I shield my eyes from the blinding sun that seeks out of the window blinds. As I try to regain focus, I kicked off the toasty covers and dragged myself to grab my school uniform from my crammed up closet. As I fuss with the clothes and started putting on my shoes I look up the time on my wall and knew immediately that I was late for school.
Without thinking I put on my clothes as fast as I could, took out some of my red bean paste, and ran outside my house to the schools gates. I looked for any signs of hall monitors down the hall and quickly found my classroom. As I reached for the doorknob I stopped shortly.
A familiar pulse surged throughout my body and knew immediatly who it was. Only one person who can make me do such a thing and that person was, Ulquiorra.
I gasped and placed my hand on my heart, feeling it beat rapidly. I peeked through the doors window and felt myself flutter with such warm as soon as my eyes spot him.
His green eyes seemed to have gleamed as he looked out the window, holding one book in hand. Noticing how different he looks with his school uniform, it makes my heart stop.
Chills ran down my back as I remembered the day he spoke to me like some stranger. I grabbed hold of my arms to prevent the goose bumps from coming, and tried to pull back the tears that were forming behind my eyelids. I thought for awhile if I should just leave, but decided against it.
I took deep breathes to try to redeem myself then slowly turned the knob and casually walked inside.
The teacher stopped the lesson and everyone’s eyes turned toward me. I looked down to hide my ferocious, red face and tried to think of an excuse of my tardiness.
"Inoue Orihime, why are you tardy?" the teacher glares at me like snake's eyes rying to catch its pray.
I rubbed the back of my head and laughed, "Oh it seems that I didn't set up my alarm." I catch a glimpse at the teacher shaking her head and getting a form from inside her desk.
"Here, fill out these," she said as she handed the tardy forms over to me, "next time, try not to be late or I'll be forced to take you to the principal’s office."
I nodded and dragged my feet to my desk; all eyes on me as I take a seat. I peeked at Ichigo who looked confused, to Uryu who seems to be relieved that I’m safely here, to catching Ulquiorra's glorious eyes watching me.
My heart began to skip around as our eyes meet each other. My mind seems to be cloudy and my hands began to sweat wishing for this not to end.
But my wish came too late, for the bound that grew between us was broken as he turned around to read his black covered book. I signed sadly knowing that it was probably only me that thought that something was going on between us.
The teacher began her lesson but I wasn't listening. My mind once again thought about the sadness of being alone without Ulquiorra and the sadness of living without him. I knew that one day I’ll hurt my dearest friends for trying to defend Ulquiorra if that day ever occurs; I will one day be truly being called a traitor among my precious friends. Though I pray that day won’t come soon, right now, I just want to be able to protect everyone from each other and try to uncover Ulquiorra's where abouts.
Sometimes it bothers me how he forgotten about me and that I was the one that haven’t forgotten about him. Though it hard to imagine how he end up here at school, I just thought of the pain of not being able to even communicate to him.
As the bell rings, everyone gets up and leaves the classroom. I gather my belongings and was about to take a peek at Ulquiorra, somebody got in my way.
"Inoue Orihime, I'll be taking that form from you please." The teacher declared as she extended her hand as I pass her the papers. I put some stuff into my backpack and was about to leave till the teacher interrupted me yet again, “where do you think you’re going young lady?”
“Ummm, class?” I replied.
“Yes, it seems you should be going, so after school you’re going to be doing a 50 math quiz for a makeup for your tardiness,” the teacher ordered. I was about to judge but just kept my mouth shut, instead I grabbed my stuff and left to the other classroom without making eye contact to any of my friends whom I felt I betrayed too.

**************
I’ve finished and really exhausted! Who knew math can be so hard?! As I gather my stuff from my desk, I gazed at the clock high above the teacher’s desk and was surprised by the time.
11:14 a.m.
I covered my mouth as I lay a deep yawn while I gathered my things and headed outside. I stopped in front of the schools medal, glass doors and noticed rain pouring outside. Just my luck, I regarded sadly. I reached into my backpack for my sweater but found nothing. I groaned angrily and just grabbed my umbrella from the side of my backpack and walked toward the cold, rainy night.
I shivered from the cold as I pass buildings and cross deep, muddy puddles from the sidewalk. As I put the umbrella way over my head, a strong wind current blew my way that almost took the umbrella with it! I gripped the umbrella tighter and decided to take the shortcut to my apartment house. I past alleys and buildings and then made my way toward to the empty park.
More rain seemed to have poured down because I can’t even see 10 meters in front of me anymore! Although it doesn’t bother me walking down the lonely path, but what did bother me was the squeaking , racket the swing sets were making every time a breeze shows up! I picked up my school uniforms collar and forced myself to move forward. As I thought of things to keep me occupied, my mind didn’t go very far when I spot something up front. I panic and then decided to go back, but just when turned around, suddenly something grabbed my shoulder!
I open my mouth to scream but nothing came out but air. I had no choice to use my Shun Shun Rikka against the imposter. I quickly turned and yelled, “Koten Zansh-“
“What are you doing?” Ulquiorra asked.
My heart stops as Ulquiorra’s glorious, wet body comes into view. My face turns red and its seems I’ve lost strength from holding the umbrella, because before I knew it Ulquiorra bends down to pick it up for me. Ulquiorra hands the umbrella to me, but I didn’t take it, it’s more like I couldn’t take it; I have no control over my body!
“Are you going to take it?” Ulquiorra says impatiently, but I didn’t answer; I can't feel my heart beat anymore. “You just get weirder by the second,” Ulquiorra tosses the umbrella to my side and turns to walk the other way when suddenly I blurt out, “Don’t leave!”
Ulquiorra stops, to turning toward me confused. My face turns red as soon as my words comes rushing through my head. “W-what I mean is that I lost my way home and can’t seem to find my way back,” I laugh, looking down to avoid his courageous, cute face of his, “and I’m scared when I’m alone and…” I trail off and wait for his reply.
I squirm as I feel Ulquiorra’s sharp, green eyes rake over me.
Finally he gives up and signs under his breath, “Where do you live?” My head snaps up to see if he was actually serious or if he was just joking. My face blushes when I realize that’s he’s dead serious.
