Stop pretending? Stop acting? Stop being yourself? I didn't get it. We all are different, but alike in someway.
The looks don't matter. What really confuses me is, why can't people see that?
It all seemed like a fairy tale, he had asked me out and-... forget it, you don't know my story, you wouldn't understand.
I am not acting, maybe I am... I'm not pretending, maybe I am... Am I making myself clear? No, I'm not, how can you understand how I feel?... Then let me tell you a story about a girl named Kagome Higurashi; that way you may understand.
=°_°= ( (it's a fish!! I tell you, it is a fish!!)
A girl was walking through the hallways of High School 025. Her hair was long and messy as if she woke up late and ran to school, and that was the truth. She was wearing black cargo pants. They were a little big for her; the only thing holding them up was her hips. The boxers she was wearing could be seen - just a little - while her cargo pants moved as she walked. From the back she may have seemed like a 'normal' high school girl, but if you looked at her face to face, the whole story was different.
To match her pants, she wore a black T-shirt with a drawing of Jack, the pumpkin guy in the movie "The Nightmare Before Christmas." He looked very creepy. A chain was attached to her pants, she wore some sneakers with the laces untied, and her makeup was black eyeliner... That's all. And she is seventeen, by the way. A punk girl we have here.
She was late for class. Her alarm clock hadn't sounded, at least Kagome said so. What was the hurry anyway? If she was ten minutes late for class she got detention, or had to clean a classroom. She was already 20 minutes late. Like I said before, what was the hurry?
As she entered the room, the whole class went silent. It was the typical picture of a Monday.. She was always late the first day of the week, not because she was a badass chick or something, just because she was a lazy girl.
"The same thing as always, Tanaka-sensei," she said form the doorframe, looking down a little, apologizing to the sensei -again-. Tanaka-sensei had been very patient with her. She liked that teacher; he was one in a million.
"Higurashi, go to your seat, and the same routine after school is finished, okay?" He didn't look away from the board. He was writing something. Kagome passed him and went to the back of the room against the window, as always.
Her friends were there, one in front of her, and the other one beside her. The one in front of her had long hair held in a ponytail. She was wearing a hat with horizontal blue lines and her hair came out, forming a hole in her hat.
She wore a white shirt with flowers on it and a long - also white - skirt. Let's say she was the hippie girl. The thing she was known for was a necklace with her name. It said Sango.
And for the ending touch, the girl beside her was Ayame. Her hair was orange, and she had green eyes. Her clothes were a skirt of a band named Offspring and military pants. Spiky bracelets completed the outfit. And she was the rocker girl.
This threesome was famous in a way. A punk, a hippie, and a rocker. God created them, and they got together.
As class started, the girls started to talk.
"And now tell us about your weekend adventure like always, Kagome." Ayame moved her seat closer to Kagome's.
"No adventure this weekend... just a boring one." Kagome looked at the board and started to copy what the teacher was writing.
"You won't believe what happened this morning," Sango said as she turned around a little to face her two friends.
"First I woke up at 7:15" - they enter school at 7:30 - "And my father was already waiting for me in the car. I dressed in like two minutes and brushed my teeth. As I was running downstairs I tripped on the stairs and almost went flying down. My father looked at me and said, 'well that was fast.'"
"Wait a sec," Kagome interrupted her. "What's the adventure in the story? You are telling us about your every morning." Sango glared at her but started laughing along with Ayame and Kagome.
"Now, let me continue, when we were passing the bus station on the way here, there was a family unloading their stuff from a cab, and there was this little kid like five years old. He was standing there waiting for his family. His mother was in a hurry to go somewhere, and when she threw a bag and it hit him, the boy went flying like a doll!" She started laughing like a maniac receiving two cold stares.
"That isn't funny. I assure the boy didn't laugh.." Kagome protested, but stifling a laugh at imagining the little kid flying from being hit by a bag.
"That's the funny part! His mother picked him up, and he started to laugh!!" The three went laughing for about three minutes until the teacher was in front of them.
"Are you sick or something?"
The three girls laughed more, until the bell rang and they dashed out of the classroom.
"Have you notice that we always are the first ones to go out?" Ayame asked as they walked to their next class, English.
"Yeah, we just can't wait for the next class." Kagome smiled cynically with Sango at her right.
As they headed to building four hundred, violet eyes watched the girl in the middle. He had been watching the group through the whole class. He pretended to be writing and nodding at everything the teacher said, but with the corner of his eye he kept looking at her- err i mean them.
Why were they always laughing at something....or someone? The only thing he understood was that she looked pretty good when she smiled. Nonsense. He also walked towards building four hundred with his friend right behind him.
° . ° ( (another fish!! I'm on a roll here!!)
Kagome and Sango left Ayame in another classroom; she was a level behind in English. When class finished, the first one out waited for the other.
The English room had the chairs in a circle, to make conversation easy. Two seats were in the middle, and the guy with violet eyes sat beside Kagome.
"You are such a sadistic person, Sango. First, you laugh at that poor little kid, and now, you laugh at your cousin's fiancé!!" Kagome tried to look serious.
"How can I not laugh? He was hit by a motorcycle!! What did it target him? How can you get run over by a motorcycle?!" Sango kept laughing.
"She's laughing because a guy was run over by a motorcycle?" The guy beside Kagome asked, looking bored at Sango.
"Yup... I am her friend, right?" She didn't look at him. Kagome was staring at Sango, but the question was directed to him.
"I guess so." He was almost lying on the chair with his eyes closed. It almost seemed as if he was pretending the chair was a bed.
"She's sadistic, and I'm masochist.. Oh, kami." She gave an exasperated sigh.
"Keh!" 'Crazy bitch.'
With their little chat over, the class started.
¤¤¤¤¤Ö (a worm?)
Chemistry was next. There wasn't much about that class. Ayame was banging her head against the desk; Chemistry frustrated her, with all those elements and formulas. She didn't get it.
Sango was doing the exercises very easily, and Kagome was in the middle point; some of them were easy, but on others she needed to ask Sango, and when she explained it to her it always seemed to be a dumb question.
And for the girls' happiness, the break time or lunch time or as they liked to call it 'sleep time' came.
Blue...
Clouds...
More blue...
And more clouds...
The sky...
Twenty minutes. That's the entire break they have, and the best way to use it, is to just lie on the grass outside the buildings or cafeteria. There's also a lot of grass behind the laboratories.
There is no place with grass the girls don't know.
"Kagome. What time is it?" Ayame asked, while staring at the sky.
"Mmm.. 2:30" She had her eyes closed, trying to sleep.
"You didn't open your eyes, how can you know what time is?" Sango asked without looking away from the book she was reading.
"I don't."
[Five minutes later]
"Damn it, Kagome!!! If you had just checked the hour on your cell phone we wouldn't be running!!!" Sango yelled.
"I was sleeping, okay?! Anyway, we are always late..." Kagome muttered, running beside Ayame.
"But if we are late for the third time in this class, we can't present the final test!!"
"It's already the third time!!!" Kagome and Ayame yelled at the same time, both avoiding a group of boys before colliding with them.
"Matte!!! (wait) Don't close the door!"
". ." (it's a bull) u
Couldn't these girls be on time for one class? They are always late!! That's the reason their grades are low.. Maybe that Sango girl is the exception; she is the first place in the class.
"Oi, Inuyasha," Kagome called him from her seat.
"Nani?"
"What CDs you have today? I forgot mine at home.." She smiled a little.
"A-ano." 'Don't stutter, man, she's just a tomboy.' "Come and I'll show you." He grinned.
Every time he could annoy this girl, he didn't lose the chance. She was too stubborn, so a way to annoy her was telling her what to do.
"I should have known you were too lazy to stand up."
"Just like you to get up. I mean, you're never early to the first class."
"It's just cuz I stay up 'till late!!"
"That explains the bags under your eyes." He chuckled.
"You idiot!!" Kagome stood up from her seat and started to walk towards Inuyasha. Her fists were clenched as if she was going to..
"Itai!! You bitch, that hurt!" His hand was on his arm, trying to make the pain go away.
"You hit like a boy!!"
"I'll take that as a compliment" - she took a CD from his bag - "And I'm gonna take this. I'll give it back to you tomorrow." She gave a triumphant smile and walked to where her friends were.
"Stupid girl... She has no manners." He kept staring at her for a while, until the blackboard eraser hit him on the head, thanks to the Math teacher.
Math class was also boring. The teacher explained the same thing like twenty times, but still many students didn't get it. Kagome understood a little and asked Sango or Ayame sometimes. She was the only one with troubles in Math. She had failed both of the exams the teacher had given, one with a seventeen and the other with a thirty-five. When she started the exam everything she had learned was erased from her mind.
"Higurashi," the teacher called her, "can you come here, and you too, Jidai."
"Yeah?" Both Inuyasha and Kagome were in front of her desk, seeing her pull out some papers.
"Look, I know you two are very intelligent people-"
'What is she gonna say?' Kagome thought.
"-but your grades are very low, and... I don't like to do this, but you're going to a special course. It's a review of all the topics we have covered over the past three months. It's going to be helpful for the next test."
"I'm not going. It's not obligatory. Besides, I know everything. I just didn't get the last thing you taught us." Inuyasha slammed his fist on the teacher's desk.
"It is obligatory, and it is for your own good. Besides, you have to take it if you don't want to lose your athletic scholarship."
"Keh!" At that moment the bell rang, and Inuyasha stormed out of the room.
"Miss Higurashi, you seemed to take it very well." She looked at Kagome.
"No, teacher, she is in a shock." Sango and Ayame dragged her out of the room.
Kagome was silent.
