Inuyasha's P.O.V
We stepped inside the maroon and white prideful building and my nose was suddenly attacked by the smell of a wet wolf. A sudden wirlwind came out of nowhere and knocked me down on my ass and proceded to circle Kagome. It slowed to a hault and Kouga emerged from the wind, standing tall in front of Kagome.
"Hey, there Kagome!" he said with his stupid, cocky wolf grin.
"Hi, Kouga," she said with a friendly smile.
"That's a hot little outfit you're wearing. Did you wear that for me?" he asked moving closer to her.
Her smile fell for a second and she took a small step back from him. She put a fake and clearly uncomfortable smile on and chuckled lightly, scratching the back of her head, thinking of something to say. She clearly doesn't have romantic feelings for him, that's for sure. But she doesn't want to hurt his feelings. I decided to come to her rescue.
"Hey!" I yelled to him as I jumped up from my spot.
I got in his face and yelled, "Who the hell do you think you are knocking me down like that?"
He looked at me for a moment and said, "Get on, somewhere dog breath. No one asked for your presence."
"No one asked for yours either!" I spat at him as I jumped back several feet from him.
He turned from Kagome and walked towards me. I smirked at the pissed off look on his face.
"That's right buddy. Come to me and away from my woman. Wait, since when the hell is Kagome my woman?" I thought to myself.
"Since you had a sex dream about her," my inner demon answered me.
"Yeah, but that doesn't make her mine!"
Kouga got close enough to me and drew his fist back. I readied myself to catch it and start a fight with this cocky son of a bitch.
"Well, I guess this is when I get expelled from another school for almost killing another bully. So long Kagome..."
"Guys, no! Don't fight!" Kagome yelled pulling Kouga back by his arm so that she could stand in between us.
"Stay out of this Kagome before you get hurt!" Kouga yelled in anger.
"Don't tell her what to do!" I yelled to him, my anger now rising. No one yells at Kagome like that.
"I'll do whatever the hell I want to, dog breath!"
We moved closer to each other, forgetting the petite girl in between us.
"Guys, stop!" she said pushing her tiny hands on our chests. "You guys are fighting over practically nothing!"
I stopped growling at the stupid wolf and thought about what she said. She was totally right. I got so defensive and jealous that I had to open my big stupid mouth and start shit. Usually when I fought people it'd be because they'd start it first. But instead I handled the situation rudely. Sure, he was the one that knocked me down but I could have politely asked him to apologize to me. He'd probably wouldn't and just be a dick to me but at least I'd be the better person in the whole situation. I really needed to work on controlling my anger.
I decided to be the better person and apologize to him but before I could the bell rang for everyone to go to class.
"Oh, would you look at that! It's time to go to class! C'mon!" She said as she grabbed my arm and pulled me from the wolf.
"What did you do that for, Kagome?" I asked her as she led me down the hall and was practicly running. Which was suprising because of the five inch ankle breakers she was sporting on her feet. You could tell she wore heels a lot.
"I had to get you out of there before one of you got hurt and suspended from school!" she replied sounding slightly irritated.
"Why would you care if that wolf got hurt?" I asked.
"Because Inuyasha. Even though he can get on my nerves sometimes by calling me his woman and all, he's still my friend. And I was worried about you getting hurt too."
I laughed out loud at her last statement. I started laughing so hard that I had to stop in my tracks and hold my stomach in pain caused by my laughter.
"What's so funny?" she asked with a weird expression on her face.
Once I calmed down from my laughing fit we started walking again.
"Because you think that wimpy wolf could actually hurt me. After he had a piece of me he'd be running home with his tail in between his legs!" I said confidently.
Kagome suddenly jerked her hand from my arm and turned away from me. She looked over her shoulder towards me but wouldn't make eye contact with me.
"Here's your class Inuyasha. If you're gonna be an arrogant, cocky prick then don't talk to me."
And with that she walked away leaving me in a daze.
"I don't understand, what the hell did I do? What did I say? Why is she mad at me? Is it because of what I said about Kouga? Or is it because I tried to fight him?" I thought to myself.
"Why does she care about him so damn much! Who could possibly care about that wimpy wolf besides his mother! Then again Kagome seems like a very loving person."
"Hello? Inuyasha?"
A waving hand in front of my face knocked me out of my daze. I came back to Earth and realized that I was standing in the middle of the hallway and Ginta and Hakkaku were standing in front of me with concerned looks on their faces.
"Are you okay?" Ginta asked.
"I'm fucking great. Why?"
"Well when we saw you we called your name several times but you didn't respond. Instead you just kept staring into space," Hakkaku answered.
I rubbed my face in frustration from what just happened with Kagome and said, "Yeah, I'm fine. Let's go to class before the bell rings."
We walked into class and sat down in our seats in the back. I leaned back in my seat and crossed my arms in thought.
"Fucking figures. I finally find a girl that I have a real connection with and I already piss her off and screw everything up. I wonder what I can do to make it up to her."
"It's so obvious what she wants you to do," my inner demon answered me.
"I'm afraid to ask, but what do you think she wants me to do?"
"She wants you to bend her over and give it to her hard."
"Okay, I'm not going to ask you anything again..."
I groaned in frustration and slammed my head on my desk, ignoring the pain brought to my forehead.
"Inuyasha, are you sure you're okay?" Hakkuka asked.
I slowly brought my head up leaned back in my chair again.
"No, I think I made Kagome mad," I said looking to the front of the class. Mr. Sanders was sitting at his computer typing away on his keyboard. I assumed he was typing an email.
"Why do you think that?" Ginta asked me.
"She walked me to class and then called me an arrogant, cocky prick and to not talk to her."
"Bummer," they said together.
"What did you do for her to call you that?" Hakkaku asked.
"Hey! Why do you assume that I did something for her to say that to me?" I asked.
"Because, Kagome's got a heart of gold. She would never say something like that to somebody unless they made her really mad or hurt her feelings," Ginta explained.
He was right. Kagome was the nicest person I'd ever met and the only girl I'd ever met that didn't consider me trash or a freak, besides Rin. I sighed and prepared myself to explain to them what had happened just about five minutes ago.
"Well, she picked me up this morning and we came to school together and Kouga showed up and knocked me down and started making Kagome uncomfortable with his stupid flirting. So I got mad and got in his face for knocking me down and we almost got into a fight but Kagome stopped us. And as we were walking to class I told her how I'd kick Kouga's ass and she got mad and said that."
"Ohhhh..." they said again together.
"I don't understand why she would defend him after the way he was practically drooling over her," I said putting my elbow on my desk and resting my cheek on my fist.
"Well, Inuyasha, Kouga is Kagome's friend. Even though he acted like that towards her she can't hate him for it. And since he is her friend she's gonna get mad when somebody talks bad about him," Hakkaku said.
What he said made sense. Even though I had not known Kagome long at all she seemed like a very friendly and loving person. She would stick up for anyone she cared for. What I still didn't understand is why she would still be friends with him after how much he flirted with her. I guess she had a lot more patience than I did.
I glanced around the room and noticed a lot of people had their phones out texting or playing games or whatever. Next, I looked up to Mr. Sanders desk and noticed he was still sitting there but he was talking to one of the students sitting in the front. I sat up and pulled my phone out of my pocket and laid it on my desk. I unlocked it and started a conversation with Kagome under the iMessage app (that I rarely used.)
"Kagome, I'm sorry for upsetting you. The last thing I wanna do is hurt you. I'm sorry for what I said about Kouga."
I let out a breath that I didn't even know I was holding in and hoped for the best. I really wasn't sorry for what I said about the stupid wolf but if it makes everything better between me and Kagome then I'm willing to appologize to her for it.
I looked down and saw that she had read it and was typing.
"Wow, that was fast," I thought.
Her message came up and I let out, yet again, another breath that I didn't realize I was holding in.
"I forgive you Inuyasha. I guess I should apologzie too. I shouldn't have acted the way I did. I guess I just got defensive of him because you were threatening him. Even though he can be annoying sometimes he's still my friend and I'll defend him just the same as I would for you or Jenny or any of my our other friends. Can we just forget that it happened?"
I smiled and responded quickly.
"Deal :)"
"Awesome :) Just try to be nice to Kouga okay? I know it will be hard to do but just try."
"That will be hard to do..."
"Please?"
"Idk..."
"Please? For me?"
"Well alright I'll try for you Kagome :P"
"Thanks :)"
"See you in art?"
"Ok :)"
I smiled down at my phone, happy that things were okay between us now. I looked up at Mr Sanders as he finally started taking roll.
The entire day went by just like yesterday. Classes were boring, lunch was fun with everyone and Kagome's voice was music to my ears.
The bell rang for everyone to leave and Kagome and I were walking up towards the commons area. I was confused as to why we were taking the long way because there were exits at the end of every wing.
We reached the commons area and I asked her," So Kagome, if you're not gonna be busy when you get home will you help me with my calculous homework again? Just to make sure I still got everything you taught me yesterday." The truth was I understood and remembered everything she taught me. I just wanted to hang out with her.
"Sure!" she said with a smile. "But I won't get home till later. I have cheer practice today until 5:30. If you want you can sit through cheer practice with us and we can walk to my house after. And if I can, I'll try to help you when I'm not busy during practice. That way we can get your homework done faster and we can just chill at my house. And if you want you can have dinner with us! Dad's making cheese and spinach ravioli."
"Cheese and spinach?" I questioned. Of course I had heard of it but I had never had it before. I always had ravioli with beef in it. And it always came out of a can.
"Yeah, I don't eat beef so Dad usually never makes any beef for dinner. If he does, he usually makes me something else," she said as she led me outside towards her car.
"Why don't you eat beef?" I asked.
"I just don't like the taste of it. I'll eat chicken, turkey, bacon, shrimp and shark."
"Shark?" I asked.
"Yep. Tastes like chicken."
Another thing I had never had before.
We reached her car and she dug her keys out of her purse and started hitting buttons on her remote. The lambourgini unlocked and the trunk popped open in front of us. She pushed the door up and grabbed a huge marroon and white duffle bag that was almost the size of her but she flung it on her shoulder as if it was nothing. She shut the door and locked her car and started walking back to the school. Her bag had a bulldog on it and her name stitched underneath of it.
"I've never had shark before," I stated out loud this time.
"It's really good! It tastes like chicken but has a fishy texture to it. There's plenty of restaurants around here that make it and lots of places that sell it fresh. I'll have to take you to one of them to try it," she said with a smile.
"Okay," I said and smiled back.
"Have you been able to go to the beach yet?" she asked.
"No, Rin told me there was a beach but I haven't had the chance to go. Plus, I don't know how to get there or where anything is here."
"Well, if you're not busy this weekend you and I can go! And I'll show you around town too," she said with her heart melting smile.
"Okay, sure," I answered with my own smile.
"Wait a minute! Is this a date? Oh god. I'm gonna see Kagome in a bikini! I had seen pictures of her in a bathing suit from Facebook and she was stunning! How will I be able to even talk to her when she'll look like even more of a goddess than she already does?" I thought to myself.
"Uh, Inuyasha are you okay?"
Her voice knocked me out of my thoughts and I looked around and noticed that we were back inside the school in the commons area.
"Yeah, I'm fine. Why?" I asked.
"Well, you looked like you were starting to sweat and your face was really red."
"Oh, um, no I'm fine," I said and looked away. I could feel my cheeks were getting warm again.
She lifted her duffle bag onto a lunch table (again, as if it was nothing) and set her purse beside it. She unzipped her bag and started going through a bunch of stuff.
"Hey, how come you don't have any books? Don't you have homework?" I asked when I realized she didn't have a bookbag or any books for that matter.
"Nope," she said as she pulled out a pair of black Nike spandex shorts and mint green Nike sports bra. "With the classes that I have this year I don't think I'll have much homework at all, she said and pulled out a pair of white Nikes and a pair of small bright pink socks that looked like they could be for kids.
"Oh, well lucky you," I grumbled.
"Hey, watch it Mr Grumpy Gills! The less homework I have, the more time I'll get to help you with yours!"
I smirked and said, "What makes you think I need help with my homework all the time?"
She smirked back and said, "Trust me. You need all the help you can get."
And like that she ran away as fast as she could, smiling back at me. I dropped my bookbag on the table and ran after her. And me, being the half demon that I am, was able to catch up to her quick. Once I was close enough to her, I wrapped my arms around her, picked her up and started swinging her around.
She giggled and squeeled like a child and said," Okay,Inuyasha! Okay! I'm sorry!"
"Good," I said and put her down. She was pretty dizzy and tried keeping her balance but the spinning room and her five inch ankle breakers thought different. She started falling backward and with my quick reflexes I was able to catch her before she hit the floor.
"Thanks!" she said with her sweet smile.
I smiled back and that was when I got the feeling that someone was staring at me. I looked around and noticed EVERYONE in the room was staring at us; and I soon realized why. I was leaned over Kagome and I had my arm around her waist and I was holding her hand. We looked like we had been dancing and I was dipping her.
We started blushing and I pulled her up to her feet.
She grabbed her things and said," Well I better get ready. Could you watch my stuff for me while I change?"
"Sure," I said as I sat down at the table.
"Thanks! Be back in a flash," and with that she strutted off to the bathroom. I didn't know whether she knew or not be she did have a bit of a strut to her walk.
"Hey, Inuyasha!"
I looked over to see Sango coming into the school building carrying a large duffle bag exactly like Kagome's except it had Sango's name on it.
"Hey, Sango," I replied.
She sat her bag down on the table next to ours (there wasn't any room left on ours) and started digging through it just like Kagome did with hers.
"Are you a cheerleader too?" I asked.
"Yeah, I'm Kagome's co-captain!" she said with a proud smile. "Are you staying to watch?" she asked.
"Well, yes and no. I'm mostly gonna be doing homework the entire time and then me and Kagome are gonna chill at her place after."
"Oh, sounds fun. So have you ever watched a cheer squad practice?"
"Nope."
"What about a competition?"
"Nope."
"So you've never been a cheerleader?"
"Do I look like a fucking queerleader Sango?" I asked, a little bit offended.
"Inuyasha! Not all male cheerleaders are gay. That is such a stereotype!"
I scoffed and said, "Whatever you say Sango."
"It just so happens that we have five male cheerleaders and only two of them are gay," she said folding her arms.
"With each other?" I asked.
"No!"
"Okay," I said laughing at how pissed she was getting.
She rolled her eyes and said," I gotta go change. Is Kagome in there?" she said pointing to the bathroom.
"Yeah."
"Okay, thanks!" and with that she practicly skipped to the bathroom. Don't know what she was so happy about.
Over the next few minutes, more and more cheerleaders showed up with huge duffle bags, all the same. The male cheerleaders showed up with the same duffle bags as the rest of them and everyone grabbed everything they needed and and headed for the restrooms. Kagome and Sango both came out right as a heard of cheerleaders were heading in. And right when I saw Kagome I forgot how to breath. Don't get me wrong, Sango looked quite attractive too, but Kagome looked like an absolute sex goddess. And it was all because of three T's.
Tanned skin.
Toned stomach.
And titties.
I made a mental note to find out what bra size she was if I was ever alone in her room later. Her bra lifted her huge melons perfectly and her shorts looked like they were painted on. The song There It Go (The Whistle Song) by Juelz Santana was playing in my head the moment I saw her walk out.
There it go
Baby don't stop now
There it go
Baby don't stop now
There it go
Damn shorty look good an I'm thinkin bout gettin at her
(Okay!)
Time to whistle at her
Aye girl you make my whistle blow
There it go
Bring it here baby
There it go
Bring it here baby
Top down and I'm at it again
It's hot now and I'm at it to win
You heard me
Who want it with me?
Nobody wanti it with me
Oh I'm so fly
Oh Mami come n' get me!
Sit it down
Back up
Bring it on back up
Move it til you feel something hard in
your back up
There it go
If you want it, come and get it
I aint kiddin' I'm with it
Here it go, go
I pinched my thigh underneath the table to snap out of the trance that I was in and to stop myself from what I came very close to doing.
I almost whistled the tune at her.
I mentally thanked every lord above that I didn't because more than likely she would have probably punched me in the face and then never talk to me again.
"Come on, Inuyasha!" she said as she pulled her hair back in a ponytail. I grabbed my bookbag and followed her and Sango into the gym.
We walked in and I sat my bag down against the wall. Unsure of what to do or what the girls were gonna do. I had never watched a cheer squad practice. I looked around and realized that I had never been in the gym before. There were six baskeball hoops hanging from the ceiling and there were folded up bleachers that covered two walls. There was a ginat bulldog painted on the wall that had two students names signed underneath it. I found out in Government class the day before that the bulldog was a senior project by two students a few years back.
THUMP!
I looked over to where the loud thumping noise cam from and saw Kagome rolling a huge, red, cylinder shaped thing.
THUMP!
Sango pulled over a blue one and started rolling it to where Kagome was. There were at least five more red and blue cylinders standing up in a corner. I had absolutly no clue what they were so I didn't know what to call them besides their shape.
Kagome pulled a large strip of velcro back and pushed the cylinder again. It rolled out and they did the same with one sango brought. They turned out to be mats and they unrolled all of them and pushed them all together to form one giant matted spot. I went to sit down against the wall to start my homework but Kagome's voice stopped me.
"You might wanna sit against the bleachers. We like to use the entire gym for practice."
I didn't know what she meant by that but I did what she said anyways. I picked up my bag and walked over to the bleachers and she followed.
"So, let's see what Mr Sanders assigned you today," she said.
She went over my homework with me for the few minutes while the rest of the cheerleaders piled into the gym. I understood everything she told me and I remembered everything she told me the day before. I was able to finish my homework within minutes.
"Alright guys, listen up!"
I looked up to see where the booming voice was coming from and saw all the cheerleaders linned up on the mats in front of Kagome, Sango and Jenny. I had asummed the voice came from Sango.
"A lot of you already know us but to the newbies, I'm Kagome and this is Sango and Jenny."
The loud ass voice was coming from Kagome.
"So last year I made our squad All-Star champs and we won national competitions. I plan to do the same this year. You may think you're ready for this squad but I can already tell by looking at you that you're not."
The new girls all looked at each other with hurt and confused looks.
"There will be days that you work so hard you'll barely be able to walk the next day. We will break you into this squad. But despite the pain you'll feel from working so hard it'll be worth it and you'll be in the best shape of your life. And you're gonna love us. We're all a family. We all love each other and we all help each other out. So let's get it started!" Kagome finished, trying to pump everyone up.
"Ha! Let's get it started in here!" Jenny started singing and dancing like a diseased elephant.
"Let's get it started, Ha!" Sango joined in.
"Let's get it started in here!" Kagome joined in as did a few of the other cheerleaders.
"Alright guys let's get you warmed up! Ten laps around the gym!" Kagome said in the same loud ass voice that I didn't know she had. Speaking of asses, hers looked great and mine was going numb from the floor.
Sango was messing with the sound equipment in the wall and put a CD in.
"Alright guys everyone get ready on this line." Kagome said putting her foot on a maroon line on the floor. Everyone on the squad linned up behind the line.
"You guys ready?" she yelled trying to pump them up again.
There were "Yeah's" from the group and a couple enthusiastic ones.
"Alright, on the "Oh, Yeaaahh!" you can start." She sang the "Oh Yeaaahh!" perfectly and it sounded really familiar.
A guitar started playing from the gym's sound system and then I knew exactly what song it was.
Oh, Yeaaahh!
They all took off at a nice jog, just pacing themselves. Well, everyone except for Kagome, who ran as fast as she could. She actually ran faster than what was humanly possible. She was using her Miko powers to their full extent and she finished her ten laps by the time everyone else was getting ready to start their third. She stood back and observed the others running, watching for any that were starting to slow down. By now the second part of the song was starting.
I'm on a train, and ride on,
You know the train is staying off the track.
I'm in touch love, from this crutch,
Well you're on ten, but honey I'm on eleven.
It really suprised me that they were allowed to play that song in the school building.
And yes I'm all lit up again,
On the couch, in my bed.
And yest I'm all lit up again, flying.
I love the cocaine, I love the cocaine.
Mama can you wait, mama can you wait.
I love the cocaine, I love the cocaine.
Mama can you wait, oh can you wait long?
Her dad may have had some problems, but he wrote a kick ass song because of them. I could hear her sing the song softly to herself and I joined in on her. Although I'm sure she didn't hear me.
Well crack the door for the curious girl cause she's been waiting, she's been waiting.
Chop a line for the fiending man cause he wants one.
You know, you know you got to, can you feel it can you feel it tonight, are you high love, tell me are you fucking high?
In the moment you are just so right
You're right love, are you right love?
And yes, I'm all lit up again
On the couch, in my bed
And yes, I'm all lit up again, Flyin'
I love the cocaine, I love the cocaine
Mama can you wait, mama can you wait.
I love the cocaine, I love the cocaine.
Mama can you wait, oh can you wait long?
Oh, Yeaaahh!
You wanna find it!
Alright, yeaaahh!
Yeaaahh!
By the time the song started to end everyone had finished their ten laps. There were some like Sango and Jenny that were barely even out of breath and some that looked like they were going to die.
"Alright everyone spread out! Now it's time to really warm up!" Kagome yelled.
Some of the new cheerleaders looked at each other in fear.
"We're gonna start with stretchs, so everyone sit down and spread your legs. Make sure you have plenty of room."
"Spread your legs you sluts!" Jenny yelled but not to be mean but to be funny. It earned a couple of laughes from the group.
Kagome sat down facing the group and her legs spread to make a perfect 180 degree angle. I blushed lightly at the provacative thoughts that came to my mind at the sight. I was really starting to turn into that damn monk.
All of the other cheerleaders did the same as she did; althought they were all very flexible none of them had the perfect 180 degree angle like Kagome did. She lead everyone into stretches, starting with stretching over their left legs, then their right and then forward. And just like before, they weren't as flexible as Kagome was. She could reach so far forward and to the sides over her legs that her nose and forehead were touching the floor. Next, they went into butterfly stretches and then feet and arm stretches.
"Alright, now for the fun part!" Kagome yelled. "Everyone on your backs!"
Everyone layed down on their backs and waited for Kagome's instructions.
"We're doing 300! You guys know what to do! Inuyasha, can you please press play on the stereo?"
"Sure," I said as I hopped up from my spot and walked up to the gym's sound system. I pressed the play button and Breaking Benjamin's Blow Me Away started playing.
"Newbies, do the best you can and follow me! Ready? Five, six, seven, eight!"
They started contracting and releasing their abdominal muscles and they did this twenty-five times before they did twenty-five crunches forward.
They fall in line,
One at a time,
Ready to play.
(I can't see them anyway)
No time to lose,
We've got to move.
Steady your helm.
(I am losing sight again)
They rested their right leg over their left and did twenty five more, reaching at an angle.
Fire your guns,
It's time to run.
Blow me away.
(I will stay, in the mess I made)
After the fall,
We'll shake it off.
Show me the way!
They then did the same amount on the other side and proceeded to do more in different leg positions and at different angles, all twenty five each.
Only the strongest will survive,
Lead me to heaven, when we die.
I am the shadow on the wall,
I'll be the one to save us all!
There's nothing left,
So save your breath.
Lying in wait.
(Caught inside this tidal wave)
Your cover's blown.
No where to go,
Holding your fate.
(Loaded I will walk alone)
Fire your guns,
It's time to run.
Blow me away.
(I will stay, in the mess I made)
After the fall,
We'll shake it off.
Show me the way!
They all then straightened their legs and pulled them into their chest twenty five times, then twenty five sissors.
Only the strongest will survive.
Lead me to heaven, when we die.
I am the shadow on the wall.
I'll be the one to save us all!
You wanted it back.
DON'T MAKE ME MAD!
ENOUGH!
DIE!
Only the strongest will survive.
Lead me to heaven, when we die.
I am the shadow on the wall.
I'll be the one to save us all!
Save us all!
Right when the song ended they finished their excersize. Some of the cheerleaders looked like they were dying.
"Good job guys! Stretch it out!" Kagome yelled.
They all rolled over onto their stomachs and stretched their abdominals for about ten seconds and then rolled back over onto their backs.
"Okay guys, water break!"
They all hopped up quick and ran to the water fountains and their water bottles. Some of the newer ones didn't get up as quick as the others. A lot of them were pretty winded but Kagome didn't seem out of breath at all due to the amazing shape she was in.
For the rest of the practice they worked out in the wieght room for half an hour and did squat jumps. They then practiced stunts and tumbling.
(A/N: Stunts are usually made up of four people, two bases a back spotter and a flyer. The flyer is the one that is in the air and the other cheerleaders support the flyer and catch them. They even throw the flyer in the air and with enough practice the flyer can do flips, splits and twists in the air. But when the flyer is not being thrown in the air and is just being held up by their fellow team members, they can do different arm and leg motions. Most common ones are arms in a high 'V' with one of their legs pulled up so their foot reaches their knee. Other common ones for flyers to do are Arabesques (which is actually a ballet move), a bow and arrow and a scorpian. Tumbling is just another word for gymnastics. Some of the basic ones that cheerleaders do are cartwheels, round offs and back hand springs. Now back to the story!)
It was amazing to watch how high the demon cheerleaders where throwing Kagome in the air. She would do back flips, splits, and make cute sassy faces. And she was an amazing gymnist.
Soon, 5:30 rolled around and they all rolled up the mats and went to the bathrooms in the commons to change.
"So what'd you think?" Kagome asked as we walked out of the gym.
"It was pretty cool. I've never seen anything like that before."
"Yeah, it's a lot of fun. I love it," she said as she grabbed her keys out of her purse and flung her duffle bag over one shoulder and carried her purse in her other hand.
"You ready to go?" she asked.
"Aren't you gonna change?" I asked.
"Nah, I usually don't. After I've had my work out for the day I usually don't feel changing and trying to look cute again," she said as we walked out of the school towards the parking lot.
"You don't even have to try for you to look cute."
"Oh, shit! Did I really just say that out loud?"
"Thanks. You don't either," she said with a small blush.
I blushed and looked away, trying to think of a way to change the subject.
"So does the school not have locker rooms for you to change in?" I asked. I knew it was a dumb question but it was the first thing that came to my mind.
"No, we usually do but every Tuesdays they close the locker rooms after school to give them a good cleaning," she said while swinging her umbrella. She had picked it up from the bin in the foyer as we walked past it.
We reached her car within half a minute. Once there, she unlocked it, put her duffle bag in the back and hopped in her seat. I too, lifted my door and slid in the girly vehicle.
She started it and plugged her phone up and scrolled through her music library.
"Wanna hear my new song?" she asked.
"New song?" I said with a confused look.
"Yeah, it's a pop song. Different than what I usually do. I'm kinda just trying to branch off and discover different types of music. I'm not quitting the band or anything. I'm just experimenting I guess you could call it. Anyways the song's called Royals."
I've never seen a diamond in the flesh.
I cut my teeth on wedding rings, in the movies.
And I'm not proud of my address,
In a torn up town, no postcode envy.
But every song's like,
Gold teeth, grey goose, trippin' in the bathroom,
Blood stains, ball gowns, trashin' the hotel room.
We don't care, we're driving Cadillacs in our dreams.
But everybody's like,
Cristal, Maybach, diamonds on your timepiece,
Jet planes, islands, tigers on a gold leash.
We don't care, we aren't caught up in your love affair.
And we'll never be royals (royals).
It don't run in our blood.
That kind of luxe just aint for us.
We crave a different kind of buzz.
Let me be your ruler (ruler).
You can call me Queen Bee.
And baby I'll rule, I'll rule, I'll rule, I"ll rule.
Let me live that fantasy.
Her stereo had a nice bass to it. Oh, and her song was pretty awesome too. She was right though. It was pretty different.
My friends and I we've cracked the code.
We count our dollars on the train to the party.
And eveyrone who knows us knows that we're fine with this,
We didn't come for money.
But every song's like,
Gold teeth, grey goose, trippin' in the bathroom,
Blood stains, ball gowns, trashin' the hotel room,
We don't care, we're driving Cadillacs in our dreams.

Cristal, Maybach, diamonds on your timepiece.

And baby I'll rule, I'll rule, I'lle rule, I'll rule.
Let me live that fantasy.
Ooh, ooh, oh.
We're bigger than we ever dreamed,
And I"m in love with being queen.
Ooh, ooh, oh.
Life is great with out a care.
We aren't caught up in your love affair.
And we'll never be royals (royals).
I don't run in our blood.
That kindof luxe just aint for us.

"That was pretty cool," I said to her.
"Yeah, I really like it. I can't wait to release it," she said with a smile.
"When are you gonna release it?"
"I don't know yet," she said with a frown. "With me being Teen Miss America I really have to watch the things I do and say. And somebody would probably find something about the song to say that they were offended by and ruin my reputation. And worse, strip me of my title."
"Oh, that must suck. Having to censor yourself to the media. Not being able to show how you feel or what you really think. Or to just be you," I said.
"Yeah, it does," she said quietly with a frown as she played The Goo Goo Dolls next.
I knew the song word for word. And I also knew exactly how she felt. I had to watch everything I did because it would all reflect on my dad and his reputation. Except I wasn't good at biting my tongue and holding back my anger in some (okay, a lot) of situations.
I sneaked a glance over to the raven haired beauty beside me. There was something about Kagome that made me melt everytime I even thought of her. In the short amount of time that I knew her she could already bring a smile to my face at the very sound of her name. I knew the lyrics to the song were about to start so I readied myself for singing.
And I'd give up forever to touch you,
'Cause I know that you feel me somehow.
You're the closest to heaven that I'll ever be,
And I don't wanna go home right now
And all I can taste is this moment,
And all I can breath is your life.
When sooner or later it's over,
I just don't wanna miss you tonight.
And I don't want the world to see me,
'Cause I don't think that they'd understand.
When everything's made to be broken,
I just want you to know who I am.
And you can't fight the tears that ain't coming,
Or the moment of truth in your lies.
When everything feels like the movies,
Yeah, you bleed just to know you're alive.
And I don't want the world to see me,
'Cause I don't think that they'd understand.
When everythings made to be broken,
I just want you to know who I am.
It turns out instead of just singing, like I had originally planned on doing, I was actually pouring my heart out to her. Staring into her deep brown orbs. She had pulled into her drive way, (she really didn't live that far from school at all, but she also drove pretty fast.) parked her car and turned to stare at me, waiting for me to sing again.
And I don't want the world to see me,
'Cause I don't think that they'd understand.
When everything's made to be broken,
I just want you to know who I am.
And I don't want the world to see me,
'Cause I don't think that they'd understand.
When everything's made to be broken,
I just want you to know who I am.
I just want you to know who I am.
I just want you to know who I am.
I just want you to know who I am.
"The world doesn't understand me, but you do."
