Chapter 1
Maka's POV
There are always those days that you can forget, but then there are days that can never be erased from your memory. Every detail etched into your mind. Every sound, touch, smell can be recalled just as if it had just occurred. Every moment of that day is always there in your mind, never fading. I have a day like that and let's just start off saying that that day in particular is not one that I care to remember.
My name is Maka Albarn and my life was completely normal until a few weeks ago. I attend school at the DWMA, a school for technicians and weapons. I have been going to school here for two years now, and I have loved nearly every minute of it. I am student whose is at the top of her class. I have a few friends, one of whom is my weapon. Soul is his name. He is a scythe and is the best partner I could have ever been paired with.
Anyway, the day started out like any other day. A loud nuclear alarm went off indicating that I should get up and get ready for school. I remained in my bed for a few more moments before I stretched my arms and legs and got up. Once I was physically out of bed, I continued to complete my normal morning rituals, which consisted of showering, brushing my teeth, and getting dressed. As always, I was dressed in my normal attire. I wore my white collared dress shirt and red plaid skirt. Over my shirt, I had on a yellow vest and green striped tie. I also decided to wear my black trench coat and white gloves. I was fall and the temperature appeared to be dropping. I had put my ash blond hair in pigtails just like when I when I was a kid. Wearing my hair like that always reminded me of my mother. She would always put my hair in pigtails.
I stepped out of the bathroom and walked into the hallway and towards the kitchen. Once I got to the kitchen, I had noticed that there was a note on the table. It was addressed to me, so I opened it and started to read it.
Maka,
I am going to be out of town for a couple of days. My brother, Wes, asked me to come and hangout for a few days. He literally just asked me last night, while you were sleeping. I didn't want to wake you and get Maka chopped, so that is why I left the note. Sorry, but I won't be home until Saturday. Don't worry, I informed the school and got all of my school work ahead of time. Have a nice and peaceful few days without me.
-Soul
"Well, I guess I am going to be alone for the next few nights. Looks I will get plenty of reading done," I said aloud to myself. I set down the note and realized that because Soul wasn't here that I didn't have make and extravagant breakfast, so I grabbed and apple and headed out the door towards the school.
As I walked to school, I felt a little thankful to have a little alone time. The air was brisk and the fog was starting to dissipate as the sun was starting to shine through. It was a little chilly and I was glad to have worn my coat. It was odd walking alone on the cobble street so early in the morning. There was nobody in sight. It seemed a little odd to me, but I just continued on my merry way. Finally, I reached the long set of stairs that reached up to the school. After climbing, for what seemed to be forever, I was at the top facing the school. I noticed several students just hanging out and talking. There were a few others who were meditating and reading. I just kept on walking until I reached my class.
In my class, several students were already there. My friends, Black*Star and Tsubaki were already there. I set down my books and sat in my desk waiting for class to start. Finally, my friends, Kid, Patty and Liz, also walked in followed by our teacher Professor Stein.
"Alright, class, calm down. Let's get started," Professor Stein said in his normal, monotone voice. "Today, we are going to be doing another dissection." Everyone started moaning and groaning at his statement. It seemed like if we weren't preparing for a very important battle, then we were doing dissections during our classes. I really didn't mind. I always learned a lot when doing a dissection, even though I would never admit it. I loved learning. It was like a game. I was always able to see how much I had truly learned when I took a test and it always took time and energy to get a good score on a test.
The bell rang, allowing the class to leave for lunch. Once, I was in the cafeteria I was immediately confronted by Black*Star, who was might I add standing on the table.
"Maka! I, the great Black*Star, demand to know where Soul is?"
"Yeah, Maka. Where is Soul? I haven't seen him at all today. Is he sick?" Liz asked with a concerned look on her face.
"Soul went out of town for a few days. He said he was going to visit his brother."
"Oh, well he was too good to tell his God where he was going then."
"He didn't really tell me either. I woke up this morning and he was gone. He left me a note on the table. Soul said he would be back on Saturday."
"Good thing he is coming back because on Sunday we are playing some basketball!"
"Oh, great!"
Lunch was pretty uneventful following that conversation and once again I was on my way back to class. I was sort of in a daze, while walking about the hallways of the school. Not paying attention to anything in particular. All of a sudden, I was on the floor.
"Ow. How did I end up down here?" I stated rubbing my back as I stood up rather confused.
"Maka! Are you alright?" asked a very familiar voice.
I looked up to see my father, Spirit, standing there staring at me like an idiot. I hated what he had done to my Mama. He was such a womanizer, bringing home different women every night. Also, he tended to drink an awful lot. He always seemed to be up to some sort of drunken shenanigans. But he is my dad and I love him. He makes mistakes, just like everyone else, but I would never tell him that.
Finally, I respond to his question. "Yeah, I'm fine. I guess I wasn't watching were I was going."
"I am glad you are alright. Anyway, I have a question for you."
"Okay, what is it?" I asked curiously.
"I heard that Soul was out of town for a few days and wanted to know if you would come over for dinner tomorrow night. Please?" he begged.
"I guess so," I said reluctantly.
"Great!" He squealed in delight. "I will see you then."
I returned to class and yet again we were doing another dissection. The school day ended and I returned home for a nice quiet night filled with reading and studying.
This is my first fanfic! This story is more therapeutic than anything. It helps me get my mind off things. I apologize for any spelling and grammatical errors. And if my story sucks, which I am sure it does, like I said before I am writing this more for me than anything.
