Prompt 1: "Sometimes things aren't at all like they feel…" "It is as bad as you think, and they are out to get you."

She stretched her arms over her head, lowering them and standing up from her desk at the same time. There was this nagging kink like itch in her neck that she couldn't get rid of, yet she couldn't find a reason to be concerned. Nothing had been happening in her life since her middle school escapades and she was now in her second year-almost third year of high school. It was inconsistent on time, but she had been continuously having this strange sensation since her first year in high school. However, nothing ever happened when she got it, so she found no reason to concern herself with it. Every day went by easily and with no concern. Period. It was...

Boring.

Walking outside and around the school building to her favorite tree, she hardly noticed the group already present until she was upon them. A quick glance over alerted her that they were not normal. With another glance, she realized they were all staring at her in a mixture of shock, irritation, and...concern?

What the hell?

Quickly, she placed on a fake smile and slowly backed away. "Ano...gomen ne. I'll...be leaving now."

When the shortest male of the group gave her a blank, cold stare that she recognized to a lesser degree of malevolence, she inwardly cringed.

'So this will go one of two ways...I'm screwed.'

He began to approach her and she took that as her cue to spin on her heel and bolt it out of there, feeling rather than seeing them chasing after her.

'Stupid Kagome!'
