Normal P.O.V.
"Hey Maka?" Soul said quietly.
They were both walking down the halls to their last class.
"Yeah, Soul?" Maka said?
She was wondering he was so quiet today. Maybe he was finally going to open up to her now.
"Umm, could I ask you something?" he said, covering his eyes with his hair.
"Anything!" she said cheerfully.
"Well the thing is…" he started.
"YAHOOO! The great me has appeared!" Black*Star yelled.
Black*Star jumped out of nowhere right in-between the two friends.
"Black*Star calm down please!" Tsubaki said.
That set off Black*Star. "Why? Why should the great me calm down? I have every right to be Black*Star!" and he continued his rant.
Soul seemed flustered and frustrated afterwards but Maka didn't notice since she was too busy trying to also calm down Black*Star. Maka turned around facing Soul saying "Ask me back at home?"
Soul just kept looking down, uttering a "yeah" and went inside the class without the three.
Sigh when he finally was going to tell me what's wrong too. Jeez Black*Star. She thought.
When Maka and Tsubaki finally calmed him down the three walked inside lost in their own thoughts.
I really like Tsubaki but how can I tell her? My Godly instincts always take over and ruin everything… she must hate it by now. He thought.
Sigh why does Black*Star always have to do that? Oh well it's ok, I don't really mind… it's just that… Tsubaki questioned herself.
I need to make sure Soul's ok! He's my best friend after all! She thought.
The class went by slowly as everyone was lost in their own thoughts.
*Ding Dong Ding
"Thank you class. Have a good weekend!" said as he rolled away, falling over the rook of the door, like usual.
Everyone was pretty quiet leaving the school, even Black*Star, which surprised everyone.
"Bye guys." Maka said.
"Bye." Everyone uttered.
So now Soul and Maka climbed on the orange motorcycle to go home. The ride itself was pretty quiet and Maka didn't want to push Soul if he didn't want to say anything.
They reached the apartment and parked the motorcycle when Soul asked "Maka?"
"Yeah?"
He put his arm around her as they started walking towards the apartment slowly.
"Will you go out with me?" Soul asked.
"What?" Maka said.
They continued walking up the stairs with Soul's arm still around Maka.
"Umm, Soul…" she started
Soul was waiting for her to respond when…
"Well, we're friends aren't we? So… no." She finished.
"The I'll wait for you." Soul said.
"I don't think you should. As I said we're friends Soul! K?" she said.
"Ouch, cold, ha ha I'll get you next time, but s'ok I get it. You owe me dinner though k?" he said happily.
"O.K." Maka said back.
Not knowing that behind that smile was so much and hurt and pain.
That was a year ago. Maka and Soul were still good friends now, and Soul even dated a few girls after that. And Maka fully supported, but at the moment Soul was single.
~In Class~
"Come on Soul! I'm taller then that! Give me some credit."
"Nope. I still think your about, what? 4'11?"
"Soooouuul! I'm 5'0! At least 5'0! Come on!"
Soul and Maka had their usual argument since it was free period anyway.
"Look at them! They act like a couple! They should just get together!"
"I know right? And it's obvious Soul likes Maka and she certainly seems to like him a lot too!"
"Yeah I know! And they're always together!"
People around them gossiped about them and how they should be together and hook up and stuff.
But on the other hand Black*Star and Tsubaki's 'love' relationship wasn't very good. They were really close and really good friends… but….
"Stop, Black*Star! Please?" Tsubaki pleaded.
Black*Star was just ridiculing himself as usual while Tsubaki tried to stop it.
"I guess, Tsubaki." He said.
"Arigatou." she said.
"Hey Tsubaki?"
"Yeah?" she said with her usual smile.
"Do you like someone?" he asked.
"What? Well maybe…" Tsubaki said while blushing.
Black*Star was in high hopes that it was him, so he asked
"What's his name?" he asked happily.
"Kira Yamamoto." She said still blushing.
"What?" with his voice faltering a bit.
Black*star at that moment looked so sad that he was actually speechless.
"He's so kind, cute, enthusiastic! *sigh…" Tsubaki sighed contently while closing her eyes.
"Really? YAHOO! I support you Tsubaki!" he said with a big smile.
Tsubaki didn't realize that behind that smile was hurt… the same hurt that Soul had before.
Ding Dong Ding
"Anyway, let's go Black*Star? School's done now." She said.
"Okaaay!" he yelled.
And both of them left the class.
Maka's P.O.V
"Soul! Jeez it's been like that whole world! I'm 5'0!"
"…with shoes." He said… again!
"MAKA-CHOP!"
"Owww…" he said as he rubbed the dent in his head.
"Awww, I'm sorry Maka." Soul said with his lovable toothy grin.
"…fine."
"Pssshh, course it's fine. Cause I'm so cool and the fact that you love me helps too right?" and chuckled afterwards.
"O-k sure I do." More then you know, Soul.
We headed home as usual and the days went by regularily. With us going to schoool, going to vlass together, eating together, going home together… we were always together. Until…
"Ne, Soul? Let's go to lunch now?" Sigh I've just realized that I love him too. More than a friend… well he said that he liked me last year right? And we do seem to be getting closer…
I stopped my thoughts when he said "I can't."
Huh? "Ummm what Soul?" We've always had lunch together! Everyday! P until today…
"But, why?"
"I'm eating with Nagazawa today, that's why." He said as he chuckled.
"Nagazawa! Satsuki Nagazawa? She's a year younger than us isn't she?" I questioned.
"Yeah. But you don't mind right?" he asked.
"Oh! Of course not! Go ahead! I'm going to eat with Tsubaki and them anyway." I chirped.
"O.k talk to you later!" and did his slump walk towards the direction of the roof top.
I shouldn't think too much about it… we're still friends anyway.
I walked to the usual lunch table with Tsubaki, Black*Star, Kid, Patty and Liz.
"Hey minna."
"Hey" they all said back.
Kid was the first one to talk to me. He sat beside me and asked, "what's wrong?"
"Huh? Nothing." And gave Kid my biggest smile.
"Really?" he asked.
Then he fully faced me and said "then look me in the eyes and say it."
I looked him in the eyes, hoping my eyes won't betray me. Then I turn and stared at him.
"There… now what?"
"Say 'I'm ok'."
"I'm ok."
But I knew at that moment that my eyes betrayed me – damn eyes – cause then he frowned.
"Really what's wrong?" he said worriedly.
Amazingly no one was paying attention to our little conversation, but still I sadi nothing.
"Come with me, we'll walk around for a bit."
"But!..." I started, however he dragged me off anyway.
We started walking around the school quietly. He was waiting for me to say something but when I stayed quiet he asked "Soul wasn't with you. You guys are always together… what happened?"
I never realized that Kid and I got pretty close… maybe more than me and Tsubaki… Huh…
Then I realized he was still waiting for my response.
"Ohh… well he said he's going to eat lunch with Satsuki Nagazawa today so I said go ahead." And smiled.
"Her?"
"Mmhmm."
"You jealous?" he taunted.
"What?! Noo!" I denyed but I knew in my heart that I was jealous over something so petty.
"Don't worry their just friends! Ahaha."
And Kid started laughing more.
"Wh-What?" I said concisouly.
"'I'll get you next time' that's what he said to you last year when you rejected him right? Hahaha!"
"How's that funny?" I demanded. I was readying my book to give him a Maka-cjop.
"Ahaha, cause now he does have you. Look at you! Stressing over him, he got you good."
"MAKA-CHOP!"
"Owwww!"
Even though I wasn't showing it Kid was right. I am stressing over it… sometimes I think he knows me better than I know myself.
"She's just friends, no worries, k? He still likes you." Kid said encouragingly.
"Thanks Kid." Was all I said.
Then Kid started spazzing how when I hit him it wasn't symmetrical and demanded me to hit him again. We argued a bit more as we walked back to our table.
Remember "friends" is what Kid said. His words not mine.
It's been about a week now and she's been with him… all the time! The minute we get to school he leaves me and walks her to class. Lunch rools around and he automatically goes to where she is. After school she comes with us back to our apartment so that they can 'study together'. And when she leaves they talk online! Or he calls her!
I stare at kid menacingly during lunch knowing what I was going to say to him. I tap my foot impatiently at him.
"Umm… they're really close friends?"
"Sigh, you really got my hopes up kid!"
I fely like crying here right now. I was just so frustrated I didn't know what to do.
"Maka…"
That's when the tears finally came pouring out.
Tsubaki, Black*Star, Patty and Liz all noticed and started worrying. Asking me multiple questions at one time.
"Maka what's wrong?"
"Don't cry…"
"Is it a boy? I'll beat him up!"
"Hahaha, hee hee Maaaaakkaaaa!"
They all talked to me at once and I didn't know what to do about Soul, how to deal with dad, I need my mom, all the damn kishins rampaging through town and I have to defeat them, I need Soul, I need answers. I'm so frustrated, I broke my own heart…
I just erupted. Luckily we were outside and no one was there except us.
"Ahhhh!" and wailed and sobbed and cried and knew that was stupid because I shouldn't do that but when you bottle everything, this is what happens.
Everyone just stayed quiet while Tsubaki held me in her arms. I swear, Black*Star keeps amazing me that he can actually shut up.
Once I calmed down enough I thanked everyone, but still gave me no explanation and left. But Black*star followed me.
"Hey Maka?"
"Yeah?" I said hoarsely since my throat hurt from yelling and crying.
"You're close with Tsubaki right?"
"Yeah, why?"
"Well I'm wondering… should I still try pursuing her?"
"Oh yeah! You told me you like her!"
"Yeah! The great Black*Star does!... should I continue?"
I didn't want to say no… but I couldn't say yes either sine she loved someone else.
"Well… truth"
"Truth."
"Even if it's yes or no you'll still be there for her?"
"Yes."
I chuckled. I feel like I'm marrying him to her or something.
"What?" He said.
"Pbt… nothing."
"…" and grumbled something inaudible.
"No." was all I said.
"Huh… that's what I thought. But I! The great Black*Star shall continue protecting her with my god-like powers!"
And I felt bad for him. He tried so hard for her to love him in that way but she brushed it off. It's not that Tsubaki's bad, it's just that she already found the one she loved and can't switch just like that… Poor Black*Star.
"Black*Star." I said quietly.
"See you later Maka! YAHOO!" and leapt away.
I went to the roof top after school to stay there for a bit. But it didn't help cause when I looked down I noticed that Soul and Satsuki left on his orange motorcycle… wait…
"How am I getting home?!!!!" I yelled upwards.
"Ahhhh!" I yelled in a high piercing voice.
