Love Me

Chapter 3: The Same Different Chill

(Kagome went to her class as she was instructed even though she'd be early. She entered the class room and handed her teacher her homework and took her seat by the window. She waited for the class to fill and to begin but it wouldn't for another ten minutes so she had time to herself to think. Her cell phone rang quietly, disturbing her thoughts. It was Miroku. He had believed she loved him as he loved her. But how can you love someone when you don't even know what love is? She answered her phone)

Kagome: Hi Miroku. How are you?

Miroku: I'm fine Kagome, but I have some bad news I'm afraid.

Kagome: What is it?

Miroku: I won't be able to make it this Friday…I am so sorry! I'll make it up to you I promise.

Kagome: 'yes!' It's alright Miroku…I'm sure it's really important whatever it is that you have to cancel our date for…

(She told him, pretending to sound disappointed)

Miroku: well it's really not…Kouga just got our band a gig downtown…

Kagome: I understand…

(Forced sigh)

Miroku: I'll make it up to you I promise…or maybe I'll just let the guys go without me? You're more important then that silly band anyway…

Kagome: no, you made a commitment to the guys…you shouldn't abandon them because of me… 'Plus I really need to be alone this Friday…'

Miroku: you're right Kagome, but as soon as I get back-

Kagome: you'll make it up to me. I know.

Miroku: ok well I better let you go I know you still have class so I'll talk to you later…ok?

Kagome: ok…bye Miroku.

Miroku: good bye Kagome.

(She was about to hang up but then Miroku called to her loudly)

Kagome: yes?

Miroku: I love you…

Kagome: 'oh, boy,' I love you too……

(They hung up and left her feeling really bad. She was leading him on and she knew it but there wasn't anything she could really do. She tried to call it off once before but he wouldn't let go, he sent her gifts everyday asking her to forgive him for whatever it was he did. So she was stuck either way.)

Keade: Ms. Higurashi no more phone calls before or during class. Do I make myself clear?

Kagome: yes ma'am.

(It was still a while before class started but people had begun to fill the classroom so she looked around to see who was all in class already. Her eyes landed on a boy with silver hair sitting in the front. She had never seen him before and she was curious. She turned to Sango behind her and asked.)

Kagome: Who's that?

Sango: Who?

Kagome: That guy over there, the one with the silver hair…

Sango: Don't know….must be new…?

(Kagome turned back to her desk and tried not to think about him, but her eyes drifted over to him and found him staring back at her with his beautiful amber eyes. He smiled sent a chill go down her spine, and he hadn't even touched her! She found herself smiling back, she tried to looked away quickly but found it so hard to do. They were just so beautiful when she finally looked away she found herself covered with goose bumps.  Whatever chill that was running all over her body was definitely a good one.)
