Breaking Barriers
Introduction
"Hey, how was your summer?" asked my best friend Kagome as we were walking into the school building.
"Good, I guess, nothing exciting happened." I say as I slam my locker door. Kagome sighs; she says I always expect something exciting to happen and that it makes my life boring to get my expectations so high.
"If you keep expecting something exciting to happen then you will always be disappointed when nothing actually happens." See what I mean.
I sigh, "But nothing ever happens in this town. I want excitement! I always have to do what mommy and daddy say which makes my life a drag." Kagome rolled her eyes at me and we walk to our first period class.
"Sesshomaru wake up its time for your first day at your new school!" My dad started rocking me until I fell off the bed.
"Why do I have to go to this school again? Why can't I just start working I'm not good at school." I asked as I rolled out of bed and started to find something clean to wear out of all the clothes on my floor.
"You'll thank me later, I wish my father had made me finish high school. My old man kicked me out when I turned 16 and told me to find my own way, now aren't you glad you have such a nice dad?" By the time dad was done with his monolog I had found my clothes and started to walk to the bathroom down the hall. "Whatever dad. Just leave me alone and let me get dressed for school." I said as I slammed the bathroom door on his smiling face.
When I finally came out of the bathroom five minutes later my dad was still standing there smiling. I glared and asked, "What do you want? It's too early to be this happy!"
Dad smiled and said, "Have a good day son!" I rolled my eyes and started to walk down the stairs, dad followed me the whole time. At the door, I took my lunch bag and glared at my, still smiling, father.
"What?" I asked as I continued to glare at his smiling face.
"Remember! NO more fighting! Don't get kicked out of school again. We'll just move and start this whole process over again." I rolled my eyes again and walked out to my motorcycle.
But dad had one more piece of fatherly advice, "Son." I turned around "And don't forget to fall in love!" I sighed and started my bike.
"So, what did you guys do this summer? I went to Wisconsin to visit my cousins!" gushed the girls who sat behind Kagome and me. I rolled my eyes; what fun going to WISCONSIN! the land of cheese oh God how fun! I was just about to make my observation to Kagome when the teacher walked and began to speak.
"Welcome to the new term! I'm your teacher Mrs. Miles. I hope we will have a wonderful year together and that we will all be able to learn a lot from each other!" I couldn't help but think that she spoke in all exclamation marks.
"Now let's all turn to page 6 an-" but she didn't get to finish her sentence at that time because someone walked through the door. A tall, dark someone. Someone who, from then on, changed my life in a very unexpected way.
