Feeling Unappreciated

Chapter 1: The Beginning of it All

This is a true story that's happening in my life right now. Every word that you will read is true. I just feel like I need to talk about it: How tough a girls first love is…. Enjoy.

"OK girls. This is our last home game of the season, and I know it's against our biggest threat out there but LET'S MAKE THIS ONE COUNT!!!! NOW ON THREE:"

"1!"

"2!"

"3!"

"LADY COUGARS!!!!!" Screamed the Nimitz H.S. varsity volleyball team.

An hour later…

Kagome's POV

"I'm very proud at the way you played your last home game girls. Even though we lost this game we still have a chance at going to state! But we have to beat Springwoods and Ike. I have faith in you girls. Now see ya'll Thursday (Today is Tuesday we get Wednesday off) 3'oclock sharp for practice." Our coach said sternly.

"Mann, how can coach say she's proud of that? I mean we could have kicked their ass! I know we got this! Uhhh… You did do great though Kag! I'm sure you'll get a scholarship to A&M for this if not softball." Said my best friend Sango. She's always been so negative for as long as I've known her. Which has only been for exactly 1 year and 2 months. Since that first day we've meet we've been inseparable. She's like the sister I've never had! I'm glad I got to know her; we've been able to heal each other from our past.

Last year I went into the 9th grade with no friends. It's not because I was/am antisocial! Actually, I'm the very opposite. I had just lost all the people I thought were my true friends cause of a stupid rumor! Ya know that he said she said thing? Ya. That. I hate it!

You see, I was supposed to go spend the night at my 'best friends' (they were twins) house one night when my dad got a call from my uncle saying he needed help with his car. So my parents said I had to go with them. Not knowing how long it was going to take they told me to call my 'best friends' and reschedule. Well when I told them the bad news they just blew up! I understood why they were mad but I never thought that when I walked through my school's doors heads would turn to give me nasty looks. To this day I still don't know what the rumor was. Not like I care but like I said, no one talked to me. It taut me not to trust people so easily though. But when I meet Sango… I felt that I just could.

Her story is different though. She never got along with her parents. So she got into the smoking weed and poppin' bars in 6th grade. Her mom's a police for the school and caught her and her friends in the back of the school bared out and high. (The way she explained it I'd say the highest!) Well about a week later her parents sent her to Boot Camp. A year later (8th grade) she made some new friends and still had the same old ones. They still smoked and did bars but Sango didn't smoke no more. She did do bars every now and then though. But till she met me last year at volleyball try outs…. She never did it again. (She tells me I have an affect on people that makes them always wanna be around me and not do anything stupid that they will never remember what we did.)

"Sango! You know you're just as good as everyone says I am! Your gonna get a scholarship to A&M too! I hate it when you compare yourself with me! It makes me feel… I don't know! I just don't like it!" I pouted at her as she threw her arm around my shoulders laughing all the way to the locker room.

In the locker room

"You know, you should really get used to people telling you your doing good because your our captain! And must I remind you… you're only a sophomore!!!! You know that some of the seniors didn't like that you're the captain until after or even during our first game! My God I'm so jealous of you when it comes to sports Kag! I can't say bout guys though… you haven't had a boyfriend since that Jose dude last year! And you only got with him cause he was hot. We need to find you a good sturdy guy Kag…. No joke." Sango said from the mirror touching up her make-up before going out to eat.

"Says the girl who has a perfectly good guy that she's gonna break up with for her good for nothing ex-boyfriend that cheated no her. Twice!!! He's lucky I didn't know you or him back then. Some times I don't know what your thinking…." I said from the mirror too.

"giggle It's all the brain cells I lost from the weed. Come on. Let's go see my 'wonderful', but perverted boyfriend." Saying this we locked arms.

When we were half way down the hall way I noticed this really good looking guy walking toward us. I noticed he was looking down messin' with his cell phone so I took the chance to check him out. He was sportin' some dark Sean John jeans with lime green stitching. Along with a tan, brown, lime green and orange stripped Sean John shirt with the lime green and orange stripes being the thinnest. On his feet were some dark brown and tan Pumas. I could tell he liked to always look good and he was clearly workin' it! On the other hand, I was wearin' some faded jeans from Hollister with the slits and holes all down my legs and a yellow and white thin stripped spaghetti strap shirt. On my feet were some white heels. I guess I looked good cause when he noticed us I saw him check both us out but did a double take at me. When he got to my face he held my eyes for a moment before he looked back down at his cell phone. I looked away too and blushed. Sango much have noticed cause she cleared her throat, looked at me, winked then turned to him and said….

"Like what you see in my friend or what?" I wanted to scream and beat the shit outa her!!!

He smiled and replied, "Maybe I do. But what's it to you?"

She smirked, "O nothing really but to her…" She pushed me closer to him, "it might be every thing. Don't take long I'm hungry and meet me by the car." She said giving me another wink.

"Nice friend you got there. Kinda forward but I don't mind." He said looking at me.

"Ya…. She doesn't care what type of impression she makes. Anyways… Name's Kagome, friend's call me Kag."

"Inuyasha. I would stay and chat some more but we both gotta go so here, put your number in." He said handing me his phone as I gave him mine.

"Just to let ya know I aint got a girlfriend. You?"

"No. I'm straight."

He smiled, "That's not what I ment…"

"I know but if you really wanna know you'll give me a call." I said giving him his phone back and getting mine before walking away. I herd him chuckle alittle before I walked out the door.

As I turned the corner I saw Sango and her boyfriend Miroku leaning against his car smirking at me. (After every game we go out to eat some where. It's like a tradition. And Miroku is a junior while Sango and I are sophomores so he drives us around.)

"What the fuck was that Sango?"

"Aww come on don't be mad! I told you, you needed to get a boyfriend! And look, now you're talking to some one! Plus, I saw ya'll checkin' each other out so instead of lettin' this pass us—I mean pass you up I stepped in since it looked like neither of you were goin' to say anything."

"Just cause we exchanged numbers don't mean we're talking." I said gettin' in the back seat of the car.

"O so you got the digits! Go Kag! What's his name?"

"Inuyasha."

"So you gonna play hard to get or what?"

"Is there any other way to play? giggle He said 'Just to let ya know I don't got a girlfriend. You?' I said 'No. I'm straight.' He smiled then said 'That's not what I ment….' I said 'I know but if you really wanna know you'll give me a call.' Then I walked away."

"Get it Kag!" Miroku said finally joining the conversation probably feeling left out.

Sango and I just looked at each other and laughed. I was starting to feel bad for the dude though cause pretty soon Sango was gonna break up with him and then once she notices her mistake she's gonna so back to him. I'll give her 1 month for her to break down after she dumps him. sigh I know her all to well…

I hoped ya'll liked my first chapter of my very first story! I can't tell you if the chapters will be longer but I will say there will be a lot! (I don't own any character's in this story!!!!)

Incase you haven't figured it out already Kagome is me, Sango is my best friend Alex, Miroku is Alex's boyfriend Paul, and Inuyasha is my boyfriend Zack. After every chapter I will tell you who each character is in my life. Everyone will probably be OOC. (Out of Character)
