"Hello, Shuhei!" Orihime turned around and hugged Rukia goodbye. When Rukia saw Shuhei, he had a dozen of yellow roses in his hand. All Orihime could say is 'awe.'

"You ready to go home?" Shuhei handed Rukia the roses and they walked down the stairs together.

Rukia took a sniff at the flowers. She then turned to Shuhei. "Why'd you buy me flowers?"

"I can't buy my girlfriend flowers for no reason?" He took a hold of her hand and was now driving with one hand.

"Oh." Was all she can say.

"How was studying?" He changed the station. All this rap isn't very pleasant to the ears.

"It was fine, actually, but Senna called me." Rukia was twirling a flower in between her fingers.

"Oh.. what'd she say?" Rukia could tell he was holding her hand a little tighter.

"Nothing, really. She just asked me where I was and just hung up." Now she noticed his grip was loose once more.

"That's good." They drove home in quiet.

"How was your day, sweetie?" Hisana, Rukia's mother, greeted her after the butler opened the door from the kitchen.

"It was good." Rukia shifted her backpack and her flowers a little.

"Those are nice. Shuhei, right?" Hisana walked into the large dining room where Rukia was at. She wiped her hands on a cloth.

"Yup." Rukia headed to the stairs.

"Go up those in a vase and get ready for dinner. It's almost ready." Once Rukia was almost at the top, Hisana spoke again. "And your father wants to talk to you, too." Rukia smiled because every time her father wanted to talk to her, it was a gift to her.

Rukia's room was any teenage girl's dream. Her back wall was a cream color with professionally drawn and painted cherry blossom trees. Her bed was on this wall. Her bed was a king sized bed with light pink comforters. Her desk. night stands and her other three walls were this pink too. She put the flowers in a vase and placed it on her desk. Her bathroom and closet were ginormous; fit for 50 people. Once she got ready for dinner, she walked down and her parents were sitting at the dinning room, already.

"Rukia, I made your favorite, spaghetti!" Hisana motioned for Rukia to take a seat. After Rukia took a seat, the first person to ask her anything was Byakuya.

"Rukia, how was your day today?" It was quick and serious.

"Why is everyone asking me this?" She thought as she ate her dinner. "It was good. I studied at Orihime's today."

"Oh, so you weren't at Shuhei's practice?" Byakuya asked. Rukia shook her head no. "That's good." Dinner was quiet for a couple of minutes until Byakuya spoke up once more. "When you go to the modeling thing, this weekend, no boys, okay?"

"Okay. I'm finished." A butler came and took a her plate while she headed up the stairs. Byakuya turned around to check if Rukia had arrived to the top of the stairs.

"Hisana, we need to keep a closer eye on her." Byakuya said while motioning to a maid that he was finished with his plate.

"We?" Hisana stretched her neck a bit. "Rukia isn't our little girl anymore. She's a young woman; she can take of herself. What are you going to do when she goes away to college?" Hisana is asked.

"I have people." Byakuya said seriously. He intended to keep his little princess safe.

"No." Hisana shook her head. "She can take care of herself."

"Do you know what that hard-headed boyfriend of hers did today?"

"What'd he do."

"Senna kissed him." Hisana was was wide-eyed. Senna was Rukia's best friend and never imagined in her entire life that Senna would do such a thing.

"No.." Hisana got up and started walking towards Rukia's room. Byakuya stayed put.

"Didn't you say that she's independent now? She'll resolve her problem when she's ready to."

"She doesn't know though." Hisana didn't go any further up the stairs. "When she does realize it, and it goes through her skull, she'll be furious."

"I'm hurt that I can't help her either, dear." Byakuya got up from his chair to comfort Hisana. "We'll just have to wait and see."

Rukia awoke the same way every morning. She got ready and went to school, but today, instead of driving in her own car, she decided to take a walk; a little time to herself wouldn't hurt. Wearing her pink trench coat, she grabbed her yellow backpack and left the door. On the walk, she was wondering why everyone was acting so weird and why everyone was asking how her day was yesterday. Suddenly, she saw something bump to her. She looked down and noticed it was a little girl looking up back at her.

"Oh my!" She got down and helped the little girl up. "I'm so sorry sweetie." She noticed that her elbow was scraped and imminently knew the trick. "I always keep a band-aid in here." She dug through her small pouch of her backpack (Jansport backpacks only have two pouches) and pulled out a chappy band-aid. "There we go!" She gently placed it on her elbow and suddenly remembered something else. "I made some cookies last night and have some left over. Would you like one?" The little girl nodded. "Here you go?" Rukia gave her a cookie and went on with her walk.

"Thankyou ma'am!" The little girl waved. After another ten minutes of walking, she arrived at her school's gate. Eyes were then all on her. She had everyone's individual attention. She looked around and just continued walking to their spot they hung at before school, the fountain. She rounded the school and the first person the recognize her was Orihime.

"Rukia!" Orihime had a energetic wave. Orihime handed Rukia her car keys.
"I had a lot of stares this morning."

In homeroom, school continued as usual; nothing big, until the principal on the intercom made a comment.
"Excuse me teachers, seniors, this is for you." He began. "This year's annual field day will be lead and decided by your student council and your class president. You all and Miss Kuchiki will decide on it this afternoon." Rukia looked up at this. This meant she had to stay after school with a bunch of nerds, excluding Uryu. "Oh yes, Rukia, can you come to the office?" Everyone looked her her again for the second time today. Shuhei leaned to her side,

"What's happening?"
"No idea." She whispered back and with that, she walked out the door. She walked down the door and in the office, the staff were staring at her.

"Rukia, sweetie, are you feeling okay?" One of the secretary's asked.

"I'm doing fine." She was about had enough with this. "I was told to come here."

"Oh yes!" She realized now why she was here. "You and a selected few were told to go talk to the freshmen and ask them if they have any questions about life and the up coming days."

"And I'm just informed this today?" Rukia began. "I mean, we could have been told this a few days in advance."

"Yup, principal's doing." The secretary fondled with a manilla folder. "Last minute thing. You know he's known for that."

"Where's the others, anyways?" The secretary pointed outside where they were waiting. She then handed Rukia the manilla folder where they would be going to. "I hope you continue to feel good today." Rukia just raised her eyebrow and went outside. "At least I don't have to do busy work all day." Rukia thought. Outside, there was Senna, Uryu, and a kid with orange hair.

"Rukia!" Senna got up and hugged Rukia. "So what'd are we doing?" Rukia scratched her head.

"We have to talk to the freshmen about.." Rukia looked down at the folder. "Life's choices and answer their questions."

"Sounds fun." Uryu said sarcastically. He wasn't very fond of the younger crowd. The began walking down the hall and Rukia looked who the first teacher was.
"YES." Rukia nearly hit the ceiling while jumping up and down. Uryu stared at her.

"Who is it?" Senna asked.

"Only our favorite teacher, Mr. Ukitake." Senna was bouncing and and down too.

"Maybe he has snacks, too!" Senna and Rukia raced down the hallway leaving the two boys trailing behind them.

Knock Knock;

"Come in!" A man's voice called to those on the outside. Once he saw who walked in first, he was surprised. "Rukia!" He ran up to her and gave her a big bear hug. "How'd you been doing?" He's the only one that asked that question that didn't trigger any nerves on Rukia.
"Good, sir." She was always happy around him. Rukia sat at his desk and spun around in it.

"How's Shuhei?" He erased something on the board. "You two still going at it?"

"He's fine and yup." Rukia opened the manilla folder and began talking to the freshmen. "Okay, freshmen! I am class president for the senior class this year, Rukia Kuchiki. Today there was an announcement that field day will be decided this afternoon and we're here to answer any questions and questions on the upcoming days." Rukia motioned for the other three to introduce themselves.

"Oh yes!" Senna raised both her arms up. "My name is Senna, plain and simple." Uryu was about to open his mouth before she continued her 'speech.' "I'm on the cheerleading team and would like all of you to join next year! Without the awesome me," She pointed her thumb to herself, "the cheerleading team has no chance at meets." Senna then patted the back on Uryu's back to make sure he understood she was done.

"Uh, I'm Uryu Ishida."
"Ichigo Kurosaki." Boys now-a-days.

"Okay kids! Any questions for these four?" Ukitake chimed in.

"Uh, Ichigo!" All their heads turned to Ichigo. "I heard your batting average was really good." The kid was so excited that he was asking Ichigo a question that he was on the edge of his chair and nearly bounced to the ceiling. "What is it?"

".434." He simply said. The boys in the class then turned to talk amongst themselves with a couple oohs and ahhs.

"Children, next question." Ukitake cooled them down. Ukitake asked the next question.

"Where are you four going to do when you head out?"

"Medical career." Ichigo and Rukia said at the same time. These freshmen really know how to listen. Rukia and Ichigo looked at each other but Rukia continued. "But if I can get into modeling, I'll do that." Rukia said.

"Business." Uryu was the boring type but he knew exactly where his life was heading.

"Modeling, too!" Senna said with pep. The next couple of questions included things like:

"Is field day fun?"

"What's the best thing about senior year?" and

"How can I join the cheerleading team next year."

"Okay students, one more question!" Ukitake didn't want to get rid of his favorite freshmen, but he had to keep a schedule. One student raised their hand and waited for permission to ask the question.

"What's one rule you live by?" A real thought-provoking question. Ichigo was the first to answer.

"Always strive for your dreams. After that, Uryu told his.

"Success is the key." The class booed at his lame response they could get from any teacher. He glared back.
"Always be happy!" Senna said.. bouncy as usual. After this, Rukia closed her eyes for a slight second to think.

"Choose your friends wisely. They're the ones who will hurt you the hardest and will get you going again." Senna then started bawling. Her hands were to her eyes and she was crying loudly. Rukia ran to her side to comfort her.

"Senna, what's wrong?"

"I'm so sorry, Rukia! I'm so sorry!" Senna sat on the floor now. "Please forgive me!" Rukia kneed down so she could see eye-to-eye with Rukia.

"What are you talking about Senna?" Rukia didn't understand anything that happening. Senna got up and walked to the door. She then turned around to say one more thing.
"I'm sorry." She opened the door and headed out. Rukia waved goodbye to Ukitake and ran outside to Senna.

WHOO. I hoped you all liked it!
I tried to make a cliffhanger.. but that didn't necessarily work out. At least it's longer!
