When Karin is forced to try out for a school play, the all mighty captain gets dragged into it and Karin and Toshiro end up becoming the two main characters playing two love-infatuated teens. HitsuKarin

We're Just Pretending

Okay everyone, here comes another HitsuKarin. I'll be coming out with a IchigoXRukia soon. For any Shugo-Chara fans out there, an AmuXIkuto (Or something like that) will be coming too. I won't be writing any of those until I can finish my story, "Nothing Without you" though. If you have any suggestions for any of those two soon-to-come fanfics, just suggest them down in the review box. By the way, I need you to review. I know, it takes thirty seconds to write one, and that's a long time, but seriously, I put a lot of time and effort into these, and a couple reviews would be GREAT! Thank you everyone who put my stories into favorites!

I DO NOT OWN BLEACH! (just a by the way!) XD

Enjoy!

Chapter one

So shorty, we meet again?

I stood in the hall by my locker, trying to shove as many text books as I could into my shoulder-bag before first-period started. After I finished zipping up the zipper on my bag, I slammed my locker shut and began to lock my locker when Yuzu walked up.

"Karin-chan, you forgot your lunch at home." She said, handing me a brown paper bag. I looked down at my school bag and Yuzu followed my gaze. Seeing that it wasn't worth trying to cram a lunch into the over-stuffed shoulder bag, she gave me a tight smile, and then placed the lunch in her own bag. "You know Karin-chan, you don't have to take so many classes."

Yeah, right. I thought to myself. I had skipped two grades, but the school board thought it necessary that I take both middle school and high school classes at the same time, so I ended up staying in each class half of the time to get to all of my courses. But this kind of thing didn't go without reward, of course. They said that I could have an extra month of summer if I did the drama course during break. It would only last for three weeks. Two and a half weeks of practice, and half of a week of performances. I accepted thinking that it wouldn't be as bad as everyone suggested it be.

"Yuzu, you know I don't have a choice, and anyway, it's not a big deal," Yuzu strapped her bag into place over her shoulder, and I did the same. I staggered under the sheer weight of all of my text books being thrown over my shoulder. "besides, summer is in one week, so if I can get through this week, I'll be fine." Yuzu gave me a worried look and then waved me goodbye.

"See you after school, Karin-chan." I wished that we could see each other during lunch, but I had classes while the other middle school kids ate lunch. I ate lunch with the high-school kids, which wasn't nearly as fun as eating lunch with all of my friends.

"Bye, Yuzu." I watched her leave down the hall and turn a left into her first period class. I turned the opposite way and turned a few corners until I reached my first course, chemistry. Chemistry was my worst nightmare, and I wished that it was one of my very last classes. All of the equations gave me a headache and when the teacher talked about chemistry, it sounded like he was talking in four different languages all at the same time to me. I did my best to try and understand him, but zoning out was too easy. That's why I had a B+ in his class. As I walked into class, one of my high school friends, Kuzuki, waved me over to his little group.

"Hello Kurosaki-san!" he said, giving me an up-beat look. "Can you believe it? Summer is only a week away!" I gave him a smile and nodded.

"Yeah, I can't wait." I said, trying to sound neutral. The bell rang and Mr. Tozuro began to write something onto the board in bold, capital letters. Something hit me in the back of the head, making me swivel around. Kuzuki was leaned in behind me.

"did you hear?" he whispered.

"Hear what?" I asked, whispering back.

"There's a new transfer student coming. I heard he's like, super smart, like you Kurosaki." He gave me a nudge with his fist.

"I didn't know that, what's his name?" Mr. Tozuro cleared his throat at the front of the class.

"Mr. Kuzuki and Ms. Kurosaki, is there something you would like to share with us?" a wave of embarrassment swept over me, making heat spring into my cheeks.

"No sir." I said.

"No sir," Kuzuki mimicked.

"Okay then, we can get on with our class and introducing our newest student," The new student walked into the room from the hallway. All of the girls in the class sighed, all of the guys murmured, and I just gaped. "Hitsugaya Toshiro!" Toshiro plastered on a fake smile. He scanned his eyes over the class room and then stopped at me. His eyes grew wide.

"Karin?" he said, taking a step back and then rebounding after slamming into Mr. Tozuro's chest. Mr. Tozuro looked at me, and then back at the white haired teen standing in front of him.

"You two have been aquainted already, wonderful." I could tell by the tone in his voice that this came as a surprise to him. "well good, at least you already have some friends." He pointed next to me. "You'll be sitting here, next to ." I growled inwardly. Of all the places in the room, it just had to be here? I cursed to myself.

I put on a smile as dazzling as I could, but put a threatening look into my eyes. By all of the looks he was receiving from the girls in the class, I could tell that he would be quite popular with the ladies, and I didn't want anyone to get the wrong idea and become strangely jealous of me. Jealousy would ruin the picture I had built up in front of the high schoolers after a year and a half. Toshiro walked down the isle of desks, eyes following him all the way down the row until he sat into his seat.

"You're still short." I mocked. He looked my way and frowned.

"What?"

"Nothing." I said quickly, turning away from him and facing the front, suddenly very interested in the words scribbled on the board.
