Chapter Two: School!

I cracked open my eyes and stretched. The bed was so comfy, it just called for me to stay and sleep a little bit longer. My eyes began to droop again, "It's… soooo early!" The sun had just come up, but Lailya and Alex were already gone. They were both early risers, I'm the complete opposite! I love my sleep. As I was contemplating whether or not to get out of bed, the decision was made for me as someone knocked on the door. I sat up straight, "Yes?"

"It's Shigure, breakfast is ready and we need to talk about something." I listened to his foots steps receding as I slowly got out of bed and made my way to the door. I was wearing a pair of Tohru's pajamas because the ones I had yesterday were dirty from running through the woods and what not.

When I finally made it to the dining area after a "long" trek, I sat down on one of the little pillows and looked at everyone still half asleep. Yuki seemed to be having the same trouble waking up, it made me feel a little better. "Well, as you realize there's no telling how long you'll be here so I was wondering what you'd think about going to school…"

Alex stared at him and began to beg, "Do we have to? For all we know we'll only be here a few days, why go to the trouble?" She turned to Lailya for help who was sitting next to her, "Umm, well could we maybe not go?" They both made puppy eyes at Shigure. He laughed and waved a hand at them, "It's completely up to you, so don't make those faces at me! What about you Megan?"

I looked up and paused for a moment without answering, "I suppose I wouldn't mind going. I mean it's not like I like school… oh my gosh, school!" I was suddenly fully awake, "I had so much stuff to do for school! What about the Social Studies report? All my Science Olympiad stuff? Everyone's going to be so mad and disappointed with me! Oh no, what am I going to do?" I was nearly in tears thinking about all the angry and let down imaginary faces staring at me.

Everybody at the table stared at me as I was in my own little world. "Did you guys really have that much to do?" Kyo asked still staring. "Well, it was a lot, but Megan had more stuff because she was in more things than we were. Most of the stuff she was you had to build stuff at home too." Alex looked at me with a bored expression, "What's the big deal? Besides, I don't care what the teachers think I'm more worried about our parents." Lailya sweat dropped, and it sent me into another make believe scene of my parents yelling at me and saying I was grounded. "Megan, stop being so dramatic!" Alex butted into my thoughts.

I glared at her finally getting myself under control, "I'm not, I'm just thinking about the consequences!" Tohru looked at me and smiled, "Maybe it would be better if you just lived in the here and now for a while and try not to think about what will happen. You couldn't control what happened." I sighed and nodded my head in defeat. Yuki looked at us curiously, "So what grade are you all in?" "7th, almost in 8th!" Alex said proudly. Something suddenly occurred to me as she said that, and it made me smile slightly. "What are you smiling about?" Kyo glared at me. "I just thought of something! So Shigure when am I going to start school?"

He looked at me, "Well, we could go and have you take the entrance exam today… So neither of you will be attending?" Alex and Lailya shook their heads. "Then I guess I'll be having company for a while. Hmm, well Megan I guess you'll have to barrow some more of Tohru's clothes for today." I smiled and looked at Tohru, "I almost forgot to thank you for letting me… well us, use your clothes." She smiled back at me again, "It's ok, it's no problem! Oh, speaking of school we're going to be late!"

Tohru got up followed by Kyo and Yuki, and they all left. This left Shigure, me, Lailya, and Alex…. "Sooo, what are we going to do today?" Lailya asked curiously. "Are you two responsible enough to be left in the house by yourselves?" They both look insulted and instantly started to protest. "Ha ha, I guess you'll both stay here today then!" He turned to me, "We better both get ready then!" He got up and left and I quickly hopped up and ran up the stairs to Tohru's room.

I walked in slowly, knowing she had said I could go in and get some clothes but still feeling like I was trespassing. I quickly ran to the closet and noticed all she had were dresses, the type of clothes I disliked the most. So I gritted my teeth, and decided I ought to feel grateful for her letting me use her clothes and reached in and grabbed a light green one. After that was finished I ran into the second floor bathroom and brushed my teeth and put on the dress then combing my hair.

Once that was done I raced downstairs and smiled happily at Shigure who was already done and dressed in a suit! "Don't you look lovely! Well, we better be on our way!" We both exited after Shigure told Lailya and Alex everything they needed to know.

At the School:

I sighed heavily as I put down my pencil and turned in the test to the waiting secretary. It had been hard, but I was confident that I at least did well in science and English. They were my best subjects after all! Math worried me though, those were some tough questions and it didn't help I was mathematically illiterate to begin with.

"You can go wait outside now." The lady behind the desk smiled pleasantly as I left the little room to go back to the main office. Shigure looked up from a magazine he was reading and raised an eyebrow. I shrugged, "No telling…" While we waited for the results I sat down next to the Dog and began to fiddle with the dress again. "I take it that you don't wear dresses often?" I looked up and shook my head grinning, "Nope, I'm a blue jean kind of girl, with the occasional skirt or two." He nodded his head understandably, "Well, I suppose you and your friends will need to go shopping won't you?" I stared at him in surprise, "No, we couldn't! How would we ever pay you back?"

At that moment the lady came out still smiling, "Congratulations, Megan, you're a new member of this school! We have several pairs of uniforms that you need to buy, also." I'd completely forgotten about the uniform! What's more is they wear skirts all the time. Shigure looked at me and started to laugh, "You just thought of that, didn't you?" I glared at him good naturedly as we walked up to the lady to finish up.

Walking Home:

Since we didn't eat breakfast (Author: Yes, I remembered/noticed they didn't eat breakfast) we stopped at a little café type thing to pick up a quick bite to eat. Shigure and I talked about different kinds of books we liked until it was time for us to go home.

When we got there and walked in we both noticed two new pairs of shoes. One pair looked like they belonged to a woman, the other looked like they'd belong to a man. "We're home!" Shigure called curiously. Suddenly,

"Zenzieeeeeeeeee!" (Sensei!)

rang out through the house.
