The not Dance
Written by Typewriterman

It was lunchtime already, where predictably, the main talk on everyone's minds was-
"Oh….that's a house party?" The small girl carefully aimed her straw over the juice box, and stabbed the perforation with a practiced hand. Rukia squealed softly before sipping up liquid sweetness.
"That's basically it…" Tatsuki added. "But to think that Ichigo of all people…I can't believe it…" A grumble from her stomach caused her to blush slightly, reminding her to take another bite of her egg roll. "There's something fishy about all this."
"I don't know…" a third voice added, "just thinking of Orihime and me dancing and all swea-" before she could finish, the bespectacled girl was hit with a bento box…in the face.
"Keep it to yourself, Chizuru…" Tatuski growled angrily. With sheer obliviousness, Orihime chuckled with amusement; probably from some astoundingly complex chain of events somehow linked to Tatsuki being angry. "All that you really need to know is that those things are usually a waste of time…especially if it's some bogus attempt to become suddenly popular.

Sitting amongst the boys, a slight sneeze broke their unmitigated lunchtime silence.
"Geez, Keigo! Not on my shirt…"

The bell had finally rung, meaning class would begin shortly. Although complaining at first—mainly about how they still weren't allowed to change into summer uniforms—they gave in, relinquishing the shade and outdoor beauty of the school yard. Still chatting amongst themselves, the girls began packing up their food, making sure not to leave anything around their favorite tree.
A soft wind brushed against the nape of Rukia's neck, tickling the small hairs enough to make her flinch. She turned into the wind, relishing the feel of her ruffling uniform against the breeze. She opened her violet eyes to watch the leaves flutter about in the air, when by chance something caught her eye from up on the roof.
"Rukia, c'mon! You don't want to be late for class, right?"
"Um, yeah!" she responded in surprise. Rukia quickly glanced towards the roof a second time, but saw nothing. "Must have been my imagination…"
"What was that, Rukia!?"
"Coming!"

His heart palpitated and his eyes were strangely dilated from anxiety. I don't think she saw me… Ichigo thought, placing two fingers on his wrist to measure his throbbing pulse. Calmer now, he inched toward the edge of the roof top, trying not to have his bright orange hair stick out into view—if that was even physically possible at all.
"C'mon Ichigo-" a soft hand sent a chill up the teenagers spine, forcing him to uncharacteristically flinch outwards with his fist.
"Oh, Keigo…" He would've hit him anyways, so it was not too big of a deal. "What do you want?"
"Class…is going to start, remember?" Keigo responded slowly. He dutifully rubbed his sore head, checking for any bumps. "What were you looking at, anyways?"
"…let's get going, then…" he tried to change the subject, and consciously rushed to the roof access door. They descended down the stairs with relative quiet, until finally reaching the main hallways. Ichigo ignored the group of girls as he continued on toward the classroom, but not Keigo.
"So, uh, Ichigo!" He said in an obnoxiously loud tone, "I was thinking that we should make your party an invite-only, you know…?" Keigo smiled toward the group of school girls, even going so far as to wink at one in particular.
Ichigo would've continued to keep ignoring Keigo's sudden re-interest in his own stupid plan, if it weren't for the fact that one of the girls suddenly rushed to intercept him. "Excuse me, are you Ichigo Kurosaki?"
"Uh…yeah…" he tried to seem uninterested, although his 'friend's' excited stare… Is he drooling? Ichigo sighed to himself even more.
"We've heard a lot about your party…" the curly haired school girl continued, and soon joined by the three others. "I'm Suzume…"
