"Alright brats, pull out your textbooks, you have two minutes to study fer this test I'm handing out." Grimmjow instructed before stalking towards the orangette. Leaning down he flicked a lock of hair from the carrot-tops head. "This natural kid?" he asked Ichigo.

"Ah-. . .O-of course it is. Why, is yours?" Ichigo questioned, trying not to sound insulted or embarressed.

Grimmjow glanced down with a face-splitting smirk, "Wanna check," he leaned down to Ichigos ear and whispered heatedly, "Strawberry." With that he stood back up and watched the heat heading towards Ichigos face, chuckling softly he added, "just kiddin' squirt. Not inta lil' high schoolers."

Ichigo stuttered for a few moments until Grimmjow went on to check on other students to see if they actually understood a single concept of what they're supposed to know. Even going as far as testing them verbally without the use of their notes. Ichigo quickly tried to forget the that the new teacher just 'technically' flirted with him and pulled his notebook out.

After a few seconds of rereading the notes four times he put it away and looked out the window next to him. He quickly spotted a snowy-white figure aproaching and squinted his eyes to get a better view, upon inspection he saw that it was a student, but he never saw this one before. He was wearing a white and gold plaid button up with the buttons left undone and a black fitted shirt underneath, a pair of grey faded out skinny jeans hanging dangerously low -with a few colorful keychains-, showing a patch of his black and red trimmed boxers, he could see something dangling from his wrist, but couldn't identify it. His hair was pure white and spikey, in a similar style as his own hair, his skin was a sickly pale color -which seemed a bit paler than an average albino. His eyes weren't seen, but he could see a smirk on his face.

"Alright magots! Time ta put yer notes and textbooks away, I expect most of ya to know a majority of this test, so don't screw this chance up. Got it? Good. The reason fer this unexpected test is to tell which students need ta sit next ta each other." the teacher bellowed which caused Ichigo to look away from the window and concentrate on the upcoming test. Grimmjow walked by the rows and handed each student a packet which stated at the top, 'Think you know French? Good luck.' With a sigh, Ichigo skimmed through the packet and scowled harder than he already was, 'Damn. . .this guy is going to kill us with this crap.'

Three minutes later and Ichigo was stuck on number eighteen that read, 'What is the correct term for 'confidentialité'? A) the state of being secret B) well known C) private D) Both A and C'. He quickly pondered the root in the word and quietly bounced in joy in his head. 'I know it now!' He wrote down his answer and went to the next one happily, oblivious to the teachers staring.

After scoring the highest score in his French class, he went to his second period which was coincedently Home Ec 101. When everyone arrived and was finally seated, they were all instructed to try and bake different versions of thin, chewy chocolate chip cookies using different ingrediants. Luckily he got the easiest and read it softly to himself so other students won't copy. "2 1/4 cups all purpose flour, 1 tsp baking soda, 1 tsp salt, 1 cup (2 sticks butter) softened – allow them to sit at room temperature for 30 minutes or cheat & grate it, 3/4 cup granulated sugar, 3/4 cup brown sugar (packed), 1 TBSP vanilla, 2 large eggs, 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips. Preheat the oven to 375°F. When making cookies, give the oven a few extra minutes preheating. This lets the sides and top also heat up, not just the air. In a medium sized bowl combine the flour, baking soda, and salt. Stir with a fork or whisk to thoroughly mix. Set aside. With a stand or hand mixer, cream the butter. Then add the brown sugar, white sugar, and vanilla. Add the eggs one at a time. Add the flour mixture and mix on low until just mixed. Be sure to scrape the sides and bottom of the bowl with a spatula. Add the chocolate chips and stir by hand. Drop by rounded tablespoon onto a room temperature, ungreased baking sheet. Use a cookie scoop, it's much faster and less messy for those not gifted with coordination. If you are like me and only have a limited number of baking sheets, cool the sheets between batches with tap water. Don't just pour cold water on the sheet, you'll warp it. Instead, wash it with warm soapy water and then finish cooling it down with a cool, tap water rinse. These cookies spread, leave plenty of room between each one, unless you enjoy conjoined cookies. Be sure the sheet is thoroughly dry and cool before adding the next batch. A warm cookie sheet will cause burned edges. Bake at 375°F for 9 – 11 minutes. Cool on the baking sheet for two minutes and then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely." Grinning proudly he wandered over to his cooking station and got out all the ingrediants, a medium sized bowl, a whisk, and etc..


Hours later...

"Kurosaki, you made all these? Good job, good job indeed!" Ichigos Home Ec teacher, Byakuya Kuchiki, praised. "But...I have to ask, do we get to try them?" The look in his eyes meant that he wasn't going to take no for an answer, so Ichigo nodded thoughtfully. "Thank you, Kurosaki."

The whole class gathered around his station and picked either one or two cookies from the tray. Ichigo was being patted on the back and roughly got a noogie from Rengi -along with several others- when the door burst open. Everyone flinched, save for Ulquiorra and Byakuya, and looked in the direction of the sound.

'Isn't that- oh it is! Wait...what is he doing here? Class is about to end.'

"Heya punks, sorry if I'm late bu' I had ta do a lil' er-...searchin' fer my classes ahea' of time." the albino, Ichigo saw out of the window earlier, spoke. Now that he got a clearer view of the albino he saw that he had spectacular piercing gold eyes, small black acrylic gauge plugs in both of his ears, and the 'thing' near his wrist was a blue and gold LA Lakers cross that was, he thinks, supposed to be a necklace.

Byakuya looked him up and down in distaste before shaking his head and sighing, "It's alright...as long as you made to your right class. This is your correct class right?"

"Ye~s sir! I'm sure o' it, wait a min le' me check..." the albino pulled out a piece of crumpled up paper from his pocket and grinned. "Yup! Correct room indeed. Home Ec 101 correct?"

Byakuya nodded his head and guided the albino towards Ichigo. "What's your name, student?" he asked almost regretting the question.

"Name's Shirosaki Ogichi, I know its a tad strange bu' that's what my ma gave me an' I ain't changin' it. Whether these stuckups like it er not." the albino, now known as Shiro, grunted out as if it was the most obvious thing in the world.

"Very well Shirosaki-" Byakuya began, but got caught short by his newest student.

"Shiro."

"Excuse me?" Byakuya asked.

"Ya were going ta say my full name, and I much perfer it as Shiro. Plain and simple."

"Alright then, class be respectful to...Shiro for today and so on. If you disobey then I'll have to sent you to the principles office." at that the whole class risked a glance at Shiro only to receive a threat-filled glare by him and immediantly nodded. "And Shiro...I expect you to be respectful to, not only me, but towards your fellow classmates as well. Is that understood?"

"Yes sir," grinning like he just got lucky with the hottest chick in school, he looked at Ichigo and smirked deviously. "Do I get ta sit next ta this carrot-top? I'd be really pleased if I could be 'partners' with 'im." Byakuya looked at Ichigo as if asking if he approved. Receiving a slow nod he smiled sympathetically and stepped to the side so Shiro could sit in the chair next to Ichigos.

Ichigo glanced at Shiro from the corner of his eye and immediantly wished he didn't because the second he did he saw Shiro licking two of his fingers slowly from the melted chocolate from the cookie he just stole from the cooling batch of cookies.

Shiro caught Ichigos line of vision and thought of something completely lewd. Slowly inserting the two fingers pass his lips, he softly sucked on them before gently deepthroating his fingers; keeping his gaze locked with Ichigos the whole time. He took a glance at Byakuya to make sure he was out of ear shot and softly moaned at the taste of the chocolate. He pulled the fingers out and began lapping them to make sure they were clean, he looked back over to Ichigo and saw that the orangette was blushing a cute shade of crimson. Shiro leaned over and licked Ichigos crimson painted cheek before chuckling softly, "Ain't ya a lil' pervert, Strawberry. Be gettin' lewd thoughts while all I'm doin' is lickin' my fingers clean from the chocolate that ended up ther'." At this Ichigos face lit up like a fire.

'This is going to be the longest senior year. Ever!' Ichigo thought with a cute pout.

Shiro saw Ichigos pout and smirked gleefully, 'This is going ta be the best senior year ever.' Shiro thought with a sinister smirk.


~Hey! What's up? For those wondering, the necklace Shiro has is on my page, links aren't working so well it seems... so yeah. Hope you think this is slightly better than the last chapter.

Drop a review and I'll drop a chapter here.

Love,
