I dedicate this fan-fiction to my best friends and classmates.

An orange-haired teenager made his way around school, traveling down hallways and jogging to the ground floor. It was time for physical education (PE) and he was on the way to the field when he felt his phone vibrate in his pocket.

Glancing around to make sure none of the sharper teachers were around he pulled it out.

'Ms. Foo is killing me with boredom. Up for Mac later,' he read and felt a look of annoyance yet slight amusement pass over his face before swiftly replying, 'I hate her too but life sucks. I got CCA later so forget Mac.'

'I know life sucks. I also know that we both have CCA today. I meant afterwards, what time does your end?'

Spotting the disciplinary master round a corner behind him, he texted a quick, 'Ends at 5.30. TTYL' and hurried off.

Somewhere on the third story of the school building, a black-haired girl smiled to herself.

TWO HOURS LATER

'Hey I'm at the café, you want anything,' he read silently before replying to her, 'Usual.'

And with that, he tucked his phone into his bag and went off to join his friends in a game of basketball until his best friend would arrive with her own drink and a hotdog for him.

It didn't take long, 10 to 15 minutes later he spotted her from the corner of his eye through the school gates. He knew that she'd seen him so didn't call out. With a thankful grin he took his food from her, said thanks and went off with the other boys he'd been playing with to the exact same café she'd just been to.

It was their normal routine on Thursdays, somewhere in the middle of school she would text him complaining about one thing or another. Then, she would go ahead and buy his food and her drinks before coming back. She would listen to music while waiting for him to come back with his friends and when they did she'd join them at a small group of sheltered wooden tables to listen to whatever they were talking about and put in the occasional word or two.

Then, she would go off for Debate Club and he would have Basketball with the school's coach and team. She finished nearly one and a half hours before him but waited nonetheless. She killed the time by listening to music, reading or getting a start on her homework.

Then they would walk together to the next bus-stop and stop by the convenience store on the way for him to grab some snack before she took the same bus but alighted at a different stop than him.

It had been the same routine for the violet-eyed midget and orange-headed male for a month now and though some people made jokes of them as couple, these implications were laughed off.

But now as Rukia sat at the back of the bus she looked up to see Ichigo plug in his ear-phones a few rows ahead of her (they RARELY sat together) she wondered if maybe one day, she would figure out why her chest ached whenever she'd have to get off and wave good-bye to him.

I haven't a clue of what I was thinking of while I wrote this: just decided to do some random school setting for this couple. Please review!
