Summary: Kid is the popular school president and Maka is a nerdy bookworm. Maka is immediately drawn to Kid because it makes sense since they have so much in common and she and that slacker punk have nothing and yet… When Kid doesn't give Maka time and attention anymore, who else would step in but Soul? Soul shows her his soft side he's never shown to anyone else.

High School AU


She walked down the hallways of Shibusen, keeping her head down and making sure that she does draw attention to herself. Maka Albarn was 5'7 and the smartest girl in school, one of the most brilliant in her grade, but she preferred to spend time alone. Her brother, BlackStar, and his delinquent friend, Soul, where nothing more than bullies who picked on her. But they've left their damage and caused Maka to spend her time in the library rather than out in the courtyard socializing where they were now.

Suddenly, Maka bumped into someone, causing her to drop all of her books onto the ground. She lay sprawled on the floor, and blinked back her tears. Then, she saw a hand reach to her in front of her face.

It was Kid, the school president and… her boyfriend.

"Sorry, Maka," he smiled down at her. "I didn't see you there."

Maka took his hand and glanced around her, noticing that Kid's papers had flown everywhere too. She started to pick them up, one by one, and Kid started to pick up her books. They traded stacks and started to go off again in their own separate directions, but Kid pulled Maka in for a quick kiss.

"Sorry, babe. It's almost homecoming, and I'm drowning in all of the paperwork. We can eat lunch together tomorrow. Does that sound good?"

She nodded her head meekly and clutched her books tighter against herself. Maka had been feeling a little lonely without him, but she knew that his duties came first. Being the principal's son and the president of the Junior class kept him very busy, but Maka still loved him.

"I understand," she said. "Are we still meeting up after school?"

He shook his head. "I have to check on all of the club rooms remember? Oh, did I not tell you? Sorry about that." Kid rubbed the back of his head weakly. "Next time, I promise."

And with that, he went to go join the rest of his student council friends who were waiting beside him. Maka felt bad and she started to walk to the library again, unaware that there was someone following closely behind.
