Listen, I've had this sitting in my files for years. I've made a few small edits on the first chapter. Surprisingly, I've decided to continue it, and hopefully it will not turn out like my Homestuck fanfic.

Epilogue
Getting ready for school sucks, it always does. One does not simply wake up and be ready for school. It takes up precious time of ones life. Minutes they will never get back. Ever. Only thing worse than getting ready for school in the morning, is getting ready for a new school. You know that you're not going to know shit about the rules, and you're not even going to know anyone at all. You're going to fucking hate it.
At least, this is what Grimmjow Jeagerjaques, senior student, thinks.
Grimmjow Jeagerjaques is a 17 year old senior student, who in his last year of school had a big change in his life- his family moved across the country and sent him to a whole new school. In a whole new town, full of all these new people.
This is where his story begins.
/
'Stupid fucking school... I was so goddamn close ta' graduating! Stupid parents- you can't just move like that when I only have about 6 months of school left! They've ruined my fucking life.' Grimmjow internally yelled as if people could hear him. Grabbing a wash-cloth from the basin, he turned on the tap and soaked the linen. Deeming the cloth wet enough, he turned the handle of the tap, stopping the continuous flow of water.
Using the wet cloth, he rubbed his face, scrubbing until it was a baby-pink color. Water dripped down from his chin, and onto his chest, sliding down to be caught by the hem of his black boxers, and soaking into the silky fabric. Drying himself off with a hand towel,Grimmjow made his way back to his bedroom to dress himself for school.
Grabbing his bag, and some toast, Grimmjow rushes out the door just in time. Just in time to miss the fucking bus.
Cursing his bad luck Grimmjow ran as fast as he could so as not to be late for his first day of his new school. He remembered the route to the school after having memorised it in-case of situations like this. Running full speed for 5 minutes straight had started taking it's effects on Grimmjow and he slowed to a jogging pace. Another minute went by and the school came into view at the end of the road.
"Thank freaking hell..." He muttered to himself, breathing deeply as he approached the large iron gates of the school. Today was going to be a long day...
Upon hearing the bell ring to signal the start of class, Grimmjow shuffled his way to class. The school office had given him a timetable, and he'd figured it out pretty easily enough, since it was like his old one, just jumbled up with different subjects. He made his way to classroom 11 and waited outside for the teacher to arrive. Other students were staring at him, but he couldn't care less- he was use to the stares of people. After all, he bright blue hair that matched his eyes.
Out of the corner of his eye, Grimmjow studied the class, determining the people there that he could get along with, and the people he couldn't get along with. He decided that class was pretty boring and had all the usual students in it, the girly-girls, the girls who acted like sluts, the rude boys who thought they were cool, the emo, the Otaku and the sporty people. Sighing Grimmjow instead focused on not just giving up and walking home right then.
After a couple minutes of nothing but boredom, the teacher finally arrived and ushered the class inside. Grimmjow was about to go and sit at the back of the class in a random seat, when the teacher grabbed the back of his shirt.
"Hey!-" Grimmjow squeaked- in a manly squeak of course.
"So you're the new student I presume?" The teacher asked. Grimmjow nodded curtly. "Alright, may I get your name please?" He asked.
"Grimmjow Jeagerjaquez." Grimmjow replied, smirking when the teacher raised an eyebrow at his odd a piece of paper off his desk, the teacher pulled a pen out of his pocket and had it ready to write, "And how do you spell that?" He asks, awaiting Grimmjow's answer.
" Z" He replies slowly. The teacher nods and says "Thank you." and shows Grimmjow to his seat.
Once Grimmjow had settled down, and gotten his books and pencil case out, he decided to see who he had been seated next to. Glancing at the desk next to him, he could see pale hands, with long thin fingers, sketching a small drawing on the side of the worksheet. Looking to his other side he notices that no one is sitting there. Grimmjow, not wanting to stare at the other person uses the reflection on his phone screen to look at the person beside him.
Choppy black hair, and blank stare, bright green eyes that seemed to glow in the reflection on the phone screen, mouth seeming to be in a straight line, relaxed and shut. 'So the emo guy is the one I've been seated next to, huh.' Grimmjow thought to himself as he continued to stare at the reflection in phone screen.
Suddenly green eyes turned and looked straight into Grimmjow's own, through the phone screen as if knowing he was being watched the whole time. "May I ask why you were staring at me?" A quiet almost inaudible voice comes from beside Grimmjow making him jump in his seat.
"I uh, wasn't staring at you." Grimmjow replies quickly, embarrassment at being caught quickly making his face heat up.
"You were... but I'm not going to question your antics, you were probably just curious- after all, you are new here, but you were probably too embarrassed to actually look at me to know what I looked like." He said quietly. Grimmjow frowned as he turned to look at boy sitting next to him.
"What the fuck?" Was all Grimmjow could manage to blurt out.
The boy pursed his lips, "I was simply saying my opinion- but if that was wrong then I apologize. That may not have been your reason at all." He replied.
Grimmjow turned back to his school work. "Right..." He said, before completely ignoring the boy next to him for the rest of the lesson. He was certainly a weird one, and he hoped he didn't have to be in any more classes with him, being in Geography with him was enough already. It was hate at first conversation.
The bell went to signal the end of class, and as Grimmjow stood up to get out of the classroom as fast as possible, his bag hit the side of the table and sent it crashing to the ground. Only problem was, was that it was the boy next to Grimmjow's table.
Muttering strings of curses, Grimmjow dumped his bag on the ground and bent to pick the table back up. He noticed that he'd made everything on the fall onto the ground in the process. Sighing, Grimmjow picked up the books and pens that had fallen and went to hand them back to the boy. "Here's your shit- sorry 'bout that." Grimmjow said.
A small, almost invisible smile graced the boys lips. "Thank you..." He said, barely above a whisper. The boy quickly ran from the room, leaving Grimmjow standing there.
"Fuck he's weird." Grimmjow says to himself before picking up his bag and heading to his next class.
His next class turned out to be English, and guess what. Yep, you guessed it, he was in the class again. Of fucking course. At least they were not sitting next to each other again- in-fact, he was across the class room. Thank fucking god. Grimmjow soon learned throughout the lesson, that the boys name was Ulquiorra, and that English was his best subject. He can't complain about Ulquiorra's name, since it is just as far-fetched as his own.
The end of the class soon comes around and then it is break. Grimmjow goes and sits down in one of the corners of the main quad, it's in the shade so it is darker than the rest of the area. He sits behind a pillar, so as not to be seen by people. As he gets out his lunch, a figure comes rushing past him to the very corner of small area. Grimmjow instantly notices that it is Ulquiorra. "What are you doing?" Grimmjow asks, harsher than he meant to.
Ulquiorra jumps and turns around at the speed of light. "Oh! I didn't know you were here... I didn't know anybody would be here, I always come here. I'm sorry I'll go." He says and starts to head away from the spot.
Grimmjow, feeling a rush of guilt at taking the boys eating area, reaches out and grabs the sleeve of the boys uniform. "Wait." He says quickly, "You can stay, if you always come here then I should be the one to leave." He says.
"N-No it's fine..." Ulquiorra replies.
"Stay." Grimmjow growls. He's not sure why he's telling this wretched boy to stay, but he can't stop himself. Hesitating slightly, Ulquiorra sits down in front of Grimmjow and silently gets out his food from the depths of his bag, glancing up every now and again.
Both boys were very quiet, eating silently. It wasn't exactly an awkward silence, but it was just a little uncomfortable. Scrunching up his wrappers, Grimmjow stood up and walked over to the bin to dumo his rubbish in it. He slumped back to get his backpack, opening it in and pulling out his timetable. Two periods left. Not to mention it was a double science. Science is good. Disecting animals and plants always seemed to interest him.
There was still 20 minutes until the end of lunch break, and there was nothing to do of interest to Grimmjow, so he instead chose to sit back down infront of Ulquiorra. Not wanting to sit in silence for 20 minnutes doing nothing, Grimmjow rummages around inside his bag and pulls out a Nintendo 3ds XL, and Pokemon: Ranger. He inserts the game in and turns the gaming device on. He plays for tens minutes, before noticing that Ulquiorra is watching him.
"What?" He blurts out, sounding ruder than he had meant to be.
"Is that Pokemon?" Ulquiorra asks quietly, staring intensley at the device.
"Yeah, what about it? Not gonna annoy me about it are ya? Just 'cos I'm in high school?" Grimmjow says, frowning a little.
"No, it's nothing of that sort. I was simply stating it was Pokemon, yet I was also going to say that I like Pokemon too." Ulquiorra says monotonously.
Grimmjow stared with his mouth agape, shock written all over his face at discovering that the quiet emo-looking kid likes something the same as the blue haired teenager. "You like Pokemon?" Grimmjow replies with disbelief in his voice and on his face.
"I said that didn't I?" Ulquiorra raises an eyebrow slightly. Grimmjow shrugs in response.
"Who's your favorite Pokemon?" Grimmjow asks, hanging his head and moving his character around on the screen.
Ulquiorra thought for a moment before answering, "I suppose that would be Umbreon."
Grimmjow glances up with a smirk on his face, "Hey that's my favorite too." He says, chuckling a little.
The two boys ended up gettting into a conversation about Pokemon, lasting for the rest of lunch. They discussed the favorite Pokemon, their least favorite, which Trainers were their favorites and so much more. Eventually the lunch bell rang they both packed up their belongings. Both in a brighter mood than they have been all day.
Grimmjow stands up and stretches his back while flexing his arms to get the blood pumping again. He offers his hand to Ulquiorra and pulls him up onto his feet. Ulquiorra is about to walk off when Grimmjow asks him, "What do you have now?"
Ulquiorra turns his head to look back at Grimmjow, "Double science." He replies.
Grimmjow grins, "Sweet, I've got that too." They both walk to their next class; Double Science.
/
They both line up outside the classroom as the teacher had not yet arrived. Grimmjow was excited to go to science as it was his favorite subject, but when he looked at the faces of the students his excitement came to a sudden stop. Everyone looked petrified and some even had grimaces on their faces. One or two of the students actually walked right away from the class line and down the hall to the bathrooms, the sound of a lock clicking shut was heard. Suddenly Grimmjow was worried.
Grimmjow felt a tap on his shoulder and a note slide into his; one of the students behind him had done it. Grimmjow glanced over his shoulder to see one of the students from his previous class ('Renji' was it?- He couldn't remember.), a boy with red-as-fire hair tied to the top of his, making him resemble a pineapple. The red head gave him a curt nod and a stern but worried look.
grimmacing, Grimmjow unfolded the note and read the contents.
[Hey new kid- nows ya chance to run- teacher will be here in a few minutes]
Grimmjow stared at the note, a little shocked. 'So it's the teacher...' He thought to himself as he scrunced the note up and put it in his pocket. 'I bet the teacher's just really strict. That's why no one likes them.'
Grimmjow had never been more wrong in his life. The teacher was strict, sure, but damn he was scary. I dont just mean imtimidating-scary, I mean actually full on terrifying. Like he started off as a junior weirdo but graduated to terrifying. He introduced himself to Grimmjow as . The name was no problem, since everyone had odd names here, but why does he wear that weird hat? Why did he paint his face black? Is he wearing contacts? He keeps looking at us like he's going to kill us slowly and horribly.
He quietly ushered everyone into the classroom, eyeing Grimmjow in particular. Everyone shuffled into the classroom and went to different seats. Grimmjow sat down in a seat at the back of the classroom. He took in his surroundings. The classroom looked like a normal science room at first, but looking over it again and taking in the detail proved Grimmjow to be wrong.
Jars of things lined cabnets along the walls and on some spare desks. Grimmjow couldn't make out what shapes were in the jars, nor did he want to know. The classroom had a strange smell to it- kind of like the smell you get when you hunt ants or worms with a magnifying glass on a hot sunny day. He knew the smell, but it was like it was mixed with another smell, an unidentied smell that Grimmjow couldn't quite place. It was a little edgy but he chose to ignore it.
Ulquiorra seated himself beside Grimmjow, pulling out his textbook and a black pen. Grimmjow followed suit, pulling out his own brand new science book and pencil. The classroom was completely silent except for the teacher, Mr Kurotsuchi, tapping his ruler on the desk and staring intensly at Grimmjow, not even blinking once. Grimmjow tried his hardest to not make eye contact with the horrifying teacher.
The teacher stood up and walked to the side of the classroom, where he pulled out a drawer and walked over to the nearest table and placed it on there. He pulled out a big pile of work books and walked around the classroom handing them out to every two students. He placed one on the table that Grimmjow and Ulquiorra shared. Grimmjow was pretending to be focussed on making a title page for his science book so that he didn't have to look at the teacher.
"I know your name so dont bother tellin' me." Mr Kurotsuchi says quitely, ruffling the top of Grimmjow's head, leaving his hand a few seconds longer than nessesary before going back to his spot at the front of the classroom and sitting down in his seat.
Grimmjow shuddered and tried not to look at the teacher through the rest of the lesson. Thankfully they were only doing theory- He couldn't imagine what Prac would be like. Well he could, but it wasn't a very nice mental image, and honestly it scared the fuck out of him. Although he may not look it, he's simply a big geeky high-school kid who has a few months until graduation and doesn't quite feel like dying before that. Especially not in the hands of that creepy maniac of a teacher. Grimmjow vowed to himself to try and make it to the end of this lesson. Double lesson.
The school bell rang to signal the end of class and everyone shot up as fast as the could in order to get out of the classroom as quick as possible. Grimmjow noticed in his rush that even Ulquiorra was packing his things up at the speed of light. The two boys both finished packing their bags at the same time, Grimmjow denying to himself that he slowed down a little just so he could talk to Ulquiorra.
They both shot out the door as fast as they could and walked quickly down the hallway towards the front doors of the school building. As soon as they were out the door they leaned on the wall and breathed heavily. Ulquiorra lightly clutching his side where it was obvious he had a stitch. Grimmjow wiped the sweat off his forehead and let out a laugh.
"I seriously thought I was gonna die in there! That teacher's intense." Grimmjow pants.
Ulquiorra smirks a little, "I admit he is creepy." Ulquiorra says.
"Just creepy? I think you think he's terrifying. I haven't seen you move that fast all day." He jokes, mock pushing Ulquiorra's shoulder.
"I suppose so." Ulquiorra chuckles.
With their breathing rates back to normal, Grimmjow and Ulquiorra walk out the front gates of the school, and head off down to the street together, heading home. talking about Pokemon and joking about the teachers. Grimmjow thought it was rather pleasant to be talking to this boy. His first impression of him was nothing more than an empty emotionless being, but he admits now that this is not the case, and that Ulquiorra is a great person to talk with.
They arrive at the place in the middle of their two homes. It's handy living across the street from each other since it means that they can meet up on weekends or hang out after school. Easier travel too. They turn and look at each other, Grimmjow with a lazy half grin.
"Well see you tomorrow, I guess." He says, not really sure what gesture he should make to say goodbye.
"Goodbye, Grimmjow." Ulquiorra says, giving a little bow before backing up slowly.
Grimmjow just nodded in reply and backed up into his own driveway. Saying goodbye is awkward when you've just met a new friend and you're not close enough too them to just simply say, "See you." Grimmjow slammed the door behind him and threw his bag down on the ground, groaning from how awkward it all was. He decides that a big glass of soda will calm his nerves.
Sighing, Grimmjow walks towards the kitchen and towards the fridge. Opening the fridge door he pulls out a bottle of lemon soda. Popping the lid he takes a long swig from the bottle before leaving the kitchen and going straight to his room. He pushes the door open and lays down on his bed. Tiredness falling over him like a veil and he falls asleep almost instantly, forgetting dinner completely.
This fanfiction will be very long (hopefully), and there will be some spin offs and stuff. Please bear with it :)
