A/N: My first hitsukarin fanfic

AU

Disclaimer: I do not own Bleach


She was 16 years old, a high school student with so much potential. Though she wasn't as great with grades like Yuzu or Ichigo, she gets decent marks; enough for her to pass. She was the only female on the soccer team, and she is the second best. This..made her bitter.

Hitsugaya Toshirou was their team's ace, and he beat Karin in every category.

*His grades (straight A+'s, she had glanced at his report card while she assisted for the secretary at school)

*His stature (what if he was only 2 inches taller? Karin was very sensitive about her height.)

*His perfect girlfriend (Hinamori Momo was known for being very popular with both girls and boys because of her kindness, something Karin lacked)

*His skills in soccer (did she mention he was the ace?)

*His looks (Karin didn't like mentioning this out loud, but he was gorgeous. His eyes are a bonus. She felt strangely attracted to his white bleached hair. Looks natural on him)

Anger filled her body as she counted all the positive things about Hitsugaya while also listing her negative parts. Whenever she thought about him, she felt so depressed knowing she'll always be number 2.


The bell had rung which snapped Karin out of her thoughts. Quickly, she ran from the soccer field to the team showers. There was a special shower just for her and a separate area to change. She liked being alone, one of the perks of being the only girl. After she had finished washing up, she dressed quickly in her school uniform and sped out of the locker rooms. She had barely made it into her classroom and sit when the bell rang again, signaling the start of 2nd period.

A flash of white caught her peripheral vision. No, no, no. This cannot be happening.

"Hitsugaya," she whispered as her teacher started talking about Japanese literature and the importance of knowing the background of the authors.

"Hn?" Came Hitsugaya's response, as his eyes were glued to the front of the class.

"Why are you in my class. Sitting next to me?"

"Well if you weren't almost late to class, then you would know, wouldn't you?" He replied with sarcasm. He was never the type to smile or smirk, only a small grin now and then.

"I'm waiting for the answer, Hitsugaya."

"Quiet back there!"

Karin immediately spun into the proper position at her desk. Hitsugaya grinned.


Class ended uneventfully, and Karin found herself standing in front of the classroom, waiting for Hitsugaya to come out.

"Will you tell me now?"

"Why do you want to know so bad?"

"Cause I can barely stand seeing you the first thing in the morning, spend 56 minutes with you doing something I love, and have to find myself spending more time with you!"

A vein popped in both of their heads, and Karin knows she had pissed him off.

"This is EXACTLY why I have class with you, Karin!"

"Huh?"

"The principal and the soccer coach feel as if we fight too much; therefore, I have all my classes with you except for math honors and science honors!"

"Wait. That means..."

"Yes, we're going to history class together. Right now."


Things weren't always like this. Karin would always think about how things had been. Back in middle school, they used to hang out at each other's houses everyday. Then he did something that ruined everything.


"Why are you still here.."

Hitsugaya was busy exchanging his textbooks for his history one, and Karin was leaning against the lockers next to him.

"I think we need to make a plan about all this."

Puzzled, Hitsugaya glanced at her as he closed his locker with a small slam. They then both started walking towards their 3rd period.

"What do you mean?"

"Can't we both go up Mr. Hisamoto and the principal together and plead with them to change your schedule back to the way it was?"

Shaking his head, Hitsugaya said, "Tried that. Didn't work."

"Of course it didn't work, baka. You sound so insincere in everything you do. Like a freaking robot."

Hitsugaya was getting a little bit irritated.

"And how do you propose we do this?"

They were nearing their class, and Karin stopped in front of Hitsugaya. She looked into his eyes and said something very shocking.

"Let's get along."

He laughed. He truly laughed. Karin stood there shocked.

"Yeah right. We're like oil and water, no matter what we do, we can't get along. Is your head that thick?"

Scowling, Karin put her hands on her hips.

"What do you think we should do then?! Pretend?"

He nodded.

"Do you think we can actually pull that off?" Skepticism could be clearly heard from her voice.

"We can pretend, if we try."

"Lying to Mr. Hisamoto and the principal? I think I respect you a little bit! Didn't know a goody-two-shoes like you has the heart to do that."

"Oh shu-"

The door suddenly slid open and a very calm voice spoke to them.

"I hope you are both enjoying your chat, because if you don't get into your seat in the next 10 seconds, you are both late."

Urahara sensei smiled at them, and Karin sped towards her seat. Hitsugaya explained that he didn't know where to sit since he was new, so he was told to sit next to Karin because 'they sounded like old chums'.

Groaning inwardly, Karin looked out of the window.

Great. I still sit next to him!

Whatever, as soon as we get his old schedule back, the sooner things will be back to the way they were.
