Note from Author: Okay...this is my first fic, ever. I know most readers
don't review, because I am one of them, but I would really appreciate it if
you did, good or bad. I really want to know what you think about my work.
BTW: I do not, sadly enough, own Fruits Basket, nor any of it's characters.
THIS IS AN AU FIC!!!!!!!!!!
Tohru slammed her hand on her side table, hoping to have hit the snooze. She missed.
"Noooooo!" She moaned. Her alarm had fallen to the floor, yet again. That was the third time this week.
"Guess now I really have to get up...." The young girl swung her feet over the side of the mattress and stood up. She looked at the alarm clock, still on the floor, and noticed she was twenty minutes late. She cursed under her breath and ran to the bathroom.
"No time for a shower today." She said quietly. "It's okay, I took a bath yesterday." She raked a brush through her messy bed head and hastily brushed her teeth. Tohru rushed into her room and threw on the clothes she had so carefully picked out last night.
"No make-up either." She groaned. It was her first day at the college, and she wanted to look good. After all, she hoped there would be so guys...
"Stupid!" She hit her head with her hands. "No time to think about that now! I have to go!" Tohru ran out the door, grabbing her house keys and her books, headlong into a tall stranger.
"S-so sorry! I'm late!" She glanced at his face and noticed a base- ball hat and a pair of glasses. And a scowl.
"It's fine." He said bluntly.
Tohru took off running down the hall. "I truly apologize! Please forgive me, but I must go!" She raced away, leaving the tall stranger astonished and slightly puzzled.
"Hmmmmmm, she was rather cute." He thought to himself. The stranger walked down the hall to the parking garage and bleeped his car. He got in, started it, and drove off, still thinking about his pretty brown haired neighbor and her apologizes.
Tohru slid into her seat, just as the bell rang. Wow. I made it just in time! She thought to herself. She looked around the room. I'm the oldest one here! She was amazed. She was, after all, only 25. After her couple years off, and after the accident, Tohru had had to work extremely hard to catch up on all the work she had missed. She was lucky she had even gotten in! ((Note: you'll hear about her past later!))
The professor walked in and sat his briefcase down at the desk. "Good morning class," He said in a deep, pleasant voice." Today, we have a new student with us." He glanced down at a sheet. "Miss Honda Tohru. Did I say is right?"
Tohru nodded and stood up. She sat back down and took out her notebook and pen.
"Hello, Miss Tohru. I am Professor Sohma. Today, class, we will be watching a documentary on the Rise and Fall of the Roman Empire. Make sure to take notes."
Oh goodie. Thought Tohru. The Roman Empire. She looked at the clock. Only 41 minutes left.
Well, that was 'fun'. Now my next class. Tohru walked out of class and turned right toward her geography classroom.
Bam! She walked right into a broad chest. Again. For the second time that day. She looked up to see a smiling face.
"So sorry!" He said. "That was my fault. Wasn't paying attention to where I was walking!"
"N-no." She stuttered, "That was me. I was trying to walk and look at my schedule at the same time. I beg your pardon."
He grinned. "Don't worry about it. It was me too. By the way, I'm Yuki Sohma. And you are?"
"I'm Honda Tohru." She held out her hand. "Nice to meet you. Wait, Sohma, like Professor Sohma?"
"Yeah." He replied. "Cousins. Are you a student?"
"Uh-huh." She nodded. "New student."
"Well, the pleasure is all...." A deep voice cut Yuki off.
"Get in here Yuki! We have some thinks to talk about!" Shouted Professor Sohma. Yuki said goodbye and apologized.
"Hope to see you again! Oh, and sorry for keeping you!" Tohru yelled after him and he walked away. Jeez! I really am being a klutz today. But it was really worth it! Tohru rushed off to her next class, hoping not to be late.
