"Eh?" Michiru blinked in disbelief at the exam scoring chart set up in the hallway. "Third? In the whole school?"

"Eh heh...," her ginger-haired companion chuckled sheepishly.

The shorter, less developed girl turned her stunned awe on the individual in question. "You're only five points below Ryou! Nine below Ishida-kun!"

"I know," Orihime thumped herself in the side of the head, a silly, self-deprecating smile stretched across her face. "I guess I should have studied this time."

"Yeah, maybe...," A little slow on the uptake, Michiru's words trailed off in horror. "Wait – you didn't study?"

Some people had it all.


100 Words.

Authors Notes: Okay, there's no proof that Orihime doesn't study much, but the point still stands: the girl is smart.

The entire point of this drabble collection, btw, is to prove that IshiHime is a canon couple. Not that they're meant to be, exactly, but this factor wouldn't hurt my argument one bit. No, what I'm really going for is evidence that Kubo Tite-sensei actually intended for these two to be a couple through concepts like foreshadowing, allusion and adorable circumstances.

If you'd like another perspective on how/why IshiHime is a canon pairing, you should read the ever-so-insightful debbiechan's essay: http // community . livejournal . com / bleachness / 6416 . html # cutid1 (Don't forget to take all the extra spaces out when you copy/paste.) BEWARE: She has included spoilers for the latest manga chapters.

Since debbiechan's essay doesn't cover the early part of the series, here's some more reading material by electratorch to enlighten you (Get it? Torch? Enlighten?): http // community . livejournal . com / ship(insert underscore here)manifesto / 102536 . html (Again, take out all of the unnecessary spaces and -- as directed above -- include an underscore where indicated.)
