Chapter 6
The teacher gave us assigned seats and as luck would have it, Sango and Miroku sat all the way across the room, just great. I spent all period watching the clock and twisting my hair with my fingers.
Two minutes before class ended I saw Miroku pass a note to Sango. Sango read it and smiled. She glanced my way and motioned for me to meet her outside of class. I nodded yes and started to pack up my stuff. The bell rang and I headed out the door. I stood by the wall and waited for Sango to emerge.
"I can't believe I didn't think of it!" Sango yelled in the hallway.
"Think of what?" I asked confused.
"Oh nothing… do you have a boyfriend by chance?" Sango asked excited.
"Uh, maybe. Why do you ask?" I wasn't so sure this was a good conversation.
"Well you see, Miroku and I have a friend who needs his spirits lifted. He sorta thinks that he can't get a girlfriend." Sango said quickly.
"Yeah, he's a really good guy too." Miroku added.
"So what does that have to do with me exactly?" I asked slowly.
"We were thinking, well actually Miroku thought of it first, maybe if you don't have a boyfriend you would hook up with our friend, please?" Sango said in one breath.
"Nuh-uh. No way! I don't even know the guy. It is a guy, right?" I asked a little scared.
"You can meet him at lunch and of course he's a guy! Please just think about it during second period. Meet me outside the lunchroom doors after second. Bye!" Sango yelled as she pulled Miroku along with her.
"What have I gotten myself into?" I asked out loud as the first bell rang. It's a good thing my next class was just down the stairs. I hurried down the stairs and bumped into someone.
"Sorry!" I yelled behind me as I continued down the stairs. I walked calmly to the classroom and opened the door. Not many people were there yet but I did see Kikyou. She must have sensed me because she looked my way and smiled.
I walked over to her and sat down in the desk behind her. I looked around the room to make sure there wasn't anyone listening and leaned closer to Kikyou.
"So how is your day going so far?" I asked in a whisper.
"It's great. I was asked to join some 'preps,' as you put it for lunch. Then they want me to try out for the cheer squad. How about you?" She asked.
"My day has been good so far too. I'm joining two 'punks' for lunch. Then they want to hook me up with their friend and I'm supposed to think about it before lunch. Any ideas?" I asked hopefully.
"Try it with the guy because he can be the one from my dreams." She said thinking deeply.
"What about our little side job? Am I supposed to say; 'Sorry but don't worry if I'm gone all the time, I swear I'm not cheating.' and walk away pretending he understands?" I asked confused.
"If he is the right one, then you can tell him about the missions. Don't worry about it, sis. We always think of something." Kikyou replied putting her hand on my arm.
The final bell rang and everyone was rushing into the room. Kikyou gave me one last smile and turned around.
