Maka looked forward with her pupil absent emerald eyes. snow silently fell around her, and she contemplated things.

A simple park lay behind her. She sat on a simple park bench. she wore a simple black jacket. Simple earmuffs. A simple expression lay on her face. A simple river beyond the cold, tall, simplistic trees was frozen over solid, a layer of white, dull dust covering everything in sight. This snow turned Maka's surroundings quite simple.

They were simple to understand.

Why wasn't everything this way? Things would be less difficult to deal with.

If I never met you...

Maka fell into thought for the millionth time, a snowflake landed on her now closed eyes. It became liquid and dissolved as quickly as it had appeared.

I wouldn't feel this pain now.

The emptiness and sadness that I've come to embrace regularly.

My eyes would be dry on occasion.

I would grin.

I probably wouldn't have lost my father's trust.

"Ah..." Maka heard footsteps in the distance. They seemed to be coming closer, but their sounds of crunching snow faded once again into the distance. she slouched but a smidge more on the cold, plain bench.

However,

If I hadn't met you, I wouldn't have been able to understand the meaning of trust,

of friendship.

All those happy times.

the blessed feeling I got in the morning,

when I realized what I had,

and what I could become.

Maka stood and strayed her eyes from the simple, bleak sky, for the thing the clouds covered was not as simple as she forced it to be in her mind. The sky, her heart, her eyes betrayed her. And she looked to the dark grey sky, standing, and giving her tears a longer way to fall before being lost in the winter's ground.

I'll continue to keep a façade up.

I'll show you I'm stronger.

I'll look to you, Soul.

To the sky.

"Lunch time!" Maka sang quietly to herself.

She sat at her desk in the classroom, Liz and Tsubaki following suit.

"You know, Maka, when you sing like that you sound so innocent and tiny. That can't be too good when you're already so small. You have no sex appeal like that." Maka sweatdropped and sat down her nicely wrapped lunch she had prepared for herself this morning.

She looked to the side, blushing. "You.. You think?" Maka thought for a moment. It was true, she hadn't grown since the start of junior high... She was(in secret) very self-conscious about this, and had, in fact, tried many ways to grow. Not only was she short, she was small boned, and flat chested. She tried wearing make up, but it always looked wrong on her face.

It's been three months since I started highschool at Shibusen.. I do want to change, but it all seems useless.

Liz always seemed so mature, Maka noted. She got all the guys she could ever want.

"And now that we are in highschool," Liz squealed, "I can finally get lovey-dovey with the boys~!"

"Be careful, or a mean guy might cheat on you.." Tsubaki politely warned. " You said you didn't always have the best luck with men.."

"Shaddup, Tsubaki. That's why I'm going to try my best now." She fist pumped, a few curls she was wearing bounced, light reflection off od her shiny mascara.

Maka had begun to eat her sandwich, and tried to focus on a book she recently started reading, but her thoughts betrayed her again. Maybe, I should try it out? A boyfriend? I wonder what it's like. Is it warm and fuzzy? What's it like to hold a hand...? I wonder if I'll get a chance to be like Liz someday...-

"Don't fuck around with me,"A harsh voice sounded from the hallway. A few girls Maka didn't recognize from the classroom opened the door in front, and Maka saw two boys. One with blue, spiky hair being grabbed by a white-haired boy, and pinning him up against a wall.

What's going on?

"Come on man, I was joking." The blue haired's hands were in the air, his head turned away from the taller one.

"Try saying that again." The other one growled, "I won't let you off so easily next time." He then promptly stalked off.

A fight between two guys.

"Ah, I know that guy.." Liz exclaimed from behind them. " I heard he was a delinquent, his sister even had a gang! What's his name again..?" She touched her bottom lip with her fork. "And the other guy, He's a player!" She grinned.

I don't like trouble makers like that.. Maka felt quite uneasy. This feeling was amplified when Liz dragged her out to the hall.

"Ah, sorry about that." The guy with blue hair walked over to us.

A player...

.
"I looked so lame there, even though I'm the most badass guy out there. I was just trying to tease him by letting down my guard." He sounded a little... Egotistical? That was the word.

"Black Star?" Liz asked. It seemed she had remembered his name.

"Yes, my pupil?" A vein in Maka's head twitched.

"I heard you were pretty famous around here," She said to him, infatuated.

"Why dont' we exchange cell numbers?" He leaned towards her, knowing she's agree in a heartbeat. suddenly, he turned to Maka. "How about you too?"

"N-no.. I.." Maka shied away, not sure how to deal with the situation.

"You don't want to?" Black star whined. "How come?"

He's so stubborn...

So today I learned about a scary guy and a player.. If only guys like this exist, I'll never be able to meet anyone special.

"Wow Liz, to think you accepted the number from him.." Maka and the others were walking home down the streets.

"It's alright, he's my type!" She grinned and flipped her cell shut after looking at the contact again.

"Maybe this is why Liz has bad luck with guys.." Tsubaki whispered to me, Liz smiling back at us.

Maka thought of how amazing Liz was. She was so... straight forward and strong. She wondered if she would ever stop being a shy kid who does nothing but study.

She noted how boring it always is at home, forget infuriating. with her mother out, and her father always out or drunk and whiney, all there was to do was read. She had no siblings(that she knew about) and Spirit would have a fit knowing there was a little animal stealing his daughter's affection he never had to begin with...

So she sat at home and read.

Just like normal.

Maka's phone buzzed, it was probably Tsubaki wanting help on the math homework. She set down her pencil and grabbed her cell, flipping it open and pressing it to her ear.

"Hello?"

"Hey, it's me, Black Star!" Maka sat there, shocked. "I got your number from Liz, and I was wondering if I could call you now and then?" Black Star? Liz had betrayed Maka.

What's all this about?

Maka shut her phone and set her phone very gently, as far away from her as possible.

Why hello.

This here just happens to be my first Soul Eater fanfiction. I have strayed from my FMA fandom to write here today.

I feel quite poetic now, If you couldn't tell.

This story is based on a manga(I doubt any of you have heard of it). The manga is in progress, but there is a movie and live action drama about this story. I wanted to write this story about Soul Eater to show you how good a serious manga can be, and tweaking the plot to fit these characters seems just about perfect. I've dealt with the main theme of this story(which will be shown MUUUUUCH later) for a good part of my life. So let me share with you a badass story... Bum bum bum... OF LOOOOVE! *electric instruments play loudly in background*

It's funny, The characters match up so well comparatively. Maka playing Mika, Soul playing Hiro, the characters fit so wellxD

P.S. The chapters will be short in content so as I can update faster.

P.S.S. I recommend you do not go looking up this story, unless you can deal with not living this tale to it's fullest^u^

P.S.S.S. despite the heavy nature of this story, I Am not a heavy person^u^ Soooooo I may not convey the dark emotions that are occasional to the T. But hey, a learning experience is the best!

See you in the next installment soon, and by the way I don't own Soul Eater or any of its affiliates. Of course if I could figure out a way to control the author's soul...
