Just Another Love Story

Chapter 2

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.

He was standing at the "lab table" in the front with the rest of the boys, and some girls. He was mingling and laughing along with everyone else. I walked in, again no one noticed, except my friend Sango. Who was standing at her desk, taking some books from her backpack.

"So that's the new kid?"

"Yup."

"Is he nice?"

"Yup."

"Did you know that I flew to Pluto this morning?"

"Yup."

Ok, so maybe she didn't notice that I walked in, but at least she acknowledged me.

"Did you hear a word I said?" I waved a hand across her face.

"Huh?"

"Earth to Sango, do you come in peace?"

"Oh, yeah. I'm just a little nervous about the vocab test."

"That's today! Oh, no! I forgot!"

"You always forget them, and you always ace them!"

I didn't get a chance to even say hello to him, the new boy, Inuyasha. He had glasses, a personal "YES!" for me, and the longest hair for a kid in a school like this, a Buddhist one, I mean. We had uniforms year round, except today! As I said before it was "Sports Day" and I wore black and painted my nails red, go Bucs! They were the only sports team I knew because they played football.

I love football, but no one in here knew that except, of course, Sango. I usually just passed the ball with her in P.E. because she wouldn't do anything else, and it didn't take much energy. The only problem was she didn't throw it as hard as I did so I never really went the limit, in anything actually.

We had "devotions" in the morning, that's where an adult would stand at the front of the room and tell us about peer pressure and that we shouldn't do crack. I was only half-listening that morning. He was talking about something like unfair gender something or other, blah, blah, blah, and then he asked a question. "What type of prejudice is that?" Someone said racism; I knew that was wrong it was sexism.

"Sexism, actually."

It was Inuyasha, smarts, too? Another personal "YES!" for me.

Well it was now Spanish class, most schools were studying English, but of course we had to be different. I was the best Spanish speaker in the class, Spanish speaker that is. Hojo knew a lot, too, but he didn't say a word.

I didn't like Spanish because the teacher was so boring and I sat right up front so I couldn't even fool around. To make matters worse I sat alone with my friends right behind me. I could hear them giggling, but I didn't know what about. It got incredibly annoying!

Then he sat next to me! Inuyasha! This was so cool! After class we even got some time to talk! Instantly I leaned back on my chair leaning it against the back desks of my friends. I started chatting then for a few minutes when Inuyasha jumped in.

"Do you guys watch Adult Swim?"

My eyes lit up, he …watches…he …Adult Swim….I…YES!

Of course, that's also when it went straight downhill.

I bombarded him with questions, acting like a preppy little school girl who just got asked out by the quarterback. It was like WWII all over again except worse because he couldn't fight back.

I offered him the discs I had downloaded like 50 episodes onto. He hesitantly said he would take them although I think he just wanted to shut me up. I would have done the same thing. I don't blame him in the least.

Later, about a week or so, he gave me back all the discs. He said that they didn't work in his computer; he just heard a bunch of Japanese people saying stuff. It wasn't the same unless you have a picture.

The rest of the year went along ok, turns out that Inuyasha was really cool and started hanging out with Monten. Who was like the most popular most wanted guy in the class that was the reason that I didn't want him. I would've just been another fan girl, which to me is humiliating and degrading.

Who did I really want? Inuyasha. Not so cute that he other girls will want him smart, but watches things like adult swim. Funny and, no wait, that's about it.

How is he funny? Once he said, "Some people believe that we've evolved from dogs. That'd be cool because then we'd be like… woof!" Trust me he's not that stupid all the time.

But he does have an obsession with duct tape; he made a vest and let our bible teacher wear it. Our bible teacher is the coolest! He has two kids, but he still spikes his hair up and is always wearing shorts, a t-shirt, and sandals.

Then came summer! I watched TV day and night; did you know that every week day night Sci Fi shows really good movies? Yes, I am that pathetic. Anyway after a while I had a harder time of seeing the TV. I didn't tell my mom, though.

I knew what was happening, my eyes were getting worse. I tried to cut down on television without her noticing but to no avail. That means it didn't work in the slightest. She took me to the eye doctor and he said that my eyes were worse. Oh great! Thicker glasses! That should help me in high school! Thanks, Doc! You bastard.

"Well, Kagome, your eyes are a lot worse I would recommend contact lenses. A girl your age probably doesn't want a pair of huge thick glasses, right?"

I was in shock. No glasses? None at all?

"What!" I asked in disbelief.

"Ok, well if you want your glasses then we can just adju-"

"I CAN GET CONTACT LENSES! YAY!" I did a little "happy dance" right there in the doctor's office.

So, I got the contact lenses, some guy named Jake taught me how to get them in my eyes. It took me an hour, then he wanted me to learn how to take them back out.

"Are you kidding?"

"Nope, you've gotta learn. I know how you feel though the first time I did it, it took me three hours, as soon as I got them in, some kid came to the counter and put on his contact lenses on in three seconds! Just like this!"

He made movements as to put in contacts very quickly.

"So take them out."

Surprisingly, I took them out very quickly, like five seconds quickly.

"Ok, put them back in."

No! I groaned internally.

Well, after that things were great! The only thing bad ahead was my braces. Later that summer, I went to get my teeth cleaned, and you guessed it! No braces! Although I will need invisalign, you know those braces that are like see through.

Now, it was almost time for school again. I can't remember what we did all year; I just remember a few select things like before school started I went to my favorite Chinese place.

My fortune said, "Romance shall come to you in a very strange way this year." I turned to my little brother Sota in the back to ask what he got, but I never found out. Because right behind us, right across the street was a new place, an entirely new building.

AKERILP LAW FIRM

Akerilp? As in Inuyasha Akerilp?

(Akerilp actually refers to his father, but they have the same first name not "Inuyasha" but…never mind I'll tell you in the next chapter)
