InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ From Klutz To Supermodel... ❯ Run-In In Lunchtime ( Chapter 1 )
[ P - Pre-Teen ]
Hi guys! Thanks to those who send in their reviews! Expect me to be updating some time soon!
Disclaimer: I don't own Inu-Yasha or any of the characters in his gang….
Miss Lebensraum is our teacher in Home Ec. I like her. She is a big, jolly, German woman with several chins and great sense of humor. The rumor is that she always asks us to bake brownies, cakes and pies so that she can all eat them after we leave the room!
We have Home Ec. Right after lunch so we aren't much hungry so all of the food gets left in the Home Ec. Room.
I always look forward to the class. Partly because Miss Lebensraum is funny and partly because it is one subject with no home works! The only bad thing about the subject is that Kikyo is there too!
Kikyo and I had a little run-in in the cafeteria. I sat down at the far end of the table, as far away from her as possible. But I could still hear her telling some eight-graders, “Higurashi tried to fly at math class!” everyone stared at me and laughed.
“You tripped me, Kikyo!” I shouted angrily. I was eating egg salad sandwich , and my mouthful of eggs dribbled into my shirt when I shouted. Everyone laughed even harder.
I started to get up and get over her. I don't even know what I was thinking of doing. Luckily, someone grabbed my hand and pulled me back into my chair before I was able to do something I might regret! I breathe for a couple of seconds and kept myself together.
I titled my head up to see the school hottie, Inu-Yasha, sitting across the table. That moment I knew it was one of Kikyo's pranks! I dropped my sandwich and shrugged.
“Go away!” I said, not sounding too harshly but commanding. “I'm not in the mood for pranks!”
Instead, he dropped his lunch bag, turned the chair backwards and sat.
“Couldn't you seat some place else?!” I cried.
He stood up, glanced around the whole cafeteria and then sat again. “I don't know.”
Inu-Yasha was cute. He has dark amber eye, great hair which is followed his moves and a funny crooked smile.
Inu-Yasha pulled out an orange from his lunch bag and started peeling it.
“I'm glad you came by,” I said softly. “I was about to get up and murder Kikyo over there!”
“Don't murder Kikyo!” he advised. “You'll get into trouble!”
I laughed, a scornful laugh, “You kidding? I'd get an award!”
“If you murder Kikyo, then your basketball team will never win another game!” he said, popping an orange in his mouth.
“That's mean!” I exclaimed. I throw a balled-up aluminium foil at him.
He was right, of course. Kikyo was the best player on our team, the Gruslen's Griffins. She was the only good player.
I really hadn't wanted to be on the team. I knew I'd stink. But Mr. O'Gara insisted. He is the girl's basketball team coach. Well, substitute coach.
“Kagome, you're tall!” he said. “You've got to play! You're a natural!”
Yeah, a natural klutz!
I was good at walking and everything but running was a different matter. I couldn't even dribble well, or either pass or rebound.
“Hey, Kagome?” Inu-Yasha said breaking my thoughts. “I've really got to go now.”
He pulled out something from his bag and handed it to me.
“What's this?” I asked, puzzled.
“It's lamb chops simmered in lemon zest. My favourite!” he exclaimed. “and don't worry, my mom doesn't use poison in cooking!”
With that, he hurried off to his next subject. Then the bell rang and I rushed straight to Home Ec. Room. Where I totally lost it.
