I had just walked through the school doorway when I was bomb-barded by hugs.
"Where have you been?!" Everyone chorused. I had quite a large group of friends in school and an even larger group outside school. These guys where like my family. We would go out any day possible and spend every minute with each other possible. I can't imagine my life without them and yet only a year ago I met them. It was weird. I walked up to Anna and Elise. I like to think they are my closest friends even if they aren't that emotionally supportive but for me that's good. When i'm upset I need to be distracted which is what they do best. They always make me smile in any condition i'm in. One thing we have in common is that we three all have the strangest dreams. We spend most of our time analyzing each others dreams. As expected, when I got to them they were talking about a dream which Elise just had.
"...while I was escaping from these black things which like ate you or absorbed, a white haired guy showed up with a black van and saved me. I didn't know who he was and everytime I asked a question he would just say 'I'm taking you home'. The funny thing was, I wasn't scared. Even though I didn't know him, he felt so comfortable to be around. He felt safe."
Neither of them noticed me and I kinda had a habit of trying to scare them, which I always failed at.
"was he hot?" I asked excitedly
"It could be a sign. He could be your future husband, and you said you wouldn't marry!" I teased.
"shut up. Atleast I'm not the one who is obsessed with guys" Elise retorted.
"Are you trying to mess with me?" I challenged. Another thing we all had a habit of was we liked to play fight.
"Oh please, like you could take me on" Elise scoffed.
"like you could do any better." Anna laughed.
"Burn" I laughed with Anna but before Elise could attack me, Molly (another in the group of friends) dragged me to form. I didn't here the bell seen as I was distracted by Anna and Elise. I wasn't in the same form as Anna and Elise but I was in the same form as Molly.
"see in first lesson, Squirrel" Anna called as she wrestled Elise to form. Anna always called me squirrel since I wore a hat on our first meeting. She called it a squirrel not matter how much I insisted it was a bear. In the end I gave up arguing and accepted my new name.
"yeah, see you" I chuckled as Molly led me towards our form room
"I'm just gunna go to the toilet." I stopped in my tracks and turned back towards the toilets.
"alright, don't take to long. Sir won't be happy if your late" Molly stated as she carried on to form.
"got it!" I yelled.

As soon as I left the toilets I bumped into what felt like hard wall. As I looked at what I bumped into it wasn't a wall but a a chest. And what it felt like a muscly one too. I looked up at the face of this chest to find a tall, short haired, ginger guy. He face was significantly handsome but his eyes were cold. He looked young but his eyes showed that he must have been through a lot, his eyes looked weary and tired of life. I had the urge to high five him for being a fellow ginger but something stopped me. It seemed I was fascinated by him. I was curious of his what made his eyes looked as sad as they did.
"Oh, sorry! I always have been clumsy". I apologized, attempting to start a conversation.
"Watch where your going!" He replied bitterly. I would have swooned at his voice if it wasn't laced with so much attitude. Anger washed over me. It's a bit rude to say that at a first meeting and it's as if I didn't apologize. The boy just walked past me as if I didn't exist. I turned and watched him walk away still shocked at his response but not missing the fact that his arse wasn't too bad either. He looked like the perfect guy and he would if he wasn't so rude. As my eyes followed the back of him I forgot about the fact that I was late to form. I t wasn't until he turned a corner so I couldn't see him anymore that I remembered.
"Oh, crap!" I slapped my head in frustration. "I am such an idiot". I ran to form to find it already started so I had to sneak into class. I did it before and it worked the this time I wasn't so fortunate. Mr. Kuchiki noticed.
"Bethany!" He yelled. Just as I was about to sit down.
I sighed and stood up properly. I smiled my most friendliest smile and acted like nothing was wrong."Yes sir?"
"where have you been?" He questioned.
"I've been here the whole time, sir" Still acting like I didn't do anything. The class laughed at my attempt to lie which I must say I never have been good at.
"Don't joke with me, your just asking for a detention" Mr. Kuchiki warned.
"To be perfectly honest, sir. I'm probably going to get one today anyway" I responded as if his warning meant nothing to which the class laughed again. This time even Mr. Kuchiki laughed as well.
"True, but you did just interrupt Toshiro's introduction. So as punishment, you have to show Toshiro around. Plus, you both seem to have similar lessons so get along"
I looked in the direction Sir was referring to and saw a guy roughly my size if not slightly taller, which was smaller than average, with snow white hair which was long and spiky. He was cute but not as handsome as the ginger guy I just bumped into. This guy had a scowl on his face as if he was saying 'how dare you interrupt me!'. It kinda scared me.
"But.." I tried to argue.
"No buts, now sit down"
It seemed that I had no chance in convincing Sir and so I sighed again and agreed reluctantly.
Mr. Kuchiki gave Toshiro the seat next to me seen as it was the only free seat and carried on with the announcements.
"so, where you from?" I asked Toshiro. He grunted in response. What is it about rude people today? I tried to converse again.
"my name is Bethany but everyone calls me Beth. nice to meet you." I offered my hand to shake but he just stared at it disgustingly so instead I turned it into and awkward wave.
"well, follow me and you won't get lost, okaii? The schools not that big anyway so you'll learn quickly."
He grunted again. It seemed he had a habit of grunting.
As form ended I showed Toshiro to our first lesson which was geography. We walked in an awkward silence until we got to the classroom more awkward. We walked into the room and I saw Anna and Elise sitting where we usually sat.
"Hey guys, long time no see!" I joked as we bumped fists.
"Yo"Elise responded, Anna nodded.
"who's this?" Anna questioned inclining her head towards the boy behind me.
"oh, this is Toshiro. Toshiro meet Elise and Anna." As expected, he grunted. Again. It was starting to annoying me.
"Is that all you ever do?" I turned to face him but before he could argue back a familiar voice called out to him.
"Toshiro, over here!" I followed the voice to find the same ginger guy I bumped into earlier that morning. Toshiro smiled and walked over to where he was. They greeted each other by doing this weird handshake thingy. Both laughing and joking.
"Oh, so the ginger guy can laugh, eh? well who knew!" I muttered under my breath bitterly. Elise noticed me staring at him.
"I wouldn't fall for him if I where you!" She stated dryly as she referred to the girls in the corner of the room who where giggling and pointing towards the ginger. Seems like he was already popular.
"Is he new?" I asked questioningly.
"No, he's been here since the beginning of the year" She responded, thick with sarcasm.
"well, I'm surprised she noticed him at all. You and I both know she doesn't really pay attention much in school".Anna added. I would've joked along with them but the more I looked at Ichigo the angrier I got. He really rubbed me the wrong way. He noticed me staring at me and raised his eyebrows as if he was saying 'can I help you?'. I turned and headed for my desk before I walked over there and beat the crap out of him. I haven't felt this angry since I was a child. I slammed my books on my desk and sulked. I heard the ginger guy laugh from behind me. It was just my luck that he sat behind me. I groaned which made him laugh harder. Anna and Elise looked over in curiosity, Anna sat on my right and Elise sat next to her. They walked over to my desk.
"Do you know him? Anna asked.
"I was unfortunate to bump into him on the way to form, and I literally mean bump!" I stated in frustration. "Ever since then his very existence has annoyed me!" I made my last comment loud enough for him to hear and in response he laughed even harder. It was obvious he was doing just to irritate me. I put my head down on my desk to try and drown his voice out, but failed miserably. As our teacher for Geography entered the classroom Anna and Elise headed for their own desks.
The usual names where called out on the register.
"Yuiko?" she called.
"Here" Yuiko answered. This went on a few more names. An unfamiliar name was called out.
"Ichigo?" The teacher called. The voice I was dreading the most at that moment answered.
"Here" The ginger guy responded.
So that was his name.
Ichigo.
