Gym class has always made Kagome's skin crawl. Not that she was bad, oh no she is a country girl at heart and can handle a few laps and pushups
It was the short shorts that covered too little in her tastes. The shirt was too tight in wrong places. Kagome usually had gym with younger kids simply because she waited till last minute to confirm her P.E class. This year though she was stuck with her awful peers. Most people took gym way to seriously. You'd honestly mistake it for the Olympics. Especially with the supernatural students.
Pulling her shorts down as much as she could and walked out of the bathroom. She refused to change in the locker room. Most girls didn't even bother waiting for room to empty, most confidently changed in front of each-other. Kagome was not that girl.
Pushing the doors open she felt many eyes on her. Looking up she was more than surprised to have Inuyasha and company looking at her. Heat rushed into her cheeks and she moved quick to the other side of the gym.
'What the hell was that about?' She thought shivering. Truth be told she did want have friends, but them? No. Just no. She'd drag them down.
Coach Myoga blew the loud whistle making the demon students groan loudly.
"Watch that shit coach!" Inuyasha yelled. Myoga just ignored him,
"Hello students, welcome to Senior P.E. I do hope to give you a healthy 80 minutes of exercise. Now human and demons please step into different lines. Since the reps you do will vary based on how much you can handle." Students moved to the different sides. Luckily Kagome didn't have to move since she was already on the human side. She glanced around seeing Kikyou giving awful looks to Sango. How cruel. Just because you end a relationship with doesn't mean you have to despise their friends.
Sango was surrounded by a couple of other girls who seemed nice enough.
"Excuse me." Kagome heard but didn't take notice and still look around absentmindedly.
A tap on her shoulder made her whip her head around.
Sango was standing now in front of her.
"Hey your Kagome right? I'm Sango! Nice to meet you!" Kagome's very being shook.
"U-Uh Hi S-Sango." Breathing in deeply she look to Sango and smiled softly
Sango smiled and stood alongside Kagome making look at her strangely.
"So are you excited for gym? I hope we actually do something today." It took a moment to realize that Sango was speaking to her,
"U-uh yes." God she was awful, she could even hold a basic conversation. But Sango didn't seem annoyed in the slightest. and continued to make small talk. And before Kagome noticed she found herself enjoying it. Finally after Coach Myoga finished calling names, he told them to get into rows.
Surprisingly Sango followed and sat right in front of her and turned around.
"Hey Kagome, you're really nice! Let's hang out more!" A part of her wanted to say no, maybe this was some kind of joke that Inuyasha put her up to. But a larger part did wanna have friends and speak more than once a day.
"I'd l-like that." Smiling softly at Sango's excited face.
Gym went on to Myoga speaking for hours on end it felt on his expectation.
Glancing up at the clock Kagome sighed, just 10 minutes.
"Friendly reminder that try-out for all sport teams and after school activities are today." With that the bell wrong and everyone raced up to change.
"Kagome wait up!" Sango caught her arm and smiled. Always smiling.
"Let's exchange numbers! Are you trying out for anything." Kagome gave a glance behind her. Why was she doing this?
"Sure." With that they swapped phones, Kagome didn't miss the look of pity on Sango's face when she saw the lack of contact's she had.
"See you Kang's!" Kagome sighed once the girl was out of sight. Today was the most interaction with her peer's she's had since middle school.
Now, she had to think if it was worth trying out for the archery club. She didn't have many after school things to list on college applications. She made her way to the girl's bathroom. She gasped as someone grabbed her wrist.
Flipping her head around, surprised isn't the right word to describe it.
Inuyasha had a light flush on his face and was looking at the floor.
"Look, I guess i'm sorry about what I said alright, I aint a bully." Kagome's eyes were wide.
"It-it's o-okay, y-you were upset, I hope you get a chance to get back to wood shops-sorry about your situation." Kagome didn't ramble, ever. What was she doing. She slipped out of his grasped and booked it into the bathroom.
Inuyasha watch dumbfounded at her nice words. For the thousandth time he asked himself 'what is this girl.' Shaking his head he moved to the guys locker room to change to try-out.
