Chapter 10

Momo's Days at ALPG

"ew, you like my brother?"

Momo was quite nervous when Toyo Soune, who was the sister of her crush, overheard her saying that she liked Taya to her best friends, Defoko and Teto. Momo put on a brave face as she replied. "yes I do, do you have a problem with that?" "majorly" Toyo answered. "and why would that be?" Teto asked. Toyo sat down at their booth next to Defoko, who shuffled away slightly. "because your related to Momotaro Momone, aren't you midget?" Toyo asked. "yes I am, I am Momo Momone, his younger sister" Momo said, her steely façade not faltering. "I thought so, Momotaro and I were friends once. But then I started seeing this guy, and that set Momotaro off. I think he may have liked me romantically, I regret what I have done though. I broke up with my boyfriend over the holidays….. I haven't seen or spoken to Momotaro or Ruko since" Toyo explained. "so you liked my brother?" Momo asked confused. "yes, and I still do….. maybe, I don't know" Toyo answered. "I hope I can reconnect with your brother…. I haven't been the same since I got together with Ruko" Toyo explained sadly.

Momo felt sorry for the blue haired girl. She would have helped Toyo get together with her brother, if it weren't for the fact that Momotaro wasn't happy with her at the moment. Plus, Momo had her own problems right now. Then Defoko got an idea. "well then Toyo, we can help you…. But only if you help us, help Momo get together with your brother. Sound good?"

Momo went scarlet red at Defoko's idea, there was no way Toyo was gonna help a bunch of year 8s at something so stupid. Toyo spoke "…. Deal." Momo was stunned, Toyo Soune, who was apparently a 'tyrant' according to the pinkette's brother, was gonna help Momo, the shyest, most not romantic person ever, with her problems? "wait, what? Your actually gonna help me?" Momo choked out. "sure, why not." Toyo shrugged. "its about time my brother got a girlfriend, plus you're the cutest little thing I've ever seen. Your perfect for my bro."

Defoko and Teto seemed pretty happy about the plan, as did Momo… kinda.

!~!~!~!~!~

The next week or so for Momo composed of getting to know Taya more. She told Len and Tei her plan and they agreed to help. It was difficult for Len at first since he had to learn to keep his mouth shut. The girls had to make sure he got as little alone time with Taya as possible. When he proved that he could keep a secret, the girls let him go and do his own thing.

Today however was the day that Momo Momone planned to ask Taya to be her boyfriend. To say that the pinkette was nervous would be an understatement. She was a shuddering, paranoid mess. Momo was walking with Tei to school that morning. Tei was really excited to see if Taya would say yes to Momo.

Momo on the other hand was completely terrified. "c'mon Momo, its not like Taya bites. Plus, I saw the way he looks at you in Science class" Tei said. "well of course he looks at me in Science Tei, he sits behind me." Momo replied. "oh stop making excuses and go get you're dream guy" Tei practically ordered. "ok, ok, geez" Momo replied slightly frustrated. The two girls walked into the school building, heading for homeroom.

Homeroom was quite loud (courtesy of Sargeant Canine). Momo was sitting next to Taya in her usual spot at the front of the room. She kept glancing at the blue haired boy from time to time. She hasn't been caught by said boy yet. But that was about to change as Momo was staring at Taya a little too long, he turned around with the feeling of a stare burning into his back. "uh, Momo? Are you alright? You're looking a little red." Taya asked. Momo's blush burned hotter then a thousand suns when she noticed Taya talking to her. "ur, yes! I feel fine, hehe totally fine, see?" Momo replied embarrassed. "ok.. if you say so" Taya replied. He turned his attention back to Sargeant Canine who was reading the announcements for the day. None of which concerned Momo as most of them consisted of club and sport related things. Momo was trying to rest from sport stuff at the moment. She spent 8 years of her primary school life making sure that she got her PE grade higher then anything else.

~!~!~!~!~!

It was now recess time. Both of Momo's first lessons involved Taya asking if she was alright as she kept on staring at him. She told Len and Tei that she was gonna tell Taya her feelings around mid-recess. They left the two alone 'so then they can go check for club notifications.'

So here Momo was. With her crush Taya, staring over the railing of the school top floor veranda at the quite pretty suburban area that surrounded the school. She was planning on how to say what she felt and how she should ask him. She was oblivious to the fact however, that she wasn't thinking of conversation starters in her head, but out loud. Allowing Taya to hear everything that she was saying. He wasn't sure what she was referring to however. To him it could be about anything. He chuckled at his pink haired friend's bright blush getting redder by the second. Taya's chuckle pulled Momo out of her thinking space. She looked at the blue haired Nitro and blushed deeply. She finally thought of a way to confess and her heart pounded harder with each passing moment. 'well this is it' Momo thought to herself. 'this isn't gonna end well, I'm sure of it.'

The pinkette cleared her throat quietly and shyly asked Taya. "Taya? Have you ever had feelings for someone before?"

Mwahahahaha! I am so evil! This cliffhanger will kill ya for sure.

I'm sorry that this chapter took so long, our puppy chewed on the computer's charger cord (since it's a laptop) so I couldn't charge the laptop to write because it was ironically flat when our puppy chewed the charger. So if ya gonna be frustrated at me for not getting this chapter out quicker then blame the dog. Its also out later then expected because I have had a throat infection for the past two weeks. My friends and classmates probably want to stab me yelling "stop coughing!" my mum sends me to school during illnesses if their not contagious.

So again, sorry for the lateness of this chapter and I hope you enjoy the cliffhanger (which should drive you insane as well). The next thing I am uploading is chapter 4 of Five Nights at Luminara's.

So I hope to see next time, cya, nya
