The Second Reality

 

 

“And that's when I won the award for best actress…”

 

My mother has been bragging for the last two and a half hours. As one can tell, I was stuck in the same room with my mother, listening to her egotistical rants for those two and a half hours. It wasn't easy. Although I was and still am bored out of my mind, my mother's once in a while glares has kept me awake. As for the reporter…

 

“That's amazing! Not only are you an award winning actress but you're kind, gentle, and caring. Your kids must be really lucky to have a mother like you.”

 

“Your kids must be lucky to have a mother like you,” I repeat in thoughts. Where did you get that from? If I was in the mood, I'll be glad to tell you about how “lucky” I am. That wouldn't happen. Mom would never allow me to tell him my side of the story. Then again, he won't believe me. He probably has no idea that I am still here. He's too into Mom. It's like he's under some kind of spell.

 

“Kagome, darling, get dressed. The guests will be arriving soon,” my mom suddenly announced. I suddenly realize that the interview is over. The reporter is collecting his things and …what did she just say?

 

Did she say guests? What guests? I don't know what she's talking about. I just stare at her with a look of confusion. The only response I receive from her is an icy stare. I think that I better leave the room.

 

 

This is so typical of Mother. She always has a party once in a while. However, she doesn't tell me about it until the last minute. She probably does it to humiliate me. Yes, that must be it. I am now in front of my closet. I can not find anything to wear. It's not like my closet is empty. It's just most of my clothes do not suit my mother's taste. Just when I'm about to give up, a knock on my door comes to my hearing. I go and open it. It's a maid. She has in her arms a blue dress with matching shoes and earrings. She says this is what mom wants me to wear. I thank her and take them from her. Mom already chose my clothes for me. After I went through all that trouble searching for an outfit, she finally sends the clothes that she wanted me to wear. Unbelievable!

 

I finally arrive at the party. I am dressed all in blue like my mother requested. I feel like a blueberry. Blue earrings, blue hairpiece, blue necklace, blue dress, and blue shoes and don't forget the light blue eye shadow. Now my situation is clear. No one cares though. Once they see me, they all crone about how cute I look. My cheek is open for the pinching fingers of old women there at this event. I dread them but thankfully they don't come. Everyone is too busy staring at my mother. She's dressed in all in white. Everyone is charmed by her, not even caring that she looks like a phantom in her outfit. I start to walk away; I don't need to see my mother's live performance. I didn't I look where I was going. I bump into someone. I look up to apologize but the words almost die in my throat. The person I bumped into was on one other than Inuyasha. What is he doing here? I force myself to say that I was sorry but when I look up again, he isn't there. He left before I…how rude!

 

Some time has passed since the party started. Inuyasha is still here but some guests have left. Every time I come near him, he walks away. I have given up on him. I look at my mother now. It's getting close to that time. She'll get drunk. Then, she'll do what she always does whenever she is intoxicated. I don't want to watch. I've seen it to many times. I think I'll go to bed early.

 

Some time later…

 

I'm in room thinking about what I was going to do after school tomorrow. I have long taken out the blues and am now dressed in my pajamas. I know tomorrow is a half day but how am I going to spend it? I should go visit my grandparents. It's going to be hard since Mom has cut them off. Going to see them is taboo according to my mother. I don't care though. I have no idea why she hates them so much. They're not so bad. Speaking of mother, where is she? I look out the window. There aren't that many cars outside. The party should be over. My curiosity is growing. I creep out of my room and sneak towards the guest hall. I crack the door open and look inside. One word can describe what I see. That word is chaos. Broken glasses, food all over the place and my mother's voice cursing the remaining guests. She continues to throw more plates at the wall. I'm not so surprised because I expected this. I silently hope for one thing. I open the door wider. I don't see Inuyasha. I'm happy for that. Now, I can go to bed.

 

The next day…

 

“All right class, settle down. I have a new project to assign to you.”

 

I quickly block out the images of the previous night that still lingered in my head. I'm in the middle of psychology class. The teacher is still talking.

 

“This is going to count as 35% of your final grade in this class.”

 

The class groans their frustration. The teacher waits for us to be quiet before he continues.

 

“The name of your assignment is Who am I? This project is made of two parts. The first part is for you to answer. That is worth 20 percent. The second part will be done with a partner. That is worth 15percent. I have already chosen the pairs, so pay attention...”

 

I have asked myself that question a lot but I never expected to be graded on it. I just wish I'll be working with some compatible.

 

“Kagome is with …Inuyasha”

 

Well, there goes that wish! Why did it have to be him? I quickly look at my soon to-be partner. All I get is a look filled with annoyance and hate.

 

“Now that we've gotten that covered,” stated the teacher as he took out a book, “ I'll like to assign-”

The ringing of the bell cut off the words he was about to say. I silently pack my things and exit the room. I wish school will end soon. This is one wish that better come true.

 

After School…

 

My wish for school to be over came true when the final bell echoed through the school. I'm definitely not going to go home now. There's no telling what Mom will do next. She's been extra cold lately. The reason: Tsubaki. She's mom's biggest rival in the acting biz. It seems that once again she and Mom are competing for the same role in some movie. Tsubaki is probably the cause of Mom's rampage last night. It will be a good idea for me to stay clear of home. While I'm trying to think on what to do next, I feel a pair of eyes watching me. I decide to ignore I, silently hoping that it's all part of my imagination. Well, it didn't work. Finally, I turn around to see if there really is someone behind me. As it turned out, there really is someone watching me.

 

His golden eyes meet mine as they continue to glare at me.

 

“Inuyasha?”

 

 

 

 

 

That's it…for now. Is the story going too fast? I don't think so. There is more yet to come which means this story is probably going to be more than 10 chapters. Anyways, does anyone know what type of movies Tsubaki or Kikyo will be interested in performing? I have an idea but I have to come up with titles for them. I don't really see Tsubaki in many fanfics so I choose her to be a rival. She really was Kikyo's rival in the Manga and the anime. Thank you all for reading and reviewing. I hope I'll hear from you guys again.

 

 

Later Days!
