Alright, here's my second story!
Thanksgiving's tomorrow so I'm out of school for the rest of the week and I'm really bored. So, I decided to write another story. This one seemed easier to write than my first one and I like it a lot better. Hope you like!
Disclaimer- I sadly don't own Soul Eater.
Movie Theater Chick
This was so uncool. Soul Evans, one of the most popular guys in his high school, the guy who has never once had a problem asking a girl out, could actually feel himself starting to sweat as he looked at the girl standing behind the counter at the concession stand.
She was a petite teenager with childish but cute pigtails in her hair, and vibrant eyes that were the color of emerald. She was the only girl who could ever capture his attention so easily. This girl was the reason Soul came to the movie theater as often as he could.
Soul had been coming there every weekend and every day off from school he had just to see her for about two months, but he had never found the courage to talk to her. So, (no matter how creepy he knew it was) he would just sneak quick glances at her every now and then while trying to think of ways to approach her.
But today he wasn't just here to see her. He was here to see a movie because he actually wanted to see it instead of just using it as an excuse to stare at her.
He sighed and looked at his watch. His movie wasn't starting for another hour, but his best friend wanted to come early to eat lunch at the food court.
"What is taking that idiot so long?" he questioned aloud.
"Who are you calling an idiot?! Have you forgotten how awesome I am?!" an obnoxious voice exclaimed from behind him.
Speak of the devil.
Soul turned around and sighed, "Finally man, you said you'd be here in five minutes. It's been twenty."
Black Star smirked, "I took so long because I was being a hero!" he said proudly.
"Care to explain?"
"On my way here I saw a damsel in distress! Some guy stole her purse and like the awesome god that I am I stopped the guy!" he yelled, pumping his fist in the air. "You should have been there man! She was all like, "Thank you the great and amazing Black Star! I am forever in your debt and I will worship you for the rest of my-"
"Alright I get it, good for you. Can we please eat now?" Soul said as he interrupted his friend's terrible girl impression.
"Yeah, whatever. You're just jealous because you're nowhere near as amazing as I am."
"Yeah that's it." Soul sarcastically said.
As the two made their way to the food court, Soul snuck one more glance at the girl. Unfortunately for him she had chosen that moment to look in his direction as well. She smiled at him and Soul quickly turned away.
Well great. That was going to make things a lot more awkward for him. He spent two months thinking of ways to get her attention, and when she finally notices him it's because she catches him staring at her. That is just great.
"Dude, why are you blushing? I know I'm amazing and it's only natural that people are drawn to me, but I'm not into guys so sorry man."
Soul, looking utterly disgusted quickly turned to his idiot of a best friend. "What the heck man! I'm not into you! If I was gay I assure you I would have much higher standards!"
Not seeming the least bit insulted by Soul's comment, Black Star said, "Then why were you blushing dude? It's not right for a man to blush around another man." Then Black Star's eyes widened, as if he just came to a realization. "Oh, you must have seen that movie theater chick you were telling me about. Have you asked her out yet?" he asked as they sat at a table.
Soul sighed, "No I have not asked her out yet. I haven't even talked to her man." He said looking defeated.
Black Star laughed, "Dude, just walk up to her and ask her out. It's really simple." He said as if it were the most obvious thing in the world.
"Easier said than done." Soul said while shaking his head. "I'm gonna get the food. You want the usual?"
"Of course."
Right when Soul stood up, he saw a familiar pair of pigtails and sat back down. The "movie theater chick", as Black Star had named her, must have been on her break because she was heading towards the line of the same place he was heading.
Black Star looked confused, "What's the problem dude?" he said while turning around.
"It's her!" he exclaimed.
"Who?" Black Star still looked confused.
"The movie theater chick. That girl with the pigtails standing in line."
"Wait, Maka is the girl you've been stalking for the past two months?" Back Star says looking pretty amused.
"I haven't been stalk-"Soul paused. Maka? Black Star actually knew this girl? "Wait. Do you know her?"
"Yeah, we grew up together." He answered casually. "When we were little we went on play dates and stuff. I can't believe she's the one you've been obsessing over."
Soul couldn't believe this. He really had been obsessing over that girl, and to think his best friend knew her.
"I can't believe this." Soul sighed.
Black Star laughed at his friend, who now looked miserable. "Want me to ask her to sit with us?" he offered.
Soul froze, he had been looking for the opportunity to talk to her for so long now, and he finally had the chance. "I don't know man I-"
"Come on dude, she won't bite. She's harmless unless you tick her off. You know you want to." Black Star encouraged.
"Yeah, I do but I'm not sure if I'm ready yet." Soul didn't mean to sound like a wimp or anything, but this girl was the first to ever make him so nervous. He just knew that if he saw her he would do something stupid.
Black Star sighed. "Okay man, I totally understand."
Soul looked surprised. "Really?" was Black Star seriously taking someone else's feelings into consideration?
"Nope." Black Star replied, and then ran off in Maka's direction calling her name.
He really should've seen that one coming.
Soul silently prayed that Maka would turn down the invitation, but when he looked up he saw her smile and then nod her head as if to say yes.
Oh joy.
I hope you enjoyed this. I have the next few chapters planned out already so I'll post them really soon.
Like tomorrow or maybe even tonight.
