"I'm not accepting an arranged marriage!" Kid yelled at the top of his lungs after his father showed him pictures of women.

"Kid, you must find a mate for when you take over my position in Death City." Shinigami-sama said trying to get his son to relax.

"But why can't I choose my own wife for the future?" Kid asked trying to stay calm.

"Kid-kun, arranged marriages have been passed down by royalty for over centuries and I want us to follow that same tradition. I'm trying to choose what is best for you." Shinigami-sama said distressed by his son's argument.

"Father I'll let my heart choose what's best for me." Kid said storming out of the Death Room as his father called for him to come back. Kid continued down the corridor with an unspeakable intent that he must fulfill by himself. Everyone saw his rage as they edged out of his path except for one person that didn't realize it. A low scream was heard along with the sound of books thumping against the hard floor surface. There sat a girl in fear covering her head. Kid gazed at her in disbelief for what he had done.

"I'm so sorry. Here let me help you" Kid reached down to pick up a book when his hand brushed up against hers. He recoiled just as she did just as his heartbeat increased. She held her hand close to her chest, flushing a shade of pink. He examined her looks starting with her light pink hair then gazing into her baby blue eyes. Her body was very slender, but in the shape of an hour glass which provoked the shinigami to grasp her by the waist. She was perfect for him.

"Chrona, are you alright?" A familiar voice said running up to the scene. Maka ran up to where Kid and Chrona were sitting and helped pick up the books.

"Kid, help us out." Maka was flustered by the situation as she helped.

"Could she be the one?" Kid thought to himself when he handed Chrona some of the books.

"T-Thank you Maka, thank you Kid-kun." She bowed her head multiple times and scurried off around the corner. Kid was deep into thought until he saw her peak around the corner at him. He snapped out of his mental thoughts as he felt his heart race again.

"What is this feeling?" Kid thought to himself, placing his hand on his chest. He never felt this feeling before towards a person as he normally does towards symmetry. He began to walk of in amazement, questioning himself in thought.

"Hey Kid, do mind telling me what's wrong?" Maka asked curiously as she caught up with him.

"Sorry, but I'm afraid I can't tell you Maka." Kid continued as Maka walked with him.

"What ever it is I can always help you." Maka gave Kid a smile once they entered their classroom. Kid sat down in between his two partners Liz and Patty and Maka sat next to Tsubaki, assuming that Soul and Black Star were skipping class. Once the class begun Stein rolled into the room to the center of the floor.

"I would like to introduce a student to this class room. She may not be new, but she's new to this classroom." Stein said catching Kid's attention.

"Could it really be her?" the shinigami repeatedly thought as his adrenaline surged throughout his body. She walked into the room carrying her books towards Stein.

"This is Chrona. She transferred here not long ago, please introduce yourselves later." Stein let her continue to her seat as he twisted his screw. She struggled to find a seat when she heard a familiar whisper across from her. Maka waved her arm in the air, signaling Chrona to sit with her. Chrona took a seat feeling more comfortable by Maka since they were good friends.

Kid on the other hand was possessed by his feelings. His eyes darted off to where Chrona was just to have that butterfly feeling in his stomach. Chrona tried to stay focus but she had a feeling that someone was watching her. She glimpsed at Kid and felt a little unease with the feeling.

"I don't know how to deal with this." She said to her self in a low voice covering her head. Maka looked over in concern for her friend as the ash blonde girl comforted her through the class until it was time to leave. Black Star and Soul finally revealed themselves when it was lunch time. Maka furiously scolded the boys followed by a Maka chop. The boys winced in pain while walking towards the table. Tsubaki walked in with Chrona seeing everyone at the table. Kid's heart began to race even more after she sat at the table. She held her head down, caressing her arm in embarrassment. Kid felt the need to cheer her up, but Maka returned, placing a hand on Chrona's shoulder to cheer her up. Liz and Patty walked over to Kid, who was being very unusual to them lately.

"Kid-kun, it's not like you to leave us. We always walk together." Liz said as Patty continued to poke Kid's cheek.

"I'm sorry. I've been deep in thought about things lately." Kid explained to the Thompson sisters. The sisters looked at each other then watched Kid.

"Excuse me, I must be going." The shinigami began to leave the table which alarmed the others.

"But Kid, you haven't eaten yet." Maka said trying to make Kid stay a little longer.

"It's alright and besides I'm not that hungry." Kid said heading to the Death Room to speak to his father. Chrona felt a little at ease from the weird feelings she was experiencing.

"By the way Chrona, what was it that you couldn't take?" Maka asked recalling of what happened in class.

"T-These feelings…I never had them before. Every time I see him, my heart beats as twice as fast." She said fearing that they would just laugh at her.

"My guess is that she has a crush on someone in the school. But the question is who?" Soul said stealing a bite from Maka's tray.

"Hey Chrona, how about I help you talk to that person so you can cope with those feelings." Maka said, wanting to assist the pink haired girl. Chrona wasn't so sure about the help, but she looked up to Maka so she agreed to work with her.
