Chapter 2

Piles of clothes were discarded all around the room, in different arrays of colours. Stacks of books, science, maths, english, history, etc thrown all over the room. I was truly going to miss the messiness and comfort of this room. It had gotten me through the hard times and the fun times. And it seems that I won't be coming back for a while. Picking up my luggage, I took one last look at my room and headed for the door.

"Mum, I'm going now."I called, as I was tightened my shoelace.

"Okay darling. Be careful." a voice flowed through the hallway from my mum's bedroom.

Heaving my bag onto my shoulder and picking up my suitcase, I exited the house. It was a nice day outside and the sun was already shining bright. I found myself taking bigger strides, pulling me closer to the school where I will be staying for the next year. I guess I am just too excited. I finally get to go to the school of my dreams. I just hope the students are not stuck-up like a lot of rich kids tend to be.

"Umm... excuse me. I am Kagome Higurashi." I delivered in my most guy-like voice.

I stood there in the reception, in the awkward silence, as I waited for a reply. After what seemed like the longest wait of my life, the lady looked up, handed me a folder and said in a bored tone, "Your dorm room is 660, and we had to place you with a senior as there was an odd number of juniors. Is that alright with you?" Before I could say yes, the receptionist continued, "Your timetable is in the folder, and the lesson times. So please take your belonging to your room and start heading towards your homeroom, which is C16."

When she finished speaking, she put her head down and got back to whatever she was doing. As I turned to leave, I couldn't help but think about the attitude of the receptionist. I just hope that not all the staff and students are like her.

Taking out the map from the folder the receptionist had giving me, I endeavoured to unfold it while standing and holding my bag and luggage. Obviously it failed. In just a split second, I was on the ground with all my stuff scattered around me. Student who were heading to class just passed by me and I could feel the burn of humiliation on my cheeks as they whispered and laughed.

Suddenly I felt a presence behind me. Rotating my head in an awkward way, I spotted the person I had sensed before. He had long silky hair, and he towered over me, like a skyscraper to a house. Staring at him, I sat there for what seem like a very long time. "What do you think you are doing? Sitting on the floor and looking at this Sesshoumaru." He began in a toneless voice. "Boy, can you hear me? Get up and move out of my path."

"Err. Sorry, but could you tell me where the dorm rooms are?"I asked timidly.

"Dare I say, how could a stupid boy like you get into this school. Get out of my sight." he muttered, before walking in the opposite direction.

Well that was nice... I just hope I never have to see him again. I mean he was good looking but his personality is just something I can't stand. Here goes the first day of a very boring school life. I thought, before feeling a hand on my arm. "Wha...?!?!" I exclaimed.

"It's okay. I'm just trying to help you up." The owner of the hand explained.

Once this kind hearted soul, unlike that pompous ass Sesshoumaru, helps me up I thanked him profusely. He had black hair tied in a mini ponytail and a friendly looking expression. "I guess you are new here. Do you need any help?" he asked.

"Yeah. I do. Umm...I am looking for dorm room number 660 and homeroom C16."

"Nice. We are in the same class. Now about your dorm...hmmm...it's kind of confusing, how about I take you there."

"Sure, thanks."

**********

"And here is our homeroom. C16." The boy, whose name was Miroku said.

"Thank you so much." I replied.

I glanced around the classroom and realised that it will be very hard to make friends with these people. They all looked as though they already fit in well and would not be prepared to accept another person into their friendship group.

Pausing for a second, Miroku cleared his throat and asked, "So are you planning on joining any clubs?"

"Yeah." I said, not really paying attention. "Probably the basketball club."

Just as Miroku was going to reply, a strict looking female walked into the room. "Good morning class."

"Good morning Miss Takaya." The room of boys murmured.

"Now class, I expect a better reply then that."

Flipping through her folder, she paused on a page. Sharply she turned to me and inquired, "Boy, is your name Kagome Higurashi?"

"Yes, Miss." I started, "that is my name."

"Well then, please introduce yourself to the class."

Walking to the front of the room, I picked up the marker and wrote my name on the board. Kagome Higurashi. I took a deep breath and turned around, knowing that whatever I say will affect how people will think of me. "Hi, my name is Kagome Higurashi. I am 16 years old and got into this school my the scholarship program. My favourite foods are dumplings and mango. My hobbies are sports, reading and hanging out with friends. I believe in fair play and I don't like liars."

A small silence followed my bow at the end of my introduction, but slowly the students started to whisper among themselves. I hope that I have made a good impression. I thought. Suddenly the class representative stood up and said, "Welcome to our class. We will try our best to help you get settle, but remember this, we hate liars too, so if you lie, you will not be forgiven easier."

Nervously I laughed weakly and headed to the empty spot next to a boy with white hair and cosplay-looking ears.
