Tittle: Freaking Americans

Author: Anira

Summary:
Being an exhange student is hard, especially when you don't even know the local language. An American is tresspassing on Karakura territory, and more than one of the students is feeling abit defensive of thier turf. Not to mention how... just ODD she is.

Inspiration:
Agh, a lot of things; the Chinese exchange student at my school, sudden pariahety from my friends, ect...

Rated T for Teen (watch out for foul language... sorry, I do love my profanity :3)

"What are you doing here…?" Ichigo's voice faded away as the sound of labored breathing reached the ears of the Shinigami and the students.

In the back of the room, the American exchange student, Deidra, was struggling to control herself.

'Hyperventilation,' she struggled to think as she pressed the tips of her fingers into her temple and spread her legs out to get a good stance on the floor, even though she was seated. 'I don't have asthma… It must be a panic attack. But why…?'

Her reasoning was not working on her body's unjustifiable reaction to... whatever in was reacting to. It felt like a particularly large person was standing on her lungs, cutting off her air.

"I can't breath," she struggled to say in breathless English as she clutched at her throat with the hand that was not pressed to her forehead. Her vision was beginning to blur as she slipped out of her seat and onto all fours on the floor.

"I… can't… BREATH!"

Description

I hate doing these little profile things. They seem so impersonal, but just so you know;

Name: Deidra

Hair Color: Brown

Eyes: Hazel (she's vehement about them being called HAZEL not BROWN since its her only good trait)

Occupation: Sophomore student at Karakura high school, newly transferred from Montana, USA

Special Skill: Er.. she's just a normal person. She doesn't have one -__-

Everything else about her will be explained… later?

TWO QUICK THINGS

1. Her name is pronounced DIA-DRAH. And I SWEAR TO GOD that I didn't mean to name her after Deidara from Naruto. See, it was time that I used a name that starts with D, since I hadn't yet, and I was thinking "Diane, no. Dean, no that's a boys name. Daffy, nu-uh. Uh… DEIDRA!" I thought a was a genius until I googled it half way through this and saw that it was the name of a Naruto character. XP "Oh…" I thought. "Well at least their names are spelled and pronounced differently!" because I already had it in my head that her name would sound like it does. Promise I'm not that unoriginal. ;)

2. I REFUSE to put "soandso's POV" above everything because to me that looks incredibly unprofessional (I'm writing fanfics and I want to look professional -_-) , so just PAY ATTENTION and odds are you'll get it. If you don't get it, then maybe you aren't supposed to. It's confusing…

I talk too much, I know. I'll keep it to a minimunm from now on. If anyone even got through all that.... HERE WE GO, CHAPTER ONE!!! (click the arrow... do it.... click... *point point*)
