I sat there looking out the car window, thinking about how I was suppose to tell everyone everything without, well, seeming too happy.
Tsubaki and I were on our way to pick up the Thompson sisters, Tsubaki insisted on driving so I just sat there in the passenger seat. We approached Kidd's place and we saw Patti pointing and laughing at Kidd and Liz as they were fighting over something. When we pulled up into the driveway we figured out what it was all about.
"No! Your not symmetrical! The other side of that shirt does NOT have a sleeve! Your not leaving until you fix it!" Kidd yelled, waving his arms franticly in the air.
"Kidd, I don't have time for this," Liz sighed, sliding into Tsubaki's car next to Patty, who was still giggling. "Look Kidd, the no sleeve thing is part of the style of the shirt, it wouldn't be cute if it had two sleeves, so get over it, besides, it has your favorite number on it, dosen't that count for something?" Liz reasoned, closing the car door
"No! you mustn't put a number such as eight with beautiful symmetry and put it on a savage shirt such as that!" Kidd yelled
Liz just rolled her eyes and said, "Look Kidd, you don't have to see me and I don't have to see you so this shouldn't bother you, go hang out with the guys and bye the time you get home I'll have something else on, okay?"
"…..Fine…" Kidd mumbled
"Good, okay Tsubaki, step on it!" Liz yelled. Tsubaki just laughed and drove off calmly.
When we got to the mall I explain the drill, which was just I really needed to update my style.
"Its about time." Liz joked "We thought you were going to be 55 and still be wearing plaid mini skirts and pig tales."
"Ha haa" I said sarcastically.
"Well, what are we waiting for?" Patty cheered, and pulled my arm towards Rue21. "This is one of my and older sis's favorite stores!"
"Oh, I've been in here before…" I trail before I see the cutest outfit ever.
Tsubaki and Liz saw my gawking at it and stood at each of my sides.
"Is that the one you want?" Liz asked
I nodded
"You sure?" She asked again smiling at me.
I nodded again
"Okay, Its cute, you have good taste Maka." Liz said as she put it into a basket, Tsubaki just smiled kindly.
"Now lets see what it looks like on you." Liz suggested.
"Uh, okay." I said, searching for a dressing room.
I spotted one and went in it, Patti gave me the outfit and I put it on. I examined myself in the mirror and smiled. It was a loose, royal blue blouse with floral design on it with navy blue skinny jeans. Blues looked good on me, they made my eyes, skin tone and hair color pop, I liked it.
I stepped out of the dressing room and looked at my friends for there opinions.
"Well?" I said, hoping they liked it as much as I did.
Patti looked at me weird then smiled mischievously at me. I swallowed hard as she walked towards me and dragged me into the dressing room.
"What're you doing Patti?" Liz asked, suspiciously
"Be careful with her!" Tsubaki said, worry in her voice.
Patti didn't answer, she just looked at me and mumbled something along the lines of 'stay still', and started messing with my hair, I freaked out when I saw hair, my hair fall onto the floor. I looked up and saw her with scissors.
"Wh-where'd you get those!" I vociferated.
Once again, no reply, she just snipped away at my poor, poor hair.
When she was done she pushed me out of the dressing room. When I looked up I saw Tsubaki and Liz staring at me wide-eyed with there jaws almost hitting the floor.
"What?" I said with a hint of panic in my voice.
"You look so!...different" Tsubaki said, smiling.
"Is that a good thing?" I asked, hoping it did.
"Yeah! You look so pretty! That word doesn't even cover it!" Liz said tackling me into a hug. I laughed in relief and I thanked patti after looking in a mirror. It was pretty much the same cut as my original but with layers and my bangs were slanted-wait, did she give me a razor cut? How'd she get a razor! Why does she have one! I thought as a changed back into my other clothes and bought the items I wanted.
Two hours and twenty minutes later, we were out of that store and went through Aeropostale and Hot Topic.
Patti's stomach growled, well, more like roared, and stared at her along with some other people that heard it.
"I think it's lunch time." She giggled, and skipped towards the lunch area. Naturally, we followed.
We agreed on a place to eat and got our food then sat down at a spot that Liz found. The table in front of us was full of cute guys. I blushed when I saw them because I was just wearing sweats and a semi- tight t-shirt, nothing cute at all.
"So Maka, what is it that you needed to talk to us about?" Tsubaki asked, trying to lighten up the mood but failing.
"Uh…..How do I put this…" I muttered, then I thought for a second.
I sighed and looked at them.
"Remember Soul?" I began.
"What did that punk do to you this time!" Liz growled, standing from her seat abruptly.
"Nothing! Well… That doesn't matter – erm, well actually it does… But anyways, Okay. Uuugh!" I rambled, then I facepalmed and took a deep breath. "Liz, well, guys, when I tell you what happened you can't get too mad okay? Just wait for me to finish please?" I said, giving them puppy eyes.
"Fine…" Liz muttered
"Okay~" Patti Sang
Tsubaki just nodded, flashing me the; It's going to be okay smile.
I took a deep breath and began the story.
"You see, this morning I ran into Soul and he (Tells rest of story, don't wanna type all that )"
"HE DID WHAT!" Liz screamed, interrupting me, I had gotten to the part where I laid my head on my desk and cried."
"Liz! I told you to wait till the end!..." I whined, blushing because the cute guys were looking at us like we were crazy.
So much for the chance of them asking one of us out… I thought, face plaming once more.
"As I was saying, after that I was rushing home and ran into him, I thought he was going to give it to me some more but guys, he apologized! He never apologizes, and he turned so red! I've got some serious dirt on him, cause I don't think stuttering and blushing is 'cool', ha ha!"
When I looked back at everyone, they were gawking at me.
"What? Was it something I said? Is there something on my face?"
"No, nothings on your face, it was something you said though…" Tsubaki trailed
"Ooooh Maka~" Patti teased, nudging me in the side and winking at me.
"What! I don't get it!.." I yelled, blushing and playing stupid.
"Soul and Maka sittin' in a tree, k-i-s-s-i-n-g~" Patti sang and giggled.
"What!, sh- shut up!" I said, slapping my hand over Patti's mouth. "No he doesn't!" I Yelled blushing even more.
"Well, I, think he likes you!" Liz laughed
"W-whatever…" I muttered
"Oh gosh! Look at the time!" Tsubaki gasped "I've gotta get home to Black Starr! Sorry guys…"
"Its okay, we're done here, lets go." Liz said grabbing her drink, as did everyone else.
When I got home I collapsed on my bed.
"Its been a long day…" I muttered as I began to drift off to sleep.
I smiled at the thought of him liking me, even though it'd never happen, it's still a nice thought. After all, I'm still undeniably in love with him, and ironically, I'll always will…
