Entertainment In the Human World
Disclaimer: I do not own Bleach, none of the characters sigh though I wouldn't mind owning them, as wonderful as they are…
A/N: This story is dedicated to my friend Kayla for all our fun in creating the Pick Up Line Book.
Hope everyone enjoys it. )

Rukia POV:
This is probably the millionth time I've said this, but the humans of this world do some really strange things. Oh, well. At least I can impress Ichigo with my newly acquired skill and knowledge.
Ichigo POV:
Sometimes I wonder about the direction this planet is taking. I mean a completely ridiculous and obnoxious pick up line? And to have an entire school day dedicated to it? I think the school has officially gone insane. I see nothing that can connect pick up lines to creative writing. Whoever is in charge of this school decided today would be pick up line day, and every time you used a pick up line you got a 1/8 point added to your lowest subjects average. Idiotic way to receive points.
Rukia is probably confuzzled. (A/N: Confuzzled is a word used by a friend who likes to manipulate the English language to suit her. Replaces confused.) Where the heck would she learn what a pick up line is?
Then it hit me.
Rukia was naïve enough to actually fall for a pick up line. Oh, crap.
Rukia POV:
Wow. These guys telling me how much they love me and how beautiful I am… Well, let's just say that Ichigo never says these nice things to me.
On the announcements this morning, the principal told us that today was "pick up line" day. As much as I enjoy the ideas of the human world, this one is pretty stupid.
So, here I sit, listening, not so attentively, to see who will make the biggest fool of themselves for a lousy 1/8 point, counting down the time until I see what the biggest fool of all, Ichigo, will do. Now was the time to plan. Do I make him jealous or blow him away with my knowledge of the human world's pick up lines? Not a hard decision to make, but we'll see how it turns out. For now, I'll sit and listen to Ishida making a fool of himself while Sado sits there chuckling at the stupidity of this day. Ishida was talking to Inoue and me.
"I put a tear into the ocean," he was saying with feeling, "and I will not stop loving you until I find that tear."
Inoue giggled and Tetsuki, in her over-protection of Inoue, punched him in the stomach. I saw Ichigo come around the corner at a hell-bent run, a determined expression on his face. Of course, by then I had made my decision on what I would do.
I pretended to swoon. Ishida looked confused at my sudden interest, so I winked and brought my eyes to Ichigo's face. I could see when comprehension dawned in his eyes, along with it came a hint of devilment. He snickered good naturedly.
I pretended to swoon until Ichigo came into hearing range.
"Ishida, I love you more than an EMO loves girl pants," I said, amazed that I could keep a straight face.
"Rukia, I love you so much that I would fight Kenpachi to the death 10 times just to cast my eyes on your beautiful face."
I risked a glance at Ichigo. He looked kind of confuzzled, and kind of angry.
So, of course, I pretended to swoon again.
As he drug me away in an angry stupor, he grumbled, "Idiots!" under his breath.
Jealousy is a very entertaining and endearing emotion in this world.
