Author's note: This is my first fanfiction. I hope you like it. This chapter moves slowly, because I tried to get everything explained. I just have to get over this chapter and all the drama will start. Don't give up on this story because of this chapter. I hope you will read on afterwards!

(But so does Bleach!)
Sigh. Starting a new life is so hard. I mean seriously, is the most prestigious school in the human world worth it when you need to move between worlds to go? Okay, maybe it is. But still, starting a new life is nearly impossible when you're the heir and daughter of the Soul King. The Royal Guards are with you all the time and it's so aggravating and annoying.
I finally managed to convince father to let me go on my own. I am extremely powerful yet I'm not allowed to fight hollows or enemies.
So here I am, a sixteen year-old girl going to school. I am a prodigy at learning. I mastered math at the age of five, learned Bankai at the age of 10, and mastered most of the world's scientific knowledge at the age of 12.
I reach for the golden handle of the private school and a whoosh of cold air conditioning blasts into my face. There is a large room with many sofas and plants. The lights are bright and I'm inside my new school's welcome center. I walk through the hallway and find a door to an office.
"Hello!" he greets me. "You must be Skyler Lu, the new student. Here, let me get your welcome kit!"
He shoves an aqua blue box at me, with an "A" carved in gold. Wonder what that means. How much money does this school have? I mean having a huge lobby for a single office with its own building is a little bit overdone.
"Your dorm number is 3A. Your roommate is Hitsugaya Toshiro."
I head out of the office and out of the cold room. The sun shines brightly on my black hair and blue eyes. I have a bang from the right side of my head to my left ear. I look around at the massive soccer fields and tennis courts, the bright red brick walls of he buildings in this enormous campus. Too bad I can't teleport; I would be frightening humans out of their minds! I invented a new form of shunpo to allow me to teleport places. It's pretty cool.
I slowly walk to my dorm building, which has a large "A" engraved into the brick beside the door. This must be it.
I open the welcome package and on the top is an envelope. I open it and inside holds my pass card. I insert the pass card into the black scanning slot and the door opens. A huge lobby with vending machines lined up against the wall awaits me. The cool whoosh of air gives me relief from the hot summer air. I see a small library in the corner and a few sofas. Whoa. This is AWESOME! I lift the aqua welcome package and run to the elevator. I scan the card. This is so cool! I can't wait to see my room and roommate. But why would they make me share rooms with a guy. At least I think he's a guy. Aren't rooms supposed to be the same genders? I mean they could have… I blush at the thought.
I go up to the third floor, the highest floor, and I don't see a hallway of doors. All I see is a gigantic living room with a 70-inch TV.
Okay. Backtrack. Schools shouldn't look like this. In the brochure, there were pretty nice rooms with clean beds and a desk with a bathroom. Not floors of space like an apartment. I drop my box and jump up and down. Okay, officially awesome first day.
"Why are you jumping up and down like a maniac?"
I stop and see a boy, about the same height as me, glare. He has teal eyes and spiky white hair, with a few strands over his forehead. I glare back. He raises a quizzical eyebrow and I start to approach him. I put a hand forward.
"Hi. I'm Skyler Lu. I'm guessing you're my roommate, Hitsugaya Toshiro."
He shakes my hand.
"Nice to meet you."
"So, would you mind explaining the whole thing?"
"Sure. You must be a genius and/or prodigy to be placed in the 'A' class. We are the top of our grade. By the way," he points to the left, "That is our bedroom. Two beds of course. There," he points to the right, "Is the study. And this room is the living room."
"Thanks…"
"You may call me Toshiro, but that is a privilege and an honor. I am only allowing this, because we are roommates," he snaps. If only he knew.
He walks away to the study and I follow. I look at the bookshelves that surround the room. Okay, I love reading. This place is perfect. I drop the blue box on to an oak desk and I unload. Toshiro helps me unload. There is my uniform, two letters, an envelope containing my schedule, and a fancy new iPad.
"This is all self-explanatory," he states and grabs the envelope containing my schedule. "Well… you have all your classes with me."
I gape. What! With this arrogant guy! Why is he so serious all the time?
"Our classes start in ten minutes. For the first day, we have a late opening," he says. "Please get dressed. We must not be late. The bathroom is there."
He points to a room. I grab the uniform and go. Yeesh. He's so serious. I need to become friends with him somehow. Is he this cold and stiff to everyone?
I enter the bathroom. It's a really nice bathroom. Warm, with heated floors. A rain showerhead and two sinks. The uniform is a white kimono with red lining. I change and exit the bathroom. I grab the new iPad and move toward the door, Toshiro joining me.
"Hey, Toshiro."
"Yes?"
"Are all the students' rooms like ours?"
"No. They are similar to the ones in the brochure. We are honored as high- class people. The lower classes have black robes with white lining. They refer to us with honorifics."
I keep walking with Toshiro out of the dorm. The blinding sunlight reach my eyes. I notice students coming out of the other dorms.
"So why does my schedule have 'A' behind them? Like 'Math A.'"
"We are in the 'A' class, because we have all 'A' classes. For 'B' classes and 'C' classes, they are already considered smart for having even one 'A' class."
"Who are the other 'A' class people?"
"Ishida Uryu and Ulquiorra Cifer."
Well… we are some spoiled students. Four people living in a ginormous three floor building. We continue to walk. Toshiro is wearing a similar robe to mine, except it has blue. This guy is starting to get on my nerves. I mean he thinks he's so great and all and maybe he is, but doesn't mean he can be all arrogant.
As we approach the building where our science class is, other girls start to glare at me. I look at Toshiro at the corner of my eye and he looks unfazed.
"Why is she with Hitsugaya-san?" I hear a girl whisper.
"Yeah, I know right? He's too good for her."
"What?! She's in the 'A' class?!" another girl whispers, "No fair!"
Wow. This Toshiro guy must be popular. All the other people are wearing black robes. No wonder why they know I'm in the "A" class.
"There has never been a girl in the 'A' class," Toshiro says.
"You seem pretty well known," I reply.
"Yeah. A lot of like me. There's even a fan club."
I roll my eyes. We enter the science classroom and all the students bow with their head down. Toshiro takes his seat in the "A" class labeled lab table and I turn to talk with the teacher. He is a man with blond, shaggy hair and black eyes. He has large glasses.
"Hello. You must by Skyler-san," he says.
"Yup."
"It's an honor to be your teacher,"
"Um…Thanks?"
"You're lab partners with Hitsugaya-san."
I start to head over to Toshiro. The room is a bland white and the "A" class table is black. All the other tables are white.
"Hey, Toshiro," I say casually.
The girls around me gasp. What did I do? Toshiro looks unaware. Oh, I used his first name. Haha, I don't care. He said it himself. I can use his first name. Jealous much?
The whole day goes by exactly like this. The students stare at me, I get the same response from every teacher. Because today was the first day, nothing much happened.
We get back to the "dorm" or whatever you call it, after school.
"Would you like to visit the campus' library? I'm going," Toshiro inquires.
"Sure."
Why so casual all the sudden? He's is such a calm person all the time, why ask me something like this now?
"Okay. Let's go."
We leave the building and there is awkward silence. Really awkward silence. Suddenly, I feel a strong spiritual pressure coming from the left. Toshiro seems to notice too. I start to head that way when Toshiro pulls me back.
"Don't go that way," he firmly states, earnest look in his eyes.
He takes out a pack of soul candy and pops one in his mouth. I bet he thinks I can't see him as he gives orders to the soul in his gigai. I laugh. The gigai turns to look at me although Toshiro continues to give orders. I don't even bother listening. As he turns to leave, I grab his soul's arm.
He stares at me, wide-eyed.
"You can see me?" he gasps.
I roll my eyes as I flash step ahead of him. Being able to perform soul reaper movements in a body is a gift from father. Although I'm technically alive, I am a soul reaper.
"So, considering that you're a soul reaper in the Gotei 13, what's your position?" I ask.
"I'm Hitsugaya Toshiro, Captain of the Tenth Squad."
"Cool."
"What?! 'Cool' and that's it?" he yells, "Who are you then?"
"Later. Let's go kill some hollows."
Author's note: I hope I get some reviews, but I will still update even if there are none. I am so excited to write the next chapter. Stay tuned!
