"blah"-talking
blah- Kagome's thoughts
I've never know true love…
Kagome was on the bus holding on to a pole with her bag slung on her arm. With her other arm, she was looking as what seemed like a book. It was actually a book of photographs by her favorite photographer, Yuji. She was wearing her school uniform (an: think sailormoon but notas tight and flashy…).
The morning bus ride was depressing as usual.
There were three guys sitting down just talking. They drifted off to a different subject which was Kagome since one of the guys, whose name is Inuyasha was taking pictures of her.
"Whoa! Busted, heh," said Inuyasha as Kagome turned around.
"Hey, gimme! Lemme see! C'mon!" said Miroku tugging on Inuyasha's arm to get the digital camera from Inuyasha. "Ahh, dude… She ain't nothing. She got thick glasses. That was cruel. You got my hopes up. What you've got there, boys, is your classic, "four eyes." I'm desperate, but not that desperate…"
"When was the last time you heard somebody get called "four eyes"…?" asked the third guy whose name is Shippo. "Who's he talking about?"
"That girl--Kagome Higurashi from Class A. Poor thing. So not cute," replied Miroku.
It wasn't like Kagome was deaf though. She could hear everything they were talking about and yet they talked like she could not.
Well, excuse me for needing glasses! This is why morning commute always sucks. Navigating the stench of everybody's cologne…. Not to mention local geniuses from the boys' school…
Inuyasha looked at Kagome and smiled at her. He received only a look that clearly said that she wanted to be left alone. Unhappy with the response that he got, Inuyasha waved to her. Kagome was shocked to say the least.
JERKS! Just ignore them, Kagome. Try not to make eye contact. Don't give them an opening.
Inuyasha stood up and went over to Kagome. She did not know and he surprised her by talking to her. "So, are you a Yuji fan? He's one of my favorite photographers. I have that book too. It's good right?"
Great… Why? Why is he talking to me? And worse…Why can't I stop blushing!
The bus went to a sudden stop and Kagome stumbled forward. Luckily for her (or unluckily for her), Inuyasha was there to catch her.
"Easy now. I've got you…Wow, you're tiny," said Inuyasha. Kagome could not stop blushing.
"Next stop, Seika Girls' Academy," said the intercom in the bus.
Kagome quickly headed for the door. As she rushed, she dropped her book. Luckily for her, again, Inuyasha picked it up. Unfortunately, as he was trying to give it back to her, he lifted up her skirt during the process by accident. Kagome's eyes went wide. Inuyasha holding his camera in his hand did not help his situation at all.
"Nooo…!" exclaimed Kagome as she smacked him across the face.
"Ow…Ouch…! What was that for--? I was just tryignto give you your book back."
"Pervert!"
Kagome rushed out the door. Leaving Inuyasha puzzled. "Wha…? What did she think…! It was an accident!" said Inuyasha while looking at the glass window.

That was humiliating.
Kagome reached her school. As usual her friend was 'kindly' waiting for her in the classroom.
"Hey, Kagome, I heard some boys form Takashiro were giving you a hard time on the bus…? A girl from Class D told me," said her oh-so-loving friend Kikyo while laughing with the girl who sits next to her. Kikyo was wearing the same uniform as Karin but in a way looked more, oh what's the word I'm looking for? Sluttish? Yeah, that sounds about right.
"Yeah, isn't it ridiculous? Hahaha," said Kagome with a fake smile. Ha…
"You know, if you ditched your dorky glasses… they probably wouldn't give you such a hard time. But, I guess you want something that suits you."
"Kikyo, that's harsh. Haha," said the girl next to her.
"What? It's true. Oh, hey--that reminds me! I need to copy your math homework."
"What? Again?"
"Come on, we're friends, right?"
"No, were not! You only act like we're friends when it's convenient for you! I can see right through you, you stupid ditz!" …Is what I'd really like to say. But I won't.
"You know… one of the guys making fun of Kagome was quite a catch," said one of the girls in the classroom.
"Yeah right! You're kidding! There are a lot of cute boys at that school, huh? Hmm…Okay! I have an idea! I think we should invite the guys from Takashiro to hang out with us in town!"
Kagome had a flashback of what happened earlier on the bus. She obviously did not want to go!
"Karin, how would you like to--"
"I--I'm gonna pass, thanks! I'm not good with stuff like that. I don't think I'd fit in," said a flushed Kagome.
"That's why you should come--!" said Kikyo in a sickeningly sweet voice. "Hey, Sango, why don't you come with us? We're gonna hang out with the boys from Takashiro High."
Sango, who was reading a book, placed her book down and said, "No thanks. I already have a man."
"Huff! Where does she get off!" exclaimed Kikyo. "I was just trying to be nice. Stuck-up bitch! Does she think she's better than us? I can't stand her." A bunch of other girls agreed. Once Kikyo calmed, she said in that sickeningly sweet voice to Kagome, "Oh forget her. Hey, I'm counting on you for your math homework! Oh, I need to copy your notes later too.
I hate my life…This is not going very well… I've never had much ambition, and I was never particularly talented… I studied just enough to keep my parent happy… I applied to a girls' prep school… because I'm uncomfortable around boys. I'm not even sure how I got in. But I've had a hard time making friends here. Kikyo was the first one to talk to me… And lately I've been wondering…
