Art || Todomomo

Chapter 7

Momo's expression grew dull as she thought about the person she saw in the coffee shop.

No, that's not it. It's in the past, it's in the past. Let's not go there. It can't be him anyway. It can't be, right?

Momo looked at the painting and broke into a small smile.

Todoroki sure is amazing, there's no doubting that. He was able to project all my messed up emotions in a simple and well, a quite reassuring way.

The events of the day suddenly played in her head and she covered her face in embarrassment.

I hugged him, I HUGGED HIM!!! and I thought I made him uncomfortable but then he said, 'I enjoyed it.'
Did he? What does that even mean?
Nooooo, he probably just said that to break the awkwardness. But he usually isn't someone who 'breaks' the awkwardness. Ahhhhh!!! Come on Momo, your better than this, just calm down. Hugs are normal, hugs are friendly.

"I need tea." Momo mumbled to herself as she made her way to the common room.

Kyouka was on the couch, and she looked exhausted.

"Kyouka what's wrong?" Momo asked,
Kyouka looked at her for a few seconds and then looked away,
"Yaomomo." She paused, looking at her again.
The room grew silent.
"I-I," She stuttered,

Oh no, is she okay? I hope everything's alright.

Momo held her breath.

"I NEED ICE-CREAM!!!" Kyouka whined.
"Is it your time of the month?" Momo sighed, relieved that nothing was wrong was with Kyouka.
"Yes it is and I want ice cream but I just can't walk and I- please help me Yaomomo!!" Kyouka pleaded.
Momo nodded her head in understanding.
"Don't worry I'll go get some." She said as she put on her coat.
"Your the best!" Kyouka half cheered half groaned. "Oh and get it butterscotch flavored!"
"Yes, yes, oh and have some ginger tea while I'm gone, it will make you feel a bit better." Momo instructed before leaving the room.
"Yes ma'am."

Momo smiled to herself as she quickly made her way to the convenience store.

It's getting colder, winter will be here soon enough.

As she entered the store she spotted Todoroki,
"Hey Todor..." she stopped midway.
There was someone talking to him,
Momo's eyes grew wide in shock.

No way, it can't be, this isn't happening.

"Yaoyorozu?"Shouto turned around and then he turned around.

Momo stopped in her tracks, she felt numb,
And then the voices started playing in her head.

"Is that the Momo Yaoyorozu."
"Yeah, that's the one."
"I can't believe it, she looks so innocent."
"There's no way she could be innocent, look at those eyes, it's so cold."
"She actually had the guts to do and say such things, she's bringing dishonor to the Yaoyorozu name."
"She's a shame to the Yaoyorozu's."
"I always knew there was something weird about her, it was only a matter of time before it showed up."
The voices were growing louder and louder as Momo felt herself grow smaller. The crowd, it seemed to suffocate her.
"I didn't do it! I didn't do it! I didn't do it!" She yelled in her head,
"It was him, he did it, please I didn't do anything." Her mind was screaming.

Momo felt uneasy, she felt dizzy and then suddenly everything went black.

"YAOYOROZU!"

Momo slowly opened her eyes, a white ceiling being the first thing she sees.

What happened?
Wait...
I fainted again didn't I?
