Manta X Momiji

Manta

so there i was, walking down the street with my book under my arm, thinking about geting a bigger dictionary, and maybe a back pack ( my books are heavy)

" hmmm, i wonder how much it would cost?"

Makeing up muy mind i walked to the corner to cross the street, while waiting for the light to change i shifted the dictionary from one arm to the other. ( yes......time to get a back )

The light changed and i walked along quietly, minding my own bisness, when a person suddenly ran in to me from no where, knocking be backwards on to the street.

" oww, you okay?" I asked kindly as i could, rubing the spot on my rear where I fell, i couldn't think........ a cute blond girl was on the ground in front of me, looking up at me ( Up!!!!! she was looking up at me!!!! - but she was on the ground so.....)

" i'm okay, here let's get out of the street" she said, geting up and looking me in the eye ( We are the same hight!!!! - today must be my lucky day. unless i was knocked out. )

takeing me by the hand she lead me over ot the other side of the street. ( dear god, i realy realy hope i'm not unconcious , or dead.)

"what's your name?" she asked her voice soft, her large blue eyes filled with wonder and .... was that hope???

" i'm manta, who are you?" i answerd, finding a bench and siting on it.

"I'm momiji. nice to meet you manta" she said. siting down on the bench next to me and touching my hand.

Momiji

"i hope we can be friends manta." i heard my self say, holding his hand, mmmmm such a nice feeling.

" i hope we can be friends too, momiji." he replyed, his eyes large with hope and wonder. ( and we're the same hight Yay! V. good for me - )

" good, let's go...... where were you going?" I asked, tilting my head to the side so my hari fell in my eyes, makeing me look even cuter!

" the book....... Where is it?! " manta said relizeing his book was missing.

" looking for this?" i asked, handing him the book i saw him with ealyer. ( he must be strong to be able to carry it. ohhhh, muslces O.O )

" oh... thank you..... any way, i was going to the book store to get a new one. Where were you going?" he asked.

"oh, I was just going home. "I said ( please ask me to come with youl, please oh please oh please)

"Oh, do you want to come with me?" he asked, looking in to his eyes (so pretty) I smiles and bounced energetically.

" Yes, I would love to.!" I laughed and pounced on manta, cuddling him for a minute. (I'm so happy I'm not a girl )

" Ah, okay, " he said, I think I startled him. I giggled and took his hand. " Come on manta"

"Okay, let's go." he laughed, walking with me. (Oh dear, I hope he knows I'm a boy O.O)

Manta

I was being dragged down the street by Momiji, she is soooooo terribly cute... I have realized that she has a very nice posterior. (Oh stop it, stop thinking like hao manta. xx ) the sudden pain in my hand from the dictionary reminds me I need a backpack.

" Momiji, do you know if they have back packs at the book store?" I asked her.

Yes, I remember getting one for high school there." She said, my heart skipped a beat.

" Momiji, how old are you?" I asked not believing my luck.

"I'm 16, manta, how old are you? " she answered pleasantly, bringing me through a crowd of people.

" I'm 18!" I said haply, ( this is great, I really hope it's not a dream. ) I though to my self.

" here we are, manta." momiji said, looking at me happily and squeezing my hand. " let's go in."

" yes," I said. walking in and towards to the dictionary section, I picked up one that looked right and checked the price, letting it down with a sigh, I didn't have enough money. ( cry )

" manta, what's wrong??" momiji asked, reading the price over my shoulder.

" oh that's no problem, come on, let's get a backpack." she said, taking the smaller book in one hand and my hand in the other. leading me over to the backpack section.

" but I don't have enough money." I started to say.

" don't worry about money, just get what you want." she said, handing me a backpack, checking for the fit, I looked up.

" momiji, it's perfect. but, I can't...." I said looking worried.

" pay for it??? come on, let's go." she said, takeing the pack and me to the counter. putting the pack and the larger dictionary on the counter along with a smaller book. please charge this to the soma account, she said showing the casher a card.

" thank you, have a nice day sir." the clerk said, handing the books and backpack over.

" thank you." I said, putting the dictionaries in the backpack, and looking at momiji, can I carry that book for you? I asked, takeing the book from her hand and placeing it in my pack, sliping the straps over my sholders.

" thank you manta." momiji said. takeing my hand. smileing ( dear god, she is so very very cute.)

"may i buy you a drink at the cafe?" i asked her. " to make up for this?" i said gestureing to the back pack.

" oh manta. i would love nothing more." she replyed huging me tightly.

"come on then momiji." i said, leading her to the cafe a block from trhe book store.

Momiji

" thank you manta, I like you." i said to him as he pulled out my chair for me to sit. ( he is such a gentleman - )

" momiji...... i like you to." he said, as he sat oppisite form me.

" good, ...... what are you ordering?" i said trying to destracting my self from what he just said by looking at the menu. " the tea sounds good, i'll take that."

" I'll have the same, tea for two then? " manta said, talking to the waiter, who appeared form no where. ( I hate when they do that xx )

" momiji, may i ask you something? " manta said, takeing my hand over the tabel. ( dear god, he's asking me out, perfect! yes! dear god, i hope.)

" yes? " I say nonchalantly, trying not to explode with joy.

" now I know that we just met, and all, but i...... i... whant..." manta says, looking for the right words

" yes manta, i would like to go out with you." i answer the unasked question.

" oh.....Great." smileing and releaved

" so you'll be my girl-friend?" manta ask, haveing hardly bleaveing me, the tea arives and i pick up a cup to take a sip.

" i'm a boy." i say silently in to the tea, a choak coming acrossed the table from manta.

" you are," manta says. " is there a diffrence? I still like you, momiji." manta says, siping some tea.

" oh, manta, ... your wonderful." i say happly, drinking quielty.
