Elise pov
class just ended. I didn't really pay attention in class which is strange for me, it's more of something that Beth would do. I got to know Toshiro a bit more but he still seemed a little distant, I guess it's only because we only just met but I doesn't feel like that. It feels like I've known him for my entire life. I still don't understand this feeling. As we packed our bags I offered if he wanted to sit with us. He said he'd have to check with Ichigo first
"so you guys are close then?" I asked.
"we grew up together. we're more like brothers then anything" he smiled to himself.
I couldn't help but smile to that. "so he's like part of your family. What do your parents think of you and Ichigo?"
His face dropped. "My parents aren't here any more". He answered harshly and coldly
I think I stepped on a mine there, the atmosphere darkened and a barrier suddenly formed between us. It's obvious he still doesn't trust me which made my heart drop but I made sense since we still don't know each other.
"hey Anna. Anna " I had call Anna a few times before she realized I was talking to here. She seemed distracted, it was probably due to Yuruichi. My heart wrenched and I wanted to tell here 'it's okaii' or 'she'll be back, i promise' but we knew it would be a promise i couldn't keep somehow.
shall we find Ichigo and see if he wants to join us for lunch?"
"sure" she smiled but i knew it's wasn't sincere. I smiled back knowingly.
As we walked of the classroom Ichigo passed with Beth behind, it's was obvious she did it just to check his arse out. She smiled, she liked it.
"Hey Ichigo, Elise invited us to lunch, wanna join?" Toshiro asked hopefully.
"Sorry man, got detention" Ichigo said looking annoyed.
"what? first day and you have detention?" Toshiro was shocked.
"Blame this thing behind me" He nodded to Beth behind him.
"typical" Elise laughed.
"Beth?"Anna asked curiously.
She then was pulled out from looking at Ichigo's arse to find everyone looking at her for an explanation. She blushed as she was caught in the act.
"huh?"
"care to explain why Ichigo has detention for his first day although i must say i'm not surprised and you probably are in detention as well"
"what? hows is it my fault? he's the one who couldn't stop laughing!" Her voice was getting high pitched which most if the time meant she was getting embarrassed or frustrated and in this case it was probably both.
"And your the one who banged her head on the desk which got the attention of the teacher!" Ichigo argued back.
"well if you didn't stop laughing then i wouldn't have banged my head on the desk now would I. Then neither of us would have detention"
"so, wanna have lunch with us? seen as Ichigo would be in detention" I offered again to Toshiro.
"I guess that wouldn't be a problem". He responded.
"okaii well it's this way" We led him to the hall where we had lunch and left Ichigo and Beth arguing. They didn't even notice that we left.

'who was this girl?' she was like a fire ball when you get her started, it was quite amusing. Even though we were arguing a smile played on my lips.
"screw this, we need to get to detention" i shouted.
"oh!" realization hit her. "sir's going to kill us if we're late".
We both ran down the corridor and got into the room before sir closed the door on us. The teacher saw us and stood in front of the door way so we couldn't go in the classroom. He looked disapprovingly as this fireball of a girl whose name was apparently Beth.
"Bethany I see your in detention and on your first day as well. This had better be not as bad as last term. I see you brought a friend with you, and he seems new" He tuned to me. "I'd not get involved with this girl, we wouldn't want a new student to get corrupted".
"aww, i missed you too sir" Beth smiled up at the teacher. I was surprised by her confidence in front of a teacher, she seemed to be in detention regularly. I couldn't help but chuckle. The teacher noticed.
"seems you are already a lost cause" He sighed. "well, get in"
we entered another classroom with tables dotted around the room. Beth led me to an empty table she sat and I sat opposite. We were giving lined paper to fill during detention. I started on my lines straight away but she wrote a note on the paper, folded it and passed it to me. I tried to ignore it seen as i didn't want to get in trouble. She kicked my leg just to get my attention. I looked up and she pointed to the paper. I sighed and started to read.
'what's your last name?'
I responded 'Kurosaki. you?'
'Moreton, you single Ichigo Kurosaki?'
'why do you want to know Bethany Moreton'
She bit her lip to stop her self from laughing. She looked adorable like that although i prefer to hear her laugh. I smirked. I took the paper back and wrote;
'you like me dont you?' She blushed as she read it
'no, why think that?' she wrote back
'yes you do' I could tell she was getting angry when she read it, i had laugh to cover up my laugh by coughing.
'No i dont!' she kicked me out of frustration. I then couldn't hold in my laugh.
"quite Bethany!" shouted the teacher.
"What it's not my fault!" she rose from her seat, i was in stitches by this time.
"do you want after school detention?" The teacher said firmly.
she sighed. "No sir!" she sat back down and ignored me for the rest of detention.
Nel's POV
"ahhh" i moaned from my headache.
Why did i drink so much last night knowing i had work the next day?
I then realized it was probably due because i had work the next day. I reached into my bag to find some pain killers but i forgot them. I scanned the room for my younger brother but found Toshiro with two girls with him instead.
'Lady killer' I thought
I walked over and sat down opposite him.
"where's Ichigo?" i said bluntly.
"detention, why?! he responded. The two girls looked between him and him questioningly.
"i gave him my pills" I replied uninterested anymore.
"we did tell you no to drink to much and now look, suffer the consequences"He said pointedly
"oh, stop sounding like an adult!" i snapped.
"i have pills" The girl furthest away from him said. She had thick ringlet hair pulled back into a pony.
"weren't you in one of my classes earlier? whats your name?" I looked her up and down with curiosity.
"uh,Anna"
'Anna, interesting' I thought.
"got a drink to go with these pills , Anna ?" she pulled out a half filled bottle of water.
"thanks" i popped the pills into my mouth and took a swig of water to help them down. The water seemed nicer than normal.
'more and more intersting' i wondered. At that moment Ichigo walked in with a smaller ginger girl trailing behind.
"hey Beth" The girl closest to Toshiro called. Both Ichigo and Beth looked up and walked over.

As we walked out of the room from detention I turned to face up to Ichigo
"you know you almost got me after school detention!" I said as challenging as I could. He just smirked.
"i have the perfect name for you" He completely ignored me.
"My parents would have practically murdered me if i got after school detention, i would've had to walk home in the dark. You dont know what might have happened to me." I tried again
"fireball, you have a shorter temper than Toshiro" He responded as if i didn't say anything.
I looked at him flabbergasted. He just laughed as i stalked off. He followed which made me even more angrier. When we got to the hall Elise called to us. I turned and saw Elise sitting next to Toshiro and Anna with a green haired woman sitting opposite Toshiro. I stalked over and sat opposite Anna in a huff. Ichigo wandered over amused by my temper but as his eyes settled on the woman his smile disappeared.
"what you doing here?" Ichigo asked coldly the woman. I looked with curiosity as he was familiar with her, he didnt seem to happy to see her though.
"can't an older sister say hi to her younger brother and his friends". she asked innocently.
"no" he replied bluntly.
"oh, come on Ichigo! lighten up, you now it wasn't her fault" Toshiro butt in.
"stay out of this Toshiro!" Ichigo snapped. The table was silent as we looked in shock. The woman turned to me.
"Your probably don't know me but i'm this idiot's older sister" she pointed to Ichigo. "I work here as a substitute teacher from today onward. Call me Nel, and you are?" She offered her hand to me to shake but before i could shake it Ichigo slapped it away.
"you don't need to know so gives some decency if you have any and leave" Ichigo said with no emotion. I looked in wonder at Ichigo.
Nel sighed. "i can see im not wanted here so 'll leave"
Even as she left the awkwardness of the conversation before still lingered for the rest of lunch and so we all ate in silence.
