A/N- Yo! This is my first Soul Eater Fanfiction, so please enjoy!

I do not own Soul Eater or any of the songs I mention.

Soul Evans walked through the dull, concrete hall. His crazy white hair was bouncing above his headband, as he faced the floor with his hands in his pockets. His bright red eyes glared down the hallway as he made his way to first period. All of a sudden, he bumped into a girl with blonde hair and emerald green eyes. She fell down along with her books. Soul caught her, and handed her books to her. Then, he walked away as if nothing had ever happened.

"Thanks!" the girl called. But he ignored her and disappeared into the crowd of people.

The girl turned to face her friend Liz, the most popular girl in the school. "Who is that guy?" She asked.

"That's Soul Evans," Liz sighed, "Don't worry about him, Maka. He's a freak."

"Whatever you say." Maka said, and walked to class with Liz by her side.

Soul pulled his locker open, revealing a hideous display of horrific pictures and doodles, balled up pieces of paper, and late school work. He sighed, and took out his textbook. He walked into first period, and sat down, alone with his thoughts. It was always like that, no one ever wanted to sit near Soul, besides his friends Kid and Black Star. Most people were creeped out by him, and others just thought he was weird. He had teeth that were slightly more pointed than the average mans', and he kept his white hair messy. Not to mention, he had bright red eyes, which also caused people to become intimidated by him.

All of the seats in the lab were filled, and by the time Maka Albarn came in, the only seat left was the one next to Soul. She walked over to the seat and smiled at him. He turned to her and gave her a small smirk, which revealed his sharp teeth, and red eyes. He saw Maka's eyes widen in disbelief and a slight bit of fear, but then they returned to normal.

"Hi," she said offering her hand, "I'm Maka."

Soul shook her hand and looked at her, "I'm Soul. You're new aren't you?"

"Yeah, how'd you know?"

"Not many people would be okay with sitting next to me."

"Why's that?"

Soul chuckled. "I'm sure you'll find out eventually."

Maka was puzzled with the boys' strange behavior, and began to wonder if sitting next to him was a good idea. Just then, the teacher walked in.

"Hello students, I'm Professor Stein. I'll be your science teacher this year. Now, we'll start with assigning lab partners…." The professor took about five minutes to assign every one lab partners. "…Black Star and Tsubaki, Maka and Soul, and a group of three; Kid, Patty, and Liz. Alright everyone, I want you all to get to know your partner better. You'll have to be working on many different projects this year."

"So…" Soul murmered.

"So…" Maka said, awkwardly. "What kind of music do you listen to?"
"Punk rock; Ramones, Sex Pistols, Nirvana, Offspring, Green Day, etcetera."

"Oh, I haven't heard those bands before. I listen to folk rock like Bob Dylan, The Mountain Goats, Bruce Springsteen, and Grace Potter."

"I've listened to them. They're all pretty good, especially The Mountain Goats. They're a pretty under rated band."

'Hm,' Maka thought, 'Maybe he isn't so bad.' "Yeah, I really like them. What's your favorite song by them?"

"Probably 'Sax Rohmer #1'. What about you?"

"I really like 'Love Love Love'."

"That's a good one. 'Cry For Judas' is a pretty good song, too. And so is 'Up the Wolves'."

Maka and Soul talked for God know how long. Then the bell rang.

"Ok, class," Stein said, "I'll see you all tomorrow."

Soul and Maka walked out of class. They both walked to their lockers, which turned out to be fairly close to each other. Soul's was in between Black Stars' and Kids' locker, and Makas' locker was right next to Tsubakis', which was next to Black Stars'.

By the time lunch rolled around Soul sat down with Kid and Black Star. Tsubaki came over and sat next to Black Star. Maka was sitting with Liz and her twin sister Patty.

"I heard you got Soul assigned to you as a lb partner. Sorry about that." Liz said.

"What's so bad about him?" Maka questioned angrily.

"He's just really weird. Trust me, you don't want to be friends with him."

"Well, why not?" Maka was getting a little confused. Why were people so afraid of Soul?

Was this what he had been talking about earlier?

"You really want to know, don't you?" Liz finally came out with it, "He's always talking back to the teachers, his only friends are Black Star and Kid, he wears his hair so messily, his skin his extremely pale, he has creepy red eyes, his teeth are really sharp(rumor has it he uses them to feast on his victims), and he's so anti-social. Plus, he's always trying to be'cool'."

Maka couldn't believe it. Was Soul really as weird as people said he was? She looked over to where Soul was sitting. He was laughing along with Kid at something funny Black Star had said. He looked like a pretty normal teenager… aside from his messy white hair, red eyes, and sharp teeth.

"Trust me, he's not good enough to be your friend," Liz said, "He spends a lot of his time on the streets and in dark alleys. People say that he's trying to escape his mom and dad, who are always lecturing him. He always acts rudely to those around him as well. Trust me, just stay away from him"

"Maybe you're right…" Maka said.

Meanwhile…

"So, whose that girl you got signed up with as lab partners, Soul?" Kid asked.

"Yeah, tell us!" Black Star exclaimed enthusiastically.

"Alright, alright," Soul said, "Her name is Maka. She's a new student here. She's really cool. I hope she won't ditch me like all of the others did when they find out what other people say about me…" Soul took a bite out of his sandwich. "AH! I bit my tongue!"

Kid and Black Star started to laugh, and Soul joined in after a few moments.
