by AlphardEscope

The Sohma family hears that Tohru has a new tomboy friend named Escope, but when she visits their house, they figure out soon enough that they are complete opposite! Even with their dramatic differences, they still believe that the Curse is safe...But they couldn't be more wrong! ;) *Wink*

Hey guys! It's me again, and I'm here with the 2nd chapter! Enjoy! ^^

Chapter #3- Close Encounters of the Goth Kind

RECAP: From all the way down the hall, I could see a flash of black hair. Huh... did I just see someone...or something? I walked a little bit more, glancing left and right, as my brown dress shoes clapped in a steady beat. The black haired head turned around! "Eeeee!" I screamed. Surprised by the sudden movement, I jumped and stepped back. "Who are you?" asked the tall, gothic looking girl. A person?! Could it be? I'm saved!

[Tohru POV]

"Well? I asked you a question dork girl." She asked, looking pretty mad. So I replied quickly.

"Oh, m-my name? I have a name! My name is….T-Tohru Honda!" I said, bowing.

"Oh is it? Then hello Tohru." She didn't sound very serious this time, and I'm pretty sure she smirked when she said my name.

"Umm, where is the…..bathroom?" I asked, and I know I looked like a complete moron…

[Escope POV]

Wow.

I did NOT see that one coming. Not at all.

"Uh, did you say… bathroom? Seriously? I hope you're joking." I replied, surprised that someone would be asking me, the new girl, where something was.

"No, I'm not joking…" she said, and she looked like she was ashamed.

Ah, what the heck. I might as well help the airhead. I don't know why, but it seems like she really needs help, and quick.

"Okay. I walk you there." I said, walking her down the hall. We talked and talked as we made our way to the bathroom, and the more conversations we had, the more and more we got to know each other.

"To be honest, I think we are completely opposite!" I said.

"I know, but I like the way you are, and you are nothing like what everyone says you're like! And that's a good thing!" she smiled and said.

"Well I hope that's a good thing too." I said smiling with her, my black lipstick along with her pink lips.

"Oh, I've been wanting to ask you… can you come to my house and meet my…family," she said smiling, "I mean they aren't really my family, but they are close enough!"

"I would love to! I'll see you this weekend." I said, as we were in front of the bathrooms.

"We are totally late for class, but it was worth it, and here is the bathrooms," I said pointing towards them, "We've probably missed half a day of school." I smirked, walked back down the opposite direction, and waved goodbye.
