I stand in front of my new school and smile. This is my new home. I decided to wear my light blue skinny jeans and a yellow shirt with a pink sweater over top. My backpack is full of books, papers, pencils, and everything else I need to encourage my education. I hold my favourite book "Hatchet" and other school books on my arm since they couldn't fit inside my back pack.
"Maka!" A voice yells out. I turn my head and see my worst enemy standing before me. My father.
"What are you doing here papa?" I ask angrily.
"Well, your science teacher called in sick so I'm the substitute! Isn't that awesome!"
"Not really."
He stares at me with puppy dog eyes as I walk past him. I look down at a piece of paper that tells me my home room when suddenly I feel someone bump into me, making me drop all my books.
"Watch where your going!" He yells to me. He looks shorter than me and he has blue hair. He wears a black shirt that has the band "Behemoth" written on it and is wearing baggy jeans. I growl as I pick up my books.
"Need a hand?" A voice asks. I look up and see a guy looking down at me. He wears an orange shirt with a leather jacket and has white hair.
"Sure" I reply. He kneels next to me and grabs a few of my books. He has one earbud in with the music playing quite loud, I can hear it. I can tell he's listening to Riot by Three Days Grace.
"Here" He says as he hands me my books.
"Thanks. I'm Maka"
"Soul"
"Excuse me?"
"Soul. Thats my name. Soul Eater Evans"
"Oh. I've never met someone named Soul."
"Well, I guess I'm just that cool"
I giggle. He gives me a hand and we both stand up.
"Are you new here?" He aks
"Yeah, its my first day. I didn't know I had this "Talent" until last week."
"Cool. I've been going to this school for a while."
"Are you a weapon or a meister?"
"Weapon. You?"
"Meister."
"Oh. Well, we should head inside. Maybe later I'll give you a tour of the school"
"Sounds like fun"
We walk inside and he helps me look for my classroom.
"Who is your homeroom teacher?" He asks me. I pull out the paper.
"Mr. Sid"
"Hey, that's my homeroom teacher"
"Cool"
We walk into his classroom and sit together. A group of guys and girls that ,from the look of how they are acting and are dressed, are the cool kids surround Souls desk. One of them is the guy who bumped into me. He and Soul seem really close. One of the girls pushes through the guys and walks to my desk.
"Hi. I'm Tsubaki" She says. The girl wears a white tank top that shows cleavage and a black sweater that's halfway zipped up. She wears a short skirt and her long hair is tied back in a pony tail.
"Hey. I'm Maka"
"I'm sorry about earlier."
"What?"
"My friend Black Star pushed you over and I'm sorry. I meant to help you up but it seems Soul beat me to it"
"Its ok. It wasn't your fault. How long have you been going to this school?"
"Two years. They teach normal school stuff here until students reach ten. Then the next three years are all about weapons and Miesters. This is the year we choose our partners."
"Really? Cool. Is it a good school?"
"The best! I've never felt so cared for and accepted."
"Alright everyone! Sit down at a desk please!" A voice yells. All the students scatter and find an empty desk.
"My name is Sid. I will be your homeroom teacher for the next three years. You will respect me and respect each other. This is your first year of Miester and Weapon training. Any questions?"
I raise my hand.
"Yes, new student"
"First off, my name is Maka. Second, why is your skin purple?"
"Because I'm a zombie"
I start laughing.
"I'm serious"
I stop laughing and stare at him in shock. He rolls his eyes.
"First day of school and you already think you're the class clown, huh?" Sid says as he crosses his arms.
"No I-"
"Why don't you come to the front of the class, class clown"
I sigh as I stand up. I feel everyone stare at me with eyes like daggers. I turn to Soul and he stares at me blankly. I hear someone cough "nerd" as I walk past them.
"So Maka, tell us about yourself"
"Well, I had straight A's at my old school. I'm a meister, I-"
"Loser!" Someone yells out.
"I , um, I-" I try to fight back my tears but they seem to want to come out.
"Leave her alone" Soul yells. I want to smile at him but I don't want him to see me cry so I leave the room.
"Maka!" Sid yells but I ignore him and run to the bathroom. I go into the stall and lock the door before crying harder. Its my first day and people are already bullying me. I though this school would be better than my old one. I thought I would be more accepted.
"Maka?" Tsubaki says as she knocks on the stall door.
"Go away" I say. Suddenly, the bathroom stall door opens.
"How did you do that?"
"I picked the lock. Now come here"
I walk towards her and she puts her hands on my shoulders.
"Soul wanted to check on you but I went since you were in the girls room"
"Soul wanted to talk to me?"
"Yes. Clean yourself up and we'll head back to class together."
"Ok"
...
I grab my lunch tray and look for a table to sit at.
"Hey Maka" A voice calls. I turn my head and see Soul waving at me. I smile at him and sit next to him.
"Seriously? You want the nerd at our table?" Asks one of the guys.
"Yeah, so what?" Soul yells. The guy just rolls his eyes and leaves.
"Whatever. He was retarded anyways." Soul says before taking a bite of his fish.
"Thanks" I say.
"Sure. How's your first day so far?" He asks.
"Not the best. Its hard making friends"
"You have me don't you? And Tsubaki? I didn't make any friends until a week after I came here, let alone my first day."
"Why?"
"People thought I was weird because of my shark teeth"
"I didn't even notice"
He looks at me and smiles. Maybe this will be a good day.
