Momiji's First Love

By: Spring

Prologue:

Momiji stared sadly out into the garden of the Sohma house, gazing at Kisa and Hiro as they played.

"I wanna play too…" he whispered to himself. Shaking the thought out of his head, he bent down over his incomplete homework and punched a few letters into his laptop.

He was working on a literature assignment: "My perfect one."

He sat up and stared again at Kisa and Hiro, chasing pigeons away from Hatori's vegetable patch.

Finally, he started to write...

My Perfect One

By Momiji Sohma

My perfect one would have to be funny. She would have to like me as much as I like her. She would have to be there for me always.

My perfect one would have to be next to me when I'm sad, trying to cheer me up, or crying along with me.

My perfect one would have to be there with me when I'm happy. She would have to laugh with me and smile with me.

My perfect one would have the softest eyes and the sweetest smile.

My perfect one would play with me and force me to play her games, even when I don't want to.

My perfect one would study with me before exams.

My perfect one would have to be kind and cheerful. She would have to be a little clumsy, maybe.

My best friend would be sad for me if I got an "F" on my math test, but my perfect one would be sitting beside me, saying, "I always hated math."
