Okay. I'm sorry. I meant it was a stupid thing to say."
I could tell he was laughing his head off right now inside his head. I still glared at him.
"How about we start off on a new plate? Just as friends?"
"We were never friends to begin with." I responded.
"Okay… as acquaintances?"
I thought about it. There's no point in holding a grudge against him if he was going to live in my house for a bit anyways. It's not that easy to avoid someone in your house. I tried it once with my parents. So not that easy. I saw them basically everywhere I went.
"Fine. But don't you EVER call me that again."
"Gotcha. Since we're on okay terms now, do you mind if I go apartment hunting right now? I'm not sure I want to stay at your house where your mother basically controls my life…"
"Yeah, sure, whatever."
"Great. Can you get that book out under your chair? It's got a list of apartments for sale. Could you give me the address for the ones I highlighted?" He asked.
"Ummm… okay. The first is Yuuyake Komichi (Sunset Ln.). Building number sebun hyaku juuroku (716). It's next to Sushi Guriru (Sushi Grill)."
The first apartment was glorious. Is Hitsugaya-kun rich or something? This was a huge apartment. I don't even think this was an apartment. I looked at the name. Iroke Kondominiamu (Glamor Condominium). Wow. He's like… freaking rich! When we visited an empty room, I couldn't help but gawk. The condo was huuuuuge! Bigger than my first floor (which is pretty big, by the way…). There was a huge kitchen, with a huge dining room, and a huge living room (with a plasma screen in it!), a huge bathroom, a huge bedroom…actually make that THREE huge bedrooms! The place looked so… posh too!
All the other apartments -cough- condos -cough- were basically the same, but I prefer the first one because that one was the prettiest. All the other ones had ugly colors such as navy green and crappy brown and formatting such as the bathroom had two openings with no doors. I don't know who the heck uses bathrooms like that. Not me, for sure.
On our way home, Hitsugaya-kun asked me which apartment I liked best.
"Apartment? Those were SO not apartments. Those were… CONDOS! You are like freaking rich!" I exclaimed.
"Yeah. I've been trying to hide that. My dad is the owner of the Hitsugaya-ko (co.). It's a cell phone industry…. But, that's not what I asked. I asked which one you thought was the best." He told me while his eyes were fixed on the road.
"Totally the first one. All the other ones were ugly." I said while reading the book of CONDOS.
"Good, because I hated the other ones too. Ah. We're here."
I looked up from the book. "So we are. Ok. So, when are you buying it?"
"Probably Friday, so I can move in on Saturday, my probably least busiest day."
"Momo-chan! Hitsugaya-kun! You're home! It's five already. What took you so long?" Okaa-san greeted us as we entered my house.
"Apartment/condo searching." We said at the same time.
"Did you find one?" She asked.
I think she was hoping we didn't because she never had a son so…
"Actually, yes. But I'm not actually paying for it until Friday." Hitsugaya-kun answered.
Okaa-san sighed in relief. See? Told you. "Where's Otou-san, Okaa-san?" I asked her.
"Kinmu (work)." She replied. "Oh, by the way, Momo-chan, Rukia-san called you."
"Arigato."
I walked towards my room as I dialed Rukia's oh-so-familiar number and heard her pick up the phone in a jiffy.
"Moshi-moshi?" She asked in a broken voice.
"Talk to me." I replied.
"Oh my gosh!" She cried. I think I heard tears falling. "I saw him! I did! I really did!"
"Wait… what did you see?" I hope it had nothing to do with Renji. They could be the 2nd cutest couple, next to Ichigo and Orihime, of course.
"I saw… I saw RENJI kissing some… girl." She said in disgust.
I lied down on my bed. It took some time for me to let it sink in.
"NANI?!" I screamed.
Okay…, so this chapter was a bit boring. I'm not in a happy mood right now cuz' I still don't know if my v-ball team made it into the play-offs... -GLOOM- Anyways, a great way to cheer me up would be reviews! Tell me if it's at least bad or good. REVIEW PLZ!
