"Hey, come on Maka!" shouted Soul for probably the fifth time in the last ten minutes.
"We're totally gonna be late for school. Again." Soul whined, "And that's just not cool."
Maka had recently been taking a long time getting ready in the morning, causing her and her brother to be late getting to school even though they only had to walk a little over three blocks to the school.
"Hold on!" Maka yelled back.
Unlike her brother with his white hair she preferred to leave her dishwater blonde hair uncolored. She always had a terrible time with it. She tried to curl it like she saw other girl's do. But instead she finally decided on pigtails. She kept trying to dress up her regular school uniform but found that nearly impossible due to the strict standards set by their principal.
Why is high school so hard? she thought to herself as she checked in the mirror one more time. The small girl practically flew down the stairs as she threw on her back-pack and shouted a goodbye to her parents. Soul had given up and decided to wait outside where he handed Maka a poptart on her way out.
"Bout damn time!" he half-yelled and then smirked, "This wouldn't have anything to do with the new kid would it?" Soul gestured at everything from Maka's make-up to her new shoes that she had to beg her mom for.
Maka blushed and became very interested in her poptart.
Before Soul could say anything else the siblings spotted the school truancy star riding his bike down the street.
"Hey, Black Star" Soul called to the boy who dyed his hair blue yet chose to be called Black Star.
"You peasants off to school?" Black Star mocked. "I'm too big for it. You'll be seeing me in the big leagues!"
First you have to pass high school Maka thought.
Poor Tsubaki Maka continued thinking the poor girl doesn't know what she's in for.
Maka's thoughts were interrupted as said Tsubaki walked out of her house which stood right next to her own.
Tsubaki waved and began to say her greetings when Black Star shouted "There's my baby!"
Tsubaki blushed because, due to her semi-sheltered life style and overprotective brother, she had never been called "baby" before. But thanks to Black Star being too absorbed in doing his bike tricks, he didn't see.
Black Star slipped off his bike and fell to the ground causing Tsubaki to run to him out of fear of him hurting himself. He then quickly jumped up and smiled off the pain with one of his snotty grins saying
"It's just a bike. Fallin' off a bike never hurt anyone big!" Tsubaki sighed and smiled to herself.
Meanwhile Soul had been twiddling with his new phone since he broke his last one after running around all night with Black Star to God knows where and Maka had been watching the situation with Black Star and Tsubaki sighing inside wondering if she could ever been in a relationship like that.
She then remembered who she wished she had one with and blushed a bright red. Much to her dismay everyone was looking at her when she did. Tsubaki gave her a knowing smile while Soul and Black Star grinned at each other.
"Well, what are you all looking at?!" Maka yelled in embarrassment, "We're all going to be late to school and Mr. Stein won't be happy about it."
Knowing Mr. Stein though, Maka knew he wouldn't care. He was just a biology teacher that gave students homework worksheets and objects to dissect. She shivered when she thought about the snakes, frogs and mice he was so found of.
Oh well, Maka thought, not every teacher can be Ms. Marie or Ms. Azura.
Although Maka had to admit that their classes were only great because of who was in them not who was teaching. She shook those thoughts from her mind and rushed ahead of Soul, Black Star, and Tsubaki to lead the way to another day of school.
