"Hi, Kagome!" various people said to me as I walked through the halls to my locker. I smiled back in return. In this big school, not everyone knew everybody but I knew everyone and am friends with everyone as well. I always looked for the best in people and that's why I get along with everyone. I'm also President of the 10th grade which also helps me know everyone because it's my job.

On my way to my locker I greeted everyone with a smile or a small smile. I was almost to my locker when one face stood out from the rest. It was a strange face, a new face, one that didn't belong here. It was a male who I took as a hanyou from the dog ears and claws. His face looked pain and drifting. He strayed away from everyone else, not making eye contact with anyone if he could help it. There was no one around him, no one noticing him.

I shook my head, thinking that my assumption was just because he was new. I approached him with a bright smile on my face as I straightened out my light green shirt and jeans.

"Hi. I'm Kagome," I greeted him, holding my hand out to shake his.

He didn't so much as look up. My face fell.

"Hi. I'm Kagome," I said again.

This time he looked up. He stared at me with a strange look on his face. It was a look of confusion, almost like he was wondering if it was really him I was talking to. I smiled up at him since he was a good amount taller than I was.

"What's your name?" I asked him politely.

He scowled at me as he turned back to getting his stuff in and out of his locker. I sighed at his persistence towards ignoring me.

"Um…So, you're new here, huh?" I asked, already knowing the answer.

He continued to ignore me and I continued to try to get him to talk to me.

"Well, would you like me to show you around or something?" I asked, nicely.

He looked at me once more before slamming his locker closed and walking away towards, what I assumed was his homeroom.

"Well, I'll see you around," I called after him, refusing to let his ignorance get to me.

I went to my locker and got the things I would need for the first couple classes and put the stuff I didn't need on the shelves in my locker. After I got my things I headed towards my homeroom. I entered the class a couple seconds before the bell rang. I took the only open seat and smile as I saw who I was sitting next to: the new kid.

"Hi," I greeted him again.

He gave me an angry look then quickly turned back to face the front of the room. I sighed as I took out my notebook and a pencil and started doodling random things on the cover.

The teacher came in a few minutes after the bell, obviously not used to being back in school just like the rest of us. She told us her name which was also clearly printed on our schedules and went through her rules like every other teacher would be doing today.

I glanced over at the guy sitting next to me after several minutes to see if he still had that angry look on his face. He did. I tried to think of reasons why he would hate me already but I drew a huge blank as to why he could already hate a person he didn't know anything about.

I looked at his desk and noticed he had his schedule laying next to his arm on the side closest to me. I read of his classes and then looked at my own schedule. I smiled as I realized we had all of the same classes except for one. I had choir where as he had gym for 6th period. I was glad that we had almost all of our classes together, hoping that that would give me some extra time to try to get to know him and to get that angered look off his face.

Several periods had past already and I had made no progress with the new kid. I didn't even know so much as his name. Finally, the bell rang for our lunch period and everyone quickly hurried out of the class room, eager to go to lunch where they could openly talk to their friends without getting yelled at by teachers.

I stood up and gathered the few things I had and then walked up to the new kid who was just leaving the class. I jogged to catch up to him and soon fell into step beside him.

"Wanna eat lunch with me?" I asked him.

I heard a small sigh escape his lips. He moved his long silver hair and turned to look at me, stopping dead in his tracks. I, too, stopped.

"Why do you insist on talking to me?" he asked with a snarl.

"Because I was trying to be friendly is all," I told him, a smile still on my face even through his nasty tone towards me.

"Well, why don't you try to be friendly towards someone else?"

I gave him a confused look. His eyes held many emotions and some of them bothered me.

"Because I want to get to know you. I know everyone else and you're knew here so-" I was cut off by his gruff voice.

"Don't waste your time."

And with that he walked quickly towards the cafeteria. I stared after him with a confused look still on my face. There was something about him that told me not to give up and I was going to do just that.

The bell rang, breaking me out of my thoughts as I hurried to lunch. When I got into the cafeteria I looked around for the new kid and found him sitting in one of the tables in the corner…all alone like he was this morning.

I got into the lunch line and quickly got my food. After I paid for it I wandered over to his table and sat down across from him without a word. I saw him look up with a strange look on his face.

"Why are you sitting there?" he asked in the same tone as before.

I shrugged.

"You're getting on my nerves," he snarled out as he glared at me.

I looked up at him with a look of determination on my face.

"What's wrong with you? I'm trying to be nice and trying to get to know you and you won't do anything but glare at me and give me dirty looks."

"Maybe I don't want you to try and get to know me. Maybe I don't want you to try and be nice either!" he growled.

"Even more reason for me to try," I said with a smile.

With one last growl and a glare he got up and stormed out of the cafeteria. I smirked. I was going to get to know him and he was going to let me. He was obviously hiding something and I was going to figure out what.

So, what do you guys think? Let me know if you want me to continue or not.
