Kagome waited for the sneers and jabs as everyone filed into the chorus room. As she expected, the girls stuck their noses in the air as they walked by her. What they didn't know is she considered it a relief that they didn't talk to her. They never did before, but she was happy to see that wouldn't change.
Most people hated her in this class because her voice was more matured than any of theirs. It wasn't her fault that singing came so easy to her and that God blessed her with her voice. They didn't know that she sang not for herself, but for those who haven't seen very much good in life and need some direction. Her songs mainly consisted of feel good stuff, never give up, don't let the world get you down, things of that nature.
Class began as usual with warm-ups and the choral music they'd been practicing for Festival. The way the chairs were set up was on step benches, so they could simulate the way they would stand at a concert. They all sat singing when Kagome felt someone kick her lower back! Thinking it an accident, she just ignored it, that is until it happened a second, third, then fourth time! Each jab of the pointy heel into her back escalated in force. Finally the fifth one was so strong that Kagome gasped as she felt the forming of a bruise on her tender flesh.
She turned around and looked into the bitchy eyes of, Kassandra with a 'K', they royal bitch that had to be the best at everything, including gossiper and all time slut.
" Would you mind not kicking a whole in my back?!"
Kassandra sneered as she regarded the lower class girl, " you deserve what you get, half-breed lover!"
Kagome stood up as everyone stopped singing and stared. She looked out at them.
" Yes! I admit it! I'm a hanyou lover! If anyone has an issue with that tell me now! But just to let all of you know, I don't give a damn about what any of you think!"
Teachers weren't supposed to be prejudice, but just about every one of them hated hanyous as much as the students. The chorus teacher was no different. Kagome was sent to the principal's office for saying 'damn' and interrupting class. She walked down the hall with her head held high, trying to ignore the pain in her lower back.
