InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ Bad Boys Don't Blush ❯ First Day ( Chapter 1 )

“Beep…beep…beep”

 

I groaned at having to wake up so early, and laid in bed for another 5 minutes hoping time would miraculously reverse itself back to the beginning of summer, or at least until I could get 10 more minutes of sleep. As my alarm clock droned on I realized that wasn't going to happen and rolled out of bed, right into a pile of dirty laundry. `Mom is so gonna kill me.'

 

“Kagome hurry up and get ready or you're going to be late!”

“Sure thing Mom!”

 

First day back jitters were getting to me and I hadn't even walked into school yet. I spotted my three friends Eri, Yuka, and Ayumi gossiping away about God knows what. Just as I was about to see what the big commotion was about I saw Him. Now this Him is no ordinary him. This Him was voted most popular guy in the school, best athlete, and he's President of the student council. This is Houjo, also known as my long-term crush of two years. I know I probably should have given up by now, but can you blame me? This guy has it all, looks, smarts, and a great body to top it all off. Face it, this guy is perfect, and I was hopelessly in love. I couldn't wait for the day where he would walk over and literally sweep me off my feet. Unfortunately, I was still waiting.

“ Kagome!”

“ Hey Kagome, come on or we're gonna be late!”

 

I looked around and noticed during my day dreaming, the bell had rung and I was left standing in the middle of the courtyard. I blushed at my stupidity and hurried to the door beside my friends, vaguely hearing what sounded to be a motorcycle.

 

 

First period was boring as usual, but by second period, people were buzzing with talk, especially the girls.

“ Did you see him?”

“Who was he?”

“He must be new…”

 

I had no idea who they were talking about, but I knew someone who would.

“ Hey Yuka, what's going on? Who is everyone talking about?”

“You mean you don't know? Jeez Kagome where ya been all morning?”

 

I stared at her with a confused, and slightly annoyed, look on my face. She must have noticed because she continued on…

“ It's a new student, and evidently this one's got quite an attitude, he even told Mrs. Tamori off in first period!”

 

I stood in the middle of the hall gaping at her with my mouth wide open. NO ONE told Mrs. Tamori off and lived to tell about it. And he did it on the first day too! He was either really gutsy, or really stupid, either way I had to meet him. But by the end of third period, I was really wishing I hadn't.

 

I walked in the classroom only to stop in the doorway staring at the single most gorgeous guy I had ever laid eyes upon. I quickly sat down in my seat, still staring at Mr. Tall Dark and Handsome wondering what he would be like. I wonder if he would be as nice as he is handsome, or if he was romantic... are those keys to a motorcycle?

 

“ Hey stupid, are you deaf or something? I asked you what your damn problem was!”

 

All my fantasies came screeching to a halt as soon as I realized the rude obnoxious jerk addressing me was actually the object of my day dreams, just my luck. Just as I was about to come up with a witty retort for Mr. Jerkface, a middle aged teacher walked in.

“ Alright welcome to speech. I'm Miss Tanaka, and assuming all of you know how to speak Ill cut right to the chase. Every one of you should make at least a B in this class and if not, Congratulations, you are very talented. We're starting the year right away with a project to be done in pairs…”

Everyone anxiously grabbed the hands of their friends…

“…that I will be choosing.”

 

A collection of groans could be heard throughout the classroom.

 

“You are to do a speech about a partner, what they like to do, their family, be creative.”

 

I absently doodled in my notebook, not really caring one way or the other, and still slightly embarrassed about what happened earlier, that I almost missed my name being called, and the person I was paired with.

 

“ Kagome Higurashi and Inuyasha Saito”

 

My stomach dropped to my toes as I nervously glanced over at the arrogant jerk, who was busy sulking, complete with his arms crossed, chin down, and lower lip stuck out. I might have thought that insanely cute any other day, but NOT when I just found out he was the person I was supposed to “get to know”.

 

“You may use the last few minutes of class to get better aquatinted with your partner.”

 

I reluctantly slunk to the seat next to his.

“Soooooo” I began

“Wow, so you really can speak, I'm impressed.”

 

I chose to ignore his sarcastic humor, choosing instead to start on this project.

“ So what's your family like” I asked

“Don't care.”

 

“ Ok…. do you have any pets?”

“Maybe”

 

“What are your hobbies?”

“Wouldn't you like to know”

 

“Look why are you in speech anyway if---“

“Art, you have to much homework, and as for chorus…”

His eyes darkened,

“…I do NOT sing.”

 

After going through many gruesome questions in which he either said “ Don't care” or another rude comment, I was officially ticked off.

 

“Okay, do you want to start with my speech about you or what?” I asked as we left, in a final gesture to try and make some form of contact with the man I was convinced was a robot only programmed to say certain phrases.

“Who cares.”

 

That was it. I was done. After getting absolutely nowhere in class other that he didn't like to sing, I had started jabbering on about myself and my family, only to find out later that he had his headphones on and wasn't listening to a thing I said. I reached up and grabbed part of his perfect hair and yanked him down to my size.

 

“Listen, I don't like you any more than you like me, but I will get an A on this whether you like it or not!” I ended, shouting right up in his face.

 

He could only nod his head up and down in compliance. Satisfied, I let go and pranced off, leaving him frozen to his spot… okay, so maybe I did go a little overboard, he looked pretty scared.

 

“ See ya tomorrow, oh, and since its ok with you, we can start on my speech first, you can come over tomorrow after school, here's my address!” I quickly wrote in on a piece of paper, tossing it back to him without a second glance.

 

I smirked silently to myself as I made it to lunch. Heh, me 1 immature jerk 0.
