I slowly opened my eyes. The light from the window was so bright. I glanced over to the clock. SHIT! It was already 6:45! I rushed out of bed. I had 45 minutes to get ready and then go to school. I ran to the shower. I dove into the shower and got out in ten minutes flat. I dried off and then I did my hair. I looked at my watch. DAMN! I had twenty-five minutes left! Quickly I put on my makeup then I ran into the kitchen. Grabbing a pop-tart I got my backpack and then made a dash for my car.
My car was a 15th birthday present from my parents. It was a dark purple convertible with red decals. I loved it, it was my baby. Now I had fifteen minutes to drive to school, that was good enough. As I was speeding down route 64 I realized that today was the day Inuyasha was coming back. I hadn't seen him since 8th grade. He should be surprised. I've changed a lot in three years (I'm 16 now).
I pulled up to the school while honking to my best friend, Sango (Song for short). She looked up and waved. I got out and ran to her. She's been my friend since 7th grade when we met. Okay, she's my best friend. She had also changed a lot.
Both Song and I had always been in a style median. Never too bold, never too quiet, except when we had to be. But when we hit high school we made a style choice. We went punk. Not your everyday 'I hate the world' punks, but two teenage girls who were hyper 24/6. Sundays are lazy days. I'm more of what you would call a hard-rock punk. This beautiful morning I'm wearing black pants with buckles and chains all over them, a red shirt that says 'Preps must die….'in black lettering. I am also wearing skater shoes and wristbands with band logos on them. Last night I dyed my hair black with red and blue streaks. Song is a little bit more wild with her style. Today she was wearing a black skirt that ended a little bit above her knee (school code prevents it from going higher), black fishnet stockings, black combat boots, a bloody red shirt that had a black skull and crossbones on it, and she was wearing a ton of jewelry as always. She had also dyed her hair red and it was up in a ponytail. I'm carrying my guitar case because we have band practice after school.
Yes, Song, Rin (my other BFF), and I are in a band. We call ourselves "The PO Bitches." We love music, especially hard rock. My personal favorite band is Disturbed. I really like their song 'Down With the Sickness'. In our band I play lead guitar, Song plays the drums, and Rin plays bass. We all sing so nobody's head gets too big. We usually practice on weekday and after school on Fridays and guess what? Today's Friday!
I went to first hour, my favorite subject of the day. Japanese! This year I have my ideal class schedule. I looked around at the people that had shared the wee morning hours with me for the last couple months. But I saw a new yet old face. It was Inuyasha. Since class hadn't started yet I jumped and yelled, "Inuyasha Kuri Inutaisho you better get your but over here!" He looked up startled and walked over to me and asked, "Is that you Kagome?" "You betcha'!" "I see we've both changed quite a bit," he said. I looked him up and down. OH MY GOD! He was a…a…a…a PREP! "You're a prep?" I screamed out loud. Immediately I said, "Screw school, we're gonna mess you up to match the rest of us."
