Thank you to all of you who reviewed:

kirstyn:

yes you are really and truly like that at school. just maybe a little more dramatic.

shoesr4losers:

no, kagome is not a loser or a nerd or a dork, it's just that she feels a little invisable to inuyasha. don't we all seem a little invisible to our crushes.

skatecrew:

thank you so much! i'm glad that you like my "high school is overrated and overused" story. hope read and review this next chapter.

Learning to Let Go

Just and Acquaintance

Kagome held her breath as the hanyou approached the table.

"Hey! Miroku! Get over here you dumb ass!" Inuyasha called.

Oh thank you God! Kagome thought as she breathed a sigh of relief. She looked at Sango and popped her eyebrows. "What?" Sango shook her head.

"Nothing."

"No seriously. What?"

"Okay, but promise not to yell?" Kagome nodded.

"Cross my miko heart."

"I think you should look in a mirror." There was silence between the two girls.

"Are you going to finish that?" Ayame asked Rin in the background.

"What do you mean?" Kagome finally asked.

"You tell me."

"Am I really that red?" Sango reluctantly nodded. Kagome got up and started packing up her things. "Cummon Sango. We're going up to my locker."

Please don't let him be up here, Kagome pleaded to herself.

"Earth to Kagome! Gonna open you're locker or not?" Kagome snapped out of her daze. She grabbed the lock.

"26-3-29" she said quieter than a whisper. The lock clicked open and she opened her locker. The door swung open and immediately Kagome looked in the mirror.

"Ohmigosh! I am red!" Kagome squealed.

"I told you so, but does anyone ever listen to Sango? No ma'am." Sango sighed slash whined.

"But why? Why do I do this?" Kagome asked, ignoring what Sango had said. "Why? Why, why, why me?"

"Well that's a no brainer. You freakin' have freakin' feelings for that freakin' hanyou! That's why!" Kagome was stunned because one, that was the most amount of "freakin'"'s that Sango had ever used in one sentence, and two, maybe it was true. Maybe she did have feelings for Inuyasha.

"Face it, Kag, even if he is brainless jock, who has a possessive girlfriend, you sill are falling heart over mink for him. Deny it as much as you want but eventually, you'll have to do something about it."

She's right, Kagome thought. Maybe if I just keep my mouth shut, my feelings will just fade away.

"Um Kagome, you're ah... blushing," Sango said as she eyed a certain hanyou as he came up the stairs with a certain monk. "So how 'bout we go down to my locker now?"

"Why?" Kagome asked. "We just got up here."

"I know, but I think the longer you stay up here, the more you'll start blushing."

"He's up here isn't he." Kagome said flatly. Sango nodded. "Okay... Let's go!" Kagome closed and locker her locker. The two girls dashed down the hall and around the corner as they headed for Sango's locker on the bottom floor.
