Chapter 1: First Day Back
"Well, There's the bell. I suppose I should get going. I dont want to be late on my first day back," Yumi said aloud as she walked up the steps of Shikon High.
Yumi walks into her homeroom and finds her seat. 'I hope I do better in math this year. I wonder who will be sitting next to me. I hope it's someone interesting,' she thought to herself as she pulled out her notebook.
Just then she notices a handsome new student walk through the door. He was a good bit taller than her, with long black hair that was pulled back in a pony tail, and the most amazing blue eyes. She secretly hoped to herself that the new guy would sit by her. It would be the perfect way to start off an otherwise boring school year.
"Hi," the new guy says as he takes a seat one ahead and in the row next to her. "My name is Kouga."
'YESSS!!!,' squealed Yumi in her head. "Hello, I'm Yumi. It's nice to meet you. Are you new here?"
"Heh. Is it that obvious?" asked Kouga while nervously scratching his head.
"Well, It's just that I've gone to this school for the last two years, and I've never seen you around," said Yumi.
"Oh, well that's good," started Kouga. "I was afraid I had that lost look that people get sometimes."
"No no. You don't seem lost to me," Yumi said.
The teacher walks in. "Alright class. That's enough talking. It's time to get to work. Please open your math books to page 10." stated the teacher sternly.
"Awww maan!" Most of the class grumbled.
"Alright! Lunch time!" Yumi exclaimed with a little too much enthusiasm as the bell rang. "My favortie part of the day! Well, except for dismissal!" Yumi chuckled.
After gathering her food and selecting a good table in the back of the lunchroom, Yumi sat down. She didn't realize the black haired cutie following her.
"Hello again," Kouga said as he sat down next to her.
"h-hi," Yumi stuttered. "You scared me a little. I didn't see you sit down."
"I'm sorry for startling you. I really didnt mean to. How has your day been so far?" asked Kouga.
"Better than I had expected. Well, expect for the ton of math and history homework I have. It should be against the law to assign that much homework on the first day!" Yumi stated with a small hint of annoyance in her voice.
"Yea, tell me about it! I have a bunch of Lit homework too!" Kouga added.
"So how has your first day here been? Have you made many friends?" asked Yumi.
"Yea a few. I met this girl... Kagome I think, and her boyfriend Inu Yasha in my Lit class. She seems nice, but he seemed to have quite a temper on him," Kouga said, laughing a little.
"Yea I know them. Inu Yasha definately has a temper!" giggled Yumi.
"Heh, yea. So Anyway, I was wondering is maybe you wanted to go to the library and work on homework after school?" Kouga asked with a slight smile.
Yumi tried so hard not to grin. "Yea! That'd be awesome!" she replied with excitement.
"Awesome! I'll meet you there after school," said Kouga.
When the bell rang at the end of the day, Yumi almost ran out of class.
"Yumi! Where's the fire?" she heard someone behind her say.
Spinning around, Yumi saw a girl with long raven hair and dark brown eyes.
"Oh, Hey Kagome!" Yumi replied. "I have a study date at the library in a few minutes!"
"Oh really," Kagome said with a bit of curiosity. "Who's the lucky guy?"
"The new guy Kouga," Yumi blushed.
Kagome giggled. "Yea, I've met him. He seems nice. Cute too. Well, Have fun Yumi! Call me and tell me about it tonight, ok?"
"Alright Kagome. Talk to you later!" Yumi turned around and half sprinted down the hall.
Kagome laughed at the sight of her friend running through the crowds of people in the halls. 'Good for her! She deserves a nice guy!' Kagome though to herself.
When Yumi got home that afternoon, her mother asked her where she'd been.
"Sorry mom, I guess I forgot to call you in all of the excitement," Yumi admitted. "I met a friend at the library after school. Don't worry about my homework, Mom! I finished it there!" Yumi said while running up the stairs to her room.
She walked into her room, threw her bookbag across the room, and colapsed onto her bed. "Oh! I have to call Kagome!" she said to herself, remembering their conversation in the hall after school.
Kagome had barely got a word out of her mouth when Yumi started to excitedly tell her about the events at the library.
"Kouga waited for me outside the library, and he smiled at me when i walked up, and he opened the door for me, and he..."
"Whoa, Yumi. Slow down," Kagome laughed at her excited friend.
"Sorry," Yumi apoligized, a little red and out of breath. "Kouga was a gentleman. He's very sweet, and he even helped me figure out a few math problems I was having trouble with."
"Well that was definately nice of him," Kagome added.
"Oh and you'll never guess! After we finished our homework, he brought me home. The boy drives a convertable!" exclaimed Yumi.
"Wow! So I guess he must be rich?" asked Kagome.
"I suppose. He didnt really say, but he did ask me if I wanted to go to a movie with him this weekend!" Yumi had a big smile on her face.
"That's great Yumi! I'm happy for you! Keep me updated, ok?" Kagome was excited for Yumi.
"Ok, sure! I will. I'll talk to you at school tomorrow, ok?" said Yumi.
"Alright, Bye." replied Kagome.
After she hung up the phone, Yumi closed her eyes and sighed.
