Hey guys! There was some confusion in the last chapter, and I'm just going to clear that up. The reason that everyone was asking if she was new is because she was rarely in school, and when she was, she kept an extremely low profile. The reason she wasn't able to not be seen is because she came in late. Also I keep forgetting the disclaimer, so I think it's safe to assume that I WILL NEVER OWN FRUITS BASKET! I do own Sapphire and Nia.
I glanced around desperately for another place to sit. Maybe the teacher would let me sit on the floor…? That plan was dismissed right away. Even asking the teacher would look suspicious, and he hates me anyway.
Sighing, I gave up. I padded slowly to my seat, as if it was death sentence. I really wish I could sit next to someone else, even Kisa! 'Cause if I had to choose a Sohma it would be her.
Kisa had been held back a grade, because of the…erm…..bullying she had suffered. After that seemed like hours, I finally reached my seat. Sliding in, I quietly opened my notebook.
Trying to distract myself from the Sohma next to me, I began to doodle. I drew to zodiac (in animal forms) all celebrating and having fun, like a family. A few feet away, looking miserable, was the cat.
And even further, shrouded in shadows, was a wolf. There was betrayal in its eyes, and its ears and tail drooped. I had just finished drawing the background when the bell rang. As I stood up, I caught Hiro and Kisa (who had migrated over to Hiro's desk when class ended,) staring at my drawing.
Tensing, I snatched my notebook away. Nearly running out the door, I took a deep breath, and quickly walked to my next class. Maybe… I shouldn't have gone to school today.
(A/N:I was going to end here but I think I'll continue, because that would make the chapter extremely short.)
The day dragged on. And on. And on. And o-. Yes! The bell! For someone who was trying to be low-profile, I practically skipped out of the classroom.
"Hey!" A quiet, cheery voice stopped me in my tracks. I slowly turned around, and sighed. The adorable, even by my standards, (Nia was pretty cute), face of Kisa smiled up at me. I nearly growled when I saw Hiro behind her. Damn it! How could my luck get any worse?!
"Your drawing was really good! The Chinese zodiac right?"
Hiro interrupted. "If it was the Chinese zodiac, why was there a wolf in it?" Universe, when I asked if my luck could get any worse, it was not a challenge. Hiro kept talking. "Well? Aren't you going to answer us? We asked you a question" Rude Idiot.
"Hiro!" Kisa scolded him. "Stop being mean!" I should have run. Right then and there. While they were distracted. But I didn't, and the universe decided to screw me over even more.
"Hey! What are you guys doing? I thought you were gonna walk with us to Shigure's! If you don't hurry, we'll leave without you!" Than the red eyed menace noticed me. "Hey, aren't you the girl from earlier?" Then I noticed Tohru. And Yuki. And Momiji. All behind him. Thanks, universe.
