Rukia and Ichigo entered the room with the books and Rukia took her seat.

"The book we will be reading is Romeo and Juliet." All the guys in the class groaned. "It's a romantic love story that should also interest all you men because the ladies love a romantic." Immediately they all snuck a glance towards their special crush and intensively looked back at their sensei.

"Anyway, if anyone damages these books I will have to personally visit your parents at your house and have a little chat with them" Ichigo gave off a cold aura that made all of the students shiver.

"Kuchiki-san, don't make me visit your house too." he smirked again.

"That won't be necessary sensei."

"Your homework will be to read chapter one and two. You can get started now." Rukia opened her book and began to read the first page.

After a few more periods it was lunch time and Rukia met up with her friends at the rooftop.

"So what do you think of Kurosaki sensei?" Orihime asked Rukia.

"He's nothing great." she muttered.

"You're just mad that he picked on you!" Renji interjected "Whoa Rukia! Did you actually bring an obentou? Don't bring that nasty thing near me!"

"I don't cook that bad! In fact the food was delicious for breakfast. I wonder how it will be for lunch." she opened it found the most beautiful lunch…with hearts all over it!

"Um Kuchiki-san? Why are there hearts all over your lunch?" Orihime asked.

"No reason." Rukia quickly started to stuff the food in her mouth.

"You're not living with anyone are you?" Rukia started to choke on her food.

"Why do you ask?" she said weakly.

"No Kuchiki-san! Don't leave meee!" Keigo tried to grab a hold of Rukia, but was thrown to the ground.

"Like that's possible! Who would like her?" And Renji went down with a smoking punch. The group decided not to say anything more about her bentou and went on to talk about the new teacher again.

"Che! I think he's too cocky! Did you see how he smirked at us every five minutes or so!" Renji spoke with disgust.

"I'm pretty sure it was all directed at me."

"And I doubt he has a girlfriend anyway. Who would date a guy like him!" Renji continued.

"Oh yea! He definitely does not have girlfriend. It was probably just to make them stop following him or something. Definitely no girlfriend!" Rukia tried to say reassuringly, but it probably sounded more desperate.

"I think he's kinda hot" Orihime said shyly.

"Ok guys!" Tatsuki said with passion " Let's have a study group at his house to put Operation Ichihime in effect!"

"NO!" Everyone stared at Rukia strangely.

"I mean what if he does have a girlfriend? Then wouldn't it be awkward? Besides aren't we supposed to have these kind of things in more public places?"

"But you said he didn't have a girlfriend." Orihime dejectedly said. She was hoping that this operation would help her 'get' sensei.

"I just said he probably doesn't. What do I know? Anyway, I'd rather not go to his house even if he didn't have a girlfriend."
"Then why don't we have it at your house Rukia?" Tatsuki asked.

"That way we all will feel more comfortable and if he has a girlfriend she won't be there! Besides even if he does have a girlfriend Orihime can just steal him away!" Rukia's face kept getting paler and paler while Orihime's face kept getting brighter and brighter.

"Bu—"

"So no objections, right? Oh yeah Rukia? Since it's your house you can tell sensei. We'll meet this Saturday at one so Rukia can show off her newfound cooking skills for lunch!"

"What have I got myself into this time" Rukia miserably thought.

Rukia spotted Ichigo in the hallway and pulled him aside.

"Listen, my friends want to have a study group with you at my place."

"You mean at our place." Ichigo wickedly smiled.

"No I mean my place!" she sighed. "Plus, they want me to cook lunch because of your excellent cooking skills! Wait I wasn't supposed to give complements! Anyway, it's this Saturday at one so we need to have the whole house rid of your stuff and the cooking done by at least 12:30."

"Extra cooking! And cleaning too!" Ichigo whined "Can't you just say no?"
"I already tried! Besides they're my--"

"Your precious friends. Wakatta wakatta." Ichigo sighed

"Oh by the way" he whispered in her ears "How'd you like the hearts?" Rukia turned into deep shade of red and whacked him with her Chappy pencil case. She started to argue with him again and they both didn't realize that Renji walked into the hallway in time to see her turning red.

"What was Rukia doing with that creep whispering in her ear!"
