Momo wasn't a fan of this place. There was too much drama, too much lovey-dovey kissy-poo stuff going on. She knew now why her mother had been so keen on her going, being an alumni and everything, but Momo wasn't buying into the whole 'go to Black Rose, fall in love' bit. So far, no one had caught her attention, and the only thing that she had 'fallen' into was a state of time-wasting depression.
Wearing a black bikini top and a pair of her brother's black and white swimming trunks over her bikini bottom, she stepped barefooted out of the locker room and headed for one of the side pools that branched off of the main pool by means of a small channel towards the back. Her mother had come there when she needed to think; now, twenty years later, Momo just wanted a place where everything was simple, and not a goddamn drama series like the ones her mother watched.
On her way there, she spotted two people talking, and rolled her eyes. Of course there would be people here.......... She took her time getting to where she needed to be, and once she arrived, she slid into the water and sighed. She was far away enough from the people not to hear their chatter. Thank goodness. And the water was nice, too... that was a plus. Too bad I can't spend the rest of the year here, she thought as she closed her eyes. Unless I wanna come home looking like a prune...

Ah, the peace. Submerged in the hot water of the spring, Momo could practically feel her stress melting away. In the distance, a cricket sang its song, and a bird seemed to chirp a reply as it twittered around in the tree just a little ways down the hill. Completely relaxed, the girl closed her eyes and leaned her head back against the cool rock, burying all but her head under the murky water. Maybe it was because of her siren ancestry, but something about being in the water just made her... peaceful...
"Hey! You over there, in the black and white! Hello there. To be honest we are not any love birds smoochin' it up so you have no good reason to completely avoid us! Plus being alone doesn't seem so fun! Feel free to come over here if you want!"
"Gaah...!!" Momo jolted out of the water with a start, exhaling in annoyance and disappointment when she realized her moment of peace was destroyed. By that girl. She sighed, sinking under the water and blowing sulky bubbles as she closed her eyes tiredly. Perfect. She sat up and looked over the edge of the rock, her eyes not quite angry, but more curious, and more than slightly annoyed.
"I never thought you were lovebirds and I'm not avoiding you," she answered, not loudly, but just enough so they could hear her. After all, there was no need to shout when they were only twenty feet apart. "I'm avoiding people in general. And so you know, I like being alone, since when I'm in school, I'm constantly surrounded by screechy, whiny harpies and their failing love affairs."
After that, she didn't say anything, but let herself drift along the water in silence. She began to swim through the shallow pool, her natural instincts taking over as she scurried along the ground and through the channel. Under the water, she could hear the conversation of the other two, and, resurfacing carefully next to Violetta, she shook out her hair and smiled.
"Momo," she said casually, extending her hand. "Nice to meet you."
