62"Hey Toshiro!" Rangiku shouted as she ran into their homeroom class a little bit before school, "Guess what!"
It was obvious that he wasn't going to be getting any more work done, so Toshiro set down his pen and crossed his arms, "What do you want, Matsumoto?"
The girl pouted, "Toshiro, I said you can call me by my first name! Anyways, there's a girl I want you to meet!"
Toshiro sighed, "How many times have you tried to set me up with somebody?" The short, white-haired boy hadn't ever been in a real relationship, so it was Rangiku who constantly introduced him to girls.
"But this is different! She's really pretty, and she's shy too! Not like the other ones who run after you screaming!" Rangiku gave him a puppy-dog face, "Pleeeeease?"
"No!" he retorted, looking away, "I don't want to be set up with some tramp I barely know."
Rangiku frowned, but lightened up as she said, "Okay, Toshiro, but you're going to regret it…."
The bell rang and everybody else began to file in through the door. Amongst the familiar faces of his classmates was one of a girl he had never seen before.
"Everybody, this is Momo Hinamori. She'll be transferring into our class for the remainder of the year, so please welcome her." The teacher scanned the room for an empty chair, "Oh! You can sit next to Matsumoto!"
Grinning, the new girl walked quickly over to Rangiku's desk and set her bag down. The two hugged and whispered a greeting to each other. This confused Toshiro, so he bent over to poke Rangiku on the back and asked, "Who's that?"
Rangiku rolled her eyes, "You should pay more attention in class, Toshiro. This is Momo Hinamori."
Twitching he whispered harshly, "I know that, stupid! I meant how do you know each other?"
She shrugged and explained, "We went to school together when we were younger. The two of us kept up over email and her parents moved back here," she brought her voice down to the lowest whisper possible, "Are you starting to regret your decision yet?"
"So this is who she wanted to set me up with?" he thought, looking at the pretty, black haired girl. "What do you mean? I don't even know her," he lied convincingly. Maybe he wouldn't have minded going on a date with her
Momo turned and looked at the silver haired boy. He waved his hand just a little bit and then went back to his work. She smiled a little bit and turned to pay attention to what the lesson was.
At lunch, Rangiku was going to have Momo sit with her, Orihime, Rukia, Ichigo, and Toshiro, but soon had another idea. It was more of a plan actually.
"Toshiro! Momo! Why don't you meet us up on the roof?" Rangiku suggested to them. They agreed, then went up and sat by the railing. It was silent for a few moments, until they heard the lock on the door click.
"What was that?!" Momo asked, alarmed. Toshiro could see how upset and confused she was in her eyes.
He ran to the door and started pulling on the handle. After several minutes of kicking, pushing, and banging, Toshiro gave up and sighed as he slid his back down the wall onto the floor.
Momo's eyes were wide, "It's my first day here, and lunch is almost over! What if they call my parents? They won't be happy to hear about this…" She trailed off, thinking about what kind of punishment her parents had in store.
Toshiro looked at her, "So what do we do for who-knows- how- long we'll be up here?" The girl walked over and sat down next to Toshiro, a little too close for him.
"We can talk and play games," Momo suggested, pulling a string loose from the hem of her skirt and fiddling with it in her fingers. "Tell me about you."
He sharply released some air and replied, "Only if you tell me about you."
The girl rolled her eyes, "Fine."
This was followed by a couple hours of the two questioning each other, some questions making sense and others making them burst out laughing.
"Tell me something embarrassing about you, Momo," Toshiro demanded, holding back the urge to laugh when she blushed and looked down at her lap.
"Okay…when I was little, I used to…wet the bed," The last part came out rushed, but Toshiro could still understand.
He started laughing so hard his eyes were beginning to water. This irritated Momo, who got up and moved several feet away, staying on the same wall.
"Come on, Hinamori, it is pretty funny and you know it!" The white-haired boy called over to her, "You can come back over now."
She turned her head defiantly, in a 'no you meanie' kind of way. However, when the wind started blowing and she realized school would be over soon, Momo went back over to him and whined, "It's cold, Shiro-chan!" As she said this, her head landed on his shoulder for warmth.
Mouth agape, Toshiro pushed her away, "SHIRO-CHAN?!"
Momo nodded and said, "You're hair is white! Are you stressed out? They say that leads to premature graying…"
A vein popped on his head, "NO! I am not stressed out!"
She leaned on him more, "You aren't very warm, Shiro-chan," she pointed out.
Although he had just been told he wasn't warm, the nearness of Momo made Toshiro's body heat up. He sighed, "So I've been told."
"What if somebody forgets about us? We'll be stuck up here all night." Momo wondered out loud, with hints of worry in her voice.
"When school gets out, we can shout for people down below, I guess," Toshiro suggested, glancing over at the nearby railing overlooking the courtyard. "If they could hear us over all of their own noise," he thought.
There was no response from Momo, so he looked down at her. He was surprised to see her sleeping on his shoulder, with her arms wrapped around his.
After debating internally whether or not to wake her up, Toshiro decided to let her nap. The bell would wake her as soon as everybody was released, anyways.
RING! The bell went off, and a startled Momo let out a little yelp as she awakened. She was surprised to see herself on the roof of her new school with her arms wrapped around…
"Shiro-chan!" Momo exclaimed, "How late is it?"
"School just ended stupid, why do you think the bell rang?" Toshiro stopped, "Wait, Shiro-chan!? Again?"
Momo nodded and stood to go over to the railing. There were people in the courtyard, so they started shouting, "Hey! Up here!"
Nobody could hear them, but soon Momo and Toshiro noticed Rangiku coming out of the building.
"MATSUMOTO!" Toshiro screamed down, trying to get her attention. She, like everybody else, couldn't hear them.
Suddenly, he had an idea. Toshiro ran to his bag and grabbed an apple from it. Momo could see what he was about to do and tried to stop him before the apple left his hand, but it was too late. The apple flew down towards the ground…
And exploded on impact right at Rangiku's feet.
When Rangiku noticed that it was Toshiro who had thrown the apple at her, she shouted, "What the hell was that for?"
"For locking us up here!" Meanwhile, Momo was standing back, for the noise was giving her a headache.
Rangiku grinned, although Toshiro couldn't see it from the roof. Most of the crowd had either gone to the main area or had left for home, so it was easier for them to hear each other now.
"Sorry, can't help you! I don't have a key!" Rangiku pointed out, although she really did have a key.
"Come on! Momo's cold, and we're hungry!" Toshiro shouted. Knowing that she wouldn't let them out without some form of bargain, he added, "I'll do your math homework for two weeks!"
Without hesitation, Rangiku ran up and let them out.
"I've got to get home as soon as I can! I'm sorry!" Momo apologized. She then turned to Toshiro, "It was nice to meet you!" With that, she ran off and down the street.
Rangiku leaned over and taunted, "So, did you enjoy your alone time with Momo?"
Before Toshiro could respond, Rangiku hurried away, leaving him alone with his thoughts.
