Summary: Kaoru Kamiya is a 17-year-old senior in high school and develops a crush on her teacher, a young, handsome, 28-year-old named Kenshin Himura. But could it be true love or just a schoolgirl crush?

Chapter 1: First Day

Kaoru Kamiya was having her first day of school. She was now a senior in high school and was 17. She hated getting up early in the morning, but now she had to. Summer was gone now. No more going to the beaches, no more going to the movies, no more weekday late nights, and no more weekday sleep in lates. However, Kaoru would just have to live with it for a year. She was excited because it was her first day of senior year. So she got ready and headed out to go to school.

She got there by the first warning bell and immediately headed to her locker. She went to her first several classes, which consisted of history, math, and science. However, when she entered her English class she saw a new teacher. "Hello, I'm Mr. Himura. I'll be your English teacher for this year. Now open to page 13 in your grammar book and will begin with the nouns and pronouns." Everyone sighed disappointingly, but for Kaoru it was different. Kaoru found Mr. Himura to be very handsome. She liked his red hair and his kind smile. She tried not to get sucked in too much over him. She did have a boyfriend named Enishi Yukihirsho (A/N: forgot how to spell his name correctly) who she cared for deeply. After all she just found Mr. Himura attractive and kind and nothing more than that. She cared for Enishi very much it was to bad that he went to college because he was 19 and all, but she often thought of him and imagined that he was next to her right now just sitting there learning while she glanced at him once or twice every five minutes.

Kaoru sighed knowing that she wouldn't see Enishi till later. Oh well, I guess I'll just wait till I see him tonight. I'm so excited about the important thing he needs to talk to me about. Maybe he wants to go steady with me. Could I be ready for that? Well, I'll see tonight. After her little daydream Kaoru turned her attention to Mr. Himura's teachings. She felt somewhere inside of her that there was something about him that made her feel a little beat in her heart whenever he spoke. What are you thinking Kaoru you have a boyfriend who you really like and care about. Get your mind out of the gutter and ignore it already. Kaoru's relief came to her when the bell rang. She didn't know why but she felt a teensy bit sad at the thought that English ended so soon. She didn't get it, maybe it was because she was curious about this new teacher that seemed so mysterious to her she didn't know, all she knew was that she couldn't wait to see Enishi for she hadn't seen him all summer do to the fact that he took a summer job in the United States and hadn't seen him for the longest time. The day went by slowly and pretty soon she was on her way home to get ready for her date. ( A/N: Thanks for reading.) 1st Fic. Please read and review. Ch. two should be in later today or tomorrow.
