Chapter 1: The New Guy

Kagome walked to school with her best friends, Rin and Sango. The three girls laughed all the way towards school. Kagome and her friends were the most popular of the entire school. Everyone wanted to be like them. All the guys wanted to date them. Even the teachers liked them. Everyone knew them as the Roses of Naroka High School. Kagome and her friends walked through the doors and were met by desperate girls wanting be their friends. Kagome just looked at them and walked towards her locker.

"Hey good lookin'!" Miroku walked over towards the group and put his arm around Sango. "Hey Babe, how have you been? Miss me much?"

Sango ignored her boyfriend and scooted closer to Kagome. "Hey, have you heard?" She looked at Rin and Kagome before going on. "There's a new guy."

Kagome looked surprised. "Really? Total hottie or total wannabe?" She gave Sango a know-it-all stare.

Rin nodded. "I totally heard about him. They say, he's a math genius and science geek. But, from the chit-chat girls over there…" She pointed across the hall at the girls who were desperately trying to steal their style. "they were SO eyeing him in the science lab and then spreading rumors that he's a total hottie. I don't know about them, but he sounds like a total wannabe if he's going to be playing with math and science."

Sango smirked. "Well, if you really wanna a look. Look over at the loser section of the lockers." Kagome and Rin turned around and spotted the new guy. His hair was white blonde-ish looking color and her wore a bandana on top of his head. His clothes was a plain red shirt with jeans.

Kagome turned around, knowing her boyfriend will kill her for staring at him. "Whatever, he's a total wannabe."

"Hey!" Kagome turned to face her boyfriend, Koga. "Hey baby. What are you doing?" Koga put her arms around her and rested them on her lower back.

"Just hangin' with my friends." She turned around to face them. "O-nay ore-may bout-ay he-ay ew-nay uy-gay." She spoke to her friends in fast pig Latin. They both looked away and conversed with themselves. "So…" Kagome turned back to Koga. "How have you been since Friday? You didn't call or answer her cell. What have you been doing?"

Koga blew it off. "Nothing, just hanging out with my boys. We had a game of b-ball and football." He looked over at Ayame and flashed his smile. Kagome looked over at her and noticed that she wasn't drooling over him. "Plus…" Kagome withdrew her attention from Ayame and back to Koga. "My parents had a "crisis" and didn't want me to go anywhere. So I couldn't hang out with you." He was staring her in the eyes, promising he wasn't lying with his eyes.

Kagome just smiled. "It's okay." She moved her head in a seesaw motion. "It's not your fault. We have all week to hang out." She moved closer to him. "And maybe this weekend, you could come over. My dad will be out of town and my little brother is going to a camp field trip with his class. Maybe you could…" She looked up at him seductively. "spend the night on Friday…" She pulled him towards her and kissed him.

Koga smiled. "I'll have to check my calendar." The bell rang and everyone stared to head-off to first period. "Lunch? Same spot?"

"I'll be there." She turned back to her locker and her friends. She grabbed her books and walked down the hall to English.

Kagome and her friends walked down the steps in front of the school. "Can you believe it! We have all our classes together!" Sango exclaimed. "But, you know what else I noticed?" Kagome and Rin looked at her. "We also have them with the new guy."

"Yeah, so, what's your point?" Rin looked Sango with an odd expression. "He's a total wannabe. Who cares?" Sango shrugged her shoulders as they walked down her street.

"Catch you guys later, call me?" Kagome nodded at Sango. "Yeah, I'll do a three-way with you and Rin."

"Later, Sango!" Rin turned back to Kagome. "Do you think she's on to something?" Kagome shook her head. "Ok, ok, I'll drop it then."

Both girls talked on about teachers and kids who totally messed up on everything and how all the freshman looked so scared. They both stopped once they reached Kagome's street. "See you tomorrow, Rin?"

Rin smiled at her, "We'll be talking tonight. Call around 8. We can get a good two hours before my curfew."

"Ok, tonight then. Later." Kagome walked down from the corner and headed towards the big house in the middle of the houses.
