I just realized that there are a lot of grammatical errors on the 1st, so well, I'm sorry, i tried to proof read but I guess some things really slip, hope you'll like this second. The next one might take longer though

Tatsuki's POV

Yeah, again so I am stuck in this boring class with a boring teacher. History class isn't one of my favorites, not that I have a favorite subject anyway, but then again. So I let my eyes wander around class and without a doubt, they rest into that familiar back. A back that my eyes commonly go to these days every time I let them wander. I try to divert them but they always find their way back to . I really don't understand it. Fine, I admit, he's kind of interesting and mysterious, but I can't let anyone see me look at him, at least not this long. Sigh…. Sometimes being a teenager is quite troublesome, much more maintaining an image while in high school. I wonder if there's an image he is maintaining? I guess, somehow everybody's maintaining an image or something, whatever it is. His however gives you the impression of a stuck up, know it all, I am better that everybody attitude. It really annoys me, and at the same time makes me want to know what he is hiding behind that cold exterior. I wonder if he is capable of tenderness for anyone. I wonder what he talks about privately to his friends, or are they talking to him at that level at all?

Well, back to my previous question, why did he catch my attention this much? I am getting a headache trying to remember things, I'll just go back to reality just a bit, maybe the teacher already noticed my mind wandering. I guess she still hasn't. Back to what I was thinking about. Yes, I guess it all started that sunny day during the girls soccer game two weeks ago….


It was a sunny day, all the girls in our class are playing soccer in one court and the boys were on the other side of the field doing some stretching exercises before they proceed to their own game. Tatsuki, being one of the strongest girls is the captain of their team, was running along her side was Orihime. They were currently in possession of the ball.

"Orihime!" Tatsuki screamed while running towards the goal. She kicked the ball towards Orihime, and she immediately kicked the ball towards the goal. That took the girls from the other team by surprise.

"Goal!!" Orihime shouted running around then toward Tatsuki to give her a massive hug. It was the game point that decided who would win, and with that they won this match. The girls from their team were jumping around and hugging screaming yahoos. Of course the girls from the other team were not so pleased about this and their team captain was actually angry. This was quite an important game and whoever wins this will have a plus 5 points added to their final grade which is quite big. And so their team captain, a sour loser as she is, grabbed one ball, and kicked it with all her strength towards Tatsuki's direction. Let me just tell you that she really has powerful legs, much like that of a soccer pro.


"Tatsuki, dodge" one of her teammates shouted. As she turned her head around to look at what was coming, her eyes widened for she was sure she cannot get out of the way in time and she was sure that this would if she got hit, she will be seeing stars, judging from the speed the ball was coming at her. She closed her eyes waiting for the impact. A second passed, then two, three, four then five, nothing happened. She was sure that whatever is going to hit her must have already hit her but again there was nothing. Confused, she tried to open her eyes to see what happened and what the girls are ogling at right in front of her. From her view, she saw his back, with one hand outstretched to his side, holding the ball. Yes he was holding the ball in one hand, judging from how this looks, he caught this using only this hand. The wind was blowing from the west and his shirt and his raven shiny hair, one of the most beautiful hairs she has seen, perfect for a shampoo commercial, Tatsuki noted, are fluttering with the wind. It was almost cinematic the way the sun was showing his silhouette, Tatsuki thought, the only thing missing was maybe flower petals that are flying in the air and encircling him and maybe a background music to set the mood on track, and it would be a perfect scene for an epic romance. Maybe.

"Wow, amazing" one of the teammates beside her said.

"That was fast" another one commented.

Again, Tatsuki gazed upon this boy in front of him. 'What is he doing here anyway', she thought, 'he wasn't here a moment ago. Is this his way of getting attention from the girls? Whatever it is, he isn't getting mine'. Or so she thought.

Ishida turned his head to the side, partly facing his female classmates. Feeling the need to explain himself, he pushed up his glasses with his other hand, then said "I was just passing thru, going to the court we are assigned in" then he looked to the front and placed the ball to the ground "I guess this ball belongs to you".

Then someone destroyed the mood. "Oi Ishida, move your ass here right now, the game is about to start, if you have time to pose around the girls like that then you better come here right now." Ichigo screamed from the other side of the court.

There was an obvious twitch around Ishida's eyebrows, and without word, he headed back towards their side of the court. He was obviously annoyed with what Ichigo said but said nothing about it, and just glared at Ichigo for his insult. All the while from when her eyes rested on his back, Tatsuki was staring at him, following him from where he caught the ball to his place in the court, eyes wide in interest.


Ah yes, I remember, It probably was the first time I looked at Ishida that long. Though I know that he is fighting off hollows, it would probably explain those reflexes, but I really haven't seen him fight before, I wonder how he fights, what's his style….

"Miss Arisawa!" What? The sound of my name brought me back to reality. But why is everybody looking at me? "For the nth time could you answer question number 3 on page 155 on your book!"Oh, I 

understand now. I look around and I see even him looking, eyes unreadable. "And please, pay attention!" As he turns his head back to the board, he smirks! What the hell does that mean? Oh I guess I was caught in my drifting, better be careful next time. Wait, where was I caught staring? I really hope it's not on his back, oh please no, then I feel my cheeks become warm and I know that right now I'm blushing. I hope they don't interpret it that way.

Xxxxx

So what do you think, I still would like to play with the characters a lot more, it was quite hard to think of a situation where you could get tatsuki's attention, and yeah, maybe Ishida smirking is a bit out of character but we could always give them a little attitude. I'm also still trying to figure out where she was staring and the reason for him smirking….

Anyway, comments, suggestions, criticisms are always welcome. I am sorry about that horizontal line in the flashback scene. I can't remove it...
