IN CLASS
"…What's wrong with Kid?" Maka leaned over and whispered conspiratorially to Soul.
"Hm…"
Soul glanced up at the Grim Reaper's son curiously. Kid was intensely gazing into space. Patti waved her arms and giggled while Liz stared intently at Kid, poking his shoulder every few seconds. Kid's eyebrows were arched as usual, and his eyes were clouded over with pondering, his mouth in a tight, contemplative frown.
"Dunno," Soul shrugged. Soul had learned that Kid worried about things that no one else could really…get. Probably just a possibly crooked book or something.
"I heard his dad made him move into the dorms," Tsubaki said quietly, focusing her soft eyes on Maka and Soul.
"I wonder…does he have a roommate? Maybe that's what's bothering him," said Maka. "Maybe it's a case of love!"
"Don't be stupid, Maka. I he's rooming with someone they have to be a guy, right? Can't be love. Maybe hate," Soul scoffed.
"Actually, I heard they changed the policies a few years back. Sometimes, a soul and a meister would want to move into the dorms together, and sometimes, like me and Black Star or you and Maka, the genders would be mixed. So they decided to let males and females room together. There's no guarantee that Kid's roommate is a boy," Tsubaki told Soul over Black Star's head.
Soul swiveled his head back towards Kid and a slow, sadistic smile crept onto his face.
"Hmmm…Well, now I'm curious," Soul mused, playing with the edge of his hoodie absently.
Kid was wandering down the hall of his dorm, heels of his shiny black shoes clicking slowly on the tiles. His head hung low on his chest and he was alone. He had dismissed Liz and Patti in hopes of some alone time. What was his dad thinking, forcing him into these asymmetrical dorms? It wasn't right. Something about consistently tardy and expulsion or held back or old age or something like that.
Once he reached his door, he gingerly touched the doorknob, reluctant to face the true source of his sorrows-his new roommate. He opened the door to see that new roommate sitting on a bed, staring at the wall.
"Hello…Chrona," muttered Kid.
"Um…hello, Kid," Chrona fearfully glanced at Kid for a moment and returned to staring at the wall.
'No, you really can't tell Chrona's gender by means of voice,' thought Kid, hopes dashed.
Ah…and now we see the true problem. Kid has a new roommate. Now…what gender is it?
And what will Kid do to find out?
Ano...This is my first….Do you think I should continue? Sorry it's short so far. I have more…but uh….yeah….please review! /
