Topsy Turvy

Chapter 1

 

He stared. Not knowing what to do, not knowing what to say. All he knew was that she was standing in front of him with her back to him, and this was his chance; his chance to say hello. He slowly stretched his hand forward and apprehensively reached for her shoulder.

 

She took a step forward and his hand dropped. Today was not going to be his day. When he'd woken up earlier that day he had hoped, he had wished, that today would be the day he would talk to her. He sighed, guess not today.

 

Miroku saw his friend across from the cafeteria and walked over to him, shaking his head in pity. “Inuyasha, have you still not talked to her?” he teased in a light tone, “get a grip, man, just talk to her.”

 

“I will one day talk to her. Today's just not my day,” his ego bruised.

 

“Well, Yasha, you better be quick.”

 

“Keh, I'll take my time.”

 

Miroku sighed and looked towards the girl of his friend's dream, “Yeah, but that guy going towards her seems to be in a rush.”

 

Inuyasha turned around and saw what his friend was talking about. Why did this happen? Everyday another guy went up to her and flirted with her. And everyday he watched on the sidelines, hopefully waiting for the day he had enough courage to talk to her. Two years had gone by and with junior year coming to an end he had yet spoken a single syllable to her.

 

She was the most popular girl in school. Him, well, he was just a ghost. No one talked to him, no one knew him, and no one knew he existed. All except one man, his friend Miroku. They had been friends since they met in kindergarten. Miroku knew almost everything about him and most of the time used that to his advantage. Inuyasha sighed again. Why did he have to be nonexistent?

 

“Dude, snap out of it, man,” Miroku shoved his friend, “I told you, you should make a move.”

 

“Yeah, aren't you the funny one. What is a girl like that like in me? She's popular, I'm not. She's smart, I'm not. She's beautiful . . .” Inuyasha sighed and looked away, “and well, I'm not. I don't play football, I am not the valedictorian, nor am I going to Harvard.”

 

The signal of lunch ending went off and Miroku pulled his friend out of the cafeteria and started walking towards their class next class, Biology, “So what man, so you're not those things, why do you have to be?”

 

Inuyasha gave him a peeved look and walked inside the classroom and took his usual seat in the back. “Yeah, but a girl like that deserves someone who is going somewhere, not some guy is just going nowhere.”

 

Miroku sighed, “Whatever, man, it's not like she is the valedictorian, captain of the football team, and is going to Harvard.”

 

“Very funny Miroku,” he shot him a glare. Miroku sat in the next seat, taking out his books and turned to Inuyasha.

“Come on,” he points to the girl three rows in front of them, “why don't you date someone like her?” Inuyasha looked towards where his friend was pointing. She was pretty, but nothing spectacular.

 

^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^&*^*^*^*^*^*^*^

 

Kagome was nervous. He was talking about her, she could tell. Why was his friend, Miroku, pointing at her? Were they making fun of her? Typical, all the guys made fun of her just because she didn't date and had no chest. Figured, the one guy she had a crush on was making fun of her. She sighed and thought about his unique amber eyes she loved.

 

^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^&*^*^*^*^*^*^*^

 

Inuyasha snorted. The girl was nothing special, so why date her? She was in some of his classes, but he didn't really pay attention to her. She seemed normal; nothing out of the ordinary. “Keh, I am not dating a wench like her.”

 

“Inuyasha, you should appreciate all females a little bit more, maybe you would drop the idea of one perfect girl- they can all be perfect.”

 

“Pervert, as long as a human has two X chromosomes, you'll date it.”

 

“So what if I appreciate women, as long as they appreciate me.”

 

Inuyasha turned toward Miroku, “And they say I am des-”

 

“Inuyasha and Miroku!” barked the biology teacher Ms. Kaede, “I don't know if you two have realized class has started but it has. What was the last thing I said?”

 

Inuyasha glared at the woman, “I don't know.”

 

“Of course not,” the teacher looked at the whole class, “I will repeat myself. For the rest of the year, two months until summer, a boy and a girl will be paired up. Their job is to take care of a “baby”.”

 

Everyone in the class groaned at another parenting lesson and Inuyasha rolled his eyes. “Your job is to understand the role of the parent, to know what it requires to take care of a baby, and experience responsibility. Now, I know most of you will be shirking this assignment, so I decided to change that. This assignment, as of now, will be fifty percent of your grade. Basically . . . you fail this project you fail this class.”

 

The class was silent. People looked around, but the person in most shock was Inuyasha. There was no way he was going to waste his time with a girl and a flour sack just to pass a course. He groaned and his peers seemed to agree with him . . . everyone objected.

 

“Quiet . . . there are no substitutes and no changes to the project,” the teacher glanced at Inuyasha and gave him a warning look, “Now, class, put your name on a piece of paper and put it in a bowl.”

 

“Why?” Kagome ventured to ask, hoping the partners wouldn't be randomly drawn.

 

“Because, girls and boys, fate is going to decide who your partner is.”

 

Another groan filled the classroom and the biology teacher smiled, this was her favorite part of the year. She walked around the class and collected the slips of paper.

 

Inuyasha glanced at the girl of his dreams and hoped she would be his partner, if only the gods loved him. Kagome also glanced around, but her aim was Inuyasha. She knew he didn't like her, but she hoped the gods were on her side, just his once.

 

The teacher stood at the front of the classroom and peered at the class. One by one she took the slips out of the bowl. She called the partners out one by one and one by one Inuyasha and his mysterious partner were not called. After a few partners, his dream girl was called.

 

His name did not follow. He dropped his head and pouted. Just his luck, the gods didn't love him. However, a few seconds later his name was called.

 

The next name that was called out verified that Kagome had the gods on her side.

 

Kagome Higurashi was his partner.

 

Author's Note: So, did you like it? It was really short, but I am going to make them longer as I go. Don't worry; the plot is not as predictable as you think. Yes, the idea has probably been done, but the title is Topsy Turvy, so enjoy! Tell me what you think!
