Chapter 9

"I don't get it!"

I flung myself onto my bed and groaned in frustration, making the other three girls groan as well.

"Kagome, it's not even that hard!"

Ayumi sat down next to me and pointed to her textbook.

"All you do is add this, divide it by the denominator, find the x factor, and then subtract it by the square root! Easy, right?"

"Huh?!"

I most definitely have missed to many math classes this year.

"Ayumi, Eri, Yuka…I just don't get it. I'm not made to solve problems, so let's just drop it!"

"But Kaaaags!"

Ayumi cried, pressing her textbook against her chest.

"You need to pass math! If you don't then you won't graduate and then you wont get a real job and you'll be forced to live on the street because you have no money to support yourself and then you'll catch a horrible disease from the garbage which you rummage through for food and then-"

"Ayumi!"

I shouted, cutting my friend off from her near panic attack.

"It's okay, I'll just get Kai to help me with it. He's gone through school already."

All three girls cocked their eyebrows up at me.

"Hmm…what's this ladies?"

Yuka stood up and crossed her arms, the other girls following suit.

"I don't know Yuka. Kinda looks as though Kagome here is picking her boyfriend over her best friends."

"You guys, you know it's not like that! I'm not picking anyone over anyone! It's just that he's already done this before!"

I desperately tried to fix things between us.

"Hmph. Sure doesn't sound that way."

"So do you guys hate me now?"

"…"

"Then this means that I can't invite you girls to my party then…"

"Party?"

Curiosity overcame their anger and the three girls looked suddenly interested.

"What party?"

"Well Kai and I are having our 1 month anniversary tomorrow night and I wanted you guys to come with me."

"…"

"It'll be at Kai's mansion."

"…"

"His parents aren't home."

"…"

"Other then us, everyone will be in college."

That got them excited.

"What?! You're having a party with college boys?"

"Uh-hu. But since you hate me now…"

"Why would we hate you? If we hated you then we wouldn't be able to go to your party!"

I giggled as everything was back to normal with us.

"So, what are we going to wear to this party?"
