Angel's POV

I dressed in my usual outfit, a black tank top with a fishnet sleeve on only my left arm, my denim shorts, red belt, black and red diamond thigh-high on the right, red and black striped thigh-high and the left, and my black converse. I clipped back my black bangs with two red hair clips and ran through the door. The walk to the DWMA was going to be long.

On my way to the academy, I stopped in front of a huge mansion. A boy and two girls came out the door. Stupid rich kids. When the boy noticed me, I kept walking.

I finally arrived at the school and went straight to the Death Room. "Lord Death?" I said cautiously. Lord Death turned around and walked up to me.

"May I help, you young lady?" he asked me in his goofy voice.

"Yeah, I enrolled here. My name is Angel." I told him. Lord Death nodded his head at me.

"Ya, ya. I remember now. You're in class Crescent Moon."

"Okay, thanks."

I left the Death Room and found my down the winding hallways until I came to a red door with a sign on it that read 'Class Crescent Moon'. I knocked on the door gingerly. A man with silver hair and weird stitched clothing answered. "You must be the new student. I'm Professor Stein. Come in." I sighed and walked into the classroom. Professor Stein was back at his desk. "Everyone, we have a new student. Her name is Angel and she does not have a partner. I can see why, with her soul." he explained.

"Yeah, yeah. Tell my life story, why don't ya?" I told him sarcastically. Everyone stared at me and the professor seemed taken aback by my words. I was sure no one talked to him like that before. He shook it off and spoke very sternly.

"You can have a seat next to Kid. Kid, stand up, so Miss Angel knows where you are." I turned to the row of desks and saw a boy with three white stripes on the left side of his black hair stand up. Oh, no. He's that kid I saw at the mansion. I have to sit next to some snobby rich boy. I sucked it up and walked up to the row Kid was in. I just hoped he didn't try to talk to me. "Hello, I'm Kid. Welcome to the academy. I saw you this morning when you walked by my house" Kid said. Oh great.

"Hi. I'm done talking to you." I deadpanned. Kid seemed shocked. He cleared his throat.

"Your name definitely doesn't describe your personality…"

I smirked when he said that. He was right. But how was I supposed to be a perfect little angel if I had grown up with no adults around since I was seven? The way I dressed should have already given notice about that. "Look, I'm not here to make friends. I don't know about you, but, I'm here to be a powerful meister. I appreciate you being nice, but I'm not. So deal with it or disappear." I told him.

"I can deal with it." Kid said as he smirked. Okay, so maybe not all rich kids are snobby. I suppose I could get used to him.

After Class

I emerged from the school and sat down on the steps. Somebody tapped me on the shoulder. I turned around and saw Kid with the two girls behind me. "Hi Angel. This is Liz and Patty, my weapons." Kid said and sat down next to me. I waved casually to them and stared at my feet.

"Hey, Kid. Patty and I are gonna go talk to Tsubaki and Maka." Liz reported. Kid nodded his head and they left. There was silence between us. Kid soon broke that precious silence.

"So, you don't have a partner?"

"I had a partner. I left her years ago." I grimaced at the sour memory of Atami. Kid gasped

"Why? You're never supposed to leave your partner."

I sighed. "I'll tell you some other time." I said and got up to leave, but he grabbed my wrist. I turned back. "What?"

"I'm having dinner tonight with a few friends at my house. Would you like to come? Maybe you tell me about your old partner then." Kid said. I was shocked. We just met and he's inviting me to his house. I thought about it for a second.

"Maybe." I told him. Kid let go of my wrist. He seemed a little upset. I paid no attention and left.

Once back to my house, I actually thought about going to Kid's house for dinner. I checked the cabinets. Nothing. Then fridge and freezer. Again, nothing. Okay, I'm going to Kid's house. Then, grocery shopping.

At Kid's House

I arrived at Kid's house around 9:30. I knocked on the big black door and waited for someone to answer. "Hi Angel! Kid said you weren't gonna come, but you did!" Patty said as she answered the door. She gestured me in and led me to the dining room. I counted five people, not including Patty. They all stared at me. "Hey, everybody! Angel's here!" Patty exclaimed. They all went back to their food except Kid.

"I'm glad you came, Angel. Have a seat." Kid said and pointed to a chair next to a boy with blue hair. I sat down awkwardly and stared at my plate. Maybe I shouldn't have come anyways…

"Angel, why don't you tell us about your old partner?" Kid asked. I looked up and everyone was looking at me again.

"Only if everyone doesn't stare at me for once." I said flatly. Everyone looked away except the kid next to me.

"I don't mind if people stare at me. Who wouldn't stare at such a big star like me!" he shouted. I rolled my eyes. Kid looked back at me again.

"So, Angel, tell us about her." he begged. I sighed.

"Well, a couple years ago, I had a partner, Atami. She was a good partner, my best friend even. But she was different. Different around everyone else but me. Around everyone else, she was somebody I didn't know, didn't want to know. She was this snobby girly-girl who thought she was better than everyone. Atami fooled me, everyone actually. She used Soul Protect to make it seem like our soul wavelengths matched perfectly. They did a little in reality, enough for me to pick her up. I can see souls. But only a little bit. And once when she was at my house, she thought I was sleeping and took off Soul Protect. I saw her true soul then. I made her leave my house. No, I made her leave my life. I didn't want a partner who pretended to be something they're not. Or one who lied to me all the time."
