Shh! It's a secret. I like you.
-?
"What is it?" Uryu asked.
"A love note," Ichigo said sounding more like a question than an answer.
"Hmm let me see," Rukia said snatching the note from Ichigo's hand. She read it then said, "Awwe someone likes Ichigo."
"You're not doing a very good job on the secret part," Uryu pointed out.
"Well you guys snatched it from me," he said annoyed. He crumpled the note up and threw it inside his locker.
A part of me died.
"Awe Ichi don't be so harsh on the poor girl. You know she could be watching," I said slyly. He got a scared look and kept looking around.
"That's creepy," he said.
"How is it creepy? Besides she didn't even sign her name. She probably just wanted to get it off her chest," I said nonchalantly.
"Hmm Ishi you seem to know a lot about this," Rukia said putting a flashlight in your face. "Have something you wanna tell us?"
"Uhm no," I said rolling my eyes. Where did that flashlight come from?"
"Uh let's just go to class," Ichigo said. "Alright," I said shrugging my shoulders heading for the classroom.
"Ishi!" Orihime yelled hugging me.
"Hi Orihime. How are you today?" I asked smiling brightly.
"I'm doing really good so far. I'm really happy to see you. It's been too long," she said.
"Orihime she was gone for two days," Ichigo said from his desk.
"Oh yes but two days is a long time away from a very good friend. And by the way how are you Ichigo?" she asked.
"Hmph," he grunted.
"He's not the happiest person at the moment. He got a love note," I said.
Orihime's eyes widened in surprise. "Really?" she asked.
"Orihime you sound surprised that someone would like him," Tatsuki said walking over to us.
Ichigo glared at her and I gave her a head nod.
"Oh no I didn't mean it like that," Orihime said waving her hands in front of her body.
"Orihime I was just kidding. Besides I completely agree with you," she said sticking her tongue out at Ichigo.
It was lunch and I was sitting with Orihime, Tatsuki, and Rukia. I kept sneaking glances at Ichigo. He really didn't look like her was paying attention to what Keigo was saying. He looked like he was in deep thought. Probably over that note. I should've never put that stupid thing in his locker.
"Ishi? Hello?" Tatsuki said waving her hand in my face.
"Huh? Oh sorry guys," I said shaking my head. They all gave me strange looks then returned to eating and talking.
"Hey Ishi wanna walk home together?" Ichigo asked.
"Yeah sure," I said. It wasn't really a big deal. I lived a block away from him. Even though I've always liked Ichigo things have never been awkward between us. But since he read that note. I feel like he knows and now I can't think of anything to say. And this silence is killing me.
"So you seemed kinda out of it today," he said attempting to break the silence.
Well I was busy thinking about you idiot.
"Uh yeah. I guess it was just one of those days. But so were you," I added.
"Well yeah but I was trying to figure out who sent that note thing. I think Tatsuki was trying to play a joke," he said scratching the back of his head.
"Ha," I laughed. He could be so dense. "You really are clueless," I said shaking my head while laughing.
"What? Is it that obvious?" he asked.
I rolled my eyes and looked into his eyes. I slowly moved forward and placed my lips on his. As he finally relaxed into the kiss I wrapped my arms around his neck as he put his around my waist. I pulled back a little and smiled up at him.
"So I'm guessing it was you," he said smirking.
I moved to his ear and whispered, "Shh, it's a secret."
