Disclaimer: I don't own Inuyasha

Hey everyone. Thanks for all the reviews! I know it seems like my story is progressing quickly and it may look a little choppy. But there is a method to my madness, lol, don't worry. Soon everything will go more smoothly. There's a secret behind this story, a cookie to anyone who figures it out ;)

Chapter 4

It was another day of school. Kagome sighed as she got her books out of her locker and headed for first period English. Lately things were just not going her way. She thought that Kouga had gotten her point. Boy was she wrong. He now kept calling her cell phone wanting to hang out. Eri and both Kiyo had told him to leave her alone, Kiyo even getting into a fight with him about it. Her family life still wasn't all that great. And now to top it off, all her friends were slowly getting into relationships. She didn't want to be jealous of her friends, but it's kind of hard not to be when your valentine's day was spent baking cupcakes with Eri and Yuka. Kiro had to work that night and they had plans to go out the next day. So Kagome was satisfied enough that at least she could be lonely with Yuka. That is, until Hoshi, Yuka's friend that she had a crush on, showed up at the house with flowers for her. He had brought along flowers for Kagome and Eri too, but it was plainly obvious he was there for Yuka.

Yup, life was just plain annoying. Kagome had been staying in a lot lately as well. 'Why can't I be a normal teenager like everyone else. I just want to go out, have fun, and meet a guy who cares about me…but not in a stalkerish kind of way. O, and one quick enough to realize I like him.' Kagome pasted a smile onto her face and walked into English where her friends waited for her.

"Hey Kag. Yuka here wants to go watch the indoor lacrosse game tonight. You up for it?" Ayumi asked as Kagome sat down.

"Yeah sure. Why not. Something to do."

"Yay we won!" Kagome smiled at Haya's enthusiasm. Haya never really seemed like a sports fan, so it was kind of funny to see her act this way.

"Kagome, you'll never guess what Hoshi said to me today. Well…not to me exactly."

"What do you mean Yuka?"

"Ok. So we were just hanging out when he just mumbles something about skittles and porn." The three girls just stared at Yuka, and then began to laugh hysterically.

"Anyway…do you guys want to go say hi to Toyo since he played tonight?" Ayumi questioned.

"We might want to wait a second considering he's naked." Haya said with a yawn. Kagome, Yuka, and Ayumi turned around as quickly as they could without snapping their necks. Toyo wasn't exactly naked…he was changing out of his uniform and didn't have a shirt on. Kagome blushed and turned back around. She never thought his chest would be defined like that… Ayumi began to laugh with Kagome joined in. Haya actually had them believing he was naked.

"o, now no pants…"

"Hey guys…" Kagome started, "you think Haya wants some of Toyo's skittles?" Haya immediately began denying everything as the girls began to leave. None of them wanted to say hi to Toyo. They all doubted they could do it with a straight face.

Kagome once again awoke to the sound of her phone ringing. However this time it was two in the morning…

"Hello…"

"Kagome, I'm so sorry I forgot to mention it earlier. I know you had an interview with the scholarship committee from the American college you wanted to go to. How did that go?" Kagome winced at Ayumi's loud voice. How that girl was so cheerful at this time of night was beyond her.

"I think it went well. The people there were all so nice. And you know I need this scholarship. Yeah Tokyo State is good, but I want to go to this school so bad. It's perfect for me."

"Well I hope everything turns out ok. See you in like five hours."

"Yeah yeah yeah…."

"It takes eight minutes for light from the sun to reach the Earth."

"Hey professor, I have a question."

"Yes Hoshi?"

"Does that mean, if say, the sun exploded, we wouldn't know for eight minutes?"

"Yes, I suppose that would be correct Hoshi."

"Well what could you do in eight minutes?"

"Well Hoshi, there's a couple of things you can do in eight minutes." Hojo threw in.

"A couple?" Hoshi said while smirking.

"Well sure Hosh. All you have to do reload and you're good to go." At the word reload Kagome happened to be drinking a soda, which soon ended up on Hojo's face.

"And then he goes, 'you can just reload'" Kagome's friends all burst out laughing as Kagome retold the story of her physics class.

"I mean, do guys even realize some things shouldn't be said next to a girl?"

"Hey Kag, maybe that means you're one of the guys now." Ayumi told the girl. Kagome blanched at the thought. Was that what Hojo thought of her?

"Mom I'm home"

"Kagome, you got a letter from the school in America." Kagome ran like lightning to her bedroom to find the letter on her bed. Tearing open the envelope she quickly read the letter. She had been accepted. Soon she would find out about her scholarship, but she was accepted. For once something was going Kagome's way.
