She didn't want to admit it, but as she thought more, she discovered that she really, REALLY, hated Mondays. Why, you ask? Well, her orange-headed, stupid, dumb, imbecile, friend always made sure she woke up. How? It's happening right now.

"Ichigo! You dumbass!" Rukia said as she covered her face with a pillow. Ichigo, on the other hand, kept on knocking on her window. He ALWAYS did this, which quite frankly, annoyed the hell out of Rukia.

"Midget! If you don't wake up, you'll be late for school!" He yelled. Rukia mumbled as she got out of bed. She went to her beloved bathroom and later came out all dressed, in her uniform of course. Ichigo smiled, he never failed. He climbed down and waited for Rukia to come out.

Rukia was not amused, and Ichigo could see. And when Rukia was not amused, Rukia would hurt a certain somebody. That certain somebody meaning the dumb carrot-top. The petite girl punched the poor boy in the guts. But no, he did not got hurt. He've known Rukia for a long time. And they were the best of best friends. Except the guy that came second was the stupid pineapple, baboon, Renji. Ichigo scowled. He did not like thinking of him.

"Hello? Earth to idiot." Rukia said waving her hand in front of the carrot.

"Huh? What?" The dumbfounded Ichigo asked. Rukia sighed, "You are such an idiot." Ichigo was scowling and smiling, if that was even possible.

Alas, they made it to school, without anyone (mostly Ichigo) dying. Rukia walked to her friends, Tatsuki, Rangiku, and Orihime. The said girl with the orange hair, just like Ichigo's, waved at the carrot. Ichigo with his famous scowl waved back, ignoring the girl. Orihime started to feel sad, but she ran back to her friends and hid her feelings.

Rukia said farewell to her friends as she went to homeroom, which nonetheless, Ichigo was in. "Yo Rukia!" Ichigo yelled as he ran up to the small girl.

"Ehh." Rukia said. Her eyes totally fixed on one guy. That one guy added to the list Ichigo was, well, jelous of. But he didn't really notice that, though. Not yet.

"Kaien!" Rukia said gleefully as she waved to the said boy. The guy waved back giving a smile. Ichigo scowled, even more. He sighed and sat down, which by

his bad luck, next to Kaien. Rukia sat behind them, next to the pineapple. Rukia laughed as Renji whispered something to her ear. Ichigo turned back. He glared at Rukia, and she proudly glared back.

"Okay class! Hush!" Their teacher, Ochi-sensei, yelled. The class became quiet.

Class passed by and soon it was time for lunch. Rukia slowly walked to the roof, next to Ichigo.

"You know, stawberry." She said looking down.

"Hmm?" He said looking at her.

"You've been acting so damn weird..." She said trailing off.

Ichigo slightly blushed, "What do you mean?"

"I mean the you've been constantly glaring at me, Renji, Kaien, and every damn person, or boy, that I talk to! You even glared at Ukitake-sensei! What's wrong?"

"Nothing..."

"Baka! Tell me now or you die!" She said grabbing Ichigo's arm and tugging it, " We've know eachother for a LOOOONNNGG time."

"Agh." Ichigo said pulling his hand away, " I said it's nothing. N-O-T-H-I-N-G. Geez, midget."

"Fine." Rukia said opening the door to the roof. Chad, Uryuu, Orihime, Renji,Tatsuki, Hitsugaya, and Rangiku were already there chatting.

"Hi Kurosaki~kun! Kuchiki-san!" Orihime greeted. Ichigo grunted and nodded. Rukia smiled and waved.

'They're acting weird again.' Tatsuki thought, and she knew everyone was thinking this too, 'Why won't one of them admit there freakin' feelings?' She sighed, looking at the pair arguing again.

"They look awfully happy together." Orihime whispered with a sad smile. Tatsuki felt pity for the girl. Uryuu, on the other hand, pushed up his glasses and coughed.

The two finally stopped arguing and sat next to each other. She took a juice box, and even though she was 15, she had a hard time opening the box. Ichigo snickered as he took the juice box and poked the straw into the juice box. Rukia gleamed with happiness as she snatched it and drank.

Lunch ended and soon, everyone was going to their next class. "Rukia!" A red-headed man yelled from behind.

"Hello Renji." She said smiling, failing to notice a carrot watching them.

'Why do I feel like this?' Ichigo thought, 'What is this feeling in my chest? It burns...Agh...Nevermind.' He slowly walked to class, still thinking.

Why do we think negative? Why can't we just accept our feelings? Why are we so oblivous?

"Ahh...I'm tired." Rukia said as she walked side-by-side with Ichigo.

"Aren't we all." He scoffed, which earned him a direct hit on the head. Rukia sighed. After all these years, her friend, BEST friend, still kept secrets from her.

"Ichigo...I know you're not telling me something." Rukia said looking up at the dullard.

"I'm not." He replied.

THWAK

The sound of a small hand hitting a firm arm could be heard all the way to Pluto. Rukia was so mad that you could almost, just almost, see steam coming from her ears.

"Fine! Ichigo, if you can't trust me, then whatever! I can't believe you and...and...AHH!" Rukia yelled running away. She was hurt, but not as much as Ichigo was.

He really didn't know what was wrong with him.

'Why am I like this? Ever since 3 months ago, when stupid Grimmjow asked Rukia out, I felt this weird feeling. And I was actually glad she rejected him...But why?' Ichigo sighed. He took out the phone and texted Rukia.

"Hey, Are you still mad at me?" Ichigo typed into his phone.

Rukia was very mad at the strawberry. She just couldn't believe him. She threw a pillow at the wall.

'You shouldn't care Rukia. Ichigo is just being Ichigo. Why the hell do you have to care!' She thought. Her phone vibrated. Rukia frowned.

New Message from Carrot-top:

"Hey, Are you still mad at me?"

Rukia clicked the reply button.

"Yes."

The phone vibrated again.

"I'm sorry."

Rukia smirked, this guy was just so...so...

"I know you are, but why won't you tell me what's wrong? I'm your best friend. Can't you trust me?"

Ichigo looked at the phone. He finally figured it out. He now knows why he felt that burn in his heart. He knew why he felt 'jelous' when Rukia was having fun with other guys. He figured it out. He...out of all the guys...fell in love with the midget. He smiled.

New Message from The Midget:

"I know you are, but why won't you tell me what's wrong? I'm your best friend. Can't you trust me?"

Ichigo's smiled grew wider. (Whoa, how unusual.) He had a plan.

"I trust you. I got to go. See you at school."

He closed his phone and took out his notebook.

'Let's start slow. I'm going to...yes...write.' He said as he started to write on the notebook. He tore the paper from the book and smirked, Rukia's in for a surprise.

Ichigo woke up the next morning didn't go to Rukia, but instead to the school. He walked and ignored the stares he received, but they ignored him afterwards.

'143, 144, 145...146!' He said as he slipped a piece of paper into the said locker.

Rukia walked to school and was relieved, but slightly disappointed that Ichigo wasn't walking with her. She sighed and went straight to her locker, entering her combination.

'10,28,0.' She thought as she entered it. But her eyes widened as a piece of paper slowly dropped to he feet.

The petite girl picked the paper up and unfolded it. She blushed, her face almost the color of Renji's hair.

The paper read:

'I wish...that I could look into your eyes more often.

I wish...that I could see that shade of purple more.

I wish...that I could feel your head upon my chest.

I wish...that you would be mine.

-Your admirer.

P.S.

Don't know who I am? Then meet me by the cherry-blossom tree at the back of the school after class ends. '

She was really oblivous to who it was..

"Hey." Rukia jumped and turned around. It was just Ichigo. He smirked as his eyes landed on the piece of paper.

She flushed, "W-W-What! I-It's n-nothing!"

"Right, I bet it's anothe love letter from a stupid person that 'admires' you." He laughed. She just walked away, not caring.

She was fidgeting. It would be 2 more minutes until class ends, and she was going to meet her secret admirer.

'What color is his hair? His eyes?' Rukia sighed, why did she even care? Maybe it was Keigo and his tricks.

The bell rang and everyone ran outside. Ichigo was nowhere to be seen.

"Great...now I have to deal with this by myself.'' She mumbled.

She walked to the back of the school and found the tree.

Her eyes widened. "Hey."

"...Ichigo?"
