I'm so sorry. Over the Easter holidays I went camping and had nothing better to do...The chapters are a bit short too...
Crona sighed and snuggled deeper into the corner of the car she was in. The gang had decided to go on a camping trip for the Easter holiday, and had set their sights on Death hills. Crona barely even knew what Easter was, let alone camping, but when Maka pleaded her to come and promised her a good time Crona couldn't say no. She had a hard time denying her best friend of anything, after all look what Maka did for her.
They had to drive for Five hours to reach Death Hills.
"Liz, don't fall asleep at the wheel" Death the Kid said, snapping his fingers in front of her face. Liz blinked and frowned mumbling about how she was only closing her eyes for a minute. Kid then ordered her to pull over and swap seats.
They had been on the road for about three hours, and had woken up to the crack of dawn for an early start. Of course they were a bit late because Kid had to set the bags in the car 'symmetrically' and Black Star refused to get out of bed.
Waking up early wasn't a big deal for Crona. She was usually awake at that time of night, hoping for some sleep, or shaking away nightmares.
The eight seater car was squishy at best. Maka sat next to Crona. She had her head resting on Souls shoulder, asleep, and Soul was grumbling about how he had no space and that Maka was so uncool. Once Maka had told Crona that she had a 'crush' on Soul, which sounded fairly painful to Crona, but apparently it was a good thing.
Tsubaki once said something similar to Crona and Maka at a sleepover about Black Star. And when Crona hung out with the boys, Black Star said that he 'crushed' on Patty. Crona never really talked much to Patty, but her sister Liz 'crushed' on Soul.
Whenever Maka or Liz asked her who she had a crush on Crona said "I don't know…"
Truthfully if she did have some sort of special affection for someone, it would be Death the Kid. Ridiculous but true. He just seemed so…perfect. He never shied away from what he was afraid of. He was kind to his friends and Crona too. Even after Crona betrayed the DWMA, Kid had found the kindness to forgive her. They never really talked, but to Crona, Kid was everything Crona wanted to be. She wasn't even disturbed by his obsession over symmetry. While she couldn't deal with his fits, she was amazed at how passionate his love of symmetry was. She respected him. Admired him…adored him…but Kid probably didn't see her as anything more than the Maka's awkward shadow.
Just a small shadow in his big world of light.
Crona realized that she had been staring into the rear view mirror for quite some time, and that he had been staring back. For the shortest of seconds, Kids mellow eyes connected with Crona's giving her heart a small flutter. He turned away.
He must have been looking past me…at the road.
Crona sighed and sunk deeper into the seat, turning up the volume on her iPod to full. Black Paper Moon came blaring out, deafening her eardrums.
She closed her eyes and tried hard not to think about the Shinigami sitting two seats away from her.
