Maka's P.O.V:

I was late today, I was normally very punctual when it came to school, but today I was running really late. I had stayed up late last night studying and had lost track of time, and now here I am paying for it, rushing around the house trying to get ready for school, while my Papa is at work.

'Damn it, why didn't he wake me this morning?'

I quickly got dressed and decided it would be best to miss breakfast, as I hurried out the door, running to school, hoping and praying that I would make it in time, and luckily I was able to quickly get into my class just before the bell rang.

I sighed heavily with relief as I sat at my desk, and thanked the lord above that I had made it.

"Hey Maka, great timing," I heard a familiar voice call to me, as I lifted my head and smiled.

"Thanks Black Star," I nodded my head as I looked to my three friends who were now standing in front of my desk.

"It's not like you to be late like that though, are you alright?" Tsubaki asked with a concerned look on her face.

"It's not because of that damn Reaper right?" Soul asked, he never was going to let this go was he?

"I'm fine, I just overslept after staying up for most of the night studying as all, and it was nothing to do with him Soul, he hasn't come over to my house for weeks," I explained while I glared at Soul slightly.

"Yeah sure," Soul rolled his eyes at me, while Tsubaki and Black Star just smiled to me, happy that I was fine.

"Alright class sit down and shut up," we all looked to the door as our teacher (Professor Stein) walked into the room, everyone was quick to sit down at their desks and sit up straight, looking to our teacher, as we all knew what would happen if we disobeyed him.

I turned and looked out of the window, while I heard the teacher calling out names to see if everyone was here. I could see the clouds floating through the blue sky, and was happy that today's weather was nice and sunny, I would've hated to run to school in the pouring rain.

'I wonder what he's doing right now,' I sighed with a smile, while my mind was currently thinking about as certain older boy who had jet black hair, and golden shining eyes.

"MAKA!"

"Huh, what?" I quickly turned to my teacher as I heard him calling out my name, forgetting for a minute that I was actually still in class.

"Be sure to answer, if you don't want to be marked as absent," Dr. Stein warned me as a stern glare crossed his expression.

"Yes sir, sorry," I apologized, hanging my head low and feeling embarrassed, while I could hear some of the other students chuckling slightly, before they all looked to the front again, as Dr. Stein finished calling out for the register and started the lesson.

'I wonder how he was when he was in school, was he as perfect back then, maybe he played annoying tricks on people like he always does with me. He's probably with his gang right now, the Thompson sisters aren't in again, so no doubt they're most likely with him,' I sighed deeply as I smiled again and looked to the clock, wishing that today would go by fast, although I doubt that will really happen.

Writer's P.O.V:

The school day seemed to drag on for today, unfortunately for the students, but like any other day the last bell eventually did ring to signal for home time for everyone, and as Maka stood at her desk putting all her things into her bag, she was approached by two of her friends.

"Hey Maka, Soul said he had to take off early, so do you wanna walk home with Tsubaki and me?" Black Star asked as he and Tsubaki smiled to Maka.

"Oh thank you for the offer really, but I'm actually meeting up with someone today, sorry," Maka smiled nervously as she closed her bag and threw it over her shoulder.

"You're meeting up with 'him' again, aren't you?" Black Star asked, crossing his arms, and raising an eyebrow to Maka.

"You guys should really give him break, he's not as bad as all those rumours say you know," Maka stated.

"We know he's not that bad, but there's still something that gives off bad vibes about him, we're just worried for you Maka, we don't want you getting hurt again," Tsubaki explained as she tried to make Maka understand just how worried they were for her.

"Listen guys I know he's done some really stupid things in the past, almost to the point of making me want to hate him, but I just can't do that, no matter how hard I try, I still can't deny the fact that I love him with all my heart, he really is a wonderful person, and he's so kind, he's just misunderstood that's all, so please can you guys just agree to go easy on him?" Maka asked with a pleading smile, hoping that her friends would agree and try and lay off of her boyfriend.

"Okay, we'll try and cut him some slack, but we're doing this for you Maka, and not for him alright?" Black Star stated, while Tsubaki just agreed with a nod.

"Thank guys," Maka smiled and she nodded to the two.

"Alright, see you tomorrow then," Black Star waved goodbye as he turned and started to walk out of the classroom.

"Goodbye Maka, say 'hi' to him for me okay?" Tsubaki smiled as she turned and left as well, once Maka had smiled and nodded to her in reply.

Maka smiled as she watched her two friends leave the classroom, and got the rest of her stuff together, before setting out to leave and go and meet up with her boyfriend.

Soul's P.O.V:

I quickly walked out of the school, I didn't have time to walk Maka home today unfortunately, my brother needed me home early for something or other and I couldn't be late, however as I quickly weaved in and out of the other students who were exiting the school, I saw a very familiar and annoying person, as I walked out to the front gates of the school, and stopped for a minute.

I recognized the annoying person instantly, how could I not after all, as he stood there looking all casual, obviously waiting for a certain young girl to come out of the school.

'So he's meeting up with Maka again today, I thought she said they weren't spending that much time with each other anymore, I can now see that that was a lie.' I glared to him, while he seemed to have not noticed me just yet since I was standing a little away from him right now.

'I should just head home, I'll get hell from my brother if I'm late, but there are just a few things I want to make clear, I need to set a few things straight with him,' I took a deep breath, as I slowly walked over to that damn Reaper and called out to him to catch his attention.

"Hey, Reaper boy!"

He turned to me as he must have heard me calling out that little name that most people from this school call him by now. I walked upto him, while he just smiled to me, with that stupid annoying look on his face, making him look as polite as ever.

"Hello Soul, how are you?"

That was his act, address people nicely, leading them to think he was some 'kind gentleman', when really deep down he was nothing but a killer, I could never understand what Maka sees in him, honestly and even after he finally came clean to her about who he really was, the next day she comes to school saying that he was just playing a trick on her, true she's been back to her normal self since then, but how long is it going to be before he does something like that again? He's a mean person who loves to watch people suffer, and I can tell it won't take long before he hurts Maka again.

'She really can do better than this guy, so much better, but she's too blind to see it,'

"What are you doing here?" I asked in an annoyed tone already wishing that I had just chosen to go home, instead of stopping to talk to this guy.

"Well what's it look like, I'm waiting for Maka of course," He talked in the annoying innocent way he always does.

"Tell me why, why did you hurt Maka the way you did? Did you find if fun or something?" I asked, raising my voice a little, I shouldn't let my anger for this guy get to me right now.

"Simple, I did it to test her,"

"Test her?" Now I expected him to say a lot of things as an answer to my question, but I didn't expect him to say that.

"Think about it Soul, whenever girls that I was with heard about those rumours, they would automatically break up with me, without giving me any chance to explain, but Maka was different she didn't believe those rumours, she was the first girl I had dated that hadn't, so I wanted to see if I could test her, I told her the rumours were true, I was a monster, and she believed me. I thought for sure she would leave after I told her all of that, but she didn't, she took me completely by surprise and stayed with me, saying 'she couldn't leave me even if she wanted to, because she loved me' that's when I told her that I had been lying to her about saying that the rumours were true, when they weren't."

Did he really think I would buy that crap? He just likes to make up stupid excuses all the time, and I wanted to punch him for it.

I hate him, I've never hated someone so much in my life until he came along, and I really wish Maka would just open her eyes and see what a low-life this guy really is.

"Listen here you, I know that Maka can't see through all your lies and acts, but I can and if you do anything to hurt her like you did before I will-

"I know Soul, you tell me the same thing every time you see me, so why don't you save your breath and just leave it for today?" he suggested with that damn smile again.

I wanted to give him a good kick in the teeth for cutting me off like that, but in a way he was right, nothing I could say has ever made Maka stop hanging around him, and I need to be at home right now, it's not worth it to waste my breath on him like this right now.

"KID!" my eyes widened as I heard a familiar voice calling out to the guy that was standing beside me.

I turned and looked to where the voice had come from and sighed slightly as I saw Maka happily waving to the guy next to me, while he waved back to her. She had that blissful smile on her face, that I knew only he could be the reason for, she would never smile like that for anything else, only for that damn Reaper boy. Yes only for Kid her boyfriend, who she loves with all her heart.

"Shouldn't you be heading home now Soul?" He asked as I turned back to him.

He still had that annoying smile on his face, it hadn't left his lips throughout this whole conversation. I turned away from him, "Just step off or you'll regret it alright?"

"You got it," he replied before I walked off and watched as Maka ran over to him, smiling happily looking so glad to see him.

I sighed as I could hear her happily talking to him in her cheery voice, before I just decided to start making my way home, I knew my brother was going to kill once I got there, since me talking to that damn Reaper had made me late, but right now I didn't care about that.

'If he even thinks and hurting her again, he's dead,'

Maka's P.O.V:

"Hey, what were you talking to Soul for?" I asked Kid as I smiled to him, feeling happy that he had shown up at the school gates waiting for me just like he had promised yesterday.

"Oh it was nothing really, just Soul being Soul, don't worry about it," Kid smiled to me as I looked to Soul and was a little confused as to way he was talking to Kid, but shrugged that feeling off as I looked back to Kid.

"So are you walking me home then?" I asked happily, already knowing how he would answer me.

"If that is what you so wish, my beautiful Maka," He bowed to me while I just chuckled at his little 'Gentleman prince'act, before I grabbed hold of his hand and held tightly onto it, and started to lead him to my home, while he just smiled to me with that charming smile of his that always made me feel all giddy inside.

'I really do act like some love-struck Highschool girl whenever I'm around him,'

"Tsubaki said 'Hi' by the way,"

"Is that the tall girl with black hair?"

"Yeah that's her, she still doesn't trust you very much, but I think she's starting to warm up to you a little," I smiled nervously while I swung our held hands back and forth slowly, Kid happily not minding and letting me do so.

"She sounds like a nice girl, nothing like the ones that I'm acquainted with,"

"You mean the three that are in your gang right?"

"Hey you're a girl that I'm acquainted with too aren't you?" I could now see Kid smirking out of the corner of my eye.

"Hey I'm nice," I defended myself as I smirked back to Kid.

"I'm not saying you aren't, but you are known for having quite the cold and rude attitude lot of the time,"

"Please like you're one to talk, you're not only the leader of a gang, but you've got like a hundred rumours going around the school about you," I've gotten a lot better at getting Kid back whenever he teases or fools around with me, and I can pick it up a lot quicker now. So I can always tell when he's telling the truth and when he's just kidding around.

I have been trying to spread good things about him around the school, but those rumours about him have been going around for so long now that it's practically impossible to make all (or even some) of the students change their minds about him.

No one minds or really notices when Kid comes to meet me at the school gates, because most of them have never actually seen Kid, they've just heard about this terrible killer that used to go to the same school a couple of years back. They don't even know his name, and all they know him as is by that annoying little nick-name 'Reaper boy'. Honestly those people really need to grow up and stop being so judgemental over someone they don't even know.

Although if I hadn't had met Kid the way I did, and then heard about those rumours I probably would have thought the same, so I can't really blame them.

"Your Dad working late tonight?" I heard Kid ask as I pulled myself out of my thoughts and looked back to him, soon realising that we were almost at my home.

"I'm guessing so, I guess that means I'm eating by myself again this evening," I sighed slightly, I don't mind my Papa working late, but it does get kinda lonely eating my dinner all alone, and then waiting for him to come home before I head off to bed.

"Hey I could stay over and keep you company if you like?" Kid suggested, and I would've have agreed if it weren't for me remembering something.

"Oh no, you're still being punished for all those lies you told me a while ago, so you can think again if you think you can spend the night at mine tonight," I still wasn't letting him off the hook for that cruel trick he played on me not too long ago.

"Aww come on Maka, first you gave me the silent treatment for five days, then you said we couldn't hang out as much anymore and you haven't let me stay round at your house for over three weeks now, can't I just come in for a little bit, please?" Kid pleaded.

I normally wouldn't give in to him, but I have been punishing him like this for almost a month now, I think he's learnt his lesson, and he'll have hell to pay if he shows me that he hasn't.

"Alright you can come in for a bit, but you can forget about staying the night," I stated as I let go of his hands and quickly walked upto my front door, as we had just arrived at my home.

"How about just staying until your Dad comes back?" I could hear Kid's footsteps behind me as he quickly caught up to me.

"No," I simply declined as I unlocked the front door.

"Then what about staying with you for dinner so you don't have to eat alone?" He wasn't going to give up was he?

"Hmmm…" I paused for a minute as we both entered my house and he closed the front door behind him. I didn't want to let him have his way, but I didn't really want to eat all by myself again tonight, "I'll think about it,"

I knew that was a 'yes' to him as he smiled to me and cupped my cheek, before he kissed me lightly and made me blush deeply and turn away from him. He really was an annoying guy sometimes, but he was my annoying guy.

Kid and I spend most of the afternoon in my room, talking and joking about random things, while we sat on my bed together. At one point of the conversation I had been laughing for quite a bit at something Kid had said, and as my laughter died down and I looked to his smiling face, a warm feeling washed over me.

Why couldn't my friends see how nice and kind he really was deep down, he had hurt me in the past by playing me for a fool when he told me that all those rumours that I had thought to be all just lies, were actually true. Of course he was just kidding around, but I really believed him when he told me all those things that really weren't true in the least. He was different now, he still liked to tease me quite a bit, but he would never go that far again, right?

"Hey, what's wrong?" I heard Kid ask as he brought me out of my thoughts and rested a hand on my shoulder.

I must have been looking anxious since he was looking to me with a slightly concerned look on his face right now.

"You are Kid, I've tried to say nice things about you, but no one believes me, I hate it," I explained as I turned away from Kid, while I heard him just sigh slightly.

"Hey you can't blame them right, rumours like the ones about me never do seem to die down in that school, so you can imagine that it isn't all that easy for those students to believe you over what all those rumours are saying, it's your word against everyone else's really,"

Kid was right, and I hated that even more, "I just wish they could see you like I do," I sighed deeply.

"Hey come here," Kid smiled to me as he pulled me into a tight hug and kissed my forehead lightly.

"Back when you told me that those rumours were true, when I had thought they were nothing but lies for so long. You hurt me, you really hurt me, when I thought that the kind guy that I thought you were had just been lying to me about who he really was, I didn't even know who you were at that point, but I couldn't leave you, while my mind was telling me to dump you and run for the hills, my heart was telling me to stay with you, and I couldn't deny how much I really loved you. So now that you said it was all just you kidding around, it kinda makes me think that it was some sort of test to see if I would still be with you even after you told me all of that," I explained looking to Kid. And by the surprised look on his face I could tell I had guessed right.

"You really are something else Maka," he smiled to me as he hugged me tighter and kissed my cheek, making me giggle a little.

"Just promise me you won't do anything like that again,"

"I promise," I heard Kid whisper with a smile, before he pressed his lips to mine, and I smiled back, closing my eyes and melting into the kiss.

'I really have missed this,' I linked my arms around Kid's neck as I felt him deepen the kiss.

"I love you Maka," Kid said as our lips parted.

"I love you too, Kid," I replied with a bright smile, before I brought him into another tender kiss.

'Maybe I will let him stay over tonight.'
