Ichigo sat in class that next day. He couldn’t focus not once while he was there. He hadn’t even slept last night because of what had happened. Maya…what would happen to her now? What was he thinking when he did what he did? And what was going to happen now. Ichigo sighed heavily turning to face the classroom door. His eyes widened when he saw Maya stepping through that door as the teacher went to meet her. He quickly turned his head to the window, pretending not to even notice her. As the teacher was handing Maya some papers, she couldn’t help but look over at Ichigo. He hadn’t even notice her coming in…Maya looked down as the teacher said something to her, but Maya wasn’t really listening. She just nodded and left, looking back at Ichigo once last time before sighing sadly and walking away. Ichigo looked back at the door and sighed. Rukia looked over to Ichigo with concern, before looking back at the door.
“ Hey. Are you alright?”
“ Huh? Oh…yeah…”
Ichigo looked back down at his book, not in any mood to talk to Rukia. She sighed and shrugged her shoulders, looking back down at her book as well.
Maya entered back into her classroom and sat at her desk, which was right next to Uyru. She sat back down and laid her head on her desk. She didn’t feel like paying attention anymore, she had too much on her mind at the moment. Uyru looked over from his book and studied Maya carefully. He dipped his head some to the side and whispered to her softly.
“ Ms. Hikura…is everything alright?”
Maya looked up then looked at Uyru. She didn’t want to tell him that she was fine, she would be lying, but she didn’t want to get him involved in something that didn’t concerned him. She forced herself to smile and push back forming tears in her eyes.
“ I’m ok…and please call me Maya. I’ve been here long enough for you to not address me as “ Ms. Hikura”. It’s fine if you call me by my first-“
“ Did something happen yesterday?”
Maya paused for a moment. She went quiet and looked down some. He hit a nerve somewhere…and Maya felt it. It was hurting like crazy. She sighed some and looked back up at him, the tears on the brim of her eyes. She forced another smile to him.
“ Yes…but I’m alright. Really…”
Uyru could see that this was upsetting her a great deal and there for left it alone and said nothing more about it. Though he peered at her from the corner of his eye to see that a few tears had fallen from her eyes. The moment the bell rang Maya was up and out of the class. Uyru was not too far behind her. He didn’t know why, but he was concerned. He didn’t like seeing women crying…it didn’t settle to well with him. As he followed her he noticed that Ichigo and the others were coming close. He looked back at Maya slowing down a bit; trying not to make it a bit too obvious that he was concerned for her.
Maya was walking fast, so fast that she lost grip on her bag and dropped it. She stopped and knelt down to pick it up. Keigo was the first the round the corner, along with Mizzuro, Chad and finally Ichigo. Maya stood up quickly and without looking up at any of them, walked by them silently…Ichigo glanced to see Maya as she walked past him. He reached out to grab a hold of her arm, but she slipped past him too fast. He looked back as he kept walking, watching her hurry off somewhere as they approached Uyru.
Ichigo lay on the rooftop on his back. Looking up into the sky. He sighed heavily, not paying attention to what was going on between the others. He couldn’t stop thinking about Maya then…he was worried about her. How she was feeling right now…
The door opened and Ichigo sat up almost immediately, only to find that it was just Uyru who had come back with their drinks. Ichigo frowned some and looked away as Uyru walked over to him to give him his drink.
“ Don’t make it so obvious that you’re sulking over Maya…”
Ichigo looked up at Uyru who had taken a seat next to him. He half-glared and half wondered at him as he sat down. Ichigo looked away again to the side.
“ I wasn’t expecting her to be her anyway…”
“ You’re an idiot, you know that?”
“ What’s with the name calling all of the sudden?!”
“ As if you didn’t see the way Maya looked just a few moments ago…”
“ Actually…I didn’t. And how would you know? You didn’t see her either…”
“ On the contrary…I just had a class with her. She’s not in such a good mood.”
“ What do you mean by that?”
“ Maybe this will give you a clue: She had tears running down her cheeks before the bell rang for lunch. So what does that tell you?”
Ichigo paused for a moment. He didn’t know what to say. What could he say? She was crying…and it was his fault. Ichigo looked away from Uyru then without saying anything more. Uyru just sighed and began eating his lunch.
It was the last class of the day. Ichigo had the same class as Maya…and they sat right next to each other. He sighed as he waited patiently for her to arrive. Another girl, who was obviously not Maya came in and went to the teacher’s desk. She began talking to the teacher quietly, Ichigo couldn’t hear a thing. When she left the teacher went to the board once again and began writing some things down. Ichigo made his way over to the group of girls who were sitting right in front of the conversation. They looked to him, surprised a little.
“ Hey did you guys happen to catch what they were talking about?”
“ Oh she came to tell the teacher that Maya wasn’t feeling too well and that she was in the nurse’s office.”
“ Thanks”
He didn’t wait for them to answer. Now he felt bad, really bad. He knew she wasn’t sick, that she was just trying not to see him at the moment. He sighed heavily sitting back in his seat as the teacher began their lesson.
The bell rang not too long after and everyone was up and out of the class. Ichigo had gone to the nurse’s office, but found no Maya. He then went outside and started heading for home when he saw the back of Maya’s head. He blinked and hurried over to her.
“ Hey…Maya…”
Maya, startled, turned around to find that it was only Ichigo that had stopped her. She didn’t look at him for too long; she started feeling bad again. She adverted her eyes to the side, avoiding the concern in his eyes.
“ Oh…Hey Ichigo…”
There was an awkward silence between the two of them as they stood there. Ichigo looked away from Maya for a moment, then looked back up at her to find that she had started walking away once again, not saying anything. He quickly followed after her. He reached out once again and gently grabbed her wrist. She stopped, but didn’t look back at him. Ichigo mustarded up the bit of courage that sat in his heart.
“ Listen…Maya…Can we talk? I mean…about…you know…what happened?”
“ What is there to talk about? I mean…you didn’t mean it…”
“ Maya…”
Maya turned around and looked at Ichigo, but it was a different look. She was smiling at him for some reason and it completely threw Ichigo off guard. Maya placed a piece of her hair behind her ear and smiled nervously.
“ What I mean is…you were just caught up is all. It’s not like that kiss meant anything…right?”
Ichigo blinked for a moment before he thought about it. He smiled and nodded his head to in a nervous way.
“ Yeah…you’re right…just caught up in the moment I guess.”
“Right…didn’t mean a thing”
“ Yup not a thing…”
The silence fell upon them once again. They shifted nervously before Ichigo spoke up once again.
“ Hey…since it’s still a little early in the day…do you want to grab a bite to eat or something? I don’t feel like going home and pretty much be stuck with my dad. What do you say?”
“ Sure. I’d love to come”
