Chapter 3: Truly 'Love at first sight'...
When the bell rang, everyone rose from their seats, gathered their books and papers, and walked out the door; everyone except Inuyasha, Kagome, Kikyo, and Sango. Inuyasha stood up from his seat with his stuff, working up his nerves, and walked toward the 3 girls. He took a deep breath.
"Um, hi," he said to them. They looked up, startled.
"Uh, hi," the 3 girls replied together hesitantly.
"Uh, Kagome? Could I talk to you for a moment? Um, alone?" Inuyasha asked the surprised girl. Kikyo and Sango looked at Kagome, a question in their wide eyes: huh? Kagome gave a tiny shrug in answer and followed the blushing Inuyasha toward a corner of the almost-empty classroom (A/M: Ms. Kaede left the room for a break).
When the blushing couple was alone, Inuyasha took a deep breath and said, "Um, you probably already know me. I'm Inuyasha Youkai. I...I saw you today already. Remember? In front of the school? I was wearing a cap and sunglasses," he added, waiting for her to remember.
"Um, yeah, I think so. You...you stopped to stare at us...me, but you ran off. Why?" Kagome asked.
"Well, I was kinda being chased, you know, by the girls," he answered.
"Oh, right," Kagome said, "by the demanding mob of girls," she joked, laughing. Inuyasha warmed to it, the beautiful laugh still ringing in his ears long after she had stopped.
"Uh huh," he agreed, also laughing, "So, um...the Welcoming Dance is next week."
"Yeah," Kagome said, looking down, oblivious to Inuyasha's blushing and fidgeting, unaware of what he was going to ask her.
"So, do...do you want to...to go to the Welcoming Dance with...with me?" he blurted out, breathing a silent sigh of relief, as if huge burden he was carrying was gone.
"Um, uh...I don't know...um, well," she paused, "Okay," she finally said, looking up, her deep, sea-green eyes suddenly lighting up, "Of course!" Inuyasha could've whooped with joy, but smiled and blushed too.
"Um, so...see ya later," he said brightly.
"Bye!" Kagome replied, and stood up on her tiptoes, and pecked him on the cheek, blushing furiously. He looked down, embarrassed, but smiled to himself and strode away. Kagome gazed after him, a dreamy expression in her eyes, until Kikyo shook her hard.
"Hey sis! Love at first sight, huh?" she remarked to Sango as Kagome blushed.
"Guys! Stop teasing," Kagome pleaded as her friends laughed, "Come on! We'll be late for period 2!" she said, walking ahead.
Barely getting to class on time (Math GT), the 3 girls found 3 seats next to each other in the back of the classroom side by side (all of their classes were the same) and sat down while Mr. Houlton (A/N: he's my, very hyper, science teacher from 6th grade) took attendance.
"Welcome to your very 1st day of school!" Mr. Houlton greeted them, then without pause he said, "We will start by reviewing today."
All during class, Kagome barely paid attention, though she took notes in her math journal, her mind was mostly on Inuyasha. She saw his handsome amber eyes in her mind, until Mr. Houlton said audibly, "Miss Higurashi! What is the 2nd power of 12?"
"Oh!" she said, startled as her friends smirked, "Um, 144."
"Yes," he said sharply, then said to the class, "Simple math like this must be memorized! I want you to study multiplication, addition, division, subtraction, order of operations, square roots and exponents...," the strict math teacher said as everyone, even Kagome broke out her daydreams, copied down the terms they needed to study for.
Finally, the 80-minute Interact (free time) came, kids screamed at the sound of the bell in happiness. Kagome, Kikyo, and Sango gathered up their belongings and walked out of the classrooms building toward the girls' dorms.
"Let's tidy up," Kikyo suggested to her 10-second-younger twin sister.
"Sure," Kagome agreed as Sango went to her own room. They set their school books, papers, and writing utensils neatly on the 2 desks (provided for each student). Then, they folded their clothes (each had: 2 other sets of school uniforms, 3 sweaters, 2 pairs of everyday bellbottoms, underwear, and girls' 'stuff') into the drawers in the closet that they shared. They also had their own pillows, which they set on top of the beds.
"Hey girls!" Sango suddenly said as she opened their door, "Getting comfortable?"
"Yeah," Kagome and Kikyo replied together, then Kikyo suggested, "Um, wanna go to the library to work on our English essays? We have lots of homework anyway, might as well get some of it done."
"Ok."
"Sure," Kagome agreed as Sango went to her room to get her books, pencils/pens, journals, and papers. The twins did the same. Then, they met outside, locked their doors, and quickly walked to the library inside the classrooms building,
When the girls got there, they found an empty table, and worked until the bell rang.
"Time for lunch!" Sango said to Kagome and Kikyo, "Let's go to the cafeteria (inside the classrooms building)."
"Okay," they both answered, and after the trio put everything in their book bags, they ran to the cafeteria 2 floors below and took out their lunch checks. Kagome, Kikyo, and Sango stood in one of the lunch lines to wait and picked out their lunches, then paying for them.
As Kagome munched on a raw carrot, her sister asked her, "Kagome, do you remember the boy who was staring at you outside the school this morning, the one with the cap and sunglasses?"
"Yeah, why?" Kagome asked.
"Wasn't he, um...Inu...Inuyasha Youkai? The transferred student? The one...you know...that you, um, kissed?" Kikyo teased in a whisper.
"Well, um, yeah," Kagome answered as her friends burst into laughter and everyone looked at them while the 2 girls choked on their mashed potatoes and gravy.
"Hey! Stop laughing! He is kinda cute, you know!" she protested.
"Weren't you the one who agreed that boys, anyone shouldn't be judged by their looks, huh?" Sango countered, still laughing.
"Well, yeah. But now I kinda know him better...so I think I can judge him! Besides, there's a dance next week. I won't be the one without a date! He...asked me...," Kagome trailed off, looking dreamy again.
When the bell—signaling the end of lunchtime (40 minutes)—rang, they dumped their trash into a large garbage bin and went to their dorms to get their class things. Two minutes later, they walked into their 6th period classes.
A/N: Is that long enough? It certainly took forever! Oh, and by the way, Mr. Houlton is not nearly as strict as in my story. And I know high schools don't have dormitories, but Shikon High does in my story, okay? I'll update sooner if you review! Thanks!
