Chapter 2

Orihime felt her heart race. These were the memorable eyes she had seen earlier that day. She couldn't stop looking at him. He also maintained eye contact with her until he spoke.

"You must be Ms. Orihime Inoue, correct?"

His voice was deep and melodious. It filled the room without much effort. Orihime thought how soothing it was and how much more attractive it made him seem.

She noticed his hands seemed to be gripping the podium with a lot of pressure. Had she angered him already?

Realizing he was waiting for her answer she managed to get out a soft "yes"

" This over here is your teacher"

The raven hair man pointed at the snoring guy on the desk. Orihime was confused. If that was the teacher then who was he?

"His name is Mr. Stark,"

For just a brief moment she saw panic in his eyes before he spoke again

"You can call me Mr Cifer or Ulquiorra. I do not care. I will be teaching you."

He paused as a few students let out a low giggle.

"Keep in mind I do not tolerate any nonsense in my classroom,"

He briefly shifted his eyes towards the disturbance. All noise was instantly cancelled. As quick as he moved his eyes away he refocused them back onto Orihime.

"Okay open your books to page 56"

He finally broke eye contact and turned his attention to the board. Orihime still felt confused. Who was this man? He didn't look much older then herself yet he was teaching a class. Orihime searched her brain as to where she had seen him before.

Ulquiorra…why do I know that name?

Her mind went in circles. The thought of him and her taxing first day of school made her head hurt. She knew things would be difficult and she kept telling herself it would get better.

She determined that out of all the classes she had today, this was the class everyone was the most behaved. No one spoke without raising a hand and everyone was at full alert. Orihime wondered if this teacher was a secret demon or something. He didn't seem to be the type to yell. She figured it was his eyes that stopped everyone in their tracks. They were strong and held a powerful gaze enough to shut anyone up. He looked her direction a few times throughout the class period only to look away instantly. Orihime felt warmth each time he did.

"Your homework assignment will be to answer the 5 essay questions at the end of the chapter. I will give you 10 minutes to start it before the bell rings. You may work together if need be."

A collective groan filled the classroom. Despite this, Ulquiorra's face was unchanged. He was too busy gather up his belongings to care.

It seemed rather fair in Orihime's eyes. Never at her old high school did a teacher give them time to work on assignments. The classroom had become filled with the sound of people talking and the movement of chairs. Everyone started the assignment quickly with hopes of finishing before the bell. Orihime decided to do the same until she felt a little poke on her shoulder. She turned and was faced with a wide eyes and a big smile. Orihime remembered her name started with a N?

"Wanna work with me?!"

She was very excited. She almost reminded Orihime of a puppy. Thinking she had nothing to loose Orihime smiled back with a nod of approval. The green haired girl instantly pushed her desk next to hers.

"My name is Nel! So you are new huh? Where ya come from? Ya like the school? Ya get lost yet? Make any friends yet? "

She spoke fast, almost not talking a breath between sentences.

My god she is hard to follow….

Orihime didn't really feel up to talking about herself. Luckily Nel asked about 1000 questions a minute, which made it easy to steer the conversation. Orihime wanted to know more about a certain green-eyed teacher and Nel seemed to be her ticket to information. She couldn't help but be curious.

"So…What is up with him anyway…"

Orihime tried to make her voice seem as uninterested as possible

Nel looked up with a confused look "who?"

"Mr. Cifer or Ulquiorra…. To be honest I am not sure what to call him."

"Oh! Ulquiorra! He seems so grumpy doesn't he? But don't worry he isn't all that bad … as long as you listen. I think his teaching style is easy to understand… Mr Stark is just too lazy sometimes."

Orihime's eyes looked at the teacher's desk. He was still sleeping. How was he not fired?

"He is the teacher isn't he? Why does Ulquiorra teach the class then?"

"Ahhh well Ulquiorra is a university student doing his student teaching. Guess Mr Stark saw it as an opportunity to sleep! His daughter goes to this school. I wonder if she knows about his sleeping habits….haha I would love to see that…"

Nel continued to talk about Mr. Stark's daughter on if she would beat him up or not. But Orihime's mind was elsewhere. She felt rather stupid to have not thought of student teaching.

So he isn't much older then us…. that explains why he lets people call him by his first name.

The bell rang bringing Orihime out of her though.

"YES! Class is over! To be honest I wanted to speak to you ALL DAY! I hope we can talk more tomorrow! I can teach you about the school and everything you need to know! OKAY time to go! Appointment time! BYEEEE"

Nel began running out the door. She was definitely a bubbly person. Even though she was a bit scatterbrained, Orihime liked Nel. She reminded her of how she used to be. She didn't seem complicated or vindictive.

Orihime took her time gathering her things. It was a long day and she felt exhausted. She sighed at the fact that it was only Monday. The weekend seemed so far away. She had wished she had unpacked fully already so she would just go home and be one with the bed.

So much to do, so little motivation

She looked around the room. Most students were gone. Only a few were still left chatting with each other. Mr. Stark had finally woken up and was talking to Ulquiorra. Mr. Stark was actually rather handsome with his long brown hair and bright blue eyes. He looked so carefree the total opposite of Ulquiorra; who wore a serious expression. They seemed to be talking about classes. Orihime questioned how Mr. Stark could evaluate or even give feedback to Ulquiorra when he was sleeping the whole time. Life is full of mysteries.

She slowly walked towards the door secretly glancing at Ulquiorra one last time.

How old was he? What university does he go to? Does he have a girlfriend?

Orihime giggled to herself. It had been a while since she had such playful thoughts. She was just about to exit the door when a unfamiliar voice called to her.

"Ah Ms. Inoue! A moment?"

She turned around and matched the voice to Mr. Stark. The closer she walked towards him it became more evident how sluggish he was. He kept yawning and rubbing his eye.

"Sorry I missed you earlier. I was preoccupied."

Really? Weren't you just sleeping?

"I would like to welcome you to class and to our school. If you need anything, Mr. Cifer here will be glad to help!"

He wasn't even trying to take any responsibility of his work. It was all on the student teacher. Orihime had to contain a smile when she saw the annoyance on Ulquiorra's face.

"Well need to take the kid home. See you both tomorrow. And once again, welcome"

With that he gradually left the classroom leaving Orihime and Ulquiorra alone. There was silence. Orihime wasn't sure what to say. He looked down at her but gave no indication of starting a conversation. As much as she was curious about the man, she just felt rather uncomfortable in this situation. Deciding it was best to go Orihime gave a little bow.

"Thank you for todays lesson. See you tomorrow,"

She turned on her heel to walk but was once again stopped by a rushed voice. This time it belonged to Ulquiorra.

"…Are you fine now?"

Orihime was taken aback. He had a regretful expression on his face. His eyes shifted to the side as to not match hers. Now Orihime was puzzled.

"Pardon?"

"Never mind. Have a good day Ms. Inoue,"

His expression returned to his regular stoic appearance. Before Orihime could do or say anything else, he had turned his back to her. She stood there dumbfounded for a second before exiting the classroom.

What happened? What did he mean by that?

Yeah? What did he mean? What do you think? My next update will be in a few days! Thanks to everyone who read this! xoxox
