A/N: Hey, so so sorry for updating late. I hope you didn't lose interest in the story- I would have.

Well, most of the times.

Anyway, this might seem filler-ish, but enjoy-

On Monday..

21st January, 2011 (Saturday), 7.00 p.m.

Rangiku called to tell me what had happened to her last night.

"You guys were all drunk- even me, obviously- so I took a taxi, threw you all inside and gave the driver some money and your address!" she piped in the phone.

Which cost me ten broken plates, a dining table that had been drooled on, a bathroom that stank of vomit, and a bedroom in which two of my friends screwed-up.

I think so, anyway, I wasn't going to be a genius and open the door and witness it all.

Let me explain- this morning after I woke up and was finally done with vomiting for half-an-hour, I came and found Renji sprawled on my dining table- and all the dinner plates, the flower vase- everything on the floor, broken to pieces.

"Renji, get the hell down!" I shouted- louder than I wanted to.

"Wha-!" Renji woke up with a start and fell on the broken china pieces below. His arm got cut and he hissed at me for waking me up so nicely. I mumbeled a sorry, and then saw Inoue coming (well, more like staggering) over to Renji and gasping at his bleeding wound.

"I'll treat it up right away!" she said, blushing to the roots of her hair and then went off, looking for the first aid box.

Uryu came out of my bedroom, flushed himself- his glasses askewed on his face and buttoning up the top of his shirt. He held his head and groaned.

Well, he had nothing to complain- he had had a fun night with Miss Inoue, dead drunk and no boundaries. I never thought Inoue and Ishida would lose their virginity so early, but then, I had already witnessed something like this before when I had called Uryu up some time ago- so it wasn't a surprise. But the shock of them doing it in my bedroom…

Seriously, I have three bedrooms at my place- and from all of them- they find mine? I cannot sleep in the guest bedroom- the mattress is too hard, and the other bedroom doesn't have a bed- but instead just a mattress you have to spread on the floor.

Like I could ever sleep like that.

I'm not saying I'm spoilt, but I'm just not used to it.

Ichigo tried spraying his deo on my bed to give it a change of smell and hopefully make it feel different. Now, my sheets, pillow, covers- everything, smell of him.

Of course, now that we're back to our senses, we have started sleeping in our separate houses.

And of course, I miss him being next to my bed, but now I smell his deo whenever I lay down, and it's…a nice change.

Hopefully, it'll slowly make me grow out of my habit of wanting to sleep next to him.

And then Histugaya came up and said "Damn Rangiku…" and then ran off to throw up in my bathroom. It still stinks- no matter what I try to do it.

Yes, damn Rangiku.

Anyway, back to the phone call.

"Where did you go?" I said into the phone.

"Hey, somebody needed to take the car, I couldn't leave it- I was just too drunk to stop at each and every house…" Rangiku said in a dull boring voice, when she piped up again, and said with all her energy- "But anyway, it was all for the better, I guess! You see, I was caught drinking and driving!"

"You were WHAT?" I shrieked "Where are you now-? Are you calling from the-? You should've contacted me sooner-! We can help-"

She had given me 15 missed calls- but that's not the point.

"Heeeeeeey, Kuchiki- chill!" Rangiku said "I'm out of jail- happily lying in my bed!"

She must've paid the fine or been let out on bail, or something (because as far as I know, this was not the first or last time she had been caught drinking and driving). I wonder how she manages to get out.

Oh wait, it's the voluptuous Rangiku Matsumoto we're talking about.

"Yeah, how much did you pay?" I asked. For all I knew, Rangiku must've hade only around 30 bucks on her after spending everything on drinks.

"What do you mean?" she exclaimed, horrified.

Um, what? I had only asked her how much she had to pay to get out of prison…

"Of course I didn't pay!" she said.

"Wai- huh-?"

"Oh, Rukia, you're so cute when you're all innocent like this!" she laughed "I just showed off more than they could handle, hon- they couldn't possibly bear to holding such a gorgeous woman behind bars!"

Technically, she's still a teenager. Not like she's ever acted like one.

"Oh forget about me- how was your time? Oh, wait- Rukia, I should tell you this- in case you don't know what happened the previous night-" Rangiku giggled "You and Ichigo were making out!"

Well, of course I remembered that.

How could I ever forget?

"And Ishida and Inoue…God! Priceless- I should've had my camera on me!" Rangiku went into peals of laughter "You all were dead drunk! Every last one! Do you know Renji almost hooked up with every girl- thinking she was Tatsuki-?"

It's cute how Renji is always faithful to Tatsuki, in such an unfaithful way- he practically made out with every girl at the pub- but only because he thought every one of them was Tatsuki- he was too drunk to notice.

"Uh yeah…." I went awkwardly.

"I told Ichigo you both were kissing madly- I mean, you and him- he doesn't remember anything from last night, can you believe it?"

"You told him? What did he say?" I exclaimed.

"Nothing, surprisingly. I mean, he mumbeled 'who cares' or 'yeah, it was fun in the end, so whatever-' but I couldn't hear him- he was sooo embarrassed!"

Well, what was I supposed to say about this?

"Rukia- do you like-you know- like him?" she asked me suddenly.

"Wha-? I- what kind of a question is that?" I said, alarmed.

"Oh, come on, I always thought you had something to hide ….a secret romance…..a passionate affair and always, always hidden in the depths of-"

"Who're you talking to?" suddenly came in Ichigo, of all the people, and I hung up suddenly.

"I don't- w-what are you- no- I mean- NO ONE!" I stammered and hung up quickly.

Even so, I can't help wishing that Ichigo and I had something to hide.

If you get my drift.

Well….

I guess it is time I realized it. I mean, it's been one month.

I know it's not long enough for me to feel how I feel- but it's not exactly been a normal one month, has it?

Because I think-

I think I'm in love with Ichigo.

23th January, 2011 (Monday) 4.00 p.m.

Tatsuki's acting really weird today.

Actually, she's not thrown me one dirty look, which is weird.

Throughout homeroom today she looked like she was in her own world. The teacher had to tell her thrice to wake the hell up. She didn't look sick either. More like troubled.

I saw her collecting her stuff for the next class in the school corridors, and Grimmjow came upto her and made to kiss her, but she just sort of pushed him away and said "Not now, Ren- G-Grimmjow-" she corrected herself, muttering.

Don't think Grimmjow, or me or Renji, who was there with me, didn't notice how she accidentally used Renji's name.

Renji was amazed, and he looked so happy the whole day today.

He kept on going "She said my name…she said my name…she said my name…take that, Grimmjow!"

I sighed and punched him "Shut up!"

During P.E. Tatsuki missed all the passes I gave her in football.

For a change she actually didn't mind wanting to take my passes and playing together as a team, like she had been from the past so many days.

But we still lost 15-0.

Still, I'm glad she's gotten to her senses. I can see her apology anytime now.

Well, not really an apology- since she's not one to say sorry, but something like that.

Right now, Inoue and I are cleaning the classrooms.

Renji, Matsumoto, Toshirou, Uryu and Ichigo are also on cleaning duty- it's funny how we all get cleaning duty on the same day almost everytime, even when some of us are seniors, some juniors, and some in AP classes (only Uryu and Hitsugaya, actually- the rest of us are practically failing. Maybe except Inoue.)

After getting over with the cleaning, we're gonna go out for lunch and do the homework all together at my place (I'm planning on having Rangiku scrub the toilet for me- it still stinks).

Gods- what's wrong with Renji? He's out there staring at Tatsuki in the balcony which overlooks the school grounds (Tatsuki and her jock friends are practicing football. I don't know since when she started football, she was always into judo and tennis) instead of cleaning up- and now he's shouting at me to come up there as fast as I can and see something.

Now Inoue's also screaming her heads -

Oh shit.

A/N: Awesome ending, I know *sarcasm*

It was all I could do to make this chapter not seem like a filler. It's not.

Not much of a cliffhanger, either. Well, not that much.

I'm really, really sorry again for being so late in updating. I'll try on making it sooner.

Thankyou all for reading (:
