Alone No More
My name is Sheri-Lynn Holder, I am 17 years old and my dad is the senior partner of a law firm call Lawler and Holder. It is the biggest law firm in California and one of the most successful. So normally it is just me alone at my house meant for five. My mom and brothers were killed in a car crash, they were hit by a drunk driver. My dad is always at work or in another state and even on the unlucky days he is in another country. I wish that I got the chance to get to know my father I was always told he was an amazing guy. My mom was head over heels in love with him since their high school years. I go to Heppner High School it is a very small school, with about a total of 300 students in 7-12 grade.
It was my first day of my senior year and I could not have been more excited. I got to see all my friends got to get a new class schedule plus I WAS A SENIOR….that was probably the best thing out of the whole ordeal. I got out of bed, showered, brushed my hair shoulder length brown wavy hair, put in my contacts, brushed my teeth, did my makeup and dressed in semi tight blue jeans with black rhinestones on the back and front pockets, I also had on a camo see through shirt with a peace sign on the front with a blank tank top under it. After that was done I but on my black and pink Airwalks and was ready to head out the door with my backpack in hand.
I got on the bus at about 7:30, it was as noisy as ever. I had to ride the bus because I lived 10 miles away in a different town, but my best friend also rides it so I didn't really care. I have my licenses but no car and I was never too worried about not having a car and neither were my friends.
When I got on the bus I looked straight at Kagome and smiled, pushing her over. I sat next to her. Behind us was our friends Celeste, and her boyfriend Koga, in front of us, Sango and her boyfriend Miroku, we were all 17 and 18. To our right were what we considered our little siblings Shippo and Rin, they were both about 10. No one ever messed with them on the bus or at school because last time someone did Koga and I got suspended because we beat up a couple sophomores in our junior year. Well they made Rin cry and that was the straw that broke the camel's back. The news traveled fast in the school so no one ever tried to do it again.
Finally after a 45 minute bus ride we pulled up at the school we were all laughing and joking. Being seniors we walked through the school like we owned it. Down the hall to the office it was me in middle, Faith to my right, Kagome to my left, Sango to her left, and Miroku was walking behind Sango and Koga behind Celeste. Rin and Shippo go to the elementary school that is right across the football field so we never really see them.
I got my schedule and the first thing we did as always was compare, we all had someone one in each of our classes which we were ecstatic about. We were walking to our lockers and that is when I noticed there were two new kids. I looked at them the tallest on was in a black hoody hood up and had black baggy jeans and looked gothic. The other was in a red hoody hood also up and dark baggy blue jeans. They both had pretty long silver hair. I nudged Kagome, "they must have greyed very early", and she turned her head to look at them.
"Be nice, they must be new lets introduce ourselves before the preppy group get their claws into them."
"Fine, party pooper."
I skipped over to where they were standing by a locker.
"Hiya, I'm Sheri this is my chicka, Kagome, so you must be new here," I smirked. Out of the corner of my eye I saw Kagome blush when she looked at the dude in the red hoody. *evil laugh* I might have to do something about that.
"Hi, I am Inuyasha and this is my older brother, Sesshomaru. Yeah, we're new here we transferred from Japan."
"Why did you go and do something like that? Japan sounds so cool, plus how did you end up here in the hell hole?"
"We were sent to live with our aunt. Why is it a hell hole?"
"Well it isn't that bad it is just small and not many new people come here. You sure are a quiet one aren't you?" The tallest boy who had yet to speak looked at me and just nodded a slight yes.
"Well, let me see your schedules we'll show you how this school runs." I compared schedules and someone from our group had the same classes as them. As luck would have it Kagome and I had the same first periods as them, math. YUCK!
I linked my arm with the quiet one, he stiffened at the contact and looked at me with a frightened and nervous look in his eye.
"Don't worry, I'm not going to rape you. You are just way to quiet," Kagome and Inuyasha chuckled at the look on Sesshomaru's face. As we were walking we saw the preps they stopped us in the hall. Within seconds Celeste, Sango, Miroku and Koga joined our side.
"Who are the new kids, they are kind of cute," Brittany, the leader of the preps, said. I felt Sesshomaru stiffen more.
"Shut up, Brittany, and leave them alone they wouldn't want anything to do with your ugly face anyways."
"Oh, bitch, please I am a hell of a lot hotter than any of you."
"Oh yeah, that is why our arms are linked with the "hot" new boys and not you right?"
"You only got to them first, they would have been with me if you haven't."
By this time Inuyasha and Sesshomaru were lost. The bell rang and we headed to class with arms still linked but Kagome's was now linked with mine so we took up the whole hall.
"We'll introduce you after first to the new 'hot' boys," the rest of them nodded.
We walked into the math class and sat in the back of the class. There were tables that sat four so it worked out perfectly. Without noticing our arms were still linked. As the kids walked in they all looked at us. The teacher Mr. Morgan walked in right at 9 A.M.
"Class turn to the front and quiet down. We have two new students well you introduce yourselves?" Sesshomaru stiffened and looked very uneasy, I whispered to him, "I got this don't worry." He nodded in thanks.
Kagome and I jumped up dragging the boys with us. I started talking, "this one in the black hoody that doesn't talk is Sesshomaru. He is from Japan living with his aunt and this is his little brother, Inuyasha."
Inuyasha spoke, "As the chick over there said, I'm Inuyasha from Japan and live with my aunt I'm 17 and like hanging out and listening to music."
Kagome and I spotted a prep winking at them in the second row and unknowingly scooted closer to Sesshomaru and Kagome to Inuyasha. The boys looked at us. In reality Kagome and I were not intimidating until you saw our personality. I mean, I am 5'2 and I am curvy but not what you would call fat and Kagome is 5'4 and skinny.
The teacher nodded and we dragged the boys back to our desk.
Sesshomaru whispered, "Will you please let go of my arm I need to write, if you don't mind." It wasn't sarcastic either it seemed very polite.
I jumped without thinking screamed, "OH MY GOD, HE SPOKE!"
The teacher and the whole class looked at me. "That is nice, Ms. Holder, but if you don't mind I would like to continue with my lecture."
I nodded, this didn't embarrass me I was used to doing this kind of stuff. Sesshomaru, on the other hand, slid down into his seat his hands in his pockets.
After math was over Kagome groaned, "Math homework on the first day don't they realize we suck at this stuff?"
"I know right I need a tutor already who needs to use a freaking imaginary numbers in math?"
"If you want Sesshomaru and I could help you guys." Sesshomaru just looked at him.
"Really?!" I looked at Sesshomaru, he simply nodded.
I was jumping and hugged him. The issue with that was Sesshomaru and Inuyasha were both over 6 foot. So I was hugging his waist. Kagome was hugging and jumping on Inuyasha. The rest of our group walked up while we were being all PDA-ish with the two new guys.
"So hooking up all ready, your whore?" I turned fast, thinking it was a prep, I was ready to swing but then I realized it was just Koga.
"You almost got your ass kicked, man, and if I wish to snuggle up with Maru so be it. Anyway, I need you guys to hang out with these two if you have classes with them. Saving them from the preps is our first goal and trust me they will be after them, they are hot and foreign. Well, Sesshomaru and Inuyasha, this is Celeste, her boyfriend Koga, Sango, and her boyfriend, Miroku."
The day went through, it was lunch time, and I found Sesshomaru and Inuyasha and linked my arms with both of them and headed to the lunch room. I didn't even look and dragged them to the table where everyone was waiting for us. Before we got to the table Brittany and her boyfriend, Naraku, stood in our way.
"Move, before I make you."
"How are you going to make us? It seems the stupid transfers have chosen to hang out with you so I guess we'll have to introduce them to how our school works."
"Don't you dare, they didn't do anything, and you don't need to start a fight."
"Aw, is the little girl scared we'll kick their asses?"
"Hell no, I bet they could take you, but they don't need this on their first day."
Without another word, Naraku jumped at Inuyasha and within a blink of an eye Sesshomaru was in front of him and had Naraku's hand in his fist and was squeezing we heard two pops and Naraku's screams. My eyes widened, he is quick, scary and HOT. I had to interfere before a teacher came.
I walked behind Sesshomaru, put my hand on his arm, and whispered, "You need to let him go before a teacher shows, please Maru."
He turned his head and looked at me and nodded. Letting go of Naraku's hand, I led Sesshomaru by the arm to our table, Kagome was holding onto Inuyasha and followed us.
We all sat down, "Hiya, lovers, great first lunch right?"
They nodded, looking at Sesshomaru, both boys still had their hood over their heads, and well it made him seem scary.
"Stop looking at him like he is a murder or crazy person."
I felt Sesshomaru stiffen I turned and smiled at him and linked arms again, he seemed to calm him a little.
"So, does he ever talk?" Koga asked, I glared at him.
"Yes, he talks, stop being a douche!"
"Sorry, jeeze, someone is defensive for the new kid."
"Koga, I am going to kick your ass."
"Bring it, bitch."
By this time we were out in the field and I jumped on him and we were play fighting and wrestling.
"OUCH! You just bit me!" Koga screamed.
"You bet your ass, you hit my boob."
"Not like I meant to."
I sat up after our fight, I had a bruise on my arm, but he was bleeding on his arm from where I bit him and a bruise on his leg. Sesshomaru was looking at us weirdly and so was Inuyasha.
"Don't look at me like that, I am not crazy. I am mentally unstable." Inuyasha's eyes grew like to times their size.
Kagome whispered, "She is joking."
In response she got an "oh."
The bell rang and we headed to our classes to finish out the day.
"So when do you want to tutor us?" I asked as I leaned against the lockers.
"Tomorrow work? We have to talk to our aunt." Inuyasha said.
"Yep, sounds great here is my number, you guys should text us, because it is a long bus ride for us." I hugged Sesshomaru and Inuyasha, and Kagome just hugged Inuyasha and we boarded the bus headed for home.
That ended the first day of my senior year.
