A Dream To Die For.

Who could it be? Who could be the one to save me from this place people call earth. You make one mistake and everybody judges you. Some people can get away with it, but can all of us? I wish everyone could. You know how people say every dream comes true if you try hard enough? Well that's not true for everyone. Not me of course. I mean this place isn't that bad, but something urges me I don't belong here. Could it be someone I know? Could it be someone I don't know? Could it be I'm just tired? Could it be my dreams? I have no idea what it could be. This is just a place that doesn't seem like home. Where I feel different. Maybe I'm just not thinking straight? Am I going crazy? That's what it feels like to me on the inside though I don't show it. I show a quiet girl who speaks to her friends, but hides away when she is around people she doesn't know, or people she doesn't trust. There are only a few of those here with me. I look up as I hear my name being called.

"Neko!"

"What?"

"Come up, and answer number 4 please." my algebra 1 teacher spoke in a harsh tone. I got up, and too the marker from him, and answer the question as fast as I could. This was a simple problem to me, but highly difficult to everyone else.

"Correct." He smiled at me as I took my seat.

"She is as smart as cat." Someone snarled at me. The class erupted in laughter. I hid my face with my arms. My name means cat in Japanese, and I live in Japan so what did you expect. My mom is a cat lady so it made sense.

"Who said that?" Someone stood up, and yelled. I looked up to see the teacher yelling it." Fine don't answer. Everyone in here has homework besides Neko. p 678 3-61 all of them." Everyone groaned. After class everyone gave me death stares.

"It wasn't my fault." I said.

"Yes it is. You're the one with the cat name idiot." Someone yelled.

"It's not my fault. I didn't pick that name. I'm gonna just start going by my real name, not my middle name. I'll no longer be Neko. I'll be known as Kagome."I mumbled the last two parts.

"What was that? You didn't meow loud enough."

"Leave me alone."I growled. They backed up seeing I was angry.

"Aw I touched a nerve did I."

"Get away from me."

"Not my fault your mother is crazy. You'll be just like her too watch."

"Don't talk about my mom like that!" I yelled.

"I would, but it would make you happy."

"Jasi! Principals office now!" My math teacher yelled.

"Thank you." I said, and took off. I ran home, and hugged my mom.

"Mom I want to go by Kagome. The kids are so mean."

"Honey things will get better. You can go by Kagome if you want. It's your decision."

"Thanks mom." Nobody knows my name is Kagome. My mom has me at the school as Neko.

"Hey mom do you think it can just be me, and you tonight? Not Sota or Gramps."

"I think we can do that. Or we can do it this weekend where we can go out of town!"

"I like that idea, and Gramps, and Sota can have a guy weekend!" I hugged her tighter.

"Good idea now lets go make dinner." My mom went to the kitchen, and I went upstairs to my room to do my homework. I finished it all in no time. I don't know why, but all subjects come easy to me. My ancestors must have been smart or something. I honestly regret yelling at Jasi early. I regret when I'm mean to people which doesn't happen very often. Kids say I'm too nice. They say its a good thing so it's easy to get to me. I think they should be nicer instead of being mean. I laid my head down, and sobbed quietly. I cleaned up my face, and started to walked downstairs to my mother.

"Can I go on a walk?"

"Sure. Just take your phone so I can call you when you should come home."

"Okay thanks mom." I walked outside in my school uniform. It was a green skirt with a white blouse that has green on it. I looked at the woods, and decided its too late to go in there. So I just started walking along the side walk after walking down the stairs. I walked around until I suddenly fell luckily I caught myself with my hands instead of my face. I looked up to see Jasi, and a few others.

"Oh look the cat fell." I got up, and started to walk away.

"Wait Neko."Jasi said.

I turned around looking at them.

"Cat got your tongue Neko?"

"My name is not Neko!" I yelled.

"Then what is it? Huh Inu like a dog?"

"It's Kagome! Ka Go Me!" I yelled.

"No it's not. It's Neko."

"No it's Kagome. Go look at my birth certificate!"I yelled.

"Then why Neko?"A guy asked.

Because my mom wanted me to go by that, but I don't want to anymore. I stuck with it since I was born to now. I'm 15! Imagine being made fun of for 15 years!"

"It's so easy though Neko."

"I'm no Neko." I said, and walked past them back home.

"Oh Neko- I mean Kagome you're back early." My mother said.

"Yea my walk wasn't so pleasing."

"Kids?"

"Yep. So Sota how was your day?"

"It was great! All my friends want to meet you actually."

"Really? Why?"

"They don't like how you're treated by their siblings. Plus they think you're smart,pretty, and they like you're name. Both of them!"

"Aw they sound sweet. I would love to meet them."

"Really. I'll tell them tomorrow. So how was your day sis?"

"The usual, but my math teacher has been helpful. So has my History teacher. Since we started talking about the feudal era."

"Strange I remember that teacher when he didn't want you as a student, but now he's helping you out."Sota said.

"Hmm. I don't know, but I'm gonna head off for bed. Goodnight guys love ya." I yelled walking to my bed.
