I wanted to make Maka A LOT OOC, because I just had these fluff lines in my head and I wanted to use them. Soul is OOC too, a bit, 'cause it fits in the story... But I'll try to make him more COOL!
I don't own Soul Eater
Chapter 2: Awakening feelings (part 1)
I slowly walked up to the locker that contained my clothes and my bag. I changed out of my gym clothes; later I'll have to give back this match t-shirt I'm wearing, since it's the school's. All this passed before my eyes in a blur. I wasn't able to concentrate on anything, so I somehow managed to put my shirt the front in the back and tried to put my left boot on my right foot. Of course, I quickly rearranged them, forcing myself to concentrate on dressing up and not the hypnotizing look of a certain white haired guy. I pulled out my hair of the high ponytail I arranged it for the tournament, letting my dirty blonde hair fall on my shoulders. I picked up my bag and walked out the girls changing room.
I slowly walked down the labyrinth-like hallways of the school (Shibusen), my feet bringing me to my locker by themselves, since I was daydreaming (and probably looking like a freak with a weird facial expression).
I arrived at my red locker opening it with turning the code-lock. *click!* I took out my homework and stuffed it in my bag, then shuffled down the corridors, getting myself outside, into the April sunshine.
I now let my thoughts go wild, knowing the way I needed to go by heart.
I remembered Soul's gentle REAL smile that made my heart literally skip a beat, I remembered how cute was, when he blushed ... then I suddenly remembered his past... It sounded really rough ' Abandoning a 3 month-old child in a park in winter is unacceptable! Inhuman!' I thought seriously wanting to kick the butt of the person or people who did it.
'He asked me to become his friend...' I thought ' ... I'd love to be his friend. He seems to be a nice person...' I blushed a bit 'I'd also like to know more about Nygus... She seems to be nice too...'
Before I could finish what I was thinking I arrived at home. I lived in an apartment with my dad who was the secretary of my school's principal and arrived usually at 5-6 o'clock pm because of work. My mother… had … died when I was born… I never had the chance to know her… 'I resemble Soul in this way!' I thought.
I went inside the house, still lost in my thoughts, directly going to my room, locking my door and laying down my bed.
Then, I continued my earlier thoughts...
My father always told me stories about him and mom getting into trouble when they were young, all kinds of funny and/or awkward moments that had happened to them. He loved to tell me about mom. He always said that she would want him to tell me about her. He seemed to love her a lot. As an example: ever since mom died he has never dated any woman… until last month.
A month earlier...
One day I came home from school and found Dad sitting on the couch talking to a, seemingly nice, woman, holding her hand…
"Hi, Maka!, said Dad smiling widely at me, Let me introduce you-"
The woman cut him off and smiled at me.
"My name is Blair! Nice to meet you Maka! Your Daddy has told me a lot about you!" she said smiling widely, seriously happy to meet me
I scanned her appearance. My eyes were first caught by the 2 huge balloons that were supposedly her chest, to try to make them look smaller; she had a nice night blue baggy shirt on with a white scarf. She wore light blue skinny jeans and black boots. She had a nice heart shaped face which was surrounded by odd, curled purple hair. She also had yellow eyes... somehow, she reminded me of a cat...
"Um... Hi... um... Excuse me, but who are you?"
She smiled and dad looked at me.
"I guess... You could say that she's my... um... GIRLFRIEND." he looked down, not being able to support my gaze
I was shocked, but I didn't think Blair was a bad person. I wasn't the type of girl who believed that step-mothers or 'daddy's girlfriends' are bad people. I actually knew someone whose step-mother was the nicest person I've ever seen.
Blair looked decent enough for a 30 years-old beautiful woman with big boops. I actually had a feeling I'll have a lot of good moments with her and that we'll get along really well.
"Nice to meet you, Blair. I hope I'll have the chance to get to know you better." I smiled back at her with a real smile
My papa sighted in relief and smiled.
Back from flashback
I heard the front door unlock signalling either Blair or dad getting home ( I locked the door after entering the house).
"Hello! Maka, I have something for you!" yelled Blair excitedly
"Coming!"
I walked out my room and put my hands in the pockets of my red hoodie. I had a short plaid skirt on under it and white sports socks on (since I took off my boots and left them at the door).
"Come here! You need to see what I found today!" she said, as excited as ever
I only smiled at that. She was always this cheerful and I quiet understood why my dad liked her.
"Look!"
She lifted the thick-looking black fabric coat with big gray buttons. In the front it was short, but the back was long, like a cape. 'It would reach my ankles if I was to wear this' I thought.
"I bought this for you, sweetie! Isn't it stunning? Do you like it?"
I nodded, than she continued her rambling.
"Try it on!"
She handed it to me and I slowly slipped in it.
"It's-!" a loud BANG! resonated in the house: the door slamming open
"MAKA! MY MAKA! ARE YOU ALRIGHT?! I GOT A MESSAGE FROM THE NURSE!"
Dad came running in, but somehow stopped in mid-air.
"K-Kami?!..." he stuttered
"Um... Dad? I'm Maka."
He stayed there for about a minute, one leg lifted up, his two arms stopped in mid-air each side, in a position that a normal person would've fallen a long time ago.
"Oh., was his only answer, It's just that... for a moment... you looked like your mother... in that coat..." he looked down at his feet, standing there silently
"Actually Spirit... What about the nurse's call you got? You know, the one that made you barge in, almost breaking the door?" asked Blair
His head shot up and ran towards me, grabbing my arms. He scanned my whole head for another minute.
"What exactly happened?... You've got a bump over there." he said, gently touching it
"I fell face first on the ground, while running in the match. In the nurse's office I got an ice pack on it and now it doesn't hurt anymore."
I figured that I shouldn't tell him about Soul, because telling dad that I spent time alone in the same room with a guy, would mean the instant death of the guy in question... not to mention that I got pretty close to that one male...
...That boy made my heartbeat quicken and took my breath away... I felt like in heaven while staring into his eyes... Doesn't this sound too sappy?
"Oh." he answered the second time
The Next Day
"Maka! That coat is super cute on you!" squealed Tsubaki... She only did that when something was REALLY cute, so I could trust her on that
"Thanks. Blair got it for me yesterday."
"WHAT'S SO BIG OF A DEAL ABOUT A COAT, WHEN YOU HAVE A GOD LIKE ME BESIDE YOU?!" shouted the annoying blue haired male, whose name was Black Star
I can't believe it! How can he be so... Ugh! ANNOYING?!... Maybe because he's a year younger than me?... Hmm... Maybe...
I sometimes wonder if his brain is bigger or smaller than a peanut... Hmm... Probably smaller...
