Today is the day. I am going back to school. It scares the shit out of me. The last time I was at school, I screamed at Sango about everything that had happened to me at her party. Is everybody going to know? Did she tell the whole school? Are they going to be mean to me? Are they going to make fun of me? Are they going to feel sorry for me? All these questions ran through Kagome's head so fast that she didn't notice Sesshomaru pull up, waiting for her to get in the car.
Sesshomaru was confused. She is sitting on the porch, staring right at his car, and she's not moving. Sesshomaru opens his car door and slams it shut, but she doesn't move. He walks up to her and sank to her size, staring into her eyes. She blinks abruptly as she starts to come down to Earth. She smiles nervously as Sesshomaru smirks at her playfully. Sesshomaru stood up straight, giving Kagome his hand to help her up.
Kagome takes his hand cautiously, and squealed when he jerks her up quickly. Her pulls her to his chest and nuzzles her neck. Kagome relaxes against him as he begins to nibble her neck. "Are you okay, Kagome?" Sesshomaru said, his voice muffles against her neck, making Kagome giggle. "Yeah. Just nervous about school, that's all." Kagome said softly, waiting for him to tell her that it was ridiculous and not to worry about anything. It never came. The little lecture that Sesshomaru makes over things he thought weren't important, never came. He just nods and tugs her toward his car.
They drove in a comfortable, but nervous silence. They pull up to the school. Kagome didn't want to get out of the car. Her nervousness was making Sesshomaru nervous. Sesshomaru gets out first, and walks over to Kagome's side of the car. He opens the door and offers his hand. She took it, gratefully. When she is out of the car, Sesshomaru led's her to the doors. He waits a second and gives her a chaste kiss. We look back at the door. He takes my hand, and pushes it open, and we are welcomed with stares. Some gasps. Some gaps. Others smirk. We walk down the halls, and when the looks of shock wear off, they became looks of pity. As I expected, Sango told everybody. We walk into the auditorium. Sesshomaru and I found a corner to sit in and sat there.
We weren't joining our groups today.
Then the thing I am truly scared of happened. There are twelve of them: Nala, Zera and Zira (twins), VaToni, Kilala, Sango, Aki, Odera, MarKiesha, Aysha, Katie, and K.C. Nala's the Captain. They have two lives. They were whores on the weekends, and virginal goddesses on week days. They came over to us. I can feel their eyes burning holes in my head.
Nala was first to speak. "I am so sorry about what happened to you! I'm sorry about how we've been treating you, and I'm hoping some of us will stop (side-way glances at Aki and Sango.) If you ever need girls to talk to, you can talk to us, okay!" She said sweetly.
I'm beyond in shell-shock mode right now. Did the bitches of the school just…apologize to me? I look up at Nala to find genuine truth in her words. I smile lightly and nod, as in saying: I'll take your words into consideration. She beamed at me and walked away, her posse following behind her.
I think my day just got a little bit better.
