AN: Yay! Next chapter!
雨のように見えた (Looks like Rain)
II : 退屈が私をつかまえれば
When we finally got on the bus, ironically we had no other seats except next to each other.
He stared ahead into nothingness while I stared somewhat absent minded at, not out, the window.
He was rather silent.
He hadn't said anything other than ask what time the earliest bus comes after school.
Personally I think I enjoyed relishing the silence. I don't enjoy talking often, maybe because I don't speak to people often. I'm not the social outcast, nor am the girl whom everybody knows, I'm just me.
I just happen to be there.
The bus jerked to a stop suddenly.
Idiot bus driver drove a good 20 feet from the bus stop.
Nice going, you ass.
I stood up exiting at the far end of the bus the boy in front of me of course.
My school wasn't anything special, at least to me.
Roughly it had around 2500 students and the average for in coming freshmen was about 500 kids. Of course it was like any other high school social wise: geeks, jocks, cheerleaders the works.
Luckily I fit nowhere in that system.
It was a large school, a gigantic school, a top notch school.
It was one of the top high schools around and it cost an arm and a leg to get here.
So this is the part where you wonder how little ole' Kagome got here, Scholarship.
I got an academic scholarship, for all subjects. Aren't I smart! I say this smiling through gritted teeth.
A lot of people say 'scholarship' and dance around the syllables in the word. I don't, I twitch.
Why?
Because of this people expect more of me. The teachers label me, the smart kid who could do better if she wants to. But guess what I don't. I don't want to be this super smart girl who is loved by teachers and staff alike yet hated by the other 2499 students.
I stared down at my watch as I went through the entrance doors.
I went left and he went right, he was heading the wrong way, since he was going to the office.
I worked my lips into a frown.
Why was I so concerned? When did I care?
I didn't care. At least I don't think I do.
Either way I called out to him. "Hey! Guy!"
I sounded like an idiot yet you still turned around to look at me.
"You're heading the wrong way if you're going to the office." I said.
You looked at me, staring intensely.
Looking back now I think you knew exactly where you were going.
But you just walked towards me and said, "I see."
I offered to take you to office and you nodded.
I smiled slightly.
And we walked together down the horribly painted, brown and orange halls of Murasaki High.
In some ways, secret ways, we held each other's hand.
You're just a stranger who showed up in rain at the bus stop.
When we finally reached the office the first comment I heard was, "Goodness me! You guys are soaked!"
An annoying little thing the secretary was. She wore a button on her yellow and burgundy sweater, that had one to many grease stains by the way, that said smile because God loves you. And her name was Alberta Lackmorsey, our school secretary! Isn't that great!
…. ..Yeah….feel the enthusiasm…..
I'm notTohru Honda, as much as I love her as a character, I hate her as well.
You could say I'm jealous of her happiness, which I am not.
But the truth is that I hate people all happy smiley like.
"You must be the new student!" said Alberta. "What's your name?"
"Sesshomaru Inu-Taishio." So the newbie has a name.
"Oh I see…I'm sorry about your father." She said.
Sesshomaru rolled his eyes when the secretary turned around.
Some thing told me to leave, but curiosity got the better of me.
The secretary spun around in her chair having retrieved a paper of sort from the monster of mess that had a sticky note on it labeled "Inu-Taishio schedule."
"I have your schedule and Kagome here will show you around!" She shoved the paper into his hands and got up from her chair to shoo us out the office.
"Let me see your schedule." It was a command not a request.
I didn't want to help and he didn't want me to either but we both knew that he needed.
"Period A-Astronomy
Period B- French 3 Hmm… So you speak zee French?" I said slyly then going back to reading the paper before he could raise an eyebrow.
"Period C – Trigonometry 2
Period D – Workshop
Period E – Lunch Recess
Period F – Literature……. And then…you have all my classes…Your schedule is a duplicate of my own, except I take German." I said.
He took he paper from my hands.
"You know where your locker is right?" I said.
"I do." He said.
"Well...just stick with me. The teacher will give you the books for the classes."
We fell into silence, we do that a lot don't we?
I like looking at you, Sesshomaru, I want to find words
"I'm not much for talk….so meet me here in twenty minutes?"
"Cela fera la belle femme." He said turning away.
"I warten!" I yelled out after him. "I'll… be waiting." Like I always do.
People pushed past us as we worked our way towards of fist class, Astronomy.
Our teacher is an ass, Mr. Mikage.
He was short bald and had this high voice that defined the sound of nails scratching the wall.
I hadn't been looking where I was going and 'BAM!'
I slammed into the jock/ pretentious asshole, Kouga.
Unfortunately Newton's law of motion was against me and I fell to the ground.
"Oh Kagome I'm so sorry I hadn't seen your there." He said yanking me to feet.
"So when can I expect you to say you'll go to prom with me?" he said pulling me into a hug which was unwanted.
Kouga equals Annoyance
Yes this is everyday life of my sad, Die gleiche alte Geschichte...
He wasn't letting go, so I would make him.
I cracked my knuckles, getting ready to break his nose.
"I believe she wishes to be released."
Kouga let go and at that moment I named Sesshomaru the new savior of man.
"And who are you." It was a command to know.
I think that's why I despise this guy, Kouga. He never can just relax in silence. I'm very laid back most of the time. Kouga's in track and I just relax. Did I mention Kouga was annoying?
I would have been shocked at his answer, but Kouga's face was too priceless.
"Her boyfriend." Sesshomaru said bluntly.
I could've sworn that day there was seriousness behind your somewhat cold eyes.
And I liked that.
Just like how I likedhowyou lookedin the rain.
End Chapter.
How was it?
Oh does anybody know the most major cons coming up?
