Chapter 8

Nine Years Later . . .

They all had been together in school except for high school. Charlie decided that she should go to the high school that he had, Fork's High School. It was a grand high school or at least that he remembered. He hadn't been in school for about seventeen years. That's a long time in my book. He remembered the school walls were painted white with stripes of: blue and green, the floor with black and white tiles. He hadn't known if it had really changed that much but he would ask Kagome when she gets home that afternoon.

Meanwhile, at the school, Kagome first day of the ninth grade was hectic. She kept getting lost and there was no control of where she was going. She was lucky that she made it to homeroom in time. The school was huge! The floor had all white tiles and the walls were just plain white; no color to them. The school looked absolutely boring to her. Though she had made a mew friend. Her name was Angela. She had offered to help show her around the school and all. All that morning, news of a Edward Cullen went around the school like hay fire.

Ninth grade was looking up for her. The class she was going to was Biology. She would be sharing a class with the infamous Edward Cullen. She thought that he was cute but not better looking than her Jacob. She had seen him in the hallways. He had looked at her funny and waved; somewhat. Now she walked along the long narrow high school halls. For a big building it sure did have small bathrooms and halls and most importantly lockers. It was hard to put her backpack into the damn thing. She opened the door to the Biology room and took her seat. Next to her sat Edward Cullen.

How lucky for her.

She looked over and said, "Hi."

He did not respond.

She waved her hand in front of his face.

"What're you doing," he asked.

"Trying to get you to respond," she replied with a smirk.

"Hello," he said and then looked ahead at the board.

I guess he's never going to talk to me again, well it doesn't matter anyway she thought. Her eyes looked at the board. The teacher had already placed the homework assignments on the board. She was doomed. Doomed, I say. DOOMED! She had already about twenty different assignments to do. Now she had about fifty more to do. Things were looking worse than usual. The status quo has been broken. Her life was in the pits and she didn't even know if she was going to live or not.

She slowly began to breathe normal again. The teacher walked in and sat down at the desk in front of them. "Hello class, I'm Mr. Jones, nice to meet you all. I will now start attendance, so when I say your name please respond with 'here'," the teacher said as he held the clipboard up to his face and began to read the names aloud. In about five minuets, he had gone through half of the class and still hadn't called her yet. "Kagome Higurashi," he finally read aloud.

She looked at him and blinked.

"Here," she replied.

Class went well, she guessed. She kept staring out the window. Her sense etched in mystery. She didn't know high school would be like this and why Jacob, Embry, and Quil weren't there. She wished they were but that was never going to happen. Kagome forcefully turned her head to look at the board. In so, she cracked her neck. The boy that sat next to her looked her dead in the eyes.

"Are you all right," he asked.

She looked into his golden eyes and began to wonder why he even cared. He had hated her when she tried to say hello, so why was he wondering if she was okay or not. This mystified her even more.

"I'm ok. Thanks for asking," she replied.

"No problem."

After that comment, Kagome was afraid of even talking at all. The guy had an eerie feeling to her. She turned around and looked at the front. Trying not to have him be distracted by her, again. She learned some pretty interesting things about her teacher. First of all, he had a zero tolerance policy and would not tolerate bullying. That sounded right to her. But every so few moments, she would begin to think about Jacob. She knew that she had feelings for him bit would he ever return them was the question that paralyzed her mind. Her eyes continued to dart around the room, wondering when this class was going to end. It was too long. This class was boring.

Three minuets later, the bell rang. Kagome gathered up her stuff and left. She held her schedule and a map. The next class she had was math, the one thing she dreaded the most other than the class she was just in. Which was science. She walked carefully and quickly to her next class. She had to keep looking at the map again and the classroom number but she knew that she was on her way to the right class. She came close to walking into another class. But she quickly turned around and headed onto the right class.

"Are you lost," asked a voice from beside her.

She looked behind to see an Asian boy with a camera. He was taking snap shots of her. "No, not really and why're taking pictures of me," she replied.

She looked to see that he had bright chocolate brown eyes and a sharp smile. He reminded her of someone she thought she knew but she let it go. She also noticed that he had long hair stopped at his shoulders.

"I dunno know. Just want to make memories while I can," he said. "By the way, my name's Eric, you?"

"Kagome, its nice to meet you," she replied.

"Ditto. So where you headed to?"

"Math."

"With Mrs. Cleo?"

"Yeah, why," she asked with a brow raised.

"I'm headed there, you wanna go together?"

"Sure," she replied as she walked beside him to her next class.

He pointed out things about the school was they walked. They finally made it to the class that they were supposed to go to. When they got there, they found out that they sat next to each other. They joked around the whole entire time they were in the class. Mrs. Cleo didn't mind. She just smirked and continued on and on what she had to say. Though she had to tell them to be quiet a couple of times. Other than that the class went by fast.

They walked out and were laughing. "Where are you going now," he asked.

"English, you?"

"Science. Well I guess I'll see you at lunch."

"Ok, bye."

"Bye, 'Gome," he replied with a large smile and walked off.

She smiled and waved back.

She walked off to English. This class was one of the easiest that she had. The next teacher was Mr. Ireland. She prayed that he was as fun as her previous teacher. She smiled to herself and continued on to class. When she got there, she noticed that Edward was in yet another one of her classes. She frowned. She walked over to the seating chart and frowned again. She had to sit next to him yet again. The guy gave her the creeps.

"Hello, again," he said.

"Hello to you too," she replied yet again.

Would he ever go away, perhaps not?

She looked and saw that he had golden eyes. It was a strange color for anyone to have. She looked at the teacher. This teacher had short, mopped blonde hair and forest green eyes. His eyes were what caught Kagome at first. Then she noticed that he had on glasses and looked to be around the age of twenty-four. Which was pretty young for any teacher but she knew that perhaps he would become her favorite teacher out of them all.

"Okay, class. Let's begin hmmm," the teacher said as he held a book in one hand, looking all poetic and stuff. He sort of reminded her of the sculpture, the 'Thinker'. She smiled and continued to look forward. He went on and on about who and what he was. She had no problem with that. Then he talked about how the class was going to go and so on. She couldn't help but stare into his eyes. She looked to her right and saw that Edward was staring at her, as if he was amused by her actions.

"What're looking at," she asked.

"You," he replied.

"Why?"

"I don't know," he replied as he turned around.

She looked at him and suddenly felt as if she had done something terribly wrong.

"I'm sorry."

He looked at her and said,"You have nothing to apologize about. My name is Edward. Yours?"

"Kagome. Would you like to be friends?"

He smiled, somewhat. "Sure."

About a quarter to one, the bell rang. Which signaled that lunch was right around the corner. She got up and walked to the door and began to walk down the hallway. Edward was beside her. They both walked in absolute silence. Eric ran up from behind and started to tickle her. She laughed. Edward looked at him funny.

"What're you doing," he asked.

Eric looked at him and said, "Messing around."

"Ok."

"So Kagome, what're you going to eat," asked Eric.

"I don't know. Plus I haven't seen what they were serving. So how would I know?"

"Are you a psychic?"

"No."

"Can you read my mind?"

"No."

"I know what's for lunch."

"Then tell me!"

"No."

She turned to him. "Is this the cafeteria," she asked as she looked around.

"Sure is."

"Its pretty big."

"Not really. Our rival school, Forest Green has the biggest cafeteria in the county."

"And how would you know this?"

"One of my friends goes there. They told and its been proved."

"I believe you then."

"You know what you're going to have now?"

"Yeah, spaghetti."

"Ah, you have shamed the taco!" Eric exclaimed.

"Have not."

"Have to."

"Have not."

"Have not."

"Have to," she said. "Ah, you got me. So where are we going to sit?"

"With Angela, Mike, and Jessica. That alright with you?"

"Sure. I already know Angela."

"That's good, so maybe you'll end up liking Mike and Jessica to!"

"So optimistic."

"Sure am," he replied as he walked over to his seat and sat down.

She decided to sit down next to him. She saw that Edward was staring at her. She waved and watched as he waved back. She continued to eat her lunch and talk with the people that were currently sitting in front of her. Mike and Jessica became the long lost friends she never knew she had. She finished and was off to P.E. Everything was smooth sailing from there on out.

The day passed on quite quickly. Kagome went home and fell asleep. Not even bothered that she had a lot of homework. She just dozed off without a care in the world.

A/N: Good first day, right? I edited and hoped you all liked it. If there is anything that you could like to see happen let me know. Also, I have changed my username.
