Chapter two: Great first impression
If its one thing I hated it was P.E, there was absolutely no words I could use to describe how much I hated prancing around wearing ridiculously short shorts.
"Oh come on" I heard Karin say as she took my arm and walked me out of the changing room "It isn't all that bad" I rolled my eyes she didn't even know the half of it. "It's only for two periods" She said again, her voice unusually cheery. "And besides, I think you look good" I stopped walking and took my arm back.
"Okay, who are you and what have you done to my friend?"
Karin grinned and shook her head, reaching once again for my arm. I eyed her carefully, what was wrong with her? What happened to my Karin? The Karin that never took things seriously and would kick your ass if you ever messed with her sister and for one thing, was never ever this girly!
She must've sensed my stare and turned her head to me a grin still intact. "Oh relax will you? It's been ages and was just itching to make up for all those lost times we couldn't spend together. So breathe its just P.E"
I sighed; it would take some getting used to, with whole new Karin act going on. I wonder why she would want to change so much, she already had a great personality before. "Ne, Karin?"
"Yeah?"
"Who's Toushiro?"
Karin froze for a spilt second and I could've sworn I saw a small jealous glint in her eyes. "You mean, Toushiro Hitsugaya?" Her voice was calm with a hard edge to it; she released my arm and folded her hands behind her head.
She eyed me slowly and shrugged, "He's just your typical 'I know I'm hot and you can't have it' kinda guy" Her eyes suddenly narrowed, "Why do you ask?"
I flinched under her gaze. Karin must really be crushing on him hard for her to talk to me like that. It was probably best if I kept my distance from whoever it was she was admiring. "Oh well um he sounds… err nice?" That had to be downright the most idiotic thing to say.
What I didn't expect—over that small mistake—was Karin's reaction. "What? NO nononono, he's cocky, selfish, arrogant—,"
"Err…"
"—Mean, obnoxious and--,"
Note to self: never talk about Toushiro to Karin again; consequences of that act could be lethal. I had to give her credit though; she was feeding me anything she could use to make me not like him. I sighed, she could relax, I would never do anything to hurt her, especially if it was about some guy she liked. Karin obviously didn't know me well enough.
"Karin, stop I'm pretty sure I get it already, he's a jerk that can't be trusted, now let's go before we get yelled at for being late to class."
Karin stopped her rambling and took a deep breath. Anyone who spoke as much as she did just then would've turned purple and passed out. "Alright, let's go" She finally spoke, her unnatural grin returning to her face and linked arms with me, slightly skipping to the oval for our class.
Once we got there the class was split into two teams, girls and boys being mixed together in an even number. "Alright, is everyone ready and settled?" My head turned to the P.E teacher, a soccer ball in hand. Oh great, now I was going to be chasing after a ball. "For the first period, it will be girls and boys--," they groaned "-second period will be girls against boys" the class cheered.
I sighed, what was the difference if you versed girls or boys? It still meant running around chasing a ball and kicking it. Pathetic. I followed my team over to the playing field, taking in my teammates. The only familiar faces I recognized were Karin, Orihime, Ichigo and Rukia.
Everyone got into position after the goalie was chosen and the ball set out in middle of the playing field. The teacher blew the whistle and everyone ran towards the ball like charging bulls. Very competitive.
The ball was kicked everywhere, from one person to another. I got dizzy just by watching it fly into the air then land back onto the ground. Both teams had there mind set on one thing winning. I groaned, maybe I really shouldn't be this lazy.
My eyes were only half open when I noticed the familiar white hair again. He had managed to steal the ball from the other team and stealthily weaved through the many teenagers who tried to kick the ball away from him.
He looked up and his eyes met mine momentarily before that same smirk that had dazzled me earlier made its way to his face. I flushed, feeling all the blood rush to my cheeks. My eyes widened suddenly as he twisted himself around the crowd of teens and sent the ball at full speed in my direction. What the hell was he thinking?!
The ball came fast and I stood there frozen, my feet unable to move. I was able to force a response from my arms and quickly held them over my face, there was no way I was going to walk around with a disfigured face… and besides a broken nose would hurt.
Seconds past and I wondered when I would be knocked over by the ball that is of course if I was still alive, the ball could've hit me ages ago and it was so quick that that maybe I hadn't felt any pain as I died. Peeking over my arms I only realized that I was in fact still alive and standing.
Karin stood there in front of me, a smug smile on her face with the ball trapped under her foot. "You shouldn't stand there like a brain dead zombie Hina" I frowned at her choice of words. I hadn't meant to stand there like a 'brain dead zombie' it just sort of happened. And there was the fact that that total imbecile had tried to murder me with a soccer ball.
"Humph"
Ugh. Its so tiring being lazy, like now for instance I walked dragging my feet over the green grass as I headed over to the girls changing room. Karin had raced off in a hurry to get changed, heavens know why and had left me behind, but then again maybe I was just feeling angry because I was almost killed. I sighed; at least the day was almost over.
"Hey you!"
My head turned instinctively to the person who I assumed had called me. "Yeah?" my tone was groggy, all I wanted was to go home… maybe not, because that meant I would have to unpack everything; I shuddered visibly at the thought.
"Your that new kid right?" The girl asked. She stood in front of the other girls behind her possible gang of blonde ditz.
I nodded and noticed her looking me up and down with a raised brow; she folded her arms over her chest and sighed. "Since your new and all I'm going to be nice and let you off with a warning"
"Ehhh?"
"If I ever catch you staring at my man again you're going to regret it"
I snorted, "What the hell are you talking about?"
She narrowed her eyes and took small steps towards me; maybe she was going to walk away perhaps? She stood approximately 10 centimeters away from me; her angry and jealous expression was kind of creepy. I took a step back and put my arms in front of me, "Do you mind? You're in my personal space"
A rough growl emitted from her throat and her hands pushed forward to shove me in the shoulders, I stumbled back a step and gritted my teeth, oh it was on. "What the hell is your problem?"
"What on earth are you talking about?" The way she said it, aggravated me. It was almost too innocent. A cocky smirk tugged at her lips and she waved me off, walking by me and 'accidentally' knocking into my shoulder. "Talk about stuck up" I muttered under my breath.
At the same moment when I had said that, she turned around again her blonde clones copying her exact movements. "I'm sorry; I didn't quite catch that mind speaking up for me sweetie?"
I rolled my eyes, it was amazing how not too long ago I was fine and happy then in two seconds flat I'm some kind of angry granny. I let out an aggravated sigh and walked past her, attempting to not worsen the current feud between us. As I walked past her, she stuck her foot out quickly, tripping me over. I fell on my hands and knee's, earning me grass stains. Just great.
"Oops" She laughed "Accident's happen"
I groaned. What had I done to possibly make enemies on my first day of school? I stood up, dusted myself off and sent her a glare. "Would you please leave me alone?"
She smiled a short sweet smile "Sure thing honey, so long as you back away from him were on good terms"
What. The. Hell?
"What? Are you mentally challenged? Who is he and what does that have anything to do with me?" This school was weird. Full stop no questions about it. Just plain weird.
She gritted her teeth, and parted her lips to speak. I prepared myself she looked like the kind of person who could start a snow storm.
"What seems to be the problem here?" A new voice asked, more of a manly edge rather than that high pitch squeak that girl had.
My head turned to the direction of the voice and I gasped. He looked even better up close.
He glanced at the blonde in front of me before his eyes glided over to me. He was… well… wow. The blonde bit her lip as she watched him watch me; she looked down momentarily then returned her gaze back to him, "Hitsugaya-kun!" She suddenly wailed, running over to him and throwing her arms around his neck. "I-I – didn't know… what to do, she-she was just so mean" She cried, her fake tears falling down her rosy cheeks. I rolled my eyes, that sneaky little—
Her crowd of copycat minions all cried in unison, now that was something you only saw in horror movies. "Let me go" He said casually as he tried to pry her hands away from him. I didn't blame him, although I would've snapped them off completely.
"New kid?" He asked.
"New kid does have a name you know" Oh smooth.
The sobbing blonde looked up, her eyes red as she glared at me, "Don't be so rude" She said, removing herself from the boy to poke my shoulder with her index finger. "This happens to be Toushiro Hitsugaya who might I add is mine!"
"I don't belong to you" Toushiro said calmly. So that's who he is, the kid with the snowy white hair that had twice caught my attention. I couldn't believe it, Karin was crushing on him? The guy who had caught my attention? The drama.
"Well… itsnicetomeetyoubutigottajetseeya!" I spoke as quickly as I could and rushed off to the change rooms where I was supposed to have been ten minutes earlier. Okay, so now that I knew who he was all I would have to do is stay away and things will be fine. I'm sure Karin wouldn't care if I didn't tell her about this sudden incident.
Besides what would she have to worry about? It's not like I was actually crushing on the guy myself…
Oh… damn.
Gosh, I think this chapter turned out bad. Not exactly how I wanted it… kind of bitchy huh? Well it gets worse… much… much worse.
Reviews mean a chapter three. So get reviewing guys. ;)
