Chapter one: All around me are familiar faces.
Soul had slept in, again. His mouth drooling. I opened his door, slowly. I was about to nag for him to get up, as usual, but this time, i didn't. I was silent. I gave a little side-smile, as i wondered what he could be dreaming about. A million things. She almost decided not to wake him. "Soul, get up. You're going to be late again!" I say, but chose not to yell it this time. He sat up instantly, a little alarmed. "Heh...wha?!" He said, as if he wasn't used to it. "You'll be late!" I said, a little sharper, and exhaled deeply, as I exited the room, and shut his door behind me.
"Man, what's up with her?" Soul mumbled, as he scratched his head, and got out of bed. He stripped down most of his clothes, and before he got redressed, he examined the scar that was spread across his chest/stomach. He thought about how uncool he thinks it is that i blame myself for it, but slips on his school clothes, before the thought got any deeper. He didn't notice how tired he really was, till he realized he had to drag his own body out of his room. "Damn." He mumbled. "At least its a Friday." When he opened his door, he continued to walk, with his head facing the ground. He only walked about two more seconds, because Blair was waiting outside his door, and he got a face-full of her chest...again. "Eh?!" He shouted, as his head flew back, his nose bleeding everywhere.
"C'mon, Soul!" I shout from the other room. I knew Blair was in their with him by now, and I didn't want to walk in on something, again. I took a deep breath, and slipped my bag of my shoulder. 'Fine' I think, and head for the door. 'If he wants to be late, he can be late.' But by the time I open the door, Soul is walking out of his room, and Blair is pouting in the doorway. "How about you play with me, instead of going to school?" she says, but Soul simply brushes her off. I nearly smirked. "Let's go." He says, and we exit. Blair pouts on the floor a little while, longer.
When we get to school, I stop walking when I reach Tsubaki. She's holding her own hands, and looking up, with a soft smile on her face. "Oh, goodness." I say in a goofy tone, as I realize what she's looking at. Black Star was shouting on top of the school, again. I turn my head to see Kid, Liz, and Patty. Patty was jumping from side-to-side, chanting "Jump! Jump! Jump!" And Liz was obviously getting annoyed, by Kid yelling at Black Star to get down, before he breaks something, and ruins the symmetry, again. Though Sid was yelling for him to get down, the only thing to get Black Star to quit it, was when Soul yelled "Aye, will you cut it out, already?"
Black Star hopped down, and Tsubaki's clapping started. Honestly, I have no idea why she is so dedicated to him. But in a way, it was really sweet, so I clapped, along with her. Black Star bowed, and posed, until Stein dragged him off. "Black Star!" We hear Tsubaki yell, but no one else was worried. They were all to busy being annoyed, because he was now yelling "Let me go! I'm the biggest star of all! I out-shine god!" I giggled a little, and was alone when Tsubaki ran after Black Star. I looked off, and was only shaken back into reality when Soul touched one of my shoulders. "C'mon." He said; and took my hand. He rushed me inside, but it felt like slow motion. His smile made me feel warm inside.
When we got to the classrom, Tsubaki was telling Black Star (who had a blooded-up face) why he should be more careful. We sat down in our usual places, as Stein rolled into the classroom. (Falling down twice in the process.) On a table next to him, held a blanket, covering some sort of cage. I sighed, and crossed my fingers. "Please not another dissection, please not another dissection." I whispered, and that's when he removed the cloth. A small giraffe.
"Today, we will be dissecting a-"
"NOOOOOO!" We hear, and Patty is standing up. "I love giraffes!" She yells, as she holds up her homework, covered in giraffe doodles.
"If you love so much, why do they all have bandages on their necks." I mumbled, as i eyed the drawings.
"Impressive." Soul said, when he saw the drawings, and Death the Kid just complained about how the pattern on the pictures weren't the same on both of the sides.
"The drawings are good, but its lacking something...A STAR!" he said and leaped up, trying to sign the drawing. Liz stuck her foot up, and Black Star's face hit it directly, and he went falling down.
I took another deep breath. Were they really arguing about the drawings? I guess its more intertaining than watching Stien dissect the...I gasped. In all the commotion, Stien was already about to cut into the Giraffe, and used a purple marker to mark where the incision would be. I watched, disturbed about what I was about to see. When the knife was placed to the small animal, i shut my eyes, and hear a huge crash. They flash open, when total silence falls. Soul had grabbed Proffesor Stein's arm, stopping him from cutting in, yet. But Soul was thrown across the room. I rushed to him. "Soul, are you okay?" I said, panicing again, a little bit. I was determined to be stronger, but at this point, all I was is paranoid.
He stood up, and brushed it off, as if it was nothing. "Yeah, I'm fine." And he grinned at me. I just looked to the ground. "Good. Wouldn't want anyone to get hurt." As I spoke, class was dissmissed and Stein fell to the floor just after i said it.
Later in the evening, I approached Soul's door. And knocked lightly.
