Today Is the Day

Kagome excitedly jumped out of her Mom's new van and took off, straight for the front door of the school. For the first time, she was happy to be at school, to get to smell the scent of fresh, new textbooks. Today was her day to show the school who she really was.

"Good morning, Mrs. Livana, you look gorgeous today," Kagome sung.

She sat in her seat next to Inuyasha.

"Hello, Inuyasha. How are you on this magnificent morning?" Kagome smiled confidently.

"Hi, Kagome,"

'Oh my gosh, is he gorgeous or what?!'

"Students, please take out the book under your desk and read pages 1-25," Mrs. Livana sighed.

Immediately, the kids took out all of their books and started reading, but Kagome sat dreaming of her classroom neighbor.

'Does he like me? Did he look at me? Does he want to be my friend?'

When Kagome thought, she thought big. The only problem with that was:

She wasn't paying attention

Mrs. Livana was watching the kids like a hawk on the hunt.

After she noticed that Inuyasha wasn't paying attention to her anymore, she turned away and started reading her book. She looked to her other neighbor. They were on page 25. Almost everyone was done except her. She had to really hurry. She skimmed through pages 1-25, but did not receive any information. She really wanted to pass the class, but if she can't just read pages 1-25 without missing information, she is not going to go far.

"Do you have a problem, Kagome?" Mrs. Livana stared down at Kagome's book.

"Um…..no," Kagome replied.

"Continue reading…….." Mrs. Livana knew that Kagome didn't start yet. She always embarrassed the students whenever she got the chance. Being shallow was not surprising when it came to a good looking female like Mrs. Livana.

"Now, class, let's discuss the pages we read. Okay, Kagome, what were they about?" She smiled ferociously.

"They were about skin cells and their formations," Kagome answered confidently.

"That's correct……." You could tell that Mrs. Livana wanted Kagome to answer incorrectly. 'What a boob!' Kagome snickered to herself.

"Is something amusing, Ms. Kagome? You seem to be having such a jolly time over there. Care to share with the class?" Mrs. Livana hissed.

Without a thought, Kagome explained that she thought the disappointment that was displayed in Mrs. Livana's face amused her. Of course, everyone laughed except one obvious person, Mrs. Livana.

'Bad idea, Kagome, bad idea….'

The bell rang, and Kagome thoughtfully left the classroom. She immediately felt a warm hand grasp her shoulder. She turned her head fiercely. A wild smile greeted her.

"I have seen you around, Kagome." It was Inuyasha, her fantasy boy.

"Oh, really?"

'Kagome, you got to keep it cool. Don't blow it!'

"You seem like a real trouble maker!" He waited for her mouth to mutter the answer he was waiting for.

"Uh, I am not---"Kagome was stopped in mid sentence.

"I know you're not a good girl. And I like that….." Inuyasha gave her a sexy wink and turned to socialize with his boy buddies.

'At least I kept it cool, I guess, maybe? Uh…..okay, I wasn't as cool as I wanted to be…But at least I got to talk to the absolute cutest guy in school!'

Kagome grabbed a milk pint and uncomfortably sat at a small cafeteria table, away from the nerds, popular people, jocks, and cheerleaders. Trouble was not at all on her list of priorities. A blonde girl plopped down next to her, wordlessly.

"Hi. My name is Victoria, and I am new." This girl seemed really mysterious from Kagome's point of view.

"Hello, Victoria," Kagome said in reply. A second later, Kagome was examining her like a specimen under a microscope. The girl seemed flawless. Curvy hips, lovely lips, blonde hair, acne free skin, and thin characteristics made this girl look absolutely unreal. Kagome was super interested in this girl's background story. Kagome took a big sip of her 1 milk drink. Yum!

Unexpectedly, the lunch bell rang and the students ran furiously towards the single cafeteria door.

"I think we ought to leave," Victoria sighed.

The girls picked up their trash, threw it away, and charged for the door to what was called Home Economics.

As the pupils poured into the classroom, a tall, stud type of guy around his 20s entered the room. Immediately, all the girls were throwing their kissy faces at him. Of course, the guys were giving the guy a hard time. Poking at him, throwing airplanes, and talking back was just a few reactions from the male circle of the room.

"Hello, class," The new dude began, "My name is Mr. Seyon, but you may call me by my first name, Dan," Dan glided over to the board and shot a smile at the audience.

"I know that yesterday I had a substitute, so we are going to be trying a new project today. I am going to assign each of you a partner and you are going to have to take care of a baby for the week. Now I want you to take care of the baby like a real child," Mr. Seyon distributed some supplies out to the children. "But here is the catch; you have to make the baby first."

All of the kids nodded in agreement.

"Okay, begin."

The students simultaneously grabbed the stuffing and sewing needles.

"Okay, while you are doing that, I am going to assign your partners," Mr. Seyon looked around. "Okay, Anko with Mark, Kagome with Inuyasha, and Amanda with Kyle. Let's go people!"

Kagome strutted over to where Inuyasha and the boys were chilling and leaned over their table angelically. "I guess we are working together, Inuyasha," She stroked his cheek with her young hand and walked away confidently. The guys around Inuyasha were absolutely shocked.

"How do you know that girl? She's gorgeous!" One of the guys motioned to him.

"She is a friend of mine," Inuyasha took any chance to brag.

A guy whistled excitedly after Kagome.

'Wow that was really fun.'

Inuyasha came and sat next to Kagome.

"Do you know how beautiful you are?" Inuyasha said in a slick tone.

"Aw, you are just too adorable, Inuyasha," Now was her chance. She leaned into him, closed her eyes, and kissed him sweetly on the nose. He perked up almost automatically. He was literally speechless. He suddenly turned his eyes back to his doll and kept designing.

'You did it, Kagome, you have the magic charm!'

Kagome ran over to the bulletin board and scanned the after school activity section. 'Math Club? Too geeky…..Dance Classes? Too complicated……..Cheerleading? Sounds fun!'

Kagome grabbed the flyer and stuffed it into the smallest pocket of her pink, Jan Sport backpack.
