Hi, it's me again, i'm not a really persistent person so, that's probably why I didn't finish my last story, BUT, I will. I think...It's just that no one was really commenting on my last story I had a lot of views, I can tell you that but not a lot of follows or favs. So while I was typing it cuz i was thinking 'already started it might as well carry on' But then I deleted it. (What'd I say not persistent) BUT, after a while i had this big idea and i was picturing the whole thing but so I was like...IT MUST BE DONE...It's kind of like a cross-over with If I Stay but I didn't want to put it as a cross-over because no-one would really know it's there...and it's not really a love story but a best-friend tragedy and maybe just a hint of romance, but i'm just making it as i go along. Anyways RandR and Follow or Favourite please...Bye!


Isn't it amazing how life's one thing, and in an instant, it becomes something else?


Chapter 1

There was no school today. I suppose that's good. But, it didn't really feel like it was supposed to be one, to be honest I wanted to go to school, I wanted to learn, i'm not really a listening type or learning but I feel as if all of this was because there was no school, all of this was because I hadn't been in a ninety-minuet class lecture. None of this would have happened.

At least people say so.

I was so alone with myself.

With no one. I didn't know what to do. No instructions, nothing.

I was so scared, I was just left with a choice.

To live,

Or die.


I was new to the academy. I was a meister. It was my dream to go to the DWMA, at my parents jumped at the chance to bring me here, after discovering my ability. After a while I met my meister Liling Moon, now my best friend, were basically sisters now. It wasn't long before we were noticed for how powerful and persistant we were with our missions, and with our soul resonance it was unbelievable for two little fourteen year olds. We were personally sent to the EAT class in class crescent moon. It wasn't long before we met Maka and the others were pretty much family now.

I stare at the sealing on a Thursday morning trying to find pictures in the detailing. I try to fall asleep again but i'm unsuccessful. I check my clock. It's 5:10. Hmmm, I still have another two hours. What should I do... The sun's barely up yet.''What should I do...'' I say tapping my finger on my lips.

I hop up sitting on my bum still in the bed. ''LILING YOU AWAKE?!'' I scream so it echo's throughout the apartment just to make sure she heard me. Nothing but a moan then silence. She's not going to be leaving her bed for a while now... I hop out my bed and think about starting the day early. I hop out of bed brushing my teeth and washing my face then I start to check the mail. Nope, nothing, nada. No letter from the academy. I applied for an advanced EAT class at the academy, as so as Maka, Soul, Kid, Patty, Liz, Liling, Black*Star, and Tsubaki but the difference is they all made it, if I don't get it, then Liling will get a new partner and I'll be stuck in class crescent moon forever! They all assured me that of course I would get it but, I won't believe until I actually see it. So I stay there looking at our mail slot waiting for it to just magically slip right through our door.

Maybe,

If I stare at the door hard enough my concentration will bring the letter to me, (I recently started testing this out since watching the old classic Matilda.) I didn't even notice I had plopped down on my butt infront of the door, I was too busy concentrating. Concentrate, concentrate,-your not concentrating hard enough you bastard! CONCENTRATE! Suddenly my mind dragged me into the whimsical world of deja-vu. I didn't even remember what I was staring at again, all I knew is that I had done this before...

''Seriously.'' Said a familiar voice.

''What?''

''How long have you been staring at that damn thing Ash?''

''What thing, I don't even remember at what I was staring at, I just know i've done this before...Hasn't this happened already?''

''It sure has, and you were staring at the mail slot again.''

''For what?''

''What do you think.''

I stare for a moment losing myself trying to figure out why, I had done this now, and in the past.

''Has this happened before?'' I ask again.

''Ugh! The letter Ashleigh, you were waiting for the letter damn it!'' The familiar voice, (a.k.a Linling for those of you who haven't translated yet)

I continue to stare.

''But, why? Does the universe count on me staring at the letter?''

''Not at the letter, for the letter and stop annoying me. Anyway, Maka and Soul and BlackStar and Tsubaki-''

''No, I will not move my asset until that thin piece of paper slides through that slot made especially for it.''

''And Kid, along with Liz 'n Patty, are coming to pick us up for school today.'' She smirks stretching out Kid's name to get a catch by me. ''Btw, I can basically hear the heat in your face flaming up, guess I'll just tell 'em your not going.''

''No!'' I blush and pout and cross my arms angry at how easily she got me there. ''I mean, if it is apart of your wishes I will attend the walk towards the school. Hmph.'' I slowly get up but my legs are hurting from the criss-cross position i've been sitting in for about an hour.

''Liling!'' I whine. ''Help me!'' I hear a groan then a thump, then followed by a few stomps towards me. She grabs my arms and hoists me up. ''Thanks bestieeeee'' I say hugging her.

''Whatever,''

''Okay grumpy pants, let's get you your hot chocolate.''

After a while we started talking about the advanced class that everyone tried out for and only 50% of the meisters or weapons made it, we started fantasizing about what it would be like, also you get extra death scythe lessons and ways to get way more souls that just one at a time. Suddenly, I started getting anxious and nervous break-downs a few days after everyone started getting there's, then everybody calls me Death The Girl when I do, which I have to admit I honestly don't mind.

(~ ̄▽ ̄)~ I don't think Kid get's why I don't though.

I start to feel sleepy. I almost fall into to my plate of food then Linling quickly pulls the plate out from under me before it collides with my face and I only meet the hard solid table.

''Ouch.'' I say to tired to emphasize it.

''See, look what you did! Now your tired cuz you were up early staring at the mail slot! There gunna be picking us up in twenty-minuets go get ready!'' She says clicking in to her big sister attitude.

''It's probably *Yawn* just the hot *yawn* chocolate...you know how it...'' Then my voice trails off too slow to catch up to Liling already leaving the table. She carries/ guides a half sleeping me to the bathroom and gets my robe.

''Now, get dressed or the love of your life will see you like this.''

''Liling! Stop!'' I blush. She snickers and walks out the door, closing it behind her.


A few minuets later, I get my hair brushed. Liling's so pretty. She has natural brownish black hair then blonde streaks at the bottom and a nice body. (Chest wise, I have barely anything.) I blush when I look at myself. I have long black hair like Tsubaki's that ends at the end of my back. So dull. I think. I have slight curves just barely though. Liling has dark brown eyes that almost look like black, but change to a brighter brown in the sun, while I have a light hazel color in my eyes and my hair color changes each season, that's why Liling and I think we were secretly related or switched at birth or something like that.

I put my usual uniform on a mahogany skater skirt, long black socks that stop just above my knees, a regular plain jeans blue flannel tucked in with my long flowing hair put to one side. Then I through the mirror straight in my eyes and scream;

Screw off!

Liling's used to it, it's my morning routine anyways. Then, she comes in with her regular, ''your so, weird'' My scream is kind of a sign to her that i'm done using the bathroom.

She's wearing a plaid skirt with a long droopy sweater, with only her fingers popping out from the sleeves, she looks pretty in it though. Then the door-bell rings and my heart jumps. Kid... Liling just sighs.

I'm the first to open the door, Maka's at the font along with Soul, Tsubaki, BlackStar, Liz, Patty and Kid are all behind them.

''Hi, guys!'' It was followed by a jumbled 'Hi/hey, Ash/ Ashleigh' ''Aren't you forgeting something?'' Soul asked, sweating. All eyes were on me, including Kid's. Suddenly, I felt my face heat up. ''Huh? What?'' I start searching my body frantically. Tsubaki was just about to answer until I interrupted ''Wait! Don't tell me.'' There's a moment of thinking then I scream out; ''My birch!'' And run into my apartment. ''You guys can let yourselves in!'' I scream from afar.

''Liling?!Where's my birch?'' I shout from my room looking for the birch.

''I can't find mine either!'' She shouts from the other end of the apartment.

Maka, Soul, Kid, Liz, Patty, Tsubaki and BlackStar all sit in the middle of it. Sweating, watching us dashing up and down the halls looking for our birches. ''I thought I told you to write it down on your wrist were I put mine and remind me to put down were you put yours!'' Liling shouts from the kitchen searching the cupboards. ''Sorry I forgot!'' I say from the bathroom searching the desk.

''S-should we help them?'' Maka asks.

''Nah, lets watch TV.'' BlackStar shrugs.

''Does anyone have a measuring tape?'' Kid says fixing the wooden table in the middle of the room in front of the TV. ''I think it's leaning slightly to the left, What kind of despicable person would do that?!'' Kid says sweating like crazy.

''FOUND IT!'' Liling and I said almost at the same time.

''Were was it?'' Liz asks curiously.

''In the fridge...'' I say itching my scalp in embarrassment.

''Hey what time is it?'' Liling asks Maka.

''Oh, Geez, we need to go it's 7:15! five more minuets!''

Rushing out the door Kid touched my hand.
