February 15/ 09 4:53PM - I updated! Sorry, but this past month has been very busy with exams and final mid-term marks and then the Coal Bowl, a big basketball tournment at my school, it was almost near impossible to update anything! But, since this story is one of my favorite that I wrote so far in my career, only 3 years, I wanted to update this one first. I will also be updating BBTT, Blood Behind The Tears, either today also or in the next few days. Once again, thank you for waiting such a long time for me to update, and I hope you like this chapter!
Chapter 7, The New Guy
It was very noisy in Drama class, everyone asking Kagome where she was and how long she would be staying at the school this time. There was also alot of gossip between the girls, wondering when Shay would get there, which classes he would be in, and which girl he would like. Kagome, who never opened her mouth on the subject, thought that he was an egotistical jerk, whose soul purpose in life is to make young teenage girls fall for him with his amazing vocal abilities. Even though Kagome had a huge crush on him since she was 12, she still thought he could be more of an artist, and less of a jerk. But, she would never say that to the girls, they would rip her head off for even thinking that about him.
Kagome was sitting in the front of the theatre, her legs crossed over each other and her backpack accompanying the seat beside her. Her binder lying on her legs, as she doodled on a blank piece of paper. She could hear girls giggling behind her, still talking about Shay. Kagome could only roll her eyes as the them, Shay wasn't that great. Kagome could hear her phone vibrating in the front pouch of her backpack, her opened her bag and pulled out her cell and opened it up. It was a text message from Hawk, "What are you doing? How is your first day back to school going? Wanna meet for lunch?"
Kagome did not reply. She deleted the message, slid her phone back in her backpack, and closed up the pouch. Just when she was finished putting her phone away, the back door to the theatre opened and their Drama teacher was walking down the middle isle with a student. The student had jet black hair, tanned skin and, and to Kagome, it looked like he had golden eyes. That's not possible. Kagome shook her head and turned around to face the stage where the teacher, Mrs. Kaihsa, and the student stood. Kagome raised an eyebrow, as she heard all of the girls sigh. Kagome laughed, as she stared at Shay standing on the stage.
Mrs. Kaihsa cleared her throat, there were a stack of papers in her hand that looked like a new attempt of a play, as she smiled to us. "Class," she stated. "I hope you had a lovely and safe weekend. And, I am glad to introduce you to our new student here at Shikon High, Mr. Shay Aarons." All of the girls stood up and began clapping, and screaming for him. He waved to them all, but eyed Kagome for about a minute. She was the only one that didn't clap or even look up when the teacher said his name, this made him think.
Shay stepped forward and looked around the theatre at all of the girls. "Good morning," his voice sang. "I'm Jackson Aarons, but most of you know me as Shay." The girls giggled, Kagome just sighed.
He smiled. "I am very lucky to be surrounded by such great fans, and I hope you all are as nice as I think you are. I didn't chose this school for nothing, you know."
He glanced over at Kagome, she still wasn't paying attention to him. "I hope I will be friends with each and every one of you, thank you." Every one stood up and clapped as he made his way off the stage.
The girls were waving him over to sit with them, and screaming his name over and over. Kagome was starting to get a headache, the first day I'm back and a star has to be here, just my luck! Kagome glanced over at him from the corner of her eye, and saw Shay looking over at her. he began walking over in her direction. Kagome took a deep breath and shoved her head into her book she was reading to pass the time. She could hear the steps getting closer, she saw them walk infront of her and then stop on her left side. She could see a slight image sitting next to her.
Kagome brought her head up to meet his eyes. His eyes were like two pools of swirling gold, that you could drown in. He gave her a small grin, and stuck out his hand. "Hello," was all he said to her.
Kagome nodded to him, but didn't take his hand. "Hi." She gave a quick smile and went back to her book.
He laughed, as his eyes went wide with shock. "Wow," he commented. "Your the first girl at this school who hasn't sighed or giggled at me." He paused for a moment, Kagome shrugged her shoulders in between his two statments. "Why?"
What is with him? He thinks he is the greatest and that everyone should love him. Kagome raised her head, putting her binder and book into her backpack, and then turned to look at him. "I don't care if you are the most famous guy in the world, and that you sing like an angel and you have a mansion bigger then this school. You are an egotistical jerk who thinks everything and anything revolves around you. You think that girls have to giggle and sigh when ever you walk into a room, but they shouldn't," she rolled her eyes. "-because your not worth it."
Jackson's eyes widened as he nodded to her. Seconds past, and Kagome was beginning to get a little uneasy at the fact of him staring at her. Finally, he spoked. "You know your right," he agreed. "-but I enjoy the fact that your not starstruck by me, it's nice."
Kagome giggled at him, but stopped when she figured out what she was doing. He laughed at her, "What is your name?"
She remembered that he stuck out his hand to her. "Kagome," she stuck out her hand for his. "Nice to meet you."
Jackson took her hand and shook it. Kagome's skin felt like it was on fire, and the redness in her cheeks suddenly appeared. She let go of his hand, and then sighed. "What class do you have next?"
His shoved his hand into his side pocket and ripped out a piece of yellow paper, he scanned it quickly. "French."
Kagome's eyes widened, nodding her head. "Wow, I have French next to. Walk with me to class?" A grin appeared on Kagome's face, as she saw the joy in Jackson's face of the thought of having a friend in his classes.
The joy faded when he raised his eyebrow, "I thought I was quote; 'An egotisical jerk who thinks everything and anything revolves around him.'" He chuckled.
Kagome sighed, "Well, you were my dream guy when I was thirteen. I use to dream that you would come to my school and sweep me off my feet, but I always knew it wasn't going to happen." She shrugged.
Jackson, or Shay, whatever you wanted to call him, seemed very flattered. "Did I sweep you off your feet?" Kagome glanced at him, his golden eyes looking formilor. Kagome felt an ache in your chest for a split second, remembering his eyes.
Kagome narrowed her own at him, "Why are your eyes gold?" She saw his jaw clench, his chuckled beginning to turn white.
His jaw unclenched and turned into an uneasy smile, "My contacts, they sometimes look golden, sometimes red," he chuckled, but Kagome could see it was fake. "-they do that alot."
Kagome nodded slowly. I think he knows something I don't, but what and how? Might as well keep him close, until I can talk to Inuyasha after school. "So, walk to class?" She flashed a smile.
He raised an eyebrow, but nodded. "I'd love to." Kagome nodded at him, as she looked to the front of the room as Mrs. Kaihsa took the stage and began to tell about the up coming play they were going to be marked on. Kagome could only think about Shay, well Jackson. He was completely annoying yet completely wonderful at the exact same time. Kagome felt like there was more to his smile, though. That he was hiding something, but what?
A/N - The next chapter will be way longer and way better, I just had to introduce him into the story first. Chapter 8 will be all about Inuaysha and starting training. Also, him and his physco 'future wife' getting to know each other. 3
