"Kagome!"
I glanced over my shoulder to see Yuka, Eri, and Ayumi heading towards me.
"Kagome you're better?"
My first full day of school, since a month ago, was over. I forgot how much school totally sucked.
"Yeah, I'm good."
"Great. Let's go to WacDonalds then."
Yuka turned on her heel and headed to the fast-food restaurant, the rest if us following behind, as usual.
Yuka is always in charge.
We got ourselves a table and ordered some food. I only ordered a salad.
The girls chatted about school and guys as I ate half of my salad, then pushed it to the side.
"Hey, Kags?"
Eri seemed to notice my timid behavior.
"What's wrong? You're not eating or talking with us!"
I forced a smile. I've been doing that a lot lately…
"Yeah, well I guess I'm just not that hungry."
Every time I take a bite, an image of Kikyo feeding InuYasha comes to my mind. Yuck.
"What's really wrong?"
Dammit. I suck at lying.
"Did you have another fight with your cheating boyfriend?"
That whole 'motherly' look spread across Yuka's face. She's always making sure I'm safe around guys, just cause this one boy broke my crayon in 3rd grade and I cried for the rest of the day. She's a little overprotective of me.
"No, we didn't fight…"
"Was he cheating with that little skank-of-an-ex-girlfriend?"
"Yuka!"
Ayumi gave her a disappointed frown.
"That's not very nice."
"Neither is cheating on your girlfriend with your ex."
Yuka retaliated. That girl always has a comeback.
"Go on Kagome."
"Well…it's nothing really. But she came by and-"
"She as in the ex right?"
"Um…yes…"
"Okay go on."
Getting the nod of approval from Eri, I continued.
"She came by and he just acted all sappy and puppy-dog like. He turns into a puddle of mush every time she's near. Plus, when I said goodbye, he was too busy ogling her to send me off!"
I finished and slumped down. Sometimes it feels good to say those things to someone.
The girls all gasped disgustingly and shook their heads.
"That's horrible."
"What a jerk."
"Why are you even with him Kagome?"
"Duh Eri, its cause she loves him."
"Oh shut up Ayumi! No one can fall in love with a jerk!"
"Yuka, he's not a jerk."
At my comment, they all gave me these extremely cold glares.
"Okay, well he can be a jerk."
Their glares stopped and they continued arguing.
I leaned back in my chair and fiddled with my skirt. My so very short skirt. They're kind of cute but so short and it gets really cold when-
My thoughts were interrupted when a waitress came by and put an ice-cream sundae in front of me.
"Uh, miss? I didn't order this."
She smiled sweetly at me.
"I know you didn't, but that young man over there ordered it for you."
My gaze followed where she was pointing and I saw a guy sitting at a table, probably around my age. He was giving me this small smile. And he was really cute.
The waitress left, but the guy and I continued to stare at eachother.
He was sitting down, but looked fairly tall. He had black shaggy skater hair that hung is his eyes. He was fine.
But I'd rather be with InuYasha.
I averted my gaze to my table and sighed deeply.
I really do love InuYasha. He's strong, muscular, has gorgeous hair, is really hot, and is a good guy. Most of the time.
You know that feeling where someone's watching you? Well I felt that, but it felt like 3 people were staring at me. Hmmm…
Sure enough, as I looked up I saw my 3 friends giving me that whole 'mouth-hanging-down-cause-I'm-so-surprised' look.
"Weren't you guys arguing?"
Of course they ignore what I say and ask their own questions.
"Who is that hottie?"
Yuka emphasized the word 'hottie' by rolling her eyes upward, all seductive and stuff.
"I don't know."
"You don't know?"
"No."
"Why did he buy you an ice-cream then?"
"He must be super friendly."
"Or super in love with you!"
"That's so cute!"
Ayumi squealed happily for me.
"That's so unfair!"
Eri snatched my sundae from me and gave me a snide look.
"You already have your boyfriend and Hojo! You don't need another guy, so I'm having this!"
She proved her point by taking an enormous and piggish bite out of it.
"Mmm!"
"Kagome, you need to talk to him. Ask him out or something!"
My mouth literally fell to the floor. Yuka telling me to go for a guy she doesn't know? Well this is a first. The only guy she's approved of is Hojo. Wow.
"Yuka, no. I don't even know him! Plus I'm already …seeing someone."
"Well, hate to say it Kags, but your 'someone' is now seeing someone else: his ex. I bet that guy knows how to treat a girl right."
"How do you know this Yuka?"
"I know. Trust me Eri, I can see it from his aura."
"His aura."
"Yeah. Or something weird like that. It's my 6th sense."
"Uh-hu."
"Anyway, Kagome go talk to him."
"Yu-ka!"
"Don't you whine with me!"
"I don't wanna though."
"Oh so you'd rather stick with your lying and cheating boyfriend instead of going with Mr. Hottie over there? Interesting."
"Actually Kags, you should go for him."
Eri attempted to speak through her mouthfuls of ice cream.
"He's uber cute, seems really nice, and most likely doesn't have another girl."
"Yeah, and it's not like your boyfriend will ever find out! He's too busy fooling around with Miss Skank or whatever."
"Yuka!"
Ayumi lightly smacked her. She really hates hurting people's feelings and talking behind their backs.
"I don't know you guys…"
What should I do? InuYasha wouldn't find out unless I told him, and I don't think I would. Plus I could really like the guy…but still.
After what seemed like an eternity of silence, I finally gave in.
"Alright! I'll go talk to him!"
"Yay Kagome!"
All 3 girls cheered happily for me as I got up and walked over to the guy.
"Um, excuse me?"
He was playing with his cell phone, but looked up as soon as I spoke.
"Hi."
He flashed me the cutest grin and greeted me back.
"Hey."
"So, uh, how much do you want for the ice cream? It was $2.00 right?"
The smile disappeared as a confused look replaced it.
"You're going to pay me for the ice cream I bought you?"
My silence spoke for me.
The grin reappeared as he let out a small laugh.
"That's cute, really, but I don't want any money for it! I bought it for you, as a…as a gift! I bought you a sundae as a gift. But I see that you weren't able to enjoy it…"
He was watching Eri scarf down my 'gift'.
"Sorry about that, she took it against my free will."
I blushed slightly from embarrassment, but he didn't seem to notice.
"Hey maybe I should introduce myself! I'm Kai."
He stuck his hand out to shake my hand.
"Hi Kai. I'm Kagome."
Our hands shook and then separated.
"Kagome? Wow, what a beautiful name! Guess it suits the beautiful girl who has it though."
This made me blush again. How attractive.
"You're really cute when you blush Kagome."
Okay. Guess it is attractive then.
"Hey, I know this is kind of weird since we first met and all…"
He looked down at his shoes nervously, then looked back up at me. He's so cute!
"Would you like to go out for dinner with me tonight? Or even tomorrow?"
Such a cute boy, but should I really say yes?
"I…"
From my table, my friends were watching me and nodding their heads a vigorous yes.
"Uh…okay. Yes I'd like to go out for dinner tonight."
It made me feel so good how his face brightened like ten times after I answered.
"Really? Oh that's great! How's seven?"
"Seven's good."
