The Grade Race
Chapter One
Sango ignored the new person beside her, then finally she looked over to him. "Excuse me, would you happen to know the student who ranked number one?" He looked over at her, and then he glanced at the results board. He turned back to Sango and grinned broadly. "That student would be me." Sango's eyes grew to the size of dinner plates, and her face flushed.
Miroku grinned at the stunned face of the girl in front of him. He assumed by her reaction and the way she looked that this was the legendary Sango Omou. A large group of girls had gathered to chat in his last period to chat, and he had heard bits of their conversation. He picked up things like, "She's so beautiful! And she's a genius! I wish I could be like her! She's perfect! I'm going to ask Sango-san to help me with my algebra homework!"
That had been the first time he had heard her name. The girls' gossip had intrigued him, and he couldn't wait to find Sango and meet her. Now she was standing before him, all her guards down. The legendary Sango was in shock. Their comment about her beauty was completely true, Miroku mused.
Her silky dark brown hair was long, and slightly frazzled looking as it fell over her shoulders. Her plum colored shirt complimented her black jeans, and petite pink glasses framed her face cutely. Her hazel eyes flared with fury and shock. "Glad to have some competition, Sango." Sango ripped off her glasses and squinted at Miroku, her eyes inquiring whether he was really saying that. He simply shrugged and walked off.
Sango's hand flew to her mouth, and she screamed into it, then turned and went to retrieve her backpack.
Kagome jumped up to greet Sango as she grudgingly made her way to their lockers. "Hey, Sango! I've got some great news! You remember my IM pen pal, Inuyasha!" Sango barely acknowledged her best friend as she slung her backpack over her shoulder. "Yeah? And?" Kagome jumped from one foot to another as the two walked out of the building.
"Well, he moved here last month, and he's invited me over for a study date! He's going to have another guy friend over, so he said I could invite one of my friends! And that friend is you!" Sango grimaced inside. She really didn't want to do schoolwork with any more new people.
But Sango glanced briefly at Kagome, and the corners of her mouth stretched up in a forced smile. "Sure, Kagome. Sounds like fun." Kagome grinned from ear to ear. "Great! So, I'll see you at 5:00 p.m.! We'll go from there!" Sango waved in response and the two girls walked off to their separate cars.
Yeah, I know; short chapter! Please forgive me! I was originally writing this in a composition notebook before I typed it, and I write kind of big so it looked longer than it was. I promise they will get longer. Oh, by the way, how about pressing that little lavender button down there that says 'go'? You know, just for fun.
