Summary: Kagome is the kid no one notices. She's nothing special and wants to keep it that way. When she starts University, things are very different from high school. So what can you do when someone actually notices you? And what if that someone is who almost every girl in university is after?
Chapter 1: Weird Me.
Some people look upon the beginning of a new year in university as a fresh start, a new chance to make something out of yourself. Others saw it as another boring year, with nothing ahead but never ending homework, countless hours of studying and even less sleep. Of coarse everyone is entitled to have their own opinion, be it secret or down right known to the whole world.
Well then, a new year it is. Now just imagine what kind of people you might meet there. What will it be like? Will I make any friends? Are the teachers way too strict for comfort? Why am I asking myself these questions? …ok its official, nervousness is contagious. Why did I have to go and get all over my head after the talk with Souta? Its not like he knows what he's talking about anyway! He's still in high school! Well then, what's wrong with me? That's a question I have been asked since the day of my birth.
Well to tell the truth, I never even considered myself normal. Yes it may sound just a bit on the edge, coming from me personally, but hey, nobody's perfect! Yet again perfect is something far then linked to describe me. May be more along the lines of 'clumsy beyond reason'? Yes, more likely. Well then, what can I say? I'm 19, and single. How pathetic is that? Now in all honesty can you tell me that it's normal to NOT have a boyfriend at my age? My little cousin in elementary has one and she's 13! Now, how did I get on discussing my personal love life? Oh yes, talk, talk and talk and then realize that you were supposed to shut up about an hour ago. Hmmm, always happens, unpreventable really.
Anyway, back to the point. What was it again? Oh, how can I be so stupid? I really should go see a doctor with all these issues I seem to have. You know I have so many, my ex-boyfriend never fails to point them out up close and personal. Most of which I didn't even know existed. Well just to let you know they do. If your ever looking for an example, come find me sometime. With all the faults I have I'll probably go insane soon. Oh well, sanity is overrated anyway. Plus even if I disappeared, its not like anyone would care. Or notice.
I always thought I could write a book about my life. Even though people around me never notice, I still do. You know when you don't pay attention to someone as though they don't exist, they actually have better access to what and who you are then your closest friends. When you are with friends you act, you may not try but you do. But when you don't have people around you, you are you. The one your friends don't know, the you that goes unnoticed by anyone. Except me. I notice. Because they don't notice me, like invisibility is a power, this has its advantages. That's how I noticed, everyone has faults. Everyone lies. Every. Single. Person. Why? Who knows…may be as a way to hide what they want kept in the dark, even though sometimes its something you shouldn't hide. I never tell though. Ever. They don't know, that I know. They'll never know. Its my little secret. Only mine…
Yes, well now that we got that out of the way, you probably agree with me on the insane comment? Thought so. That's ok, understanding is a privilege not every one possesses. I don't. But anyways, back to the important things. What was it again? Oh yeah, I'M GOING TO UNIVERSITY. I can't believe that tomorrow is the first day; I'll probably get lost a hundred times over! And then I'll be late for every class, and everyone will stare at me, and I'll die of embarrassment. May be I should just drop out now; save whatever dignity I still have. No, then my mom won't be happy. I guess I'm stuck. Oh well, I'm already planning my own demise. Well see what happens tomorrow then. Till then, I guess I'll just sleep.
Kagome got up from her writing desk, and turned off the light. Climbing in her bed she took one last look out the window before falling in a dreamless sleep. Full moon high in the sky shone through the bunches of clouds, pale light sipped through the light peach curtains, falling on the book. The silver letters seemed to glow in the moonlight, standing out against their black background. In scripted Japanese letters in wrote "The Personal Diary Of Higurashi Kagome."
