CHAPTER 1:- This Feeling?

It was another usual day at the school. Teacher blabbering on about the topic, some of the students were listening and some were asleep and some don't bother to listen at all. Then there is Ichigo Kurosaki who just watches out of the window out of boredom since he could just read all of that stuff later and finish it off. As he looks out of the window he observes the cherry blossom trees placed on the school grounds and he is fixated on the falling leaves as they make the scenery much more prettier.

As he looks out of the window there are another pair of eyes on him. Its the lovely bread girl With her orange colored matching her bubbly and outgoing personality. As always she tends to be very optimistic and appears very friendly which is why Tatsuki tends to be very protective of her. Her bubbly personality shines every time she talks and she is a weakness of so many boys in the school which she doesn't even notice herself as she is very innocent and dense however that doesn't mean she isn't intelligent. She is in fact one of the top students in the class as well as the whole school so she isn't someone to be underestimated when it comes to academics.

She wonders what's going on in his mind or what is he really thinking of at this moment since she feels some sort of attachment to Ichigo for some odd reason since they have become friends. Although Tatsuki and Ichigo are her best friends she feels different for Ichigo whenever he is around she tends to have this certain spike in her heartbeats and it oddly feels good to her however she keeps on ignoring these feelings since she thinks to herself that these might be just some weird phase that will pass over and go away as time passes on however it doesn't and it has been a few months since these feelings took over her heart and she wonders why. Why do these feelings take her heart? What is it about Ichigo that makes her feel that way?

As more time passes on the more she wants to know the answers to these questions. Suddenly she was snapped out of her thoughts as the bell rang indicating that the period has finally ended as well as the school day so they are free to leave to their homes. Ichigo stands up from his chair and stretches a bit finally relieved after his stiffness goes away bringing relaxation to his muscles. The teacher dismisses them after giving them a homework which is met with dismissive sighs as usual and he leaves the classroom satisfied after hearing their moans of displeasure.

Ichigo sighs and walks out of the classroom " Sigh another boring day huh and another homework that i have to leave pending great " as he lunges his bag over his shoulders and walks with the other hand in his pocket the other gingerhead decides to catch up and strike up a conversation " Hey Ichigo wait! "

" Oh hello Orihime what's up " he smiles as he waves at her she finally catches up to him and huffs but smiles back " Hello ".

" So what have you been upto lately"

" Oh nothing much just the usual you know go home and do my homework and go to sleep " she replies back

' Just the usual huh well you are smart after all orihime no wonder you can do your homework easily " she chuckles at his compliment. " Well even you are also smart Kurosaki kun so don't underestimate yourself all right".

" But not as much as you that's for sure ". They were making their way down the road walking side by side as the sun hives off a yellow tint which makes the scenery more relaxing. " Oh by the way I made some pancakes today would you like some? " she pulls out a box of pancakes from inside her bag and holds it politely with a smile.

" Sure " he gently takes the pancake out of the box and eats it " Wow these are delicious thanks! ".

She blushes slightly due to her shy nature " Oh no need to say that Kurosaki kun you can always ask me for any food you want ok" she says giggling nervously while Ichigo enjoys the taste of his pancakes.

Orihime wasn't really a good cook which she was very insecure of so one day she approached Ikumi to teach her about cooking after which she has gotten better after a few months of practice eventually. In actuality she wanted to be satisfied knowing that her friends enjoy her cooking which is why she made her goal to become good but deep down it was specifically for Ichigo which she doesn't want to admit. She wants to be praised for her cooking and wants to hear it from him which is why she felt extremely good inside when he complemented her pancakes.

" Wow did you make this by yourself? " He asked out of curiosity.

" Oh actually ummm it was miss Ikumi who taught me how to make it "

" Huh so she still has that chef in her despite being old " Orihime chuckles at his response.

" Even if you get old you won't forget them you know " she says while she smiles.

" Oh looks like we are at your home huh so I guess this is a goodbye for today "

" Oh yeah right... so umm goodbye see you tomorrow at school Kurosaki kun " she waves at him with a brief sadness behind her eyes as he walks away. She enjoyed their time together but unfortunately it was short lived. She goes enters her home and sets her bag aside before lying on the couch, she was alone again. She appears to be a very cheerful and happy person but deep inside she always feels lonely at her home which is why she always hangs out with Tatsuki but it seems Tatsuki has gone off somewhere with her family at a trip so she wasn't available currently.

She sighs and tries to let it go out of her mind and wants to occupy herself with work. The rest of the day goes by with Orihime doing her chores, cooking, eating, doing homework and finally going to sleep in this empty lonely and peaceful house. The next day the bright light of the sun scatters through her window creating a beautiful illusion inside her room with a yellow tint. As it hits her face her eyes wince in pain as it stings her eyes, she slowly gets up and sighs as she has another day of school on one hand she was lazy but on the other hand she was excited to meet her friends again"

As Orihime lived alone she didn't have any idea about using cosmetics which was taught by Tatsuki which is funny since she is very tomboyish but also has some feminine attributes as well and Orihime liked that about Tatsuki. She admired Tatsuki's nonchalance towards how others percieve her or judge her. She doesn't care about what others think and how feminine she is. She does what she wants to and thats why she is comfortable around her and feel glad to have her as a friend.

Orihime makes her way to the school with her orange hair flowing in the wind just as other students are making their way over. However she was just waiting for this day to be over so they can get to the weekend her favorite days like everyone else where she could enjoy her hobbies and hang out with her friends. She snaps out of her thoughts as she sees a familiar orange head in the front a few metres away and immediately cracks a smile while heading over.

" Good morning Kurosaki Kun" returned with a smile by him " Oh Good morning Orihime how are you doing?"

" Oh just like usual a bit dumped down for school but thanks to Tatsuki and others they make it fun"

" Yeah thanks to them I never get much bored and also have some detention buddies as well" he smirks remembering all the time he and keigo as well as Chad got detention for getting into fights.

" Oh by the way I haven't seen Chad these last few days is he ok?" She asks Ichigo.

" Oh yeah he is fine he todl that his family was going to his homeland for a few days so thats why he took a leave"

" Oh i see that makes sense anyways it looks like we reached it"

they both look at the gate as they head in through the entrance greeted by Tatsuki, Keigo and Mizuiro.

" Hey gingerhead and good morning Orihime how are you" Tatsuki greets them.

" Hey whats with the change in tone between me and her huh" Ichigo looks slightly offended

" Oh hello my gingerheaded queen~" Keigo floats due to his perv power and is of course smacked down by Tatsuki's fists of destruction " HEY DON'T YOU GET YOUR DIRTY PAWS ON ORIHIME LIKE THAT "

" Good morning everyone" the bread girl greets everyone while smiling looking forward to the day.
