Chapter 3 First day
Jaden walked at least one mile, more like jogged, until she reached Karakura High.
"Well, let's hope this place isn't filled with idiots like my old school." Jaden mumbled.
As Jaden walked through the school, she got weird looks from everyone, but she allows shrugged them off. Before she knew, Jaden had reached the class she was assigned to, class 1-3. Right as Jaden was about to open the sliding the door, Ms. Ochi opened the door.
"Oh! Hello! You must be the newest student. My name is Ms. Ochi." she said. Jaden laughed nervously at her new teacher.
"Heh. Yeah, that's me." Jaden answered. Just then, the bell rang. Meaning it was time for school to start.
"Excellent timing. Now, wait out here so I can introduce you to the class." Ms. Ochi said.
"Right." Jaden said.
Jaden leaned up against the wall next to the opened door until she heard Ms. Ochi say there was a new student in their class. Before going in, many thoughts began to go through Jaden's head.
"From what Kasu said, I'm able to see Hollows, spirits, and Soul Reapers. Meaning my soul is stronger than most. Dad, as stupid as he is now, is right. I have to be careful." Jaden thought.
Jaden knew most the faces she would see in there, so after letting out a sigh, she pushed herself off the wall, turned on her heel, and walked into class. She stood in front of the class, her weight on one leg, and gave her introduction.
"Yo. My name is Jaden Ashley, I'm an exchange student from America. It's nice to see ya." she said, giving a small two fingered salute and with a small smile.
They all stared at her for few moments after that. Ms. Ochi then told her to take the seat right behind Ichigo. Jaden made her way to her new seat and sat right down, still receiving some stared from people. Jaden had her eyes closed as she sat down and while people stared, but her short temper quickly got the best of her as she snapped her eyes open and slammed her fist against the desk.
"Take a picture! It'll last longer!" Jaden exclaimed.
Most of the students jumped in fear and went back to staring at the front of the class. The only ones who didn't that Jaden noticed were Chad and Ichigo. She knew Chad wouldn't freak from that little outburst. From all the episodes Jaden saw of Bleach, Chad was almost fearless. Then, she put her eyes on Ichigo, who still stared at her in shock and confusion.
"Hey." Jaden simply said, waving her hand at him as she rested her head on her other hand. That seemed to snap Ichigo out of his trance.
"Uh...hi." Ichigo replied. He kept getting this weird feeling from her, that's why he still stared.
"So, are you gonna tell me your name or not, carrot top?" Jaden said with a small smirk, using the nickname Ichigo hated through out the series. A small vain appeared on Ichigo's forehead and he slightly grit his teeth.
"My name is Ichigo." he grunted, now wearing his usual scowl. Jaden let out a small snicker before putting her attention back on Ms. Ochi.
"What's with this girl? The feeling I got from her earlier must of been annoyance." Ichigo thought facing the front of the class himself.
It wasn't long before it was time for lunch. Jaden had brought herself lunch, which was only some rice cakes her dad made. She was planning on eating by herself at her desk, but that plan was ruing when a certain bubbly orang haired girl hugged around the neck from behind.
"Gottcha!" Orihime giggled. Jaden spit out some of the food she almost choked on because of Orihime's little surprise attack.
"Oh, hey. Aren't you..." Jaden mumbled, pretending not to know.
"Dammit Orihime! What the hell!? Are you trying to kill me!?" Jaden mentally screamed.
"My name is Orihime. Welcome to Karakura High." Orihime said, slightly loosening her grip.
"Um, thanks?" Jaden said.
"Sorry about sneaking up on you. I just wanted to greet you properly." Orihime said.
Jaden just laughed forcefully at Orihime. After they both said their 'see you later', Orihime went off to have lunch with her friends. When Orihime did, Jaden put her attention back on Ichigo, who had his back turned to her. That's when she remembered something about the series.
"Oh yeah. Earlier today, Ichigo saved a little spirit girl and it was the first time he saw Rukia. That means tonight a Hollow will attack their home and his family." Jaden thought.
Her fists tightened and her heart began to slightly race. Jaden thought this would be a good chance to see if her wish hadn't gone to waste. After lunch was over and once the final school bell rang, all of the students began to leave. Jaden got up and, before he could leave, she tapped Ichigo on the shoulder.
"Hey, Ichigo?" Jaden said. She was able to get his attention by doing that.
"Oh, Jaden. What is it?" Ichigo asked.
"Mind if I walk home with you?" Jaden said, making an excuse to get a good idea where his place was and how far away it was from her house.
"Huh? Why?" Ichigo said, confused.
"She was able to scare almost everyone in class by shouting. I'm pretty sure she can walk home by herself." thought Ichigo.
"I'm new around here, so walking back with you may help me out. Besides, it's not like walking with a girl will kill ya." Jaden said, folding her arms over her chest. Ichigo scowled at her again, but let out a loud sigh.
"Fine. Just don't start complaining about your feet hurting or something." Ichigo said as she walked ahead of Jaden, who quickly followed. Jaden tightly gripped her backpack strap as she walked. Because just thinking about what'll happen after sun down makes her heart race.
