"I don't see what the big deal is, he's just a guy." Kagome says in an irritated tone.
"Yeah, but that's Emmett Cullen." Angela says.
"So, I don't care who he is, I don't like anyone not using my real name." Kagome says as she and the girls enter the classroom.
The girls go that their seats while Kagome goes to the teacher, introduces herself and hands him her schedule. He initials it, hands her a math book and tells her to take a seat next to Mike Newton.
"Mr. Newton raise your hand, please."
Mike stares at Kagome as he raises his hand, she smiles at him causing him to blush. She goes and sits next to him and introduces herself.
"Hi, I'm Kagome.
"Hi, I'm Mike, it's nice to meet you, Kagome."
"It's nice to meet you too, Mike."
The girl in the seat front of Mike turns around, looked Kagome up and down then introduces herself.
"I'm Jessica."
"Hello, Jessica, it's nice to meet you. Kagome says with a smile.
Jessica returns it with a fake smile.
The classroom continues to fill and right before the bell rings in walks Alice Jasper, Edward and Emmett. Emmett brightens when he sees that Kagome is in the same class, he gives her a wink. Kagome runs her hand over her face in frustration.
Jessica turns to Kagome, "You know Emmett Cullen?"
"Unfortunately, yes, I met him this morning and he's in my English class." Kagome tells her.
She looks behind her and notices that Emmett is staring at her, he gives her a big dimpled smile and winks at her again causing Kagome to narrow her eyes at him. Emmett chuckles at her reaction, infuriating Kagome even more.
"You're just making her mad, Emmett." Jasper tells him.
"Yeah, I know, she looks so cute when she's angry." Emmett tells his brother.
Jasper sighs and shakes his head, this was not going to end well.
All throughout class, Kagome tries to concentrate on the lesson, but she could feel Emmett's eyes burning into the back of her head. She was so tempted to turn around and ask him what his problem was, but she controlled her temper. The minute class was over, she bolted from the class. She almost went back to yell at Emmett when she heard him chuckle.
As she walks down the hall looking at the map to find her next class, she hears someone call her name.
"Hey, Kagome!"
Kagome turns and see Mike running down the hall to catch up with her, she stops to wait for him.
"Hi, Mike, what's up."
"I didn't get a chance to ask you what your next class is."
"Oh, it's gym class, I was just looking at the map to see where the gym was."
"I have gym next too, I'll walk you there." Mike said with a grin.
"Great, let's go then." Kagome says to him as they walk out of the building together.
They walked into the gym and Mike tells her where the girls locker room is, Kagome thanks him and goes to suit out. When she comes out she notices that Emmett is also in her gym class, along with Alice. She sighs and rolls her eyes, this was going to be a long class.
Emmett was talking with Alice when he caught Kagome's scent when she entered the gym, his head automatically snapped up and he smiled at the sight of her in shorts and a t-shirt. Alice turns and waves at Kagome which she returns, but when Emmett does the same thing she completely ignores him causing Emmett to laugh.
"Why are you acting this way?" Alice asks him.
"I'm just having a bit of fun." Emmett tells her.
"Well, stop it, you're acting like a jerk. You think she's going to be interested in you if you keep acting like this?"
"Of course she will, I'm irresistable." Emmett says with a cocky grin.
But his face falls a little when he sees that Kagome walks up to Mike and begins a conversation with him. As Kagome starts to stretch a low growl begins to build in Emmett's chest when he notices that Mike is staring at Kagome's ass. Alice puts her hand on Emmett's arm and give him a look.
"Calm down, Emmett." She whispers to him.
Emmett takes a deep breath, trying to control his irritation. By that time coach Clapp comes into the gym and calls the class to order. He takes roll, initials Kagome's schedule then has the students do laps around the gym. Once they finish their laps he announces that they were now going to start archery lessons.
Kagome's eyes light up at the prospect of doing archery, while she was waiting for her paperwork to get processed to come to America, Kagome had joined the local Kyūdō club in order to keep her archery skill sharp. She wasn't sure that she would ever be able to do archery in America again so she was delighted that the school offered it.
Coach Clapp had Emmett and some other boys help him set up the targets on the other side of the gym. Once everything was set up the coach asked if anyone had ever used a bow and arrow before, Kagome's hand shot up, much to Alice and Emmett's surprise.
"Yes, Miss Higurashi."
"I was on the local Kyūdō team in Japan." Kagome tells him.
Coach Clapp looks at her impressed, "For those of you who do not know what that is, Kyūdō is the Japanese martial art of archery. Well, then, Miss Higurashi, why don't you show us your skills."
Kagome walks over to the coach and takes the modern bow from him, she inspects it for a moment to familiarize herself with it then takes her stance in front of the target. Taking aim with the arrow, Kagome takes a deep breath and looses the arrow, and hits the bulls eye. The entire class is silent until Emmett starts cheering and clapping, soon the rest of the class follows his example.
Coach Clapp pats Kagome on the back, "Very good, Miss Higurashi."
Kagome frowns, "Not really, it's off center, I'm not used to using this type of bow, do you think tomorrow I could bring my own?"
"Yeah, sure, maybe you'd be interested in joining our archery club."
"Sure, as long as I can use my own bow."
Coach Clapp tells her that it wouldn't be a problem, after their conversation, he asks Kagome help him with some of the other students that are having trouble with their archery. Kagome gladly agrees to help, she spends a lot of time helping Mike, Eric, Angela and Jessica, even though Jessica insisted she could do it herself. She also corrected Alice stance a little so that she could hit the target more accurately.
Emmett on the other hand didn't need any help, he was doing perfectly fine on his own, each time he loosed an arrow he kept getting closer and closer to hitting the bull's eye. By the end of class, Emmett had hit the bull's eye at least once.
He gave Kagome a smug smile, "How's that, Kagome?"
"That's pretty good, Emmett," She said as she walked away.
The suddenly she turned around loosed an arrow that whizzed right by his head causing Emmett to duck. It hit the bull's eye and split his arrow in two, she smiled a wicked smile at him.
"But I'm better." She says as she walks out of the gym.
Emmett stares at her then looks at the target, then back at where Kagome had gone, he smiles and sighs.
"What a woman." Then he walks out of the gym.
