Maka tip-toed into the bathroom, and looked and into the cracked mirror, at her reflection, she was covered in bruises from the night before, and had a small cut on her right cheek. The bruises were on her thighs, arms, and her torso. Maka sighed, and put on her outfit for the day. She was wearing a white dress shirt with a dark red tie. On bottom she had on a red, plaid, pleated skirt, black sock that reached mid-thigh, which she hoped would cover the bruises that littered her legs, and black combat boots. She put her sandy blonde hair up in two ponytails, and walked out of the bathroom to wake up her roommate and boyfriend, Soul.
"Ngh," Soul mumbled muffled by the pillows covering his face, when being shaken. He rolled over, and faced away from Maka. Maka sighed and went into the kitchen, hoping that the smell of breakfast would wake him up. After taking out the necessary things to make breakfast, Maka started frying the bacon, putting the bred in the toaster, and scrambling the eggs. After she was done, and put the plated of food on the table, Soul came out.
He was dressed for school, and after the breakfast previously mentioned, the two teens went exactly there.
"Hey Soul, did you hear that there's going to be a new student?" Maka asked Soul over the sound of the motorcycle they were currently on. Soul smirked, showing off his pointed teeth, the same color of his alabaster hair.
"Yeah, but don't worry. He's not going to be as cool as me." He said as he slowed to a stop in front of Shibusin. They were an hour early.
"I know. No one can be as cool as you Soul." Maka smiled.
"YAHOO!" Suddenly a blue-haired boy ran to the pair standing in front of the building. "I SEE ALL OF YOU CAME BACK AFTER SUMMER BREAK TO SEE ME, THE GREAT BLACK STAR!" The boy yelled at the top of his lungs. A girl Maka recognized as Tsubaki ran after him. She smiled and gave Soul and Maka and apologetic look.
"I'm sorry about his behavior," Tsubaki said. She had long black hair in a pony tail that cascaded from her head, almost touching the floor. She was Maka's best friend, and was currently dating the blue-haired nuisance that was yelling at the top of his lungs.
"How are you Tsubaki? How was your visit to Japan?" Maka asked.
"It was god. I got to see my parent and most of my family." She said with a smile. "What happened? There's a scratch on you cheek." She pointed out, her smile fading. Maka could feel Soul tense a bit at her words.
"I wasn't being careful in the kitchen, and accidentally cut myself." Maka said. She could feel Soul relax more as Tsubaki ate the lie right up, believing it.
The two girls continued talking while their boyfriends laughed and chatted about summer break in almost a drunk sort of fashion.
"Did you see him?"
"Yeah, he's really cute. I wonder if he's seeing anybody."
"Maybe, you know that these days the only good men are either taken, or gay. Besides, he had two other girls with him, and they looked close."
"A girl can still hope though."
"Hey Jackie, Kim, what are you talking about?" Tsubaki asked the two girls, after over hearing their conversation.
"The new boy," Kim responded. She had short light pink hair, and the girl next to her, Jackie, had raven-colored hair like Tsubaki's. "He has been spotted." She said with an official tone, causing Maka and Tsubaki to laugh a little.
"What does he look like?" Maka asked.
"He was wearing a white dress shirt, some black jeans, and-"
"Physical apearence, not his clothes Jackie." Maka said cutting of the girl.
"I was getting there. He has black hair and three white stripes on the left side. His skin is considerably pale, and he had the most handsome face. His most memorable feature are his eyes… they are a rich golden color. It's almost like he has eyes of gold." Jackie said.
Kim nodded and said, "He had two girls with him though. I don't k now his elatinship with them, but they don't look related." Kim soon left after saying this with Jackie following son behind.
Eyes of gold, huh? Maka thought to herself. Interesting, I might want to see this boy.
Soon the four teens, Black Star, Soul, Tsubaki, and Maka were hearing more things about this mysterious new boy. He apparently did have golden eyes, and odd hair, but there were new things being heard by the teens as well. He had an OCD obsession with symmetry. He was the head master's son. He was good looking. He was the brother of the two girls. He was dating one of the two girls. More and more things came to Maka and the other three's ears. They all seemed curious of which rumors were true or not. Well, three of them anyway.
"Who the hell does this dude think he is?! Does he think he is going to outshine me, the great Black Star?! I don't think so! When I meet this guy I'm going to-" The boy's rant was cut off by the thick book that collided with his head.
Maka picked up her book before saying, "You're an idiot, you know that?" All she got in response was a small "Ow," before Tsubaki came over, and helped Black Star up.
"Now Maka that is no way to treat your Nii-san," Black Star said rubbing the spot that had been hit. Maka rolled her eyes, and braced for impact as Black Star started to give her a noggie.
"Ow, ow, I'm sorry alright?" Maka said. Black Star released her and smiled as she fixed her hair.
"Not cool man. I don't care if you two are brother and sister, there's no giving noggies to my girl." Soul said. He took Maka's hand in his own.
Maka laughed, and walked off to class hand in hand with the very person that had caused the bruises on her body. How hypocritical, she thought I bet that's not what you were thinking when you gave me the bruises I wear today, and for the past three months…
I hope that didn't suck too bad. Nii-san means older brother if you didn't know that. If I get encouraging reviews, I'll continue this. I hope you enjoyed it. Next chapter will have the three everyone's talking about.
