"Grimmjow. Grimmjow Jaegerjaquez," he said, staring straight into Rukia's violet eyes.
Grimmjow headed for the spare seat that Miss Ochi had indicated. Right next to the cute black haired girl. He knew her from somewhere, just where.
Miss Ochi started handing out text books for this semester and with her attention elsewhere, Grimmjow took the opportunity to introduce himself.
"Hi. I'm Grimmjow," he said, holding out a hand to the creature beside him.
She looked at the hand for a moment before holding her own out and shaking. "Nice to meet you," she said.
He cocked his head as she took her hand away. It had been so warm, almost like holding hot coal.
"I didn't catch your name," he persisted.
"It's Rukia. Rukia Kuchiki," she said and took the textbook she had been handed, instantly opening and scanning the contents page.
Grimmjow sighed as he took his textbook, muttering his "Thanks". He glanced at the subject- Maths. He laughed under his breath. The first lesson in this new school and it was something he understood. Well that was a good start, he supposed.
Miss Ochi wrote the page numbers upon the blackboard and explained the subject they would begin this term was algebra. She then asked them to read the two pages and answer the summary questions on the basics. If anyone needed a hand, all they had to do was ask.
Grimmjow sighed as his eyes skimmed the paper and soon found them settling upon Rukia. What a pretty name. He watched her read the pages, her lower lip protruding as if she was concentrating hard.
Sighing, Grimmjow dug into his satchel for a pen and his notebook. He flipped it open to the first clean page, smoothed it out and began answering the questions.
The dinner bell soon rang and many students headed out as fast as they could. Keigo, the class clown, had organised a class wide snowball fight, but Rukia was remaining inside this dinner. She was planning to eat her lunch and relax after stretching her brain with those dumb Math questions.
Ichigo collected his belongings and stood by her desk as she scanned her last answer. She was mumbling under her breath, her pen following her words.
"Rukia, relax, you've done fine!" he soothed. "You always do!"
"But what if I haven't?" she asked worriedly, biting her lower lip again.
He laughed and closed her book, as if that would calm her nerves.
"You need something to eat!" he laughed and spotted the new boy just behind her, who was packing his own bag.
He moved around his girlfriend and extended a hand.
"Grimmjow wasn't it? I'm Ichigo Kurosaki. Do you want to eat lunch with us today?" he asked.
"Yeah sure," the other smiled, and Ichigo noticed his eyes become a little brighter.
