Soul woke up,well barely ,it was really Make who woke him up. He sniffed the air,"Uh maka are you burning pancakes again?" Maka looked at him annoyed,"They're not burnt! They're..." 'Sticking to the pot. Great.' Soul heard her making grunting noises,he chuckled a bit. "I'll just grab some toast." Before walking out,he swiftly grabbed a piece of toast. Maka followed after him, after she saved the hardened pancakes or whatever it was. Soul didn't understand why,but he was beginning to like Maka a little. Even through she was flat as a brick wall,her personality made up for it. Soul liked the way she gripped him tighter when he turned tight corners on his motorcycle. Finally they made it to school. He stayed behind awhile and watched Maka talk to their old friends. Just thinking about her...he stared at the ground. How to tell her without making a fool out of himself? He couldn't ask BlackStar, BlackStar has yet to ask Tsubaki out. Let's not get started on Kid,always obsessed about symmetry. Soul decided to stay quiet and think it out.
BlackStar approached him when he was going through his locker. "Hey you okay soul?" Soul looked unfocused,"uh yeah sure. Why wouldn't I be?" BlackStar pretended he was thinking,"Well the fact that Maka, Tsubaki,AND I called you and you didn't respond. You just sat there quiet." Soul sighed,"Just been lost in my thoughts I guess." "What has you actually quiet for this long?" Soul hesitated on if he should tell him or not. He sighed again,"Look I'll tell you after school okay?" BlackStar nodded,"Well we better hurry. Professor Stein hates it when we're late." "Yeah. Yeah he does."
*Time skip*
"Wait was this stain always there?"muttered kid. Liz sensing a scene about to happen, quickly dragged him home. Kid bawled all the way home complaining about how his pants are now going to be unsymmetrical too. Patty sighed and followed then saying goodbye to her friends and chasing after her sister.
*BlackStar's house*
"Okay I like Maka." BlackStar smiled,"Well that's no secret. I already knew." Soul frowned,"How?" BlackStar said,"Uh uh uh. I can't tell you that. You see this is what being the greatest is all about! You find out things faster than others!" Soul chuckled a bit,"I assume you were watching my movements or something?" BlackStar grinned,"Nah man! Everytime you stared at Maka. You get this look in your eyes or something. Like some sort of anime look I guess?" Soul laughed,"Dude I now think your being overdramatic." "No seriously your eyes like sparkled! At least I think..." Soul smirked,"Did you ask Tsubaki out yet?" Now it was BlackStar's turn to be quiet. After a few minutes of awkward silence,he said "no." Soul mocked him as he said,"You said and I quote,'I'm the greatest! Nothing ever scares me!' What happened to that? It ran off?" Now it was BlackStar's turn to laugh,"Yeah I'm thinking of asking her out tomorrow." Soul's eyebrows raised up,"So we're like doing this at the same time?" BlackStar shrugged,"I guess so." Soul highfived him,"See you tomorrow man." BlackStar grinned back,"Same bro."
"Back with Maka*
Soul opened the door,he seen Maka already sleeping. He looked at the time,ten thirty. Wow time sure goes by. What caught his eye was a note on his bed,it was from Maka. He stifled a laugh,she knew he be late as he usually is.
'Dear Soul,
I know your going to be late as usual. Please don't make this a normal thing please. I had to lie for you ABOUT the fifth time today. You know how strict Miss Marie is about curfew. Anyway,um... I wanted to say thank you. You've been a good friend to me. When I first came here,you were the one to befriend me. I'm glad I befriended BlackStar and Tsubaki,Kid,Liz,Patty,and Croana,but really thanks. Er...um... maybe tomorrow morning you wouldn't mind getting some coffee or doughnuts maybe? Ugh... I'm making this awkward..beats me making pancakes that somehow stay ON the pot. Um...so see ya tomorrow?
From your friend,Maka.'
Soul read the note with a grin,his teeth showing. Doughnuts and coffee eh? Okay that's cool. He'll try to be here early,he laid down on his bed and looked at Maka. Then he... smiled. He closed his eyes, little did he know Maka seen everything,and she wasn't really asleep,and a small blush crept slowly up her cheek.
