// Flowers Bloom Forever //

Kira-kun? Abarai-kun? I was wondering--if you two had time, would you mind coming over later today? Papa's dog--Arashi, I'm pretty sure you guys know about him--died, and Papa's not going to be home from his business trip until tuesday. He said to go ahead and bury Arashi, but Mama won't touch him and I dont want to just give the body away to the shelter. So, will you guys help me out?

( Private; hackable by Kira and Renji. )

The elections are underway and I can't wait for the results! Good luck to everyone--I know the student body will make the best choice for all of us!

And, Ichimaru-sensei, I have every assignment finished and I'm triple-checking it; would it be okay for me to run in during lunch to have you give them a look-over?

I've nominated myself for Student Council Secretary! .. I really hope that wasn't rude of me, but I'm really excited about running. I need to organize my first speech and get posters done--Kira, Renji, uhm, anyone want to help me with that?--and go over the duties expected of me and how I'll perfect each one.

t's the weekend! I'm so excited; we're going to see my Uncle tonight and I'll be coming back tommorow morning. He works as a veterinarian, and there's always new animals every time I go to see him. He has two dogs, himself; puppies, the last time I saw them, but I'm not sure how big they've gotten since then! I can't wait!

A notebook probably shouldn't be used as a journal, but I can't find Kira or Renji anywhere, and I really need to let off some steam. I'll probably throw these pages away once we make it back home, but for now this should do.

We're stuck out in the middle of nowhere. The bus trip was nice enough -- I mean, I did get to sit with Aizen-sensei, so I'm certainly not complaining -- but then, out of the blue, there's a small explosion and before I know it I'm stuck sitting under a tree and waiting for Aizen-sensei to come back.

Am I really that dependant on him? I mean.. I--

this is really hard to write--I hope no one's watching--

I mean--

I love him. So, it's not hard to feel more relaxed around him than some of the other teachers. I know I can trust him and that he's both responsible and smart, and so I just know that, with him here, nothing will hurt me. Maybe that's why I rely on him so much. It's not a bad thing, I don't think.

I wonder .. does he depend on me for anything?

I better go. Some of the kids are crowding around.

I wonder how long we'll be here?

Posture. Stance. Wrist position.

Keep it strong; power in the wrists and upper arms for full support on the swing.

Note to self: Purchase new box of water bottles! A.S.A.P.!

I'm super excited about the field trip coming up! It's been a while since I've been to a museum, and I always end up having so much fun when I go. Last time I went was back in junior high, and a dinosaur exhibit had opened. There were both animatronic replicas and authentic, reconstructed skeletons, as well as representations of habitats and a recreation of a dinoaur's scales for visitors to touch.

The Tyrannosaurus Rex had it's very own exhibit, where an animatronic T-Rex shifted about a small area (it was huge) and roared at the visitors. A lot of the younger students thought it was horrifying, but I wasn't scared.

.. ah, I babble too much! Ah, does anyone know what else we should bring for the trip? I have the essentials, as well as a notepad, pencils, some money and a water bottle with lunch.

There was a fire! (oh, well, everyone knew that, but--) No one got hurt, did they!? I wonder what kind of idiot who would want to set a place as hazardous as the chemistry lab on fire.

I had lots of fun at the dance, even though the end of the night was full of confusion. Does anyone know exactly who it was that spiked the punch?

Ah--oh! Just in case anyone forgot, we still have tennis practice next week! I think Ichimaru-sensei said something about doubles, but I'm not sure just yet.

The dance was postponed or something, but Kira-kun -- are we still on for the dance? I still have my dress and everything!

There's a show coming in to town soon - a four-man comedy group that I want to go check out. I'm not quite sure of the name, though.. but I definitely do want to check them out! I heard they were great, and they've done musicals individually and together, as well. So if I have the money, I'm getting tickets~! Does anyone want to come with me?

Oh! When is the next study group? I need help with this home work for Ichimaru-sensei's class.. if anything, I could ask Shirou-chan.

Shirou-chan! Are you open for homework help sometime soon?

I'm sorry! It's been so long since I've managed to post, but school has absolutely taken over lately. Still, I should be posting more often now, so no worries!

Uhm, we went to see Pirates of the Carribean 2 yesterday -- my family and I, rather -- and I really liked it! There were a few parts that were kind of gross, but given the plot of the film, it could have been worse! There were two moments that made me jump too. Has anyone else seen it? I want to talk about it with someone, but I don't want to spoil anything!

Tennis is coming alone fine~ With Ichimaru-sensei working us to the bone, we're going to be a pretty hard team to beat when tournament season rolls around. Kira-kun, you and I should have a match sometime soon! What do you think? ♥

Saturdays are always so fun~

Sometimes, I wonder whether you have to actually know how to dance to go to a dance. Not that I don't know, but -- I'm not sure about all the new dances coming up, and I sure don't want to make Kira-kun feel ucomfortable by being so out of the loop. I should've told him before, but I never thought to. Kind of dumb, now that I think about it. I'm sorry, Kira-kun!

My dress is hanging on the door of the closet a few feet away. It's actually really pretty, though the color itself is just a bit loud (but quite thankfully not blinding), but I thought it would fit for such an occasion. I hope it gets your seal of approval, though, Ayasegawa-kun!

Kira-kun, do you want to meet at school for the dance? And if so, what time? My parents said they're fine for dropping me off and picking me up.

See you guys at the dance!

Aa.. about this new theme idea. Uhm. I don't think my dress will go well with it.

Tennis practices are coming along well. I hope we can go into doubles soon so we can pair off and see how well we all work in teams. I think Kuchiki-chan and Soi Fong would make a pretty deadly match on the court!

Time to pack up for classes~!

( Private. )

Ichimaru-sensei -- when is the next tennis practice? I have a new shot that I want to show you for approval.

Also, Kira-kun, could you help me set up at the game? We have to do our best and cheer Abarai-kun on!

( Private to Self. )

I'm sorry for not updating so much! I've been so busy with school, it's almost hard to keep track of anything else. Matsumoto-sensei's party was .. interesting, though, so I'm glad I went!

Apparently there's a dance coming up! Aa, since it's better for someone to go with a date, (cheaper for both!) hmm..

I'd rather go with a group.. but there's no option for that. Renji-kun isn't one for dances or dates, .. Kira-kun might.. Shirou-chan would look at me funny!

Kira-kun, do you have a date for the dance?

If not, would you like to go with me? ^_^

.. time to go get ready! Byebye!

( Private to Self. )

It's done! I'm so happy~ We finished the costume yesterday night - accesories, jewelry, everything -- and I couldn't be more pleased with it! I have no idea what I would've done if Mama weren't there to help me out, so, thanks Mama!! But I can't tell you guys anything more about my costume, since it's a surprise. :D

Sewing is really fun. If I have time, I think I might join the club. Captain Ishida runs it, I hear, so I bet it's really interesting!

Aa, Have to go! Another day, another eight hours (and more) at school~! Aizen-sensei, did you want for me to come in and do that filing today?

I packed a little too much lunch today! Does anyone want to share?

Abarai-kun! Kira-kun! Let's do something tommorow night if you're free! I hear that now movie, uhm.. Silent Hill, right? That just opened! Let's go see it!

[ ooc: if you two are free for it, I'll start up a thread on the main comm tommorow. I'll be at a shoot until 9 though. ;-; ]

I'm really happy! Yesterday I understood everything that Ichimaru-sensei was explaining thanks to the notes Shirou gave me and all of the studying I've been doing. [Thanks, Shirou-chan!] I'm working really hard in that class; I mean, I do in every class, but I've been studying more and asking more questions so that I do well. I may not be a straight-A student [yet!] but I'll do my best!

I can't wait for practice today! Everyone on the team seems so naturally skilled, so come to our first game whenever that is everyone! [That means you, Abarai-kun!]

My costume for Matsumoto-sensei's party is coming along pretty well. Mama and I found the perfect fabric for it; it's so soft and flows really well. I can't wait to finish it!

( Private to Self. )

.. Abarai-kun..! Kira-kun..! Let's get together and go out sometime! I miss being all together!

.. And Hitsugaya-kun, I'm bringing watermelon slices tommorow! Do you want me to pack a few extra for you?

Matsumoto-sensei is throwing a costume party! I really want to try one costume.. but I don't know if I'll be done with it by the time of the party. I can ask Mama to help though; she's wonderful with sewing. Maybe Captain Ishida would be willing to give me a few pointers, too!

Wah! So much homework lately! Oh well, it's expected; we started late, so we'd definitely have more work than normal!

Time ot get to it! Bye-bye!

..Who nominated me for Miss KHS..? @_@

I saw Kira-kun yesterday and spent time with him at the mall! We caught a little dinner and went to see a movie, and we were able to catch up a little. I haven't seen him since last month!!

Oh! And today I'm going to prepare Sado-san's late-birthday obentou! n_n I hope he likes it!

( Private. )

Aa! I have loads of homework to finish by tommorow! Shirou-chan, come over and help me~! D:

I'm really enjoying art class! Shiba-sensei comes up with some interesting ideas for subjects to draw, and I sort of want to color the sketch I drew for our last assignment, but I'm scared of messing it up. ( Private. )

I was finally able to tutor with Shirou-chan, and it turns out that I got such a low grade on my test because of little things I forgot and silly mistakes. I really need to pay more attention in math - it's not my strongest subject, I know, but I don't want to fail because of dumb mistakes I make. So from now on, I'm checking over my paper three times before I even think of handing it in!

Tennis is coming along well now that we have Captain Ishida back! I'm glad we'll all be able to play as a team now. Maybe we'll even make district championships -- or even better -- countrywide! I'm so excited!

Soi-san made the cheer squad, so she wont be able to come with me to the game since she'll be down on the court. Mizuho, do you still want to come with me? Anyone else is also welcome to come! I know I'm dragging Shirou-chan along!

Aaa! I have to go get ready for school! Bye!

Big news! I've decided to run for Student Council Secretary. I'm actually really good with paperwork and organization, and I want to get more involved with Karakura, so this is a great way to. Sorry I haven't prepared a very big speech just yet, but, I've been debating over this for a while and finally decided on it today.

Tutoring with Aizen-sensei was nice, though I missed study group because of Kojima-kun's party for Asano-san. ( Actually.. I think we -all- missed study group because of that. 9.9; ) But that was fun either way, so I'm glad I went! Asano-san's face when we all surprised him was priceless! And I was able to meet some new people, including Inoue-san!

So, Mizuho, Soi Fong, are you two still up to going to the game with me? I need to cheer on Renji! 'Cause he gets all weird when no one cheers for him. Oh, unless Soi-san is cheerleading.

Shiro-chan! You should come, too! :D And Sado-san!

Homework! Joy!
