Summary: Kagome Higurashi was known for being the "fat girl" in her school. She's in love with Inuyasha, but Inuyasha loves Kikyo. A story of what Kagome goes through everyday while Inuyasha is busy scheduling dates with the cause of Kagome's suffering. Will Inuyasha realize what Kikyo is really like, or will Kagome never get her happy ending?
Disclaimer: I own nothing. This story is not fat-shaming anyone, neither is it supporting bullying in the slightest.
This story is inspired by an anonymous confession I read once on an Instagram page. I meant to put it here but it just slipped my mind- that was my bad.
"Kagome!"
I turned around to see my best friend, Inuyasha, run at me before clobbering me in a huge bear hug.
"Hey," I said softly. "How was your summer?"
He grinned at me before saying, "Eh, it was alright. I went to the beach a couple times, went grocery shopping with my mom" - he made a face, which I giggled a little at - "and… yeah, that's pretty much it."
"Mine was kinda boring," I said. "Though I did work out a little. But my summer was packed."
He laughed a little, I laughed with him, and we proceeded to talk about what we had planned for the rest of the school year, like we always do.
Okay, here's some backstory - I've never been the… well, the skinniest girl. I'm still not. And I'm okay with that. Inuyasha, during the long thirteen years we've been best friends, taught me to love myself before loving anybody else.
And that's why I've fallen in love with him.
It's not his looks that I'm obsessing over (though he is pretty hot, I'll admit that). It's his personality that really gets to me.
Too bad he's already got his eyes on someone else.
Kikyo Sanada walked past, a bright smile adorning her features. Inuyasha grinned at her, making her grin back and blush a little. But when she turned and saw me there with him, she sent me a cold glare.
See, Kikyo and I had never been the best of friends, and because of what she had done and said to me for the past few years, I was planning to keep it that way.
The little bitch in designer clothing had spread rumors about me, and had potentially ruined me and scarred me for life.
How Inuyasha didn't know about this, I have no idea. Not once had he come up to me and said, "I heard what Kikyo them were saying about you. Are you okay?" No. Not once.
Or maybe he did know, he was just too infatuated with the Queen herself that he didn't really pay close attention to how she really was.
At the time, it hurt too much to realize that he had already fallen in love with her, so I was pretty much the third wheel for a year or two. I've watched them together and felt my heart shatter into a million pieces every time he shoots her a dazzling grin. Every single stupid time.
I wanted him to smile at me that way. I wanted him to love me that way.
But I knew it would never happen.
After all, who could ever love the fat, ugly, nerdy girl?
