Little Miss Trouble - Momojirou High School Au

Chapter 10 - Ocean Boards

"Hey! My name is Rumi, but you can call me Mirko!" Mirko introduced herself. "So, you guys wanna buy some skateboards. Complete or custom?".

"We'll take custom skateboards." Jirou spoke smoothly, looking at her nails, leaving no time for Momo to interrupt or say anything. Mirko gave the two a thumbs up.

"Alright then! Custom it is." The white-haired girl explained. She looked at the wall where many boards without wheels were hanging on display. "Just go pick out a board you like and choose some wheels. I'll build it up for ya' when you're done.".

Jirou smiled and nodded while Momo was completely lost with what was going on.

"Thanks Mirko!" Jirou said as she grabbed Momo's hand and dragged her over to the wall with the skateboards.

Momo frowned in frustration as she looked at Jirou. Her look of confusion was now gone. Though she tried to regain her calm, her tone of voice reflected slight annoyance.

"I thought you said I would replace your skateboard and pick it out with you..." Momo spoke as Jirou just looked at the boards and took some off, admiring the designs.

"Mhm, that's exactly what we're doing." Jirou spoke smoothly, keeping her eyes on the board. Momo groaned.

"That's not what I mean!" Momo said. Jirou glanced at her.

"What do you mean?" Jirou asked cluelessly, though she knew perfectly what she was doing. The black-haired girl sighed.

"You said we were buying skateboards! We're only buying one skateboard though!" Momo said. Jirou chuckled as she put the board back.

"Don't be stupid, I'm getting you one as well." Jirou explained as she looked over the skateboards, tracing her finger along them as she found a design that seemed pretty nice. The top was just like any classic skateboard, but the back was ocean blue with a finely painted wave that seemed to form the shape of half a heart. Jirou picked it up as she showed it too Momo. "Look, this one seems pretty cool!".

Momo sighed.

"Listen, I don't have time-" Momo spoke as she had her eyes closed, but as she was opening them, she observed the design on the board. Momo went quiet as she analysed the beautiful drawing on the back of the board. The black-haired girl looked up at Jirou who was cheekily wiggling her eyebrows.

"So? What do ya' think of this one?" Jirou asked. Momo crossed her arms as she glanced away. It was impossible to deny that the design was a masterpiece. Slight blush crept on her cheek as she glanced back.

"It's not bad..." Momo commented. Jirou smiled.

"Great, then we'll take this design!" Jirou spoke as she slung the board under her arm and held it, walking to the counter. Momo walked after her, trying to reason with what they talked about earlier.

"Hey! That doesn't mean I'm getting a skateboard as well!" Momo exclaimed, yelling after her.

Jirou got to the counter as she placed the board on top. Mirko, who seemed to be busy cleaning up some stuff, turned around to see the girl had picked a board.

"Oh? You've picked the ocean one, huh?" Mirko commented. "Pretty neat. It looks beautiful!". Jirou chuckled.

"Thanks, I got good taste." Jirou said. Mirko hummed in agreement.

"Sure, I can tell that for a fact." Mirko replied. Under the counter was a small shelf with wheels to put on the boards to form an actual skateboard. Jirou took a pack of 8 wheels, 4 of them where marine blue and the other 4 were a lighter shade of the blue in the previous pack. Jirou slapped them onto the counter as she looked up at Mirko who seemed to be getting out her tools to build the board.

"Do you have the same board in stock? We'd like to get matching skateboards." Jirou said. Momo raised a finger to interrupt, but despite her attempt, Mirko responded faster.

"Sure thing! I think we do, let me go check!" Mirko said. She put down the tools on the counter as she walked out from behind the counter and crossed a door which had 'Staff Only' written on it.

Jirou hummed lightly before she felt something tap on her shoulder. As she turned around to look at Momo, she was surprised to see her so annoyed, since she was usually calm. Though her facial expression also reflected worry.

"What are you doing!?" Momo whisper-yelled as she saw Mirko come out from the room she had entered previously with a board in her hand. "My parents are going to kill me!". Jirou just brushed it off.

"Don't worry! I'm paying for it anyways, besides, you won't get caught. Just put it under your bed or something." Jirou commented.

Mirko arrived back at the counter, although her expression seemed a little down. She had the board in hand as she flipped it to show the design.

"Sorry, this is the most similar design in stock. It's the exact same thing, just the image is flipped. I hope you guys don't mind." Mirko said with a small frown on her face as she shrugged her shoulders. Jirou just nodded.

"It'll be fine." Jirou assured. Mirko smiled.

"Great, I'll build up the boards then. What wheels are for who?" Mirko asked after confirming Jirou's answer. Jirou thought about it as she then pointed at both packs.

"Actually, could we get a mix of both? Like two wheels of each on each of the boards?" Jirou asked. Mirko nodded.

"Sure thing!" Mirko chirped.

Mirko took both boards as she built them up, adding the two shades of wheels to each board. As she finished Jirou's, she handed it over to the purple-haired girl. Momo seemed unsure if she should wait any longer, but by the time she could make a decision, Mirko had finished her skateboard and gave it to her.

Jirou smiled as she took off her small backpack and pulled out some money which she put on the counter. Momo was surprised to see Jirou had that much, as her rebellious attitude seemed like her parents would be doing something about it.

"Keep the change, we won't need it Mirko!" Jirou chirped. Mirko gave a thumbs up as she put the money in the register, cleaning up her tools.

"No worries! Come again soon!" Mirko called, and the two girls left the skateboard store with their skateboards in hand.

(A/N: For anyone who had trouble visualising the board designs, this is how it looked like! The skateboards but together look like the form a heart shape due to their wave design. I thought it would be cute!)
