I woke up in bed, rubbing sleep out of my eyes and quietly sat up. In my concrete room, I watched the morning sunlight pour in through my small window. I didn't mind having one window it was enough for me. It was the last day of school and summer break was coming, I knew everyone was excited. I remember Maka told me it was. Now that the kishin was gone, we could really relax and have fun. I got out of bed walked over to the corner, "Hello Mr. Corner" I whispered and gently sat down. I pressed my face up against my knees and thought about summer break, if Maka was happy I should be too. Suddenly I heard footsteps coming toward my door I was immediately startled and tried to hide in the corner. Pound! Pound!
"Hello? Crona are you there? Breakfast is almost ready!"
I didn't respond back. Pound! Pound! Pound!
"Crona! It's me Maka! It's time for breakfast," she said again.
"O-Oh come in Maka", she walked in looking around for me. Once she saw me,
she gave me a big smile.
"Crona? You don't have to be in that corner! Come on let's go eat!"
"O-Okay."
Once everyone was done eating they went to class. I was getting use to DWMA, but I still wanted Maka to walk with me to class. I was happy she understood and walked with me. While we were going to class we happened to see Tsubaki, who needed Maka to help her with a couple things. I ended up walking by myself. I said to myself it was ok to walk alone, but I still liked walking with someone. I continued walking keeping my head down completely unaware that I was alone in an unfamiliar hall, until I heard the bell ring. I sighed and knew that I would be late so I just started to trace my tracks. All of a sudden I heard someone's footsteps, running, I looked around and saw nothing. I stood there looking around for what it was I saw nothing I started walking again. Then
I saw running up behind me was Death the Kid I asked "Sh-Shinigami?" he ran right into a closet and slammed the door. I heard someone's footsteps right after and running closer to me down the hall; confused I said "He-Hello?" to the empty hall.
Then the door swung open behind me and I was pulled inside, watching the door close on me. I was terrified at that moment; flash backs of Medusa locking me in that room started to come back to me. Before I knew it my eyes were stinging from tears. Then I felt I was sitting against someone's stomach and a hand over my mouth and around my stomach; I could feel someone's arm. It wasn't a tight grip not enough to kill or suffocate me. Over my head I could hear someone panting. I started to panic and was about to grab for the door knob. Then recognized the voice.
Kid whispered, "Sorry about this Crona, but I can't let Liz and Patty find me." He took his hand off my mouth then grabbed my hand and pulled it back against my chest. My face got really hot all of a sudden I didn't know why and my stomach started to feel weird too. All I could think of was that it felt nice to be held. I really liked it. We heard footsteps run past the door then again a couple times. Kid held me tighter and moved both of us back into the corner, no one had ever held me like this. I didn't know how to deal with it, so I started to shake from being nervous. To my surprise Kid must have noticed it and he squeezed my hand a little more for comfort and for his sake I stopped. After a minute or two he let go of me, stood up and cracked the door to see if anyone was out there. He decided it was clear and he quickly tip-toed. He turned to help me up.
"Thank you for being quiet Cr-" he asked, "Are you crying?
"Ya..."
"I'm sorry did I scare you?"
"Well…n-no Medusa put me in a room for several days and it just reminded me o-of it..."
"Oh my apologies."
He took a handkerchief from his back pocket and started whipping my face, I was completely shocked and I felt myself blush a lot.
I managed to say, "Th-Thank you…"
"Here." And gave me his handkerchief.
Then he suggested that we could walk together since we had the same class. I only nodded and quietly walked behind him. The walk was very quiet and awkward. I looked at the simple white handkerchief he gave me and hid it up my sleeve. I kind of wanted to keep all of this a secret. It would be to embarrassing to tell anyone, I thought to myself. When I looked up at him, he seemed fine. He just kept walking with a blank stare. I wish I knew what he was thinking. It felt if it took hours to get there but once we arrive we walked inside to see that it was completely quiet and with everyone staring at us. I started to hide behind him but then Kid walked over to Stein and handed him a slip out of his front pocket. Leaving me completely in the open.
He read it while adjusting the bolt in his head once and said unpleasantly,"I guess you're excused then."
Kid nodded and walked over to his seat and I followed right behind him. I hate, hate when people stare.
Ring!Ring!Ring!
Class was finally over I closed my book. I was about to get up when Maka turned to me.
"Ok what happened? I left to help Tsubaki and you come back late! with Kid!"
"Uhhh we-well."
