The lunch bell rang, telling us it was finally lunch time. I packed my stuff and stood up. Shakyuu, following me like always, jumped on one of my shoulders.

"Where're you gonna eat today?" he asked with a smile on his face. I ignored him. I walked up to the door, attempting to leave the classroom.

"Eh.. hello..." I turned around. The transfer student was standing behind me, trying to begin a conversation. Some of our classmates stared at us and began whispering. I did not say anything to him, I just waited for him to continue. At first he said nothing, but then he swallowed.

"Where are you going?"

"Outside," I just said. What was he up to? Why was he trying so hard to talk with me?

"Then.., can I come with you?" he asked. He was clearly nervous. What was he doing? Was he purposely embarrassing himself in front of the whole class? Shakyuu laughed.

"He's pretty straight forward, right? Now, what'll you do, Orihime?" If I wasn't the only one who could see or hear him, I probably would've killed him. I turned around from the transfer student and left the classroom, leaving him alone. I went outside to the court and set down at the first bench I saw. I grabbed my box lunch and started eating. I sat there for a while, enjoying the silence, when I heard a voice behind me.

"Ehm... hello." It was him again. Apparantly, he'd followed me all the way to the court.

"Hello," I said, and went back to eating.

"Can I sit here?" he asked me. What was his deal? Why wouldn't he leave me alone, like the others?

"If you really want to, then I won't stop you." He sat down, right beside me. I ignored him like I always did and continued eating. He grabbed a box lunch out of his bag and started eating too.

"Erm..."

"What's wrong?"

"Why won't you talk to me? I tried talking to you several times today, but you won't say anything to me. Why is that?"

"Are you saying I have to talk to you?"

"N-no, I mean, if you don't want to... But there's always... - I mean..." He really didn't know what to say.

"It's okay. Just say you want me to talk to you. I already noticed that a while ago anyway."

"Okay, I want you to talk to me, but it's not... I mean..." I sighed. He really didn't know what he wanted. I had finished eating, so I stood up.

"Hey, where are you going?"

"Back to class. The bell could ring any moment now."

"But we weren't done tal-"

"Let me be clear, we weren't enjoying ourselves in a conversation of some sort. Just now, it was just you bothering me and me trying to find out what you wanted from me. That's all there is to it. Also, if you don't have a good reason to bother me, then please stay away from me. I'd prefer that a lot more, too." I walked away.

"WAIT!"

I stopped. "What?"

"What's your name?"

I was silent for a moment. "Miura Orihime." And then I walked on to class.

"So in the end, you gave in to him, didn't you?" Shakyuu asked.

"What makes you think that?"

"Well, you did tell him your name."

"Because it's only natural for classmates to know each other's names. Besides, he would probably have found it out soon, even if I hadn't told him."

"...So she says..." he sighed.

"Shut up."

-Line break-

I was sitting in class. The teacher in front of us was explaining something about English grammar, and it all did not seem very interesting to me. I was just staring out of window. I didn't even notice the sound of the final bell ringing.

"Miura-san?" I looked up. The same face that had been annoying all day long.

"What?"

"The bell just rang. I wondered if you noticed."

"What kind of an idiot would miss the final bell?" I asked him.

"Are you sure?" Shakyuu asked me. I gave him an expression of anger and looked back at my new classmate.

"You're right, I'm sorry," he said while looking at the ground. I took that chance and walked away from him.

"Wait!" I stopped.

"What now?"

"Do you have any plans for today?"

I sighed. "Yes, I do." I wasn't lying. I really had plans. I had my usual Magical Girl duties, and after that I would have homework and more Magical Girl duties.

"How about tomorrow?"

"The same."

"Then how about-"

I turned around. "Just give up! I never have any free time, okay? So stop bothering me!" And I walked away from the classroom a little faster than usual. Shakyuu jumped from my shoulder to my head. I didn't even notice. I needed to get away from that stupid child and his stupid ideas about becoming friends.

"Orihime, you okay?" It sounded from above my head.

"Yes, I'm perfectly fine." I lowered my speed to a normal one, took a deep breath and left the school building.

-Line break-

"That's one..."

"Two..."

"Three..."

"Four..."

"Five..."

"Six..."

"And... seven!" Shakyuu added happily. "Seven demons in seven shots and seven seconds. Must be a new record!" I was still a little out of breath. Still trying to catch some breath, I walked up to the place where there had been demons a few seconds before I grabbed some of their eggs and restored my magical power back to the fullest. After that, I gave all the eggs to Shakyuu.

"We're done early today. I think those were the last," he said.

"Early? It's been dinner time already."

"You're right. We should head home." I changed back into my own clothes, or rather my school uniform, which I was stil wearing.

After walking a while, I walked past a basketball field. Someone was standing there, trying to get the ball in the basket. I took a closer look, and I recognized the boy from earlier today. He shot the ball at the basket, but it bounced back and he got it in his face.

"What's that idiot doing?" He stood up and rubbed his forehead. He grabbed the ball and tried again. And again. And again. It just wouldn't go in. I kept watching him from this side of the street. Then, the ball missed again, and it flew my way this time. I grabbed it from the ground, and saw the boy looking at me. He slowly waved. I threw him the ball and walked away.

-Line break-

I opened the door to my house. I took out my shoes and put my bag down.

"Orihime, is that you?!"

"Yes, it is!" I said. My father was awake already. I entered the living room. My father was sitting at the table, with some dinner in front of him. Dinner was also served at the seat in front of him. I sat down and started eating.

"Did anything happen today?" he asked.

"Not really."

"Did you have any tests?"

"No."

"Got any marks back?"

"No."

"Meet anyone new?"

"No." I decided to just say "no." My father was always too interested in my personal life. So what if I met someone who was only being annoying? I didn't feel like talking about him. My father looked at the clock.

"Oh, I'm running late. Sorry, honey, I have to go." He stood up and grabbed his jacket.

"I'm leaving!"

"Take care." The same goodbye as always. Always that same goodbye...

-Line break-

"Hey, when are we gonna go out again?" Shakyuu asked, probably for the fifth time. I was making my math homework, and he was sitting on my desk, playing with my compass. Even though I really needed it.

"You can't possibly be bored."

"But, it's been at least an hour since you started your homework! It's boring!"

"It's only been fifteen minutes."

"But-!"

"I'm almost ready. This is the last page, so be quiet please."

He groaned. Watching someone studying was clearly really boring. As if I didn't know that.

"Hey, Orihime, are you ready now?" I sighed.

"I'll finish it tonight, okay?"

"Hooray, finally!" he jumped up. I changed my ring into its true form as a Soul Gem and changed into a Magical Girl. The Soul Gem changed into a diamond attached to my bracelet. I opened the window and jumped out. Running over the roofs, I felt the wind blowing in my face. Shakyuu was sitting on my shoulder, enjoying the ride.

"I don't see any demons," I said after a while, hoping to be able to go home and finish my homework.

"What?! We're going back already?!" I sighed and jumped to the ground.

"Five more minutes."

"Yay!" For an Incubator, he seemed a little too happy about this. He was probably just forcing me to carry out my daily duties, but still. You can't fight something that's not there. After walking around a little longer I decided that we were done for the day.

"Come on, we're going home," I said as I walked in the direction of our house.

"Hey, haven't we been here earlier today?" Shakyuu suddenly said. I looked around. He was right. I had been here before. It was the basketball field where I had watched that new student. I walked over to the basket. His ball was still lying there. Then, I noticed some words had been written on the ball.

For Ryo.

Okay, that was chapter two! I hope everyone enjoyed. But, seriously, everyone, whose side are you on? Ryo's or Orihime's? I don't know... I think I'm neutral, but I was just wondering... Anyway, I'll try to upload the next chpater really fast, okay?
