She has been interested in that orange headed boy since she befriended Tsukuki. Interested, not love. The boy's hair is eyes catching, so is his trademark frown. He is so different from the rest of the guys she knows. She likes to know more about him. Therefore, she becomes his shadow. Quietly observing him from a distance. Maybe unknown to her conscious mind, her interests in him builds from the loneliness that she could relate to with him. Both are lonely in different ways. Both wearing masks, one is a cheerful smile, the other is an angry frown.
The boy, whom her eyes are following, is currently being dragged by the new transferred student. Something about this new girl has changed the boy. She could sense the change. The change is a positive one. He seems to be happier. The girl has lifted the boy's spirits. Little does she know, the statement is meaningful literally as well.
Looking at the couple, she can't help smiling at their antics. The poor boy is trying so hard to get the message across. Of course she realise that the girl is not wearing a bra. Like the rest of the girls, she has felt a little embarrassed for her. And like the rest, she does not know how to react towards her. Is she doing it on purpose to attract attention or she has innocently forgotten about it? Judging from the couple's interaction, she begins to incline towards the second explanation.
In the first place, she has already found it hard to believe that a small-built and underdeveloped girl like Rukia could be in the same class as her. She suspected that the girl is younger than them all. But for some reasons, she also thought this idea ridiculous as the school administration would not have assigned that small girl her to her class.
No matter what reasons there are for the girl to be transferred and be so intimate towards the boy, she decided, she would find out soon. They have not discovered her shadowing them. She knew she shouldn't, but it's too tempting to resist. It's fun as well.
There they are, already just a few more steps away from the sick bay.
"Oi, I am not sick ok? There is no need to go there!!" the boy has been heard complaining all the while as the girl dragged him on.
"Shut up! Look at you, so red and sweating so heavily! How can you not be sick? There's no need to act strong you know! If it's your ego issues, there's nothing to worry about, I heard the doctor has left to send a sick poor home a while ago!"
Oh no! Does that mean there will only be the two of us in the room? Ichigo could decide whether to panic or to be excited at this prospect.
WAIT A MINUTE! Suddenly, the boy felt a brainwave.
