Kagome sat in her last class of the day, bored out of her mind. One minute felt like an hour.

'At least there is only four more days of this torture and then graduation', thought Kagome.

She would be free from this boring institute and never have to step foot in it again.

Lately things sucked for Kagome; she broke up with her long time boyfriend, Hojo. He was sick of her not committing to the relationship like he was, so he went on to greener pastures—the new foreign exchange student named Rachael from the states to be exact.

Hojo left her for another girl. She suspected he had been going behind her back with the new found relationship for a while. Her friends would say they saw him hug her, peck her on the lips, and Erri saw them holding hands at the fair that was downtown; the fair he could not take Kagome to because Hojo had to work. All the facts were there, yet she would not let herself believe it. There had to be a reason he was doing that, right? Maybe they were good friends; friends hug and hold hands….Yuka and Erri must have seen someone else kiss the girl on the lips, it couldn't be Hojo. Hojo was the man who promised to be Kagome's forever, not leave her forever.

They had plans after high school. They were gonna go to the community college; since it was close and cheap and save up enough money to get an apartment together. Those plans that meant so much to each other just a little while ago, were now nothing.

She must have been an awful girlfriend as well because since he had been dating Rachael, she has never seen him happier. There was always a smile on his face and he just looked very content. It made it easier for her to know at least one of them came out happy in this, even if it was the wrong person.

Is was not until after enough tears were shed to fill a lake and all the junk food eaten to feed ten elephants that she realized that all of this was not going to fix anything and if she truly cared for him that seeing him happy should make her happy.

They looked like a cute couple-him with chocolate brown hair and his athletic build and her with her chestnut curled hair and perfect hour-glass figure. Kagome hated the girl because she was so beautiful. Kagome still felt like there was a glitch of hope, but she knew she could never compete with her beauty- this girl had him under her spell.

Of coarse Rachael gave Hojo all of the attention he had been needing.

Kagome did not know why, but she now knew and deep down always knew that something was not right with Hojo and Kagome's relationship, she could never open up. It was as if she did not feel "that" connection. She still hurt though, sure they had been dating for almost two years, why wouldn't she.

She was almost in a way relieved that it was over now.

"If he can leave me for something like this after all we had been through, then maybe it was the right thing after all.", said Kagome.

'I am after all only eighteen years old, I have all the time in the world.', thought Kagome

Mr. Right would come for her one of these days, she was sure—she would just have to wait.

Class finally was let out and Kagome headed down the hall towards her locker. When she opened it she saw Hojo's jacket in there.

"Damn, I forgot to give him this back", said Kagome.

She did have to admit, she missed the smell of it, it was of that masculine smell that she had come to know as Hojo.

Yuka, Erri, and Ayumi walked up just as she was clutching onto her now ex-boyfriend's jacket, with curiosity in their eyes.

"Why do you still have Hojo's jacket? Are you two dating again?", asked Erri.

Just as Kagome was about to answer, Hojo and his new girlfriend came up to Kagome's locker. They each had one of their hands on the other's butt as if they were the only ones that mattered.

'That's what Hojo wanted me to do? That is disgusting.', Kagome thought to herself.

He went right up to Kagome, with his hand still on Rachael's butt and snatched his coat.

"I will be needing this.", he said with a cocky tone to his voice as he placed it around the new girl's shoulders and gave her a kiss.

The girl was all giggles. Kagome really hated him at this moment. They walked away hand-in-hand.

Kagome anger quickly faded into pain, 'Why did he do that?', thought Kagome. 'I guess I mean nothing to him. As her eyes got glossy.

' No, It's for the best, it is for the best, it is for the best, she kept repeating in her mind.'

"It must be hard.", said Yuka.

"Sometimes, but I will be fine soon.", Kagome choked out.

This was harder than she thought it was going to be. It was kind of lonely not having a boyfriend anymore, Kagome got used to it and missed the feeling of someone being there for her.

"Hey, I know what will cheer you up", said Ayumi. Let's go shopping! That always cheers a girl up."

"Sounds like a plan Ayumi, let me quick call my Mom and tell her quick though.", said Kagome.
