I am Momoko. And right now I'm in a huge pinch!

A guy I hardly even know just told me that he admires me, oh but not only that! He hugged me so tight that I caould barely breathe, or gasp for a little bit of air, and he also KISSED me! Not on the cheeks, not on the forehead, not on the hand, but on my delicate lips! He took my first kiss away! And my first kiss was supposed to be perfect! Supposed to get it when I turn fifteen and have a brunette guy with a bad boy image as a boy friend!

But right now, I am thirteen... and this guy is just way too fast! Hello?! Do I even know you!?!?!?!

Right now, at the moment, my vision is still blurry, and this guy, Mamoru is still hugging me! So I tried to push him away, but I didn't have the strength to do so... we stood there for quite some time. I really wanted to push him away but I just couldn't resist! Mamoru is a really handsome, cute, brown- headed guy... that I almost pictured him on my daydream earlier... but... This was such an awkward moment...

"Please... let me go..." I breathed out, yeah, if I had any left! He was hugging me so tight that I couldn't even breathe! Sometimes I think I'm such an idiot..! I should've pushed him with all of my strength, slapped him, and shout, "PERVERT!" but I wonder why I couldn't even do it! May be... just may be... my feelings for the weather guy just transferred to him... but that's not possible!!! Is it...?!

I was in deep thought when I realized that slowly, his grip on me lessened, and I found that oppurtunity to push him, push him away from me!

He then looked me with those mesmerizing eyes of his, and I turned away. No! I will not be hypnotized by your eyes! I told myself over and over, yeah, that's right...! Even if he's that gorgeous, I refuse to give in!!! I am Momoko! And Blossom as well! Either way! I will never give in that easily.

So I gathered up all my courage, I looked up, focused as much as I could and prepared for to... to speak up!

"Listen... I really don't know you... but what you did was-"

"Irrational...?" he cut me off, well, I was about to say stupid, but okay! Let's go with that!

"Yea... I- I mean... you're really a very good looking guy... but you really shouldn't have done that..." I said gently, nervously laughing, and I saw him stutter for awhile and looked all confused, he also let out a nervous laugh. My fingers still traced my lips, and I know that I'm still blushing, due to... what happened earlier...

"Oh...! Sorry.. it's just... I couldn't help myself..." he said scratching his head and looking the other way, yeah... shame on you! But I guess when he kissed me... I felt so... I mean... alive. I want to feel it again but I'm still young for that... girls do the kissing things when they reach the age of fourteen... and right now... I want to be fourteen...

"Hey... Momo-chan... really sorry. I ju-"

"Momo-chan? Where did you get that from? And why are you calling me that like I'm already your girlfriend? How did you know my name?!" I interrupted, angrily. I admit, I am a very impatient girl... my mood changes every so often. And right now, I'm caught in the moods between nervous, angry, impatient... and curiosity...

He then turned to me, this time he was serious, his hands were in his pocket. He stared at me for a while, so I stared back. No other choice...

He then smiled, a gentle, innocent smile and said, "Like I said, I've always admired you... so I was determined to make you mine ever since the day I saw you and your friends at the park."

When he said that, I think my mouth formed an "O". He's so sweet! Can this guy be any sweeter?! But I have got to be careful... after all, people do say that men are tricky, ohhhhh! But can somebody not be in love with this guy!!!! Haaah...! Calm down Momoko... there are other times to be 'boy-crazy!'

"So... umm... so how did you know my name?" I asked, my eyes entwined with his,

"U-Uh-un... I saw you at the park, eating ice cream... then when you walked away... I went to the bench where you sat on, and I saw your paper... in Math." Oh no he didn't...!

"You got a 65."

AHHHHHH!!!!!!! I knew I should've studied hard that day!!! PAST IS PAST!!!! And I can't believe this guy! One minute he was being all googly eye on me and now he's laughing at me! I knew this guy was just messing with me!

"I know that I barely passed. Give my paper back, and then we can both move on with our lives. And you -not- being my boyfriend." I said half angry, half calm. Right now, I wish I were Blossom so I could just fly away from him... but then again... he's just so cool and so cute!! Not to mention so handsome!

I looked at him yet again, and saw him smile once more. His smile is so gentle and so innocent for a guy. He's dress ruggedly, yet when I look at his face, I can't help but stare at him in awe, imagining him as my day dream prince.

I looked away yet again and walked up to him, leaning my head against his muscular chest. He was shocked at first, may be I'm being too forward,

Right there, time soon stopped for the both of us, and I could hear his heart pounding as fast as mine... it's nice to hear it...

I could feel him relax a bit, breathing, no, panting... He was quite nervous yet all excited... just like how I feel.

I felt his arms snake around my petite waist, it feels so good that way...

I then opened my mouth, I wanted to tell him if... if...

We could start slow... friends first... then koibeteru... Mamoru...

I straightened myself, and looked up to him, "Listen.. I-..."

"Momoko- san...?" I jerked in hearing the door screech and someone calling out my name. So, we turned around to see Miyako and Kaoru staring at us oddly. That was so embarrasing! I felt like the blood from my body had drained out...! And by the looks of Mamoru, he turned pale as well!

I stood there... I didn't know how to react. I found myself utterly stupid...

"Aa! Gomen! Sorry for interrupting! Please continue!!!" Miyako said waving her hand patheticlly, blushing madly, and now that I was back to my conciousness... I noticed something more to be embarrassed about...

I found myself in his arms! I already knew that but when my friends saw me with him, hugging ME!

I blushed so hard that I pushed him away as quickly as I could, he looked at me for a second, baffled at my reaction, and I looked at him flushed, and by the look on his face, he then shrugged the feeling off, and glared coldly at the girls...

He too was crimson red, but acted so cool and almighty! Darn that guy!

"Anou na! This is not what you-"

"Yea-yea... save the chit-chat later... bell's about to ring..." Kaoru said apatheticlly and then she started to go down the stairs, Miyako soon followed, still blushing and kept on saying these exact words,

"Good luck Momoko-san!"

How embarassing!

I heaved a sigh, saying out loud, "WHY ME?!"

Then I heard him laugh, so I turned around and glared at him, giving him my dagger glare! If only looks could kill, he'd be dead.

"Baka mitai da yo ne?" I whispered, hoping he'd hear me, I was crying and laughing at the same time... Here I was, about to tell him about us, and now I feel like a fool for even thinking about it! I mean, who am I kidding? I like senpai from class 2-1, and the news reporter, who's name I do not know...

Yet I feel so strongly that I, really do have feelings for this guy...

Sniffing, and sobbing, he noticed me, he sighed and put his finger at my cheek, wiping a tear away.

"You don't look as beautiful as you really are when you're crying, you know...?" he said with that smile of his again, I stared at him for a while as I listened to the beat of my heart...

"Ne..." I breathed out, taking his hand off my chin, he then took a step back, as if knowing what I am about to say. Good.

Clearing my thoughts, I opened my eyes and made eye contact with him, focusing with all my might.

"Ne... Mamoru-san-"

"Mamoru-kun..." he said in a sad tone, showing those puppy eyes, I didn't know anybody could even do that!

"H-hai...? As I was saying... Mamoru-kun... I, I think that we should be friends..." I said smiling, and right then and there, the look on his face looked so depressing! He looked at me sadly, as if he was about to beg for a chance... and I thought he was about to break down from rejection... who wouldn't? But who says I'm rejecting him?

"I see-"

"First..." I cut him off, letting him know that I didn't really reject him... I mean, he could be my one and only admirer, although he was too fast on the moves, it was unforgivable, yet I do not have the heart to take a grudge on him.

"C-come again?!" He stuttered with excitement in his voice,

I then cleared my throat and smiled sweetly at him, "I said, we could be friends first... and if... we... did... ya' know, progress... then may be... we could be..."

"K-Koibeteru!?" He shouted happily, keeping the firmness in his voice, I looked at him again, and smiled, "Hai."

He then calmed himself down in hearing the bell ring, meaning time to go back to class... at least I was able to -not- reject him!

"Ikuyo... Mamoru-kun..." I said, offering him a hand. He accepted it with a full hearted smile and held my head tightly, never letting go was the feeling that I felt when he held me, sending shivers to my spine. Guess my tomorrows are going to be the best ones yet...! With him here, although I've only met him and him being too straight forward, I guess our soon to be realtionship's going to work out...

-Eventually-

After school...

"So!?" Miyako nudged her elbow to my rib, Kaoru on the other hand, was packing her stuff, but I personally felt that she's going to be listening from what had happened earlier...

"Momoko-san!?" Miyako kept on calling and wailing to know the latest gossip, which is me and Mamoru...

I then looked at the Ruff brothers leaving the classroom, me packing my stuff and with the corner of my eye, watching Mamoru leave, and I could see girls getting close to them, but I didn't get jealous at all... may be I did, but I would never show it.

I watched him go, and right before he walked out of the door, he looked at our direction, smiled and said, "Mata ashita ne... Momo-chan." And walked off, with the girls trailing them from behind, even Himeko. And there, I saw Keane-sensei leave as well.

I then giggled softly, I felt a little over-joyed from it, I really do hope that he and I will be... like one in those drama... like a couple!

"Momoko-san!" I shot my head up and looked at Miyako, "What...?"

"So... what's the scoop!?" she said ever-so-excitedly, and I... I just smiled, closed my bag, walked up to the door, with the girls following me from behind.

I looked back and winked, "Na-i-sho!"

Hope you like the third one!!!! Good news guys!!! There's going to be a new character in this fic!!!

Tee hee hee... and a lot of twists as well! Especially for Miyako and Momoko! Kaoru's gonna be -a surprise- for you guys!
