Tomboy Chapter 1
She looked around in approval of her new home. She had just moved from Miami Florida and for once, she couldn't wait to start fresh with her new life. She was going to miss her old home, friends, and life; but she also couldn't wait to make a new name for herself. At her old school everyone knew her. She was one of the guys, not that she was a tomboy in appearance. She dressed like a girl except for the occasional bad or lazy day. What made her one of the guys was the fact that she was very good at sports and didn't care much for girly things like make-up or celebrity gossip. When she was younger, she was the greatest daddy's girl you would ever meet. Her father taught her everything he knew about football, soccer, basketball, tennis, and basically every sport known to man. They watched and played games every second they got. Her younger brother, who was born 3 years after her, joined them also. That was until her father died when she was 12. She was sad, but knew in her heart that her father wouldn't want her depressed so for his sake and went on with her friends and their happy lives.
All her friends were guys whom she met at sports try-outs when she was younger and they didn't separate boys from girls; she never really connected with any of the girls she met who only wanted to watch the game from the stands. She didn't want to seethe game; she wanted to be the game and did as often as she could. But, she really needed girl friends that could relate to her problems, she was also sick of the lesbian jokes people made because no guy wanted a girl that acted like a guy.
She also couldn't relate to the athletic girls either. Sometimes they would pretend to like her just so they could discretely ask Kagome to hook them up with one of her real friends. She always saw through them. Well, no more of that. She was going to be the same person, but with less tomboy and more princess.
With a new sense of determination, she decided from then on that she would not place herself in that position again. She would still love sports, but defiantly on the down low. She didn't need to change herself. This move would give her an opportunity to have people see her as a girl who appreciates sports, not a rough girl or soft guy like people saw her before.
She was 17 years of age since 2 weeks ago and was beginning her junior year of high school. Her younger brother was going to be 14 in 2 months. He was now the self-proclaimed football prodigy, even though every time they've played around in their new back yard so far he's been beaten by his older sister. He says that she renounced her title when she decided to keep her sports life silent at this new school. But that was absolutely cool with her. She could always help Souta to his soon to be new status as the spots guy discretely and maybe have a little fun along the way.
Her name was Kagome Higurashi. She had just moved to Napa, California. She was going Greenberg High school when the summer ended in 2 months. She lived with her mother, brother, grandfather, and her fat cat. She knew no one other than her family. She had moved from all the way across the country and she couldn't be happier.
That is how we begin our story. With a knock on the door…
