I don't know how to deal with this! I can't deal with the strange boy that's obsessed with symmetry and keept trying to cut my hair. The blue-haired star clan descendant that thinks he would surpass God. The white haired boy that reminds me of a shark and keeps trying to steal my friend from me. My emotions for that friend that creep up on me. The teasing I get from Ragnarok about my conflicting thoughts and fear of everything. The guilt of betraying them all once still lays in my mind, even though they forgave me a few months ago.
Now in front of me stand all my new friends, awaiting my decision. They made the mistake of making me a team captain in basketball. What were they thinking? Assigning ME to pick my team?
"Maka, Liz, Patty," I found myself saying.
"No! The only man on this team is me!" Ragnarok whined before giving me the usual punches.
"Shut up," Maka defended me, punching him back. Ragnarok screamed and disapeared.
"Thanks M-Maka.." I smiled. I was still working on my stuttering.
"So appoint positions already!" Soul (the other team captain) shouted.
"P-p-positions? I don't know how to deal with this!" I cried.
"Think of it as symmetry," Kid said.
"How will that help?" Asked Black Star
"I don't know.. I just think of everything as symmetry," Kid smiled.
"Ok do you want me to take over?" Liz sighed. I nodded enthusiastically.
"Maka, defense. Patty, offense. Crona, you can just hang around. I'll probably be the only one acually trying," she assigned our positions. I snuck off to the side and studied my friends. Black Star was trying to show off with his calm partner trying to calm him down. Soul and Kid seemed to be silently fighting, 'probably over Maka', I thought. They were always secretly battling over her, and she didn't even seem to realize it. Liz was trying to make Patty stop laughing long enough to start the game.
The game started and everyone was having a great time. Even Ragnarok was being unusually non-punishing. I just ran around, letting him catch the ball and throw it. Since we weren't really assigned anything, he took it as his duty to do whatever he wanted while I just ran around, trying to follow the ball.
This team won somehow. Maybe due to the fact that Kid freaked out about the nets not being perfectly symmetrical, Black Star's fits when he lost the ball and the only main player being Soul. Ragnarok was boasting about being the main leader and the reason we won, but I thought otherwise, of course. I looked around at my friends who were now all in a circle cheering, and I realized that with them around, I could start trying to deal with things. Of course it would be a slow process and I would need their help a lot, but I might as well try. I mean, who would want to be filled with fear all their life? Not me. I could deal with trying. I could deal with it.
