There they are.
I can hear the begrudging whisperings and the envious sighs.
The perfect couple.
How I hate them.
Sorry.
How I hate her.
She stole him from me.
I am his best friend and confidante.
His love.
I have always loved him.
And I believed if she hasn't bewitched him, he would have loved me back.
The cunning enchantress.
I will save him from her constraining clutches.
I will tear off her charming deceitful facade.
I will make him open his eyes and see the 'real' her.
I will be there to comfort him and love him when his heart breaks.
I will always be there for him.
And he will finally know who he really loves.
For it is written in the stars.

"Class, settle down! Quiet!" Ochi-sensei raised her voice to order the class to stop their chattering.
"Thank you. Now that I have your attention, I would like for you to welcome the latest addition to our cosy little class. Come in."
The new transfer student walked in and Kurosaki Ichigo was in love.
But so were all the male population of the class. And a few closet cases.
"H-hello," She nervously greeted her new classmates in her soft, sweet, melodious voice and Ichigo fell even more deeply in love.
"M-my name is..."
"Louder!" Some jealous bitch shouted and Ichigo frowned at the interruption.
"A little louder." The sensei smiled in encouragement.
The fidgeting girl composed herself and holding her school bag tightly, she introduced herself again.
"I am Inoue Orihime. It's a pleasure to meet you all." She bowed gracefully.
Her fellow classmates started firing questions at her.
"Where are you from?"
"Do you have brothers or sisters?"
"Do you have a boyfriend?"
"Can I be your boyfriend?"
"Are you still a virgin?"
"What!?" Ochi-sensei was incensed. "Who said that! You do not need to answer any of the questions, now or ever, Inoue." The sensei assured the blushing beauty. "And if anyone should bully you, you know you can always come to me." The sensei has taken a liking to this gentle polite girl. "Wait, I will assign a reliable person to protect you." Hands shot up, volunteering to be the 'bodyguard'.
Ochi-sensei seeked out the one she has her mind set on.
'A beautiful name for a beautiful princess.' Ichigo was lost in his own world.
"Kurosaki, lift your hand to show Inoue where she will be seated."
There was no response.
Orihime saw a brightly orange colored set of hair. The owner of the hair was the only one not looking at her. She smiled lightly at his cheerful hair.
"Kurosaki!"
And a missile was launched at him.
Ichigo awaken just in time to dodge the speeding projectile aiming for his head.
"Sorry." Turning behind, he smirked at the one who was caught in the friendly fire. He took the duster from him. The victim dusted himself and sneezed violently a few times. He tried to glare at Ichigo but he has to rush to the washroom to blow his nose.
Ochi-sensei pitied the sneezing boy and did not stop him from running out without asking for permission. She pointed Ichigo to Orihime and her heart started fluttering like a hummingbird's wings.
"That's the idiot who will be helping you. Kurosaki, give me back the duster." Ochi-sensei ordered him.
Ichigo dutifully stood up and walked towards the teacher,
and the princess.
Both hearts were throbbing frantically at the coming meeting.
Step by step, and then he was there in front of her.
Intense inquisitive chocolate eyes met timid twinkling honey eyes.
Ochi-sensei felt herself enchanted by the scene in front of her. She could feel the chemistry between the two unlikely individuals. There was definitely a spark. 'To be young and in love.' She thought wistfully.
"Kurosaki Ichigo, Inoue Orihime" She introduced the two struck by cupid's arrows classmates.
Orihime held out her hand after a slight bow and Ichigo handed her the duster.
The whole class erupted into a riotous laughter.
Ochi-sensei took the comedy item from Orihime and told the two red-faced teenagers to go back to their seats.
"Oh yes, Inoue, you will be sitting next to Kurosaki." Ochi-sensei noticed the startled look from her students and then one appeared slightly excited and the other, relief?
Orihime nodded and meekly followed Ichigo.
Ichigo did not trust his voice and so he just pointed to the table besides his before sitting down.
"Thank you, Kurosaki-kun." He heard her said softly.
Bracing himself for the impact, he turned to look at her and the two hearts came together as one.
But the path to true love never did run smoothly for a pair of scheming vindictive eyes wwas already plotting to tear them apart, even though they were destined to be together, now and forever.

(I know I should not start with another story but this story was inspired, no frustrated into writing by the bitching of a casual friend during lunch, going on and on about our mutual friend's relationship. I like the new couple, I think they're good for each other. But the resentful nonstop bitching for the past few weeks is really getting on my nerves. No wonder, he's with her and not you. Meow. :P)
(Any suggestion as to who the jealous insane classmate should be? Definitely not Tatsuki. Anybody you all hate? Or should I create a new oc?)
