Full Summary: Rukia Kuchiki is an infamous name at Karakura High. It resembles strong faith, weird behavior, and hidden powers and fear. Based on Stephen King's novel Carrie. Full summary inside. IchiXRuki.
Note: Don't expect this to be exactly like the book. I'm planning on making a completly different ending and a lot of details will be changed, but the story plot still follows Carrie's story line. So don't worry. :)
Also, I'm already planning for Renji to be the "not-so-nice-guy", but I love him! :D Actually, everyone's kind of like that in this story, except for Ichigo and Tatsuki. So, don't be offended if your favorite characters aren't on their best behaviors.
Also, if you're all wondering, Ryö Kunieda is the track runner from Ichigo's class. I chose her to take the place of Chris because I didn't really want to use a soul reaper, and she looks kind of mean. I also chose her because Renji's playing Billy Nolan's part and I think they'd look pretty cute together.
Sorry for the long Author's Note, I'll shut up now, so please enjoy! ;D
Rukia's POV:
I navigated my way through the halls, avoiding eye contact with any of the other students. They didn't like me very much. They never have. I've never gotten along with anyone, I've never had a single friend in my life.
That is, except for God. Sister says I don't need friends when I've got God, and of course I do. With out Him, I'd be all alone.
I sighed. That's why no one liked me. They thought I was too religious. I used to take my Bible with to school everyday, like Sister said I should. In the first grade I pulled my Bible out during recess and began to read, quoting God's word out loud. All of the kids started to laugh at me and through stuff at me. That's when it happened. That's when-
"Oof!" I muttered, dropping my books. Hisagi Shuuhei had purposely bumped into me and was laughing while walking away. He was quickly joined by groups of people standing along the lockers.
I stared down at my books, too embarrised to meet anyone's gaze, and still disoriented.
"Aren't you gonna pick up your books, Rukia?" said Ryö Kunieda mockingly. Ryö hated me the most, it was obvious. You could see her hate for me in her dark brown eyes.
I knelt down, tripping on my loose shoe string, and fell to my knees. This caused the laughter to gain volume.
Ryö put her hands on her hips, smiling down at me darkly. "Having trouble?"
I'm sure my face was bright red by now. I was still struggling to collect all the papers that fell out of my chemistry folder when I heard his voice.
"Leave her alone, Ryö. As if you've never tripped before," Kurosaki said, kneeling down next to me. He began picking up the papers I was too distracted to notice.
I heard Ryö grunt disaprovingly. Tatsuki Arisawa, Kurosaki-kun's best closest friend, laughed at Kunieda-kun's reaction.
As I reached for my chemistry book Ichigo did the same, his hand brushing mine before he politely snatched the book away from me. He smiled as we both stood, my face growind more red. Kurosaki handed me the book, his smile widening.
"Ignore Ryö. She can be pretty bitchy. But I'm sure you know about that."
I laughed, unable to help myself. I quickly forced the smile away, returning my gaze to the floor. "Thank you, Kurosaki...," I stated, beginning to walk away.
He grabbed my arm and stopped me. "It's Ichigo. And no problem," he responded, his pleasant smile still on his face.
"Uh...right. Ichigo," I finished, carefully pulling my arm away before walking away quickly. As I continued down the hall, I heard the group burst into laughter. This would have normally upset me, but then I heard Kuro- I mean Ichigo scolding them angrily. I couldn't stop the smile that graced my lips.
Tatsuki's POV:
I walked into the cafeteria, looking around for my usual table. As I spotted the back of Ichigo's bright head and started toward him, Ryö stood from her table and rushed over to me.
"Hey Tatsuki. I forgot to ask you, are you coming to my party after the prom next weekend?" she asked, her smile emitting self-righteousness. It always did.
"Uh...you're having a party?" I asked.
"Yeah. I was pretty upset that I couldn't spend senior prom with Renji, so he suggested that I throw an after party," she answered, her smile widening. She leaned back against the wall of the cafeteria, folding her arm.
"Wait, Renji as in Renji Abarai?" I questioned, laughing and leaning against the wall next to her. "Since when do you date drop outs?"
This earned a glare. "Shut up. Renji's great," he responded, starring off.
I decided to change the subject, which was obviously a touchy one. "So, what was with Ichigo earlier today? Since when does he care about Rukia Kuchiki?" I asked, gaining her attention again.
"I know! He was being so annoying. It's not like she's not used to it by now," Ryö started, looking away again. A glare crossed her features and I could see the strong hate in her gaze. True hate, as if Rukia had killed her mother or something. Ryö always looked like this when someone mentioned Rukia Kuchiki, but no one knew what her deal was.
"I'm so sick of that bitch," Ryö mummbled, her glare growing. "Everyone hates her, she knows that. Does she really think that just because one person's nice to her one time that she has a right to laugh at me? As if I'm the loser. And it's her fault no one likes her. She spats her religious bull at everyone. God, I hate her."
"Uh, yeah...," I started, listening but still confused.
From the corner of my eye I saw Ichigo stand and wave to me. "Tatsuki! What are you doing? Get over here!"
"Well,...I gotta go. Ichigo's waiting. I'm not sure if I can make your party, but I'll let you know. I'm not even sure I'm going to the prom, so I'll talk to you later. See ya, Ryö!" I stated, waving and heading toward our spot.
"What was that about?" Ichigo asked, half paying attention.
"Well,...I'm not sure. A lot of crap," I said.
"Hm," he responded, looking away, already a part of a different conversation.
`End of chapter one! I'm surprised I got it done, this is the beginning of a week of finals, so don't expect much soon. Maybe a new chapter this weekend, but I'm not promising! :D
Also, I know there hasn't been much like the book or movie yet, but I promise it will soon. Just be patient with me! :P
Please review! :3
