Just Another Love Story
Chapter 1
It all started about a year ago, when Koga left and we heard there was a new kid coming. We were all excited, going into our last year of middle school. Next year we'll be graduating. We still had to get through this year, though.
When I heard about the new kid I was hoping it would be a boy. Our school was small, only seventy-five kids in the entire middle school. The majority were the youngest ones, sixth and seventh graders.
Our class was incredibly tiny, thirteen in the entire grade! A new kid was a big deal for us. The class had four boys, counting Hojo my childhood friend who seemed didn't say a word to anybody, but when I ever talked to him in a secluded place I couldn't get him to shut up.
As you might think we needed a balance of gender. Four boys and nine girls wasn't that great, for anybody. I hoped if it was a boy he would be into the anime thing that I was into, adult swim. It was like I was the oddball of the class sometimes. My locker was packed to the brim with pictures of Cowboy Bebop, Fooly Cooly, the works! Our teachers spoke of the kid, a boy coming from the school a few miles away.
I hoped that he was smart but in that way that he didn't show it. I was that way, when you know how to do Elimination by multiplication, but still think that Rock music kicks ass. And know screwed up tongue twisters that you get your friends in trouble with like, I like to shine my shiny city shoes. Say it fast enough and you'll get it. He had to be funny.
I hoped that when he came I would know if he was the one. Some kind of sign, any sign! I got most of my fortunes and signs at the Chinese place on Anderson St. It was a really busy street, ten o' clock at night and there are still cars zooming past.
I hoped that he was cute in only a way that I could see. I was the geek with glasses, and what's worse I heard that I was getting braces next year! I knew that Mizuki would take him if he was hot. There wasn't any kind of war going on, like "I want him!" "No! I saw him first!" We were a family, they didn't care if I was a bit abnormal and geeky.
The last thing I hoped, I hoped that he was as unique as me. My name is Kagome Higurashi, nobody else has that name! No one! They're all named Ami, Yumi, and Mizuki! I had the longest name too, it stuck out on a list.
Like this:
Ami Chang
Yumi Wong
Kagome Higurashi
Mizuki Yim
I think that I'm over thinking this though. Like "You don't know jack" If jack is meant to mean stupidity then why are you saying that you don't know him? It's more of a compliment, really. "you don't know stupidity!" That's fine with me.
Anyway let's get this rolling, I don't remember the date but there wasn't much school left. We had a "Sports Day" everyone was allowed to wear their favorite sports team t-shirt. At the time I was going through a gothic phase. I wore black which blended well with my black locks of hair.
Everyone rejoiced, not only was the year ending but we were getting a new kid! A boy! After the last boy that came we weren't sure what to think. The last one was Yui, fat, huge glasses, and smelled a little like B.O.
I remember walking in the morning that he was supposed to come, the new boy. Forget about the last boy! My friend Sango said that she knew him from church. (if someone could tell me if that's right or if it's called a Buddhist temple or something) She said he was really quiet, odd too. His name was Inuyasha. Inuyasha Akerilp.
