I woke up as my alarm clock went off. Knowing Soul, he was probably asleep right now since it was only ten. It was a Saturday morning and everyone had decided on a friendly game of basketball, considering that I was going to show off my new skills at basketball. None of my friends knew what I had been doing for the past few weeks except for the Death Scythe, Justin Law. He'd been teaching me how to play ever since the day that Soul's team had pawned my team and made me go on a father/daughter day with Spirit. I got up after hitting the snooze button and yawned deeply then ran to my closet to pick out what I was gonna wear.
"What to wear, what to wear.." I hummed to myself, deciding against my usual outfit. After digging through my closet for what seemed like hours, I finally found an outfit that would be perfect for today. 'This'll definantly impress him!' I thought as I blushed slightly. I quickly changed then covered it with another shirt so that everyone would be surprised when I took the top shirt off.
"Morning, Maka," Blair said as she walked into my room in her cat form. I picked her up and sat down, laying her gently on my lap so I could pet her.
"Morning Blair. How are you this morning?" I asked, not really realizing that I was being nice to the big-boobed lady who gave my weapon partner a nosebleed almost every day.
"I gave Soul another nosebleed." Blair prepared for a Maka-chop but nothing came, only the soft strokes on her fur with my right hand. She looked up and noticed me staring out the window. "Maka, are you alright? I said I gave Soul another nosebleed, and you didn't Maka-chop me, nyah." She whined as if she wanted me to hit her.
"Hm? Oh, I don't mind.. Just thinking about something right now." I hummed to a song that Justin had let me listen to after our practice session for the game today.
"Maka, something's wrong. You usually would've Maka-chopped me and then Soul!" Blair then noticed the look in my eyes and she picked up on what was going on almost instantly. "So, who is it that you like, my dear Maka, nyah?" Blair purred, then she jumped off my lap and trasformed into her usual look.
"Ah, no one important. But, so long as you swear not to tell anyone, I'll tell you who it is that I like." I looked at Blair with a somewhat dreamy look on my face. She crossed her fingers over her heart, raised her right hand, and said; "I swear." So I told her.
"No way! Maka isn't he a little to old for you? And do you know if he even likes you back? What if he doesn't? When are you gonna confess? Maka, tell me everything!" Blair gushed about, now knowing who I liked.
"In order, he's only a year or two older, I don't know if he likes me back, if he doesn't like me back, at least I tried, and I'm going to confess after the game today. But only if he's there!" I said quietly, not knowing where Soul was in the small appartment at the moment. Then I heard the sound of water running and I realized that he was in the shower. 'Thank god he didn't hear that, I'd be so embarassed.' I thought to myself.
"Good, good. Do you want Blair to come with you for good luck?" Blair asked. I nodded, then said that she could only come if she stayed in her cat form. "I'll stay in my cat form, nyah. I promise."
"Alright. Now get out so I can finish getting ready!" I pushed her out of my room lightly then closed the door and locked it. All I had left to do was to put on a little make-up like I usually did before seeing him and I had to choose some shoes. 'Black and white converse or my regular boots or my neon pink converse?' I asked myself. 'How about my black and white converse? They'd go perfect with this outfit. Oh! And for my make-up, how about light gray eye shadow?' I finally decided and finished getting ready. Then I walked out of my room and into the bathroom so I could put my make-up on and mess with my hair to make it perfect. For my hairstyle I decided to curl a bit of the ends so it seemed as if I'd had my hair braided.
"Maka, hurry up or we're gonna be late!" Soul complained through the door. I tapped the door twice and Soul grumbled something incoherent. "Alright, two minutes. Thats it!"
I smiled. "Alright, Soul." After two minutes I was out of the bathroom and halfway to the door. Soul was already standing there waiting for me. "Let's go."
"Woah, uhm, alright." He shrugged, feeling a nosebleed start to come on as he noticed Maka's outfit. 'She's actually wearing make-up. What the hell?' He thought to himself. "We'll take the motorcycle since that'll be the fastest way there, alright?"
"Fine, but I'm not wearing the helmet because it'll mess up my hair." I pouted. He sighed and agreed. I skipped down the stairs happily and got on the motorcycle. "Oh yeah, I'm driving too. I wanna impress someone." I said as I started the motorcycle and Blair hopped up onto my lap.
"Don't forget me, Maka!" Blair said as she dug her claws into my legs to keep from falling off. I didn't say ow but I did flinch a bit at having the claws digging into my legs. Soul climbed on and before he even got his helmet on, we were speeding towards the park. It was 11:57 in the morning and we only had three minutes to get there. I didn't mind concidering the speed that we were going at. We'd be there in no time. I spun at the last corner and stopped the bike just infront of Black Star who was boasting about how he was going to surpass God one day.
"Oh sh- Oh hey Maka." Black Star said, a hint of horror in his voice and in his eyes. I shrugged, said "hey" and pushed Blair off my legs where she had left welts.
"We ready?" I asked, then looked around quickly, making sure everyone was there. From what I could tell, we were missing only one person. And that person happened to be right behind me. He lightly placed his hand on my shoulder and I twitched, quickly spinning around. "Ah.. H-Hello." I mumbled as I realized who it was.
"Hello, my dear Maka. How are you this fine day?" He asked as he smiled and kissed my hand. I blushed and looked at him. He wasn't wearing his usual attire, which was a very unusual thing for him. Today of all days he had decided to wear a black undershirt, and some gray sweat pants.
"I'm fine. And how are you?" I asked him, taking my hand away slowly.
"Doing great. Let's play now, alright?" We all nodded, but Liz pulled me away from the group for a moment.
"Maka, you like him, don't you? Tell me the truth! I am your best friend." She glared at me then turned towards the guys. "You guys have a match against each other, us girls gotta talk about something for a moment." The guys all agreed and she motioned for Patty, Kim, Jaqueline, and Tsubaki to come over here. Blair was already there so it didn't matter. "Now answer, Maka, do you like him?"
"Yeah, answer truthfully too." Jaqueline and Kim said together.
"Alright, alright. You caught me. I do like him. So what? It's not my fault that he's cute, and dreamy, and nice.." I trailed off when I looked at the girls' faces then looked behind me. And who do you think was there? Why, the boy I like.
"Do you really think that, Maka, my dear?" He asked, his voice slightly husky after beating the other boys a bit too quickly.
"Y-Yeah."
"Hm. Well, I think the same way about you." He murmured then pulled me into a deep kiss. The girls all said "Aw" and the boys all went "Ew.." I quickly pulled away then ran to the court.
"C-Come on, let's play the game of basket ball now." I grabbed the basket ball and everybody walked over, seeming to have already forgotten the little kiss incident. It was really true, I really did love Justin Law.
