Momoko/Blossom POV
In the dim light overhead you could spot a figure… dancing? With what? Joy, happiness, an aching feeling inside their chests that sprung out at them if they couldn't show their moves? I'm not sure. Why would they be dancing, maybe because they're in their own world, worlds. Who knew? It could be something sinister, metallic, shiny. Who knew why they danced in the streets, who knew why boys sagging their pants was cool, who knew why girls wearing little clothing was a trend? It just was. And that's probably the reason why he danced, because it just was.
I felt like doing a little dance. With the love of my life standing by my side and my dream a step closer to coming true, I had all reasons to dance, to sing. And I would've, but for some reason I'm not. Everything felt at place. The sun was shining, the roads were clear, and the kids were smiling. But something was wrong. I have this burning sensation in my chest telling me that something isn't right, but what is it, and why is it there?
"You okay? You seem a bit anxious."
I look up into Mamoru's red eyes. They weren't the same. The were dripping a blood red, darker than the lips of snow white and the devil's skin. The mere thought I'd put into his eyes sent shivers the size of icebergs plummeting down my back. I waved it off.
"Yeah, I just have this weird feeling that I'd forgotten something, but I can't remember what." I answer, my head tilted down in pure frustration.
"I know what ya mean, I'm always having one of those days." he replies, shining a pearly white smile in my direction. That's weird too. Mamoru never smiled showing his teeth, and when he did, it would never be that big. Either I'm imagining things, I'm forgetful, Mamoru's not Mamoru, or I'm crazy. I settled for the last and let the anxiousness peel itself away from my body and cuddle up with the atmosphere as a light breeze sent it flying away into the sunset. Then I smiled just as bright as he had toward me.
When we'd reached Ms. Keen's class, I'd taken a seat at my usual desk and Mamoru sat with me.
"Uh, you do know you don't sit there, right?" I said pointedly. I saw the sudden flit of his eye give a look of hesitation as if he weren't sure, but as sudden as it had appeared, it was gone just as quick. My head really was messed up today. I need some coffee, but then again, it could be from the lack of food. I was too busy getting warped up in my make up that I'd forgotten to grab breakfast before heading out the door. Stupid me.
"I just decided to sit with you today." he says, his voice clear and even, giving me goose bumps but sending a melodic trill through my body. "Mokoto and Katsu aren't coming today." he adds
"Why?" I questioned.
"Mokoto got sick, Butch is ditching." he explains.
I give a slight mummer, knowing exactly what he was talking about. It was very likely.
A few minutes later Kaoru and Miyako had stepped into the classroom. Kaoru saw me first and gave me a knowing look before swiftly settling next to the seat where Miyako sat. Miyako turned around next, her curls bumping her shoulders in light waves, bouncing on them gingerly. She gave me a smile, capturing that same knowing look Kaoru had shot at me earlier. They were a bunch of punks if you asked me.
After everyone had been seated, Ms. Keen came in a few minutes later. She was running in those heels of hers, holding her long skirt up over her ankles so she wouldn't trip, though, that didn't stop her. Just as she'd come a few inches off the doorway, her heel met the ground first instead of the toe like it usually did, and the toe of her other foot collided with that same heel sending her spiraling forward and landing flat on her face. Laughter filled the walls of the classroom immediately and sent the desks joggling with hysteria.
"Are you okay?" I'd just now noticed that Mamoru had gotten out of his seat and went for Ms. Keen, giving a hand and helping her back up to her feet. WHAT?! Who is this? The Mamoru I know would never do something like this. As a matter of fact, if you take Katsu out of the equation, he'd be the one laughing the loudest. But he was actually being kind to Ms. Keen. He'd told me himself that he'd hated her with all his heart. If this was a way of trying to own up to his girlfriend and be a better man, it sure was working.
"Oh, I'm fine sweetie." she mused, her eyes suddenly taking an unexpected turn my fluttering wildly. As quick as a butterfly but yet, not as graceful. "Thanks to you." she adds. She had a tight grip on his arms and was standing a little too close for comfort. Mamoru started to peel himself from her icky touch and decided to stand a few yards further.
"Okay then." Then he was back at his desk, sitting next to me with his arm wrapped possessively around my shoulders. That's Mamoru for ya. He was always possessive over his girlfriend. People just love to show me off.
Ms. Keen gave a frown before going back into her regular composure and taking a seat back behind her desk. Then she went off into attendance and I couldn't help but notice as she called my name, a icy glare had been thrown in my direction. Well, the spot light isn't always a good thing.
Miyako/Bubbles POV
Where was Mokoto? I'd looked everywhere for him. He wasn't in any of his classes today and I hadn't seen him at lunch either. Now that I think about it, I don't think I'd seen Katsu as well… he was probably ditching. But I was worried, and I missed him. I may not know Mokoto very well, but I think that I may or may not be falling in love with him. The feelings confusing and scary all at the same time. I've never given unconditional love to a boy before, well except for Takaaki
but he's more like a brother to me. Mokoto was different though. It was like we were meant to be together. Like perfect pieces of a puzzle. What did they call it again? Soulmates? But was it even possible to find my soul mate at this age, or was it just a thing that most people called first love?
They say that your heart can get broken for a reason. When we were put on this earth our destinies had already been written out, our love ones had been made, and our spirits had been bound. Heartbreak is suppose to be there to set you in the right direction of who you are truly meant to be with. I didn't want to go through heartbreak. I had this feeling that Mokoto could in fact be the one. But how am I suppose to tell him? What if he doesn't love me back? What if at this very moment, while I was confessing my love to him in my head, he was off with another girl, falling in love with her instead of me? All of this is so complicated, so difficult. I don't like love. I hate it! But is this even love? I don't know. How do you know when you love someone or someone loves you or someone loves someone else or you love someone el-
"Earth to Miyako! Why don't you wake up now and stop handing in the clouds!" Momoko said screaming into my face, knocking me out of my buzzing state.
"Yeah?" I croak.
"Did you even listen to a word I just said?" she exclaims. We stood in the hallways waiting out time before the bell rang for seventh period.
"Yes." I lied. She glared at me. "Maybe… probably not… no… sorry?"
"It's okay, you wouldn't have wanted to hear it anyway." Kaoru says, cutting into the chit chat. I smile up at her.
"So what were you talking about?" I ask them sweetly before gaining up on them like a wild cow with fire in my eyes. "Anything about Mokoto?"
They both backed up, fright over taking their faces. "Noooo…." the called in unison. I slumped back in defeat.
"Oh wait, yeah I have!" Momoko suddenly says. I lunge my upper body at her with suggestive eyebrows. "This morning Mamoru told me that Katsu was ditching," knew it! "and that Mokoto was sick." I blew my breath out in relief. Well, that was a weight off my shoulders.
"So you guys doing anything after school today?" Kaoru asks from her place in the triangle.
"I have drama practice today." Momoko answers. "I'm Juliet and I've got a lot of grooming work to do. Believe it or not, a face doesn't come like this by just sitting around."
"Really?" Kaoru comebacks. "In that case you should do a lot more grooming." Momoko gawks at her and Kaoru just shrugs.
"And I can't come because today my Grandma's got a doctor's appointment. Sorry." I cut in.
"Why'd you ask?" Momoko asks Kaoru.
"Got nothing to do today. There's no soccer practice." she answers. At that moment the bell rings and takes us away from our conversation.
"Got to go!" I say, starting to step into the opposite direction. "This periods my art class and I do not want to miss that. I'll call you guys later!" I'm already gone by the time they're bidding their farewells and turn my mind back on the subject of love. Boy this was going to be a long period.
Me: Okay, so that's it! I would have wrote more but there are other stories that I want to write at the moment.
Butch: Or is it just because you don't have time for us anymore?
Everyone else: Yeah!
Me: No, I've just been…busy.
Blossom: Busy doing what?
Brick: Watching Heroes and Good Luck Charlie?
Boomer: You call that busy!
Bubbles: Cuz I don't!
Buttercup: I call that laziness…but then again, I can't really complain since I have a horrid habit of being lazy myself.
Bubbles: *giggles* Yeah! I know!
Me: Don't gain up on me! At least I updated.
Brick: I guess that's true…
Me: Thank you.
Brick: EVERYBODY, GRAB YOUR TORCHES! IT'S TIME TO SET HER TO FLAMES!
Me: *eyes start to widen, then begins to sprint off with beastie flames spiraling at her rear* AAUUGGGH!
Everyone: *continues to run around in circles, mob a few yards away*
Me: *stops in front of camera* Don't forget to REVIEW, and if I make it out alive and find out you didn't, I'm not gonna be the only one with my butt set on flames. *turns around and notices how close mob is.* Bye now! *continues to run*
