Ichigo opened his locker and took out his books he needed and headed for class. He walked into his class and took his usual seat next to Rukia. He had been having a crappy day so far, first his dad had came in and attacked him in his sleep earlier than usual and gave him a kick to the stomach, and then a bunch of guys came out and jumped him, and finally he had missed three periods because of the guys who jumped him. He dropped his head on his desk with a thud three times before Rukia stopped him. "What are you doing?" asked Rukia in a confused voice. "Obviuosly I'm hitting my head on my desk." he answered sarcastically. "Okay, here's a better question;why are you doing that?" "Because today sucks." "How so?" she asked as the teacher walked in with a strange girl.
"Class, I would like to introduce you to our new student Nanao Ise." said the teacher "Hello everyone, its great to be able to meet you all." said Nanao kindly. Ichigo could hear a slight hint of nervousness in her voice, and for the oddest reason ever he didn't feel lousy despite his bad day. "Nanao, you may take any seat you want." said the teacher politely. Nanao took the seat to Ichigo's left. He looked over to her and saw that she had glasses on with blue rims, and had on a yellow tube top (which he was pretty sure wasn't even legal to wear in school) and a blue skirt that went down to her knees. He realized that he was staring and looked away blushing.
"Ooooh, Ichigo has a crush on the new girl." mocked Rukia. "Shut up!" Ichigo said in a hushed yell. "Admit it, you like her. I can see you blushing and you were staring at her for 5 minutes." she continued mocking. "Whatever." he responded looking down at the assignment that he forgot about and continued working on it. He thought about it, but he wasn't sure if he actually did like or not. Was Rukia right? Did he like her? "This is going to bother be all day." he thought to himself. "Um...excuse me." he heard a nervous voice say, he looked to see it was Nanao "Do you happen to have a spare pencil that I can borrow?" she asked. "Sure," he said reaching into his bag and pulled out a pencil "my name is Ichigo Kurosaki by the way." he said handing her the pencil. "Pleasure to meet you Ichigo Kurosaki." she said kindly putting her hand out and shook his hand. She had a surprisingly strong grip.
After class everbody went to lunch. Ichigo went where he usually went for lunch and found that no one else was there. Rukia must have decided to sit with the other girls. He was stuck there alone, with nobody to talk to. He looked around and saw Nanao walking around, she almost looked lost. "Hey, Nanao." he called to her. She looked over at him and walked up to him and sat down. "Hi Ichigo. You don't mind if I sit here do you?" she asked. "Of course not." he said generously. "If you don't mind my asking, what were you doing wondering around?" "Oh...I'm just having a hard time making friends." she answered. "Well, do you want to be friends with me?" he asked. She looked slightly surprised. "Sure, its better than just sitting alone." she accepted. They sat and ate, making small talk. When lunch was over they got up and left. "See you tommorrow Ichigo." she said, Ichigo saw a slight blush that she hid after he saw it.
On his way to school Ichigo saw Rukia and Nanao walking down the sidewalk. He walked over to them "Hey Rukia, I see you've met Nanao." he said "Yeah, I saw you two flirting during lunch, and since she's your girl freind I just had to meet her." said Rukia. "What!?" Ichigo and Nanao "We're not together!" yelled Ichigo "We're just freinds!" agreed Nanao. "Whatever you say." mocked Rukia. Ichigo walked with them and found out that Nanao only lived a few blocks away, which made him surprisingly glad.
Tell me if Nanao is out of her usual personality. Please review. THAT'S IT!
