Greetings

7:00am and the first day of high school was about to begin for the few hundreds of teens wondering the hallways. As usual the hallways were crowded with kids left to right, chatter was in the air and gossip was already spreading like a wild fire in a dry grassland. The bell would ring at 7:05am telling the kids that school has begon and everyone should be in there class, and yet people were in no rush to get to class.

"Rukia-san!"a high pitch voice echoed across the hallways. A young bubbly teen came running up to Rukia. She had brown-orange hair that complemented her brown eyes as she wore a light pink dress with sandals the color of white with a hint of green on the bottom. She had her hair back behind her ears that was held up on both sides with a hibiscus shaped hair pins in the color of an aqua blue.

"Rukia-san! It's been a while, how was your summer?" Her cheerful friend asked as she settled down from the familiar face of her good friend.

"Orihime, wow its nice seeing you, and summer? it was okay, I helped my nii-sama with some papers and been looking for a job in the neighborhood."

"Oh, that's great, I have been working at the new bakery, it's called "Sweet-n-Stop". It's fun there I got to even make my own cupcake! It's made out of bean paste and jelly. Rukia-san should try it, I know you will like it" Orihime said in excitement

"Eto…." Rukia knew Orihime wasn't the best cook on earth and she always did love eating these weird combinations of food together. But Rukia didn't want to hurt he friend's feeling so she had to think of something that would get her out of eating the so called cupcake and at the same time not hurting Orihime.

"..Orihime, thanks for the offer, but I really need to lay off the sweet, it's not healthy for me" She said as a sweat dropped from her forehead as she waited for her reply.

"Hmm…" Orihime said under her breath as she was putting her thinking cap on.

"Demo Orhime it's n-"but before Rukia could get her words out Orihime intervened

"Oi Rukia, I understand, I mean those sweets can go right through you"

"Wait was that an insult and is she calling me fat" Rukia thought

"So that's why I am going to make you a special cupcake!" She said as she patted her friend on the shoulder

"S-special….cupcake?" Rukia said in surprise and shock.

"Of course it will kind of be like a diet cupcake, don't worry I won't put sweets in it. It will be made out of many kinds of fruits and vegetables and I know you will like it" she said in a smile

Rukia still wasn't sure about it. But she knew she couldn't stop her .

"Orihime, have you seen any other of our friends around?"

"Lets see…." Orihime said. As she was about to answer a loud voice hurdled over to them

"Rukia!" Rukia turned around to find the suspect of the person who called her. She had red hair with a purple hair tie that held the back of her hair in a ponytail. She wore long khaki pants that were up to her knees and a shirt with many shades of blue on it. Her whole outfit really brought out her sea blue eyes that were coming ever so closer to Rukia. Hitomi Kasumi ran up to her best friend in white sneakers with a small in print of Toto the panda bear, her favorite cartoon.

"Kasumi!" Rukia said in shock and surprise as her best friend hugged her. Kasumi only standing about 2 more inches above Rukia, was happy to see her childhood friend after a long month of summer break.

"Ohayou Kasumi-chan" Orihime said as Kasumi was still latched to Rukia.

Kasumi finally letting go of Rukia looked at Orihime and gave her a hug to as she hasn't seen her in a while to.

"Ohayou Orihime-san!" she said as she let go of her.

"Oi Kasumi why haven't I seen you over the summer?" Rukia said a little louder then usual voice as the hallways were still pretty loud and the many conversations going around them at the same time.

"I know I have been traveling around to find another job to pay off some bills that have yet to be payed" Kasumi said

"Oi! your still paying for bills! and another job I mean you already have a job and go to school, you know if you need money nii-sama and I can help" Rukia said in a concerned voice.

Kasumi currently lived alone in a small house. After her mother died she has been trying to support herself and her dad at the same time. Her dad is currently in jail for Drugs and violence, but he was trying his best to get out early so he could help Kasumi out. Kasumi usually goes to see her dad every month or so to update on everything. Even though her dad was in jail, she still loved him and he knew that and was motivated to turn over a new leaf when getting out of jail.

"Thanks, but you know me Rukia, I don't like asking people for money" she said as she waved her hands in front of her trying to re assure Rukia everything was fine.

"Demo!"Rukia yelled

"Guys the bell is about to ring we need to head to class" Orihime said as she push the two friends in the hallway to there classroom. Entering the classroom nothing really changed over the break, although the desks seemed to be new, but that was all. The teacher was also not present, probably just a little late. I mean its the first day of school

"Over here" A tall slender man called out waving his hand over his head. He was wearing the school uniform which as usual a white t-shirt with a blue and yellow stripped tie with Khaki colored long pants down to his feet. Having short black hair and glasses he was easily recognized by the trio.

"Ishida!" Kasumi said as she ran up to hug him

"Kasumi-chan is in a happy mood today" Orihime pointed out

"Ohayou Kasumi-san"

Kasumi let go of Ishida and noticed he was wearing his school uniform.

"Ishida, did you forget to take off your uniform from last year" Kasumi said in a sarcastic tone.

"Funny Kasumi, but no, I chose to wear this" He said as he fixed his tie that was wrinkled up a little from the surprise hug he was just given.

"Oi Rukia what do you think?" She said to her friend that was a few inches away from her.

"Ehh..." she didn't know how to respond

"Ishida-kun you look good in them" Orihime pointed out as Ishida turned her way and re adjusted his glasses.

"You think well I think you-" he was saying until a red hair girl came running up to Orihime from the back and gave her a bear hug grabbing on to her chest.

"Hime-chan I missed you so much, your cute smile and you look so cute in that outfit. Ohhh Hime did your marshmallows grow over the summer!"

The girl was none other then Chizuru Honsho. Chizuru always seemed be really attracted to Orihime as she always hugged her when ever should could and fondles with her chest.

"Marshmallows?" Kasumi said to herself

"No way you have marshmallows Honsho, Can I have some!" Kasumi said in an excited tone as she turned away from the conversation she was having with Rukia.

"Kasumi, I sometimes wonder what goes through your head" Rukia said to her oh so helpless friend who was still awaiting for the marshmallows she would probably not get.

"Baka Hitomi I was talking about her breasts!" Chizuru said as she stuck her tongue out.

"Aww...so no marshmallows" Kasumi said in disapointment

"Baka" Rukia said as she slapped her friend in the back of her head. Maybe she could actually smack some sense into her friend.

As Chizuru was still attached to Orihime she was soon hit in the head by an un happy teen. She had black spiky hair to one side and had dark-ish brown eyes. Wearing a plan old t-shirt the color of white with some shorts that were tan, she knocked Chizuru down.

"Tatsuki-chan!"Orihime said in excitement

"Oi baka what did you do that for Arisawa!" Chizuru said as she got up from the tomboyish girl who just hit her.

Orihime hugged her angered friend and everything calmed down a bit. It was 7:10am and the teacher was still not here and everyone had there own group they talked into.

"Yo" A faint, but familiar voice came over to there little group. It were two boys. Keigo Asano and Mizuiro Kojima. The two boys wondered over to the group. the group was getting bigger with more people and yet it still felt like they were missing a few people. The class was getting pretty loud, the class was loud enough to be heard in the halls, but sooner or not the teacher would come, which indeed that happened.

"Well class it seems you seem to be all spirited for school, but we need to get class start, please take your seat everyone" Misato Ochi said in a calm tone as she watched everyone pick there seats. She was familiar with this class and had them for all three years so she really knew the were four rows and in each row there were 8 chairs. Row one was the nearest to the door and row 4 was the closest to the windows. Kasumi sat in row three in the 3th seat, so she could be alittle in the front, but also in the back. Rukia sat right behind her. Ishida sat in the forth row in the 1st seat and Orihime sat behind him. Finally the class settled down and only a few seats had yet to be filled.

"Okay I am going to take attendance" Misato said as she got her clip board and produced to call names.

"Asano here, Kojima, here, Kuchiki here, Hitomi here, Arasawa here, Kurosaki and Yasutora..." She said under her breath as she looked around the room for them.

"Kurosaki Ichigo and Yasutora Sado" She said out loud

"Late as always I see...oh well probably in some fights, they will show up sometime" she said as she continued on. The class whispered around and her remark, but Misato was used to those two showing up late.

"Okay class its time to get started" the teacher said as she was about to start writing until two boys showed up through the door. A little roughed up, the two boys entered the room.

"Oi, sorry were late, just had to deal with some jerks"

"Mhm"

It was Ichigo and Sado that came in. The teacher gave them a quick glance, but procceded.

"Ah yes, well please take a seat now, we need to get started"

"Hai" they both said to the teacher.

"There's only a few seats left so please pick which one, it will be your seat for the year, unless you wish to change seats" she said as she grabbed a piece of chock and started writing on the write board. Only two seats were left One in the front of row 3 and the other one that was seat 4 in row four. Sado took the first seat in the 3rd row. Ichigo wondered to the only seat left and sat down. As he looked to the side he noticed the petite figure looking at him. She was looking at him with her violet eyes that seemed like jewels from a treasure chest. But quickly she look forward again.

She was not happy to sit near Ichigo and Ichigo felt the same. Ichigo just ignored her and pretended she was not there, as did Rukia. You could feel the tension in the room from those two. It wasn't hard to notice from the four friends that were concerned about those two. Kasumi, Ishida, Sado and Orihime knew why they hated each other. Although Ishida and Sado tried to convince Ichigo to give it a rest, his cocky and stubborn attitude prevented it. Rukia also Refused to when Orihime tired to help her. But Kasumi was on Rukia's side. She was also mad at Ichigo. As her best friend she stuck to her side no matter what. And what Ichigo did to her, she won't be forgiving Ichigo for a long time.

Although the few hours went by fast, to the six of them it went by like a sail running a marathon. Kasumi kept fiddling with her pencil, Ishida was listening to the teacher and took notes. Orihime was also some what focused, although she was thinking on how to make the new cupcake she promised Rukia. Rukia just kept looking forward and no were else trying not to acknowledge Ichigo sitting just a few feet away from her. Ichigo had his head down, wishing school would hurry up and Sado was sitting there quite. Finally after the many hours that felt like days to the teens rang, which was a sound of freedom to the kids.

"Okay guys, lunch is at hand, so go eat and come back in the next 45 minutes"

Everyone rushed out to the hallways to again pack the hallways full and crowded. Although some kids were still in the classroom getting things situated.

"Oi Kasumi lets go" Rukia said as she dragged her friend out of the room as far away from there as possible. Kasumi didn't question her or struggle, she let her friend drag her all the way to were they were going.

Orihime looked at the two as they left with a worried expression on her face.

"Even though the incident between Rukia and Ichigo was about a year ago, there still not talking to each other" she though.

"Hime-chan you have to eat lunch with us" Chizuru said as she hugged Orihime again, but again being knocked off by Tatsuki.

"Hai" Orihime left with the group of girls to each lunch and all that was left were the boys. Ichigo was still in a grumpy mood and it was easy to see that.

"Come on guys we only have 45 minutes so lets get going" Keigo said as he was leaving with Mizurio. Sado and Ichigo slowly got up from there seats and proceeded out the door with there friends. Leaving the class with only the teacher, which then closed the door and sat done, to get some food out and eat it quietly for the next 45 minutes.
