Chapter 37: Festival 2
OOO OOO OOO
"Here are your orders." Toushirou gently put the plates and glasses on the table as the girl swooned and followed him with their ogling eyes as he walked away to the teacher's desk.
Sighing, he grabbed his buzzing phone from his pocket and looked at the message.
Having my 10 minutes break. You coming? -Karin
He shook his head and sighed again, running a hand through his pulled back spiky hair.
I'll have mine in 5 minutes. Wait for me. -Toushirou
After drinking some fresh water, and giving a quick glance to Momo looking down sadly on the floor, he coolly walked out of the classroom.
"Toushirou!" he mentally groaned at the shrilly voice he heard, and after a deep breath he turned around to meet Karin's dark eyes "Hey, I'm so glad you came!" she started to pull his arm "Come on, I'll show you inside!"
"Sorry Karin, but my break is just 10 minutes long." he kindly refused shaking out from her grasp "Maybe at lunch break?"
She took a step back and pouted "Oh, okay." she tip-toed and gave him a quick peck on the lips and grinned "I'll wait for you later then!"
He gave her a quick nod and skipped away from Karin, making his way through the small crowd in the halls.
When he got back to the halls of the second years, he noticed Momo standing on her tip-toes holding up the poster. It seems like she was looking for someone in the classroom.
'Oh right... it's my turn now.'
He started to near her as he heard her softly ask whose turn was it now.
Everyone in the classroom ignored her, for they were too busy. He walked and stood behind her, and spoke up "It's my turn now."
As soon as she recognized the voice, she didn't dare look back and just handed him the poster without looking at him in the face. When she succeeded in handing it over, she quickly walked in the classroom and got herself busy with the first thing she found.
He stared at Momo for a second, gawking slightly at her beautiful costume and the blonde wig she wore. It made her look so different.
And at the corner of his eye he noticed Chris looking at Momo with adoring eyes.
'Stupid gay foreigner half-blood idiot gentleman stupid stupid stupid.'
Before he could speak out loud his thoughts, he quickly left the classroom and walked around the school building.
When he reached one of the old classrooms that weren't used anymore, he closed the door and sat down, sighing out the breath he kept in unknowingly.
He looked down at his right hand, focusing on his fingers that managed to barely touch Momo's soft skin while she handed him the poster.
After shaking his head, he cleared off his mind and put back on the calm façade he always had at school.
"Here we go."
"Miss! It's been nearly an hour since we've been waiting here! Where are our orders?"
"Hey! We need to order!"
"Excuse me! We need to pay!"
"Hurry up will ya?"
Rukia finally lost it.
"SHUT THE HELL UP WE'RE IN FREAKING 5 HERE AND WE HAVE ALMOST 80 CUSTOMERS! IF YOU HAVE TIME TO COMPLAIN WHY DON'T YOU DO THIS JOB INSTEAD!"
Everyone froze on their spot with eyes wide open.
After taking a deep breath, Rukia smiled again "Now, let's all stay calm and continue hm?"
The customers just nodded as Ichigo and Renji snickered at Rukia.
The raven haired girl glared at the two "GET BACK TO WORK!"
Ichigo and Renji squeaked like girls, scared by Rukia almost looking like Medusa, and got back to work.
Momo mentally laughed nervously at her friend's behaviour. She noticed Rangiku at the corner of her eye walking in the classroom with a very familiar face.
The man raised his eyebrows in surprise and smiled warmly at the model as she smiled back.
"Rukia!" Rangiku chirped and hugged her friend "He's here!"
Rukia looked back at Rangiku, now calm and composed "Oh, really?" she looked past Rangiku and greeted the brown haired man "Yo!"
Rangiku smacked Rukia "Please be more kind to him!" she fidgeted and muttered "He's important."
"Then you must also talk to Momo and Orihime about this too." Rukia huffed "I don't know if you and Momo had a fight or something, but we're not in kindergarden anymore." she dragged Momo to Rangiku and her boyfriend "Talk about it and resolve things. It's annoying to see you two so distant to each other. It gives me bad vibes and I get easily irritated." she crossed her arms "I'm going to work."
Momo stood puzzled in front of Rangiku as Rukia grabbed the empty tray from her hands.
Rangiku glared at Momo as she played with the curls of her blonde wig "Uhm..."
"Well!" Rangiku huffed "Momo, this is my boyfriend, Sousuke Aizen. Sousuke, this is Momo." she held tightly Sousuke's arm "Just so you know Momo, we're really going out. We're not faking anything."
Momo felt a stab going through her chest at Rangiku's words.
'She's right anyway. She has all the right to be mad at me...'
A shoe suddenly hit Rangiku's head as she angrily stared at Rukia "Hey! That hurt!"
"So did what you said to Momo!" Rukia yelled from across the room "Seriously! It gets on my nerves when you treat her like that!"
The two started to glare at each other and Rangiku raised her eyebrow at Momo "You didn't tell her, didn't you?"
Momo stood quietly as guilt crawled up on her "I..."
"What is it? We're not trustworthy enough for your little secrets?" Rangiku whipped her hair behind her
"Now, now." Aizen put his arm around Rangiku "You pretty girls shouldn't fight with each other like that." he smiled warmly
Rangiku nearly melted "B-but..."
"I'll be sitting at one of your tables. Try to sort things out, I'm sure you'll understand each other once you put your armors down." he waved quickly at the two girls and walked to an empty table in the classroom.
Rangiku sighed dreamily "Isn't he perfect?" as her eyes shone in almost a creepy way.
"Er... Sure." Momo said taking a step back and looked down at her feet covered in the long skirt of the white dress Rangiku made.
Rangiku glanced at Momo and sighed in defeat at the sight of her best friend so sad "Come on. Let's have some tea and sweets at another classroom and talk about it."
"Uhm... Aizen-san looks like a good guy." Momo broke the silence as she got a slice of cake.
"I know." Rangiku lazily looked somewhere else in the classroom, avoiding Momo's eyes. She sipped her orange juice.
There was an awkward silence for a moment.
"I... I'm really sorry..." Momo looked down at her lap, clenching her small fists.
Rangiku barely glanced at Momo and her eyes immediately softened up and she wanted to cry and jump on her best friend.
But she resisted. "Can you even understand how I feel?" Momo looked up to apologize again but she got cut off by Rangiku "You lied to me. Your bestfriend. I really thought you two were together. Like an item. A thing. Ot whatever you wanna call it."
Momo was on the verge of tears "I..!"
"You planned to lie to me for good?" Rangiku ate the whole slice of cake on her plate "Love life is something you HAVE to tell me!"
The brunette bit her lip to hold back. Then she looked confused 'I HAVE to?'
"You know why! Because bad things happen when you don't tell your best friend about your love life! I wouldn't be able to help you to know if he's being true or a liar to you! What if you two got married!"
'Married?'
"AND THEN BEFORE YOU KNOW IT HE MIGHT BE ALREADY CHEATING ON YOU WITH ANOTHER WHORE! AND YOU MIGHT DISCOVER IT IN THE WORST WAY POSSIBLE! AND THEN YOU'RE GONNA BE SAD! YOU'RE GONNA CRY!"
'Cheat? Cry?'
"AND THEN! YOU'RE GONNA HAVE AN EMOTIONAL BREAKDOWN AND ATTEMPT SUICIDE BEFORE I EVEN GET THE CHANCE TO STOP YOU!" Rangiku started crying like there was no tomorrow.
"Uhm Ran-chan, I never had the intention of getting marri-"
"MOMO DON'T SUICIDE! NOOOO!" Rangiku cried like a kid as Momo sweat dropped, trying to console her friend. "I HAD A NIGHTMARE ABOUT IT! WHERE YOU GOT BETRAYED BY TOUSHIROU RIGHT AFTER YOU TWO GOT MARRIED! AND THEN YOU COMMITTED SUICIDE!"
"Hai, hai, Let's go somewhere else for now." Momo sweatdropped
"Feel better?" Momo rubbed Rangiku's back as they sat on the school's rooftop.
Rangiku nodded and hiccupped.
"So.. you were mad at me because of.. a dream?" Momo said dumbfounded
Rangiku furiously shook her head saying no
"Then.. you were mad at me because I didn't tell you about the fake relationship?"
Rangiku nodded and spoke up "also because of the dream."
'That's what I said earlier didn't I?' Momo sweatdropped handing a small plastic bottle of water "Here."
"Thanks..." Rangiku took a sip
"So... You really were mad just because of that?" Momo asked still finding this absurd
"Don't say it like it's absurd! I was just worried!" Rangiku frowned "Let me ask you something. If back then, during summer, I didn't bust you and Toushirou in his house in a compromising yet misunderstanding situation, you would've never told me about the fake relationship?"
Momo hesitated "Ran-chan, I promised him I wouldn't tell anyone. Even if he's that much of a prick, a promise is a promise." she pursed her lips "I always keep promises, no matter what. Maybe this may sound stupid, but I care so much for promises that whenever someone else makes a promise with me I get so disappointed in them when they don't keep it." she frowned and took off the long blonde wig "Maybe because since I see promises that way I keep fixed on the thought that everyone should do so too."
Rangiku put the bottle next to her "Well... You should know Promises are made to be broken."
A cold breeze of wind blew by making the girls shiver.
"But what happened. Back when I knew about your fake relationship you suddenly broke it and then you got back together. I thought this second time was for real because... well, just because, and then I suddenly see him with Karin-the-Bitch while he's still officially in a relationship with you and then I discover that your relationship was actually fake. Again."
"That "Oficially in a relationship" totally sounded Facebook-like."
"I know right? Recently I've gotten so much into it that everything I say sounds almost like Facebook."
"Cool Story girl." another chilly breeze blew "Alright, let's go back in, your boyfriend must be waiting for you." Momo stood up and helped Rangiku up.
"Oh right, he's handsome isn't he? And he's very smart too! And kind!" Rangiku sighed dreamily. Then she looked at Momo as she put back her blonde wig on.
While they walked down the stairs, Rangiku went ahead and looked up at Momo standing against the light, looking like an angel.
Rangiku frowned "Curse you, Model!"
Momo's eyes widened "What's wrong?"
"Can't you try to look uglier! I'm afraid Aizen might fall for you!" Rangiku started messing with Momo's hair and make up by smearing it up.
"Hey cut it out!"
