A/N: This is my new story. By writing this I will NOT stop writing The Things We Do. I don't know if I will even be finishing this story, but I do have an idea for it. It all depends on you guys. Please review and tell me what you think. The story that gets the most reviews will be updated first.
The names for my characters are common names and may even be your name, but No I am not referring to you. The name of Marie and Katie's school is from the name of the fish food that was sitting next to me while I was writing this.
I DON'T NOT OWN INUYASHA & CO. I DO NOT OWN ANY PRODUCTS SEEN IN THIS FAN FICTION. Thank you.

"When Dreams Become Reality"
'Normal Girl'
By: Kagome-chan5
Beta: Sango-chan8
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Marie Macola is your average 15 year old, going on 16 year old, girl. She is about 5 ft 4 tall with dirty blonde hair that comes down right below her shoulders; her hair was brushed but still kept a slightly messy appearance. She had a fading tan and hazel-blue eyes. She defiantly wasn't the prettiest girl, in Wardley High a typical American High school, but hey she wasn't ugly either. She was basically average, normal, plain.
And average girls have to go to school, even if she is the main character in this fic.
*beep Beep BEEP BEEP* That annoying alarm clock, we all know it well, sitting next to Marie's bed on the small wooden night stand sounded saying it was now 6:25 AM and time to get up.
Marie cursed the alarm clock and shut it off, stumbling forward and turning on the light. It was Monday, August 25th 2003, Marie's first day of 10th grade.
"Whoopee, School!" Marie said darkly, rubbing her eyes. After a minute she slowly began pulling on her clothes for school. Nothing fancy, it's her typical wear, a pair of blue jeans, a t-shirt, and an over sized jacket, tennis shoes and white socks. You could tell just by looking at her, she is the queen of fashion. *rolls eyes* ..Okay so maybe not.
"Marie, hurry up!" Mrs. Macola called from the living room. By now it was 6:40, geez where does the time go?
"Coming!" Marie shouted and ran off to the bathroom to brush her teeth and comb her hair. Running back to her room she leaned over the dresser and picked up her books and pencils. Before leaving her room and glanced at a picture of Inuyasha on the nightstand. 'How I'm gonna miss watching anime all day, its school again.' Marie thought to herself. Walking out of the room Marie stopped in the room next to hers, the Office room. Which so happened to contain the computer.
"Hold on just one second Mom, I wanna check my Inuyasha downloads!" Marie sat on the swivel chair and touched the mouse to get the screen saver off, and looked excitedly at the screen. 'Yes! Episodes 124 and 125 are done!' Marie wanted to watch them now, but it was already 6:50 and it was time for her to go, or she might miss the bus.
Marie sprinted to the door, hugging her Mom on the way out. "See ya!" She yelled and ran out the door. Jogging up the hill as fast as she could, since she was normally always late and made the bus wait, she made it before the bus and sighed a sigh of relief. She stood next to a friend of hers and laughed at her friend's tired expression.
"'Morning Marie." Her friend said tiredly.
"'Morning Cassie." Marie smiled at her friend who obviously was not a morning person. They chatted for a minute until the bus pulled up and they got on, Marie taking her normal seat with Cassie.
"'Morning Marie! You look happy." Her other friends, 9th graders, Shannon and Vicky talked with her about their summers. Marie only partly listened; she was thinking more of her 2 new Inuyasha episodes begging to be watched. She was a huge fan of the series and always liked Kagome the best. She had even gotten the nickname "Kagome" from her best friend Katie, who nicknamed herself "Sango". Katie was a great friend to Marie; she had been the one to show her Inuyasha. That had been December of last year.
*~_~ *Flash Back* ~_~*
"Oh Marie! You have got to come over my house, I want to show you something!" Katie said cheerily, munching a few fries off her lunch tray.
"If it's that Immasha thing, I'd rather pass." Marie took a bite of whatever they were calling food in this cafeteria, maybe it was a chicken patty?
"Its Inuyasha and don't be that way I'm sure you'll love it!" Katie went on and on about how great this anime was and that Marie "just had" to come see it this weekend. After a while Marie agreed just to shut Katie up. Although she wasn't looking forward to this weekend watching Inishu or whatever it was.
*~_~*End Flash Back*~_~*
By now the bus has pulled into the school and was unloading. Stepping of the bus Marie looked at the paper she had written her homeroom on. 'Homeroom is 234, Miss. Clarion - oh great.' Marie thought darkly, thinking her life was the worst. Marie liked Miss. Clarion as much as she liked Kikyou, and that was saying something. Since Kikyou was her 2nd least favorite character, next to Naraku of course.
"Well Good Morning Marie!" A guy who sat in front of her turned about the second she sat in her seat.
"Oh God! It's too early for you Jaison!" Marie hissed through clenched teeth.
"Ya ya I know 'you hate me'. Which is good because I hate you too. Let me see your schedule." Jaison grabbed it from her without even waiting for an answer an compared it to his.
"I do hate you, and sure not that you would have listened if I said no--Hey what are you grinning about?" Marie looked at the 2 schedules and thought Hell has just swallowed her whole.
"We have French together again and Foods, plus Computers." Marie sighed.
"Yep! You have Japanese and French on here..how are you gonna handle two languages?" Jaison put her schedule back on her desk and never heard her mutter a reply of ''cuz I'm smarter then you.' because his real friends came into the room.
It was the first day and it was already looking like a bad year. Normally it didn't look this bad until atleast day 2. Not even her schedule, the classes not with Jaison, was good.
Period One- English 10~Mr. Firona.
Period Two- French~ Ms. Willbie.
Period Three- Japanese~ Ms. Miso.
Period Four- Computers~ Mrs. Guriri.
Period Five- Foods~ Mr. Perkens.
Period Six (A&C)- Study Hall~ Mr. Butten (B Lunch).
Period Seven- Algebra 2~ Mr. Allouse.
Period Eight- Science~ Mr. Kenopoke.
Period Nine- History 10~ Mr. Butten.
YEP BAD YEAR!
~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~
Period One was boring -zzzz-. Period Two was 'god help me before I kill Jaison'. Period Three is now and its 'YES! Where's Katie?'
Japanese was Marie's favorite class and it was even better when Katie walked in the door.
"Sango-chan!" Marie called to Katie, using their nicknames.
"Kagome-chan!" Katie answered with a smile and they took their seats in the front of the room. When Marie got her Japanese book she nearly hugged it in pure happiness. By far Japanese -and lunch- were her favorite subjects.
~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~
The rest of the day went smoothly and Marie didn't see Katie again until 6th period -study hall.
"How's the day going?" Katie asked her friend when they sat in their seats, back of the room of course.
"It's. Livable. Barely!" They chatted for a while before the teacher told them to be quiet. Sighing Marie layed her head on her desk and starting thinking how she had come to love Inuyasha.
*~_~ *Flash Back* ~_~*
"Marie! I'm so happy you could come over, come in!" Katie dragged her friend up to her room where Marie left her things, she was staying the whole weekend after all. "Mom's still on the computer so we can't watch Inuyasha just yet, but don't worry we can watch it soon!" Katie talked more about Inposha and Marie could only think 'spare me!'
"Its okay K-T we don't have to watch Inuyasi, I'll get over it..honest." Marie tried to convince her friend, but NO Katie wasn't listening, she was too busy dragging Marie downstairs, over to the computer and nearly forcing the headphones on to her.
"Watch!" Katie demanded as weird music that definatly wasn't English started to play in the headphones. Marie kept a bored look as best she could, the show wasn't bad she decided. She was even almost disappointed when the episode ended.
"Well, whatcha think!?" Marie knew she couldn't tell her friend she liked it, not after all that fuss she made about not wanting to watch it.
"I don't know, I'd have to see another one to tell if I like it…" So it began, Marie kept saying this till after 10 episodes, then she finally admitted in liking it.
That weekend was a blur, but somehow in two days she and Katie had watched over 45 episodes @_@.
*~_~ *End Flash Back* ~_~*
The ringing of a bell brought Marie back from her memories. "Lunch!" Katie said in a sing-song voice and dragged Marie to lunch.
~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~
The rest of the day was boring and loooo~ng! But it was finally 9th period, the end of the day. "Finally!" Marie smiled and ran from her History room when the final bell sounded, History never had been her favorite subject. What did she care about Civil Wars? She was just trying to live in her state, happily. And plus they didn't get to learn about Japan until next year -grrr-.
"Bus..91..Bus, Bus.." Marie looked where her bus had been last year but it wasn't there. 'Damn stupid school, ah look its Katie!' Marie thought while running up to her slightly lost looking friend. She was sitting on the bench, and indeed looking lost. Katie was about the same height and weight as Marie but had very dark brown, almost black, hair and eyes. She was also 15, but a few months younger then Marie.
"Lost Sango-chan?" Marie sat down, surprising her friend.
"AH! Marie! Don't scare me like that!" Katie yelled, putting a hand to her heart and Marie mutter a sorry.
"My bus isn't here, I even asked the teachers, no one knows where it is." Katie sighed. "What should I do, Kagome-chan?" She looked at Marie who started smiling happily.
"Ride home with me, of course! I finally see my Bus, the last one of course, oh well hurry!" They quickly walked to the bus and got on right before it left.
"You sure this will be okay?" Katie asked after they had taken seats and the bus was moving. "Ya know me riding your bus and all?"
"Yeah, its fine, I'll have my Dad take you home.
~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~
"Bye Marie!"
"Bye Katie!" Marie's father was taking Katie home as soon as they got home from school.
Marie did her homework and showered, and all only chatting to her friends online for a few minutes, since she had an hours worth of Inuyasha to catch up on.
"I'm going to bed a little bit early." Marie yawned and started to her bed even though it was only 10:30.
"Oh, night then." Mrs. Macola hugged her daughter before she crawled into bed.
'I talked to Bethany and Kelly online tonight, but Hannah was quiet as normal.. Ah I hope I have good dreams, as good as my new episodes ^-^' Marie thought before falling asleep.
She did dream that night.
Good dreams in fact, about her biggest wish.
Being Kagome Higurashi.
