Chapter 1:Put on a fake smile and continue on...
I woke up feeling very sore. My arms have painful bruises and my stomach ached from the kick I received from my father the previous night. He had been dangerously intoxicated when I had entered my home earlier that day. Visions of the horrible beating I had received, lingered in my mind.
I shook all thoughts away and started get ready for school. There was no uniform policy. Thankfully I was able to wear anything appropriate to school, so I decided to wear a white shirt that was off the shoulder, but had long sleeves to cover up any bruises on my arms. To accompany the shirt I put on a blue jean skirt that ruffle at the end of it, which reached my mid-thigh and white tennis shoes. I brushed my raven hair down and left it to hang on my creamy pale shoulders. I reviewed myself in my mirror to make sure no wound or bruises could be seen. Thankfully none were visible. Feeling ready, I left for school.
When I arrived at school, I was immediately recognized by everyone and a few close friends approached me.
"Hey Kags!" My very best friend greeted. Her name is Sango. We've known each other since grade school. She, like many 'Popular' people was very pretty. She had long, straight brown hair, lightly tanned skin, and big brown eyes. She always wore magenta eye shadow, and always wore nice fitting clothes because since she was the athletic type, she had a very nice figure.
"Hey San. How was your date with Bankoutsu late night?" I asked. Bankoutsu was very nice, very 'Popular', and very handsome.
"Oh, it was nice. I had a lot of fun!" Sango said.
"What did you guys do?" another one of my close friends asked, entering the conversation. Her name is Ayame. I've known her for a while but not all too long. She is a wolf demoness therefore acquiring all the wolf demoness traits, fangs, and pointy elf like ears, speed, strength, and even her own special ability. She has dark red hair, which she always wears in pigtails, tanned skins, dark green eyes, and she too had a nice figure.
"Well first we went to that new café, which was by the way awesome, than we went to see a movie 'Dead Silence', it was an ok movie, and afterwards we walked through the park. It was actually romantic." Sango said starry eyed.
"Sounds like you had a very nice time" Ayame said than she put on a pout. "I wish Koga would do something romantic for me." That comment made Sango and I laugh.
"Yea right" Sango said sarcastically.
BRIINNG!
The school bell sounded indicating that it was now time to get to class. Sango, Ayame, and I all departed, going to our separate homeroom class. I had Mr. Myoga for Japan History.
When I entered the classroom many of my classmates smiled at me and some asked me to sit by them. I just put on a smile and sat next to a fellow 'Popular'.
His name is Koga. He is a jock, a football player, a nice and handsome guy. The cocky type. He is also Ayame's boyfriend. He is a wolf yokai. He has fangs, power, and very fast speed. He has blue eyes, very tan and nicely built.
"Hey Kagome, how's it going?" He asked me with a very big smile. He had a look in his eyes that I knew all too well, a look of interest. He always did have a 'thing' for me. I just put on a fake smile.
"Things are going good." I lied. "How about you, how are things with Ayame and you?"
"Cool. Everything is cool." He said with a smirk. He was always such a smooth laid back talker.
"That's great. I am very happy for the both of you. Your relationship is so strong." I said. His smirk fell. The teacher than entered the classroom, welcomed us, and then began to write on the blackboard. Class officially began.
