Okay! So I haven't worked on another story other than my Cardcaptor's one in sooo long so hopefully this turns out alright. And btw, if you like Cardcaptors, check out my Opposite Attract *wink*
Here goes!
As Kagome woke to the annoying beeping of her alarm clock, she groaned uncharacteristically.
"Uggh, oh my gawwd, I don't wanna go to school," she whined just as her mother banged on her door,
"Kagome, it's your first day of grade 10! Aren't you excited?!" she screamed as she barged in and ripped the covers off her daughter. Kagome rubbed her chocolate brown eyes as she stumbled out of bed, pulling her blue plaid pyjama shirt down over her stomach.
"Mom, can't you give me a less rude awakening?" she asked as her mother walked over to her dresser;
"I could, but it's not as fun that way," Noriko ((I've named Kag's mother Noriko. Got a problem with that?)) winked at her daughter and pulled her favourite of Kagome's shirts out. "You just have to wear this one, it looks great on you!" she suggested; Kagome eyed the blue silky blouse, but shook her head,
"Have you any idea how much everyone would laugh at me if I wore that?" she demanded. Noriko gasped and looked at the blouse,
"Hey, I know I'm in with the times, but this is a very nice shirt for girls your age, isn't it?" she asked, flapping the blouse around. Kagome sighed and looked at the shirt again; it was a very nice shirt, and would look fine on any other girl. But not Kagome.
"No, it's really old-fashioned," she lied and stuffed it back
in her dresser; Noriko sighed and headed for the door,
"Well,
your breakfast is on the table when you're ready," she sounded
discouraged but smiled nonetheless as she left the room. Kagome
rolled her eyes as she pulled a light pink, knitted sweater from her
closet along with a black khaki skirt and pulled them on. She stared
at herself in the mirror, and then sighed; I'll never be able to
be fashionable. It's impossible for me; she thought to herself
and headed down for breakfast.
When she got to school, Kagome pulled at her raven hair, twisting round and round her finger as she looked up at the sinister looking building; actually, it was a perfectly fine looking school. Kagome just hated school. She pulled her hair back into a tight bun at the nape of her neck and stalked up to the front doors. She entered the school and immediately shrunk into the shadows, trying her best not to be seen. She didn't look at the groups of girls gossiping and showing off their expensive manicures, or at the crowds of guys searching every girl who passed them up and down. She found her first class and sat in the front right desk and waited for the class to start.
Her first class was Japanese, but it wasn't much of a class, considering it was the first day. The students were assigned their textbooks and lockers, and then pretty much had the rest of the class to talk. After class Kagome quickly found her locker and stuffed her bag in it, closed and locked the door. She turned to walk away but was suddenly pushed back by some physical force. She gasped as the wind was knocked from her lungs and looked up into the most beautiful eyes she had ever seen. Amber orbs stared down at her and she quickly looked away,
"I'm sorry, I wasn't looking ahead of me," she mumbled and went to walk away, but a hand wrapped itself around her thin wrist. She looked back into those eyes and whimpered silently to herself, Please don't kill me.
"Is this your locker?" the guy asked, and only then did Kagome notice his flowing silver hair and dog ears- Oh God, a hanyou. I'm as good as dead.
"U-um, yes," she replied and the guy looked up at the locker number,
"Oh, I thought it was mine," he said, letting go her of wrist but blocking her from running; "do you know if the one beside it is taken?" he turned back to her and she flinched.
"Um, there's no lock on it, so it shouldn't be taken," she said quietly without looking at him and he stared at her, and then chuckled.
"Yeah, I guess you're right. Sorry," he said and let her pass. Kagome quickly scampered away to her next class, Gym, unfortunately, with her heart pounding. He was so handsome, and a hanyou at that…he must be the famous Inuyasha…I never got a chance to see him last year, she thought to herself as she changed into her Gym uniform. She walked out into the Gym and slumped her shoulders; great, they were in her class. The most popular -and cruel- girls in her grade. Kikyo, the leader, instantly knew Kagome was there; they the weirdest connection and always knew the other was there. The reason, or so Kagome believed, was because Kikyo was her half-sister- the daughter of Kagome's father's mistress, and her personal bully. Kikyo smirked as Kagome shrunk even more, looking away from her tormentor.
"Well, well, Higurashi. So you're in this class too," Kikyo said icily and Kagome nodded; "Well I certainly hope you don't plan on showing off, just to try to embarrass me," she continued and Kagome shook her head.
"No, I would never want to show off," she denied softly and Kikyo giggled,
"Of course not, since you know I can beat you in anything you do," she said just as the teacher blew the whistle. Kikyo and her clique slinked away and Kagome shivered. Kagome was surprisingly good at athletics, but was somehow doomed to always be in Kikyo's gym classes, and had her talents suppressed. Kikyo was also good, but not as good as Kagome; of course Kikyo didn't like this, and refused to let Kagome show her athleticism without a beat down later.
As the day wore on, Kagome's
spirits dampened as he found out that Kikyo was in two of her
classes- English and Politics, while that scary hanyou was in all but
her Japanese and Gym. In Math Kagome sat in the seat she always
chose- front right- when a girl sat confidently beside her. Kagome
peeked over at the girl to see she had long, dark brown hair tied in
a loose pony and hazel eyes; she was pretty, so why was she sitting
in the front row? All the good-looking people sat near the back so
could be left alone by the teachers. The girl turned her head and
smiled at Kagome; Kagome lifter the right side of her mouth in a
nervous smile.
"Hi, I'm Sango," she said and Kagome almost
coughed, she wasn't expecting an introduction. Didn't this girl
know who she was?
"Um, I'm Kagome," she replied and looked warily around; Kikyo wasn't in this class, but one of her clique friends was- Kagura. Kagura sat near the back filing her nails, pretending not to pay any attention, but Kagome knew better.
"Nice to meet you Kagome. I just moved here this summer, so I'm new," the girl, Sango, beamed at Kagome, who suddenly felt guilty. Sango frowned as Kagome looked away.
"You shouldn't talk to me, then, if you plan on getting friends," Kagome whispered and expected the conversation to be over, but was sorely mistaken;
"Why? Are you being bullied?" Sango asked innocently and Kagome stared at her incredulously. Was she dense? Slow in any way? Mentally challenged? Who in their right mind says it so bluntly like that? Kagome sighed, covering her face with her hands. Just then the teacher interrupted them with their first lesson on classroom rules.
After class Sango ran up to Kagome. Who walked surprisingly fast for a girl her size;
"Hey look, I'm sorry if I hurt your feelings, but I was just asking what meant by that," she went on just as bluntly, and Kagome sighed.
"Okay, seriously. No one at this school in their right mind ever talks to me, okay?" Kagome stopped to emphasize; "I guess you could say I'm bullied, but it's more like I'm suppressed. And you will be too if she finds out you're talking to me," she turned and started to walk away but Sango followed closely behind.
"You mean I'd be shunned just for talking to you?"
"Yes,"
"Why?"
"Because the queen of the school hates me," Kagome groaned as she arrived at her locker only to see that Inuyasha was there. He didn't notice her so she quickly opened her locker and took her things.
"Well I don't care, you seem like a nice person to me," Sango went on as Kagome kept walking for the front doors, covering her face with her hair from Inuyasha. "I mean, I talk to whoever I wanna talk to, and if people don't like, then screw 'em!" she said triumphantly, still following Kagome outside. Kagome stopped abruptly and turned on her.
"Well I'd rather not ruin anyone's high school lives, and you better go back and retrieve your things before going home," she whispered and then turned and walked swiftly to the bus stop on her way home.
Okay! So that was just a short intro to the situation, I guess. I hope you liked it, please R&R!
