Chapter 1: Meetings
~~~~~~~~~~~~
The morning sun shone brightly through the light coloured curtains in Kagome's room. It was the first day of the new, and last, school year and she was not looking forward to it at all. Her best friend, Kikyou, had moved away at the beginning of last summer to Italy. And so far the prospect of making new friends seemed bleak. She didn't know anyone at the school because she had never bothered to make new friends she had always had Kikyou.

"Mom! Where's my backpack? I had it by the stairs this morning!" Kagome yelled as she hopped down the hall pulling on her socks.

"I put it by the door hunny!" Her mother called back." I thought it would be more convenient for you."

Kagome picked up her backpack and looked at the clock. "Oh, shit! I'm going to be late for school! On the first day too!" She yelled bye to her mom than was out the door.

When she arrived at the school she checked in with the office to get her timetable. She had Math in the morning, then Social in the afternoon. "Ah, shit. I hate math! How am i supposed to do it this year?" Kagome said to herself. "I wish Kikyou was here than she could help me. She was so good at math."

"Did I just here somebody say they hated math?" Kagome looked up. She was looking at a girl with long black hair, chocolate brown eyes, and prominent features.

"Yes, you did." Kagome said forcefully, almost with a hint of anger. The dark haired girl laughed.

"Yay! I'm not the only one who hates math! When do you have it?" She asked her cheeriness was almost overwhelming.

"In the morning, first block. Quite possibly the worst place it could have been put!"

"Really now? I also have it in the morning, now I have somebody to share my hatred with! The name's Sango, what's yours?" She asked stretching her hand out. Kagome grasped it laughing slightly.

"Nice to meet you. I'm Kagome." The exchange was awkward but good. The handshake was like a silent sealing of a friendship.

"All right Kagome, lets go to class. I want to get this evil subject over with." Sango and Kagome walked into the class and sat at the back. This way they would be able to pay the least attention possible and not get in trouble as often. The teacher, who was standing at the front of the classroom, coughed slightly to gain the attention of the students.

"Hello class. Today is the first day of the new school year and I don't want to get off to a bad start." The teacher went to the board and wrote her name down. "My name is Miss Keade and I will try to make math as fun as it can possibly be."

"Like she'll be able to do that," Sango whispered to Kagome. The teacher turned around and looked at the pair.

"What did you say Miss Sango?"

"I said that you probably won't be able to make math fun. Its a stupid, boring subject with just about no purpose in life." All the kids nodded their heads in agreement. "And, the only reason I take math is because i'm forced too." A boy in the front turned around and looked at Sango, than raised his hand.

"Miss Keade." The boy stood up.

"Yes, Miroku?"

"I just want to say that I totally agree with Sango, and that if I didn't have to be here i wouldn't." The boy, Miroku, sat down. The teacher nodded, she was completely unaffected by this.

Kagome stood up and waited until the teacher acknowleged her. "Yes Kagome?"

"I just want to say something to the class."

"Go ahead."

"I want to ask them if we should put a challenge up to you."

"What kind of challenge?"

"If you can make math fun, for this term, we, the class, will pay you 100.00. But if you can't make the math class fun you have to pay the class 25 dollars each."

Miroku raised his hand and added "Everyone in the class has to get good marks too. Or else it doesn't count."

Miss Keade was silent for a minute than asked the class "If you like this idea and want it to happen raise your hand." Everybody in the class raised their hand except for one kid who was sleeping but he was woken up and he raised his hand. "Ok, it's a unanimous decsion. We will start it tomorrow. And I won't lose so get ready to pay up."

Everybody in the class started laughing. "Sure, sure. You get ready to pay up Miss Keade."

"See i'm winning already." The whole class groaned. Miss Keade laughed.

A knock sounded on the door. When it opened the boy who had been sleeping, narrowed his eyes at the person standing in the door. "You," he said.
