Aright so a few people are following my story. Thanks you guys! You guys are the ones who kept this story going, not me. Sorry if my writing is awful. I'm going to try to make this chapter longer than the first. So here is the second chapter...
Sunlight slanted through the curtains and landed across her face. Grunting and squinting, Maka looks up and saw the time. 7:35. 'AH! I'm going to be late!' Scrambling out of bed, Maka hurried to the bathroom, washed her face, brushed her teeth, brushed her hair and grabbed some random clothes. Stumbling down the stairs, Maka found her Dad stumbling around with coffee in one hand and his breakfast in another.
"Papa, why didn't you wake me up?" Maka scrambled around for a quick breakfast and a glass of milk.
He looked over in confusion. "Wake you up for what?" He started to take a drink.
"For school," Maka settled down at the table and started to eat quickly.
Spirit coughed and sputtered, "School?"
"Yeah, school! When we first moved here, you signed me into the school and now its time for me to GO to school!" Maka tried to explain, feeling slightly exhasperated. 'A new home, a new school and a new start...great.' "I don't wanna miss my first day, Papa." Maka mentally sighed. This happened everytime they moved. Spirit didn't want Maka to go to school immediatly, afraid that she would be picked on and bullied.
"I thought it would be best if you went to school tomorrow so that we can finish unpacking and have everything organized. I don't think your ready to go to school. I mean look at your clothes! I've never seen you wear all black before," he raises his eyebrows. Maka looks down at herself and noticed that she was indeed wearing all black...and that it was a little snug. 'Oh well." Maka thought, a slight blush forming.
"Well, I'm still going to school. I'll have plenty of time to unpack after school." Grabbing her bag from off the floor she packed yesterday, Maka rushes out the door yelling, "Byeloveyouseeyouafterschool!" Running at full speed to try to make it to the school, hair swishing around her waist, Maka didn't notice her surroundings or that she passed a group of teenagers. Breathing heavily, Maka made it just in time to sign into the office and grab her schedule. Walking out of the room, Maka looked over her schedule. First period: Biology, Room 235. 'Where is that?' Walking among the students, Maka was trying to stay out of everyone's way and not be noticed. Luck was on her side so far today. No one bullied her or even glanced for more than a few seconds. The bell rang and everyone rushed off to their classes.
Walking slower and trying to find the room, she finally found it...twenty minutes late. Walking in to the classroom, all students turned towards her. "Who are you? Why are you late and disrupting me in the middle of class?" A guy with stitches and a screw in his head turned towards her on his wheel chair with a scalpel in one hand. One side of his glasses reflecting the light; smoke drifting up from his cigarette.
'This is so uncool.' Soul thought as he listened to Prof. Stein explain the anatomy of the animal he was about to dissect. Patty was making another giraffe, Liz was doing her nails, Black*Star was laughing loudly calling himself a god while everyone was trying shush him and Kid was still trying to write his name symmetrically. 'Nothing interesting ever happens here.' There was mutterings all around the classroom. No one ever bothered to listen to Stein whenever he was dissecting. It was the same thing everyday. Groaning, Soul laid his head down on his desk. Someone spoke loud enough that Soul heard it from where he was. "Did you hear about the new student?" a female voice asked.
"Yeah. I saw her earlier in the hallway. She was really weird, wearing all black!" The other girl exclaimed.
"I heard that she cuts herself," the first said.
"Really? And she is coming here? Why would someone like that come to school here? Aren't there schools for people like them?" The second complained, irritated. 'You turn into a weapon and your asking that?' Soul smirked
Just at that moment, the doors opened and someone walked in. Stein turned around from his next victim and stares at the person. "Who are you? Why are you late and disrupting me in the middle of class?" Soul lifted his head and looked, bored. He froze, shocked. The person who walked in was the girl the two females where talking about. She had on all black and it fit her a little to well. Her ash-blonde hair hung around her waist with waves weaving in and out. But that wasn't what made him freeze and stare at her. It was her eyes. The same green eyes as the girl from his dream. It was just a dream! But Soul didn't think so anymore. The girl from his dreams was standing right in front of him trying to explain that she was late because she was a new student here. The only difference between the girl from his dreams and the one standing in front of him was her hair. It was longer in reality than in his dream. Soul smirked. 'No way could this be the girl.'
"I'm sorry. But I am new here and I was never given a tour of the place. I will not do it aga-"
Stein started to turn his screw. "No, you won't do it again." He sighed. "Find a place to sit and start taking some notes." Stein turned away in a show of dismissal. She turns and looks for a place to sit. Soul inhaled sharply. 'It IS her!'
Maka turned around to find an empty seat. Only to find everyone staring in wonder, curiosity, and some animosity. One look caught her attention the most. She saw an albino haired, red-eyed boy looking at her in shock, confusion and...recognition? Confused, Maka sat down front, in a corner to be away from most of the students. "Alright. Now back to what we were doing..." Prof. Stein bent over the subject with a sadistic look on his face. Shuddering, Maka took out a notebook and started to wright down some notes. That was when the whispering started. A shy, sweet voice to the side of her spoke, "Hey." Thinking that it wasn't aimed at her, Maka ignored it. "Hey." Then someone lightly tapped Maka on the shoulder.
Maka stiffened. "Yeah...you." Maka slowly turned towards the voice. The voice belonged to a tall girl with black hair high up in a ponytail. Some of the girl's hair was on the left side of her face, almost covering one of her eyes. She had dark eyes and a shy, sweet smile on her face. "Hi! This all must be very new to you."
Maka turned slightly away, nervous. "No, Not really." She talked quietly, honestly.
The girl cocked her head slight to the left. "Really?" She inquired
Maka nods her head. "Yeah, my dad and I move a lot, but he says this time is the last time. That this would be our permanent spot to live." Maka turned away more. She wasn't sure if she liked all the attention the girl gave her. She pulled some of her hair in front of her to cover her face.
"That's great! I bet you were tired of moving and leaving all your friends behind," the girl tried to look her in the eyes. "By the way, my name is Tsubaki...Tsubaki Nakatsukasa. What's yours?"
Maka turned to look at Tsubaki in surprise. "My name is Maka...Maka Albarn." Maka was feeling slightly at ease, nervous and surprised that this girl was randomly talking to her. Maka was used to other girls bullying her and this was new territory for her. Maka was always a loner, staying away from others and reading her books. She never made friends and she never interacted with anyone. Every time that she did interact with someone, they always turned their backs on her.
The bell rang. "So are you having a good first day so far?" Tsubaki asked, while gathering her things.
"Yeah, its ok so far," Maka answered politely. 'Until one of the students decide to start picking on me.' Maka sighed. She was not looking forward to this. Maybe she should of stayed home for another day.
Tsubaki smiled reasurringly. "Well I hope I get to see you later and hang out. Nice to meet you!" Then Tsubaki left with a wave and a smile. Shaking her head, Maka gathered her things and left the classroom with the other students, not feeling up to her next class. That's when everything started. Maka was at her locker, gathering her things when someone pushed her...hard. Maka's head banged against the side of her locker. "OW!" Mumbling curses, Maka rubbed the side of her head and closed her locker. She heard some snickers coming from all around her. Ignoring everyone, Maka turned to go to her next class. Then someone stuck their foot out in her way. Maka was pretty athletic, but she didn't allow her reflexes to kick in. Instead she let them think that she couldn't handle herself and that she was fresh meat to pick on.
Maka stumbled and hit the floor. Laughter erupted all around her. Maka turned her head down so her hair covered her face. She slowly gathered her things again and clutched the items to her chest. She would't fight back, not to protect herself and not to stop the bullying. She made a promise to her parents. 'Don't start fights, don't finish a fight, don't allow others to know how strong you really are.' It was a motto that Maka repeated in her head all the time when others would bully her. Her mom and dad always told her that she was a very special girl, but not to let other's know how special she really was. So, Maka kept her promise.
Maka stood up, walked with her head high and ignored all of the whispering and mumbling all around her. 'Why should I care what other people think of me?' So, the day started out almost normal until lunch started. Between classes, people would shove, hit, and talk loudly about her when she was near enough. The bell rang and the students rushed out of the classroom, ready to eat. Maka slowly gathered her things and walked towards the cafeteria. Maka didn't immediately go in. Instead she hovered around the corner, looking for a dark enough space to sit and eat quietly. Looking everywhere, Maka finally spotted one. Maka hurriedly sat at the table. It was close to the entrance of the cafeteria so no one noticed her.
Or so she thought. She was taking out the lunch she made when she saw someone sit a seat away from her. Maka froze. The person was starting to eat their food, not paying attention to Maka at all. Maka looked up from her food to the person. Tsubaki! Maka let out a relieved sigh. Tsubaki looked over at her in curiosity. "Is something wrong?"
Trying to slow down her heart, Maka answered truthfully. "Just trying to restart my heart is all." Maka put a hand to her heart and breathed deeply.
Tsubaki raised her eyebrows. "Why? Did I scare you?"
Maka squinted her eyes. "Just a lil bit. I didn't expect someone to notice me here. Then you sat here all of a sudden." Maka's heart was beating regularly and her breathing was normal. Then she looked at Tsubaki questioningly. She was quietly eating her lunch. "Why are you sitting here Tsubaki? Why don't you sit with your friends? I bet that they want you to hang out with them than with me."
Tsubaki shrugged her shoulders. "I want to hang out with you because you looked kinda lonely over here. And I also want to be your friend...is that a crime from where your from?" Tsubaki was half joking and half serious. Like she was afraid that Maka would turn her away any second. "If you want me to go I can go if you want me to," Tsuabaki's eyes were sorta hurt but Maka didn't give her a chance. When Tsubaki started to stand up, Maka immediately grabbed hold of her arm and sat her back down.
"No you can stay if you want but I'm not going to force you to sit here," Maka still had her hand on Tsubaki's arm and her head was turned away from her. Tsubaki smiled and sat back down next to her. "So...what are you eating?" Maka was terrible at small talk. She started to eat her own lunch.
Conversations were all around him. But he was only interested in one conversation. The conversation that was in the corner near the entrance to the cafeteria. He had been watching her all day and the only thing he learned about her was her name when he overheard her conversation with the Tsubaki girl. 'Maka...' Black*Star was next to him. "BWAHAHAHA!" Soul glared at him, but it wasn't very effective considering he wasn't exactly serious about it. "C'mon Soul! Lighten up man! It's just a girl, a flat-chested one at that, and it was only a dream. You said so yourself this morning. Think and stare at someone better and more important...like ME! Your GOD!" Black*Star was standing on the table again.
Death the Kid sighed. "Black*Star, how many more times today are you going to stand on a table." Kid was organizing his food to make sure everything was symmetrical. Liz was doing her nails and Patty was making another giraffe but with her food this time. Soul was looking at Maka and Tsubaki. Maka was smiling slightly at whatever Tsubaki was telling her. He wished he could hear what they were talking about. But he never was close enough to her to find anything else about her. He saw the other kids picking on her and he hated it. He didn't understand why either. But he admired how she never fought back and stood up tall even after hearing all the terrible things about her. He didn't know if they were true or not but he did know that she was the girl from his dreams.
Black*Star was arguing with Kid about being on the table. "Black*Star it's not cool to stand in my food." Soul turned to look at his best friend with his shark tooth grin.
Black*Star looked down to see his foot was actually in Soul's food. "WHOA! Sorry bro! Didn't mean to be so Godly that I ruined your food. A GOD like me won't allow his servants to starve! Here have my food Soul!" Black*Star shoved his food towards Soul and sat down on his seat. Soul turned his attention back to Maka's table. Maka was done eating her food. Soul saw her stand up to leave when there was a sudden commotion. Soul turned towards his head towards a group of girls standing up and going to Maka's table. "Wonder whats going on." Black*Star mumbled. Soul shrugged,
Maka was looking at the group of girls walking towards her. Soul thought he saw impatience flash on her face but it was gone before he could get a closer look. One of the girls spoke up, loud enough for the whole cafeteria to hear. "Do you really think that you can come to our school like that and think that your all that without getting away with it? Oh I don't think so. You can't just waltz into out school without getting a few pointers on how this school works." The girl sneered. Maka just looked like she wanted to get out of there as well as bored.
Maka spoke. "If you informing me to being transferred here I couldn't help it. And what's the deal? This is just like any other school I've been to. Same classes and same slutty ass bitches who think their all that by picking on someone new here because they feel insecure." Soul and some of the other students snickered. The girl blushed furiously while clenching her fists in anger. "Now if you'll excuse me, I'd rather waste my time on something more important than you." And with that Maka stood up and turned to walk away.
The girl was furious at her. She looked around, and grabbed something. A chair. Tsubaki shouted, "MAKA! LOOK OUT!" in horror. Maka turned around calmly and watched the girl run up to her with a chair raised high to bang her over the head. The girl swung down and stopped a centimeter from Maka's head.
The girl looked furious and confused. "Aren't you going to defend yourself?" she demanded.
Maka raised an eyebrow. "Why should I? Just because you are going to attack me out of hatred doesn't mean a thing to me. You can beat me down but its never going to change my mind or how I really am. I'll just stand right back up and walk away because it wouldn't be worth my time to strike out at someone different than me." And with that, Maka looked around the room at the students, then left the room without a backwards glance. The girl was looking around at the shocked and humored glances from the other students. "She's gonna pay for that," She told her friends quietly. But Soul heard it from where he was sitting.
Black*Star smirked. "Guess the new student isn't as shy as she appears." Then he glared. "Wait! Why is she getting all the attention around here? I am going to surpass GOD and they are more interested in her than ME! That cannot BE!" Black*Star jumped up from the table and walked off, mumbling the whole way. The bell rang.
"Lunch is over. Let's go back to class and forget what just happened here." Kid stood up with Liz and Patty at his side. "C'mon Soul. It's time to go back to class." Kid looked at Soul and noticed that he was watching where Maka left the room. Sighing, Kid sat back down. "Soul, just forget about her. She's a new student...that's all. Nothing bad is going to happen. It was just a DREAM! That's ALL!" Kid said again.
Soul looked at Kid. "Then why do I get a bad feeling?"
Kid looked at Soul. "Is this because you haven't been able to find someone to connect your soul wavelength with? Soul you'll find your partner. It'll just be a little while before you do." Kid patted Soul on his shoulders sympathetically before he left. Soul sat for a few more minutes before he stood up and left.
*After school*
Maka sighed in relief. The worst first day she ever had. That was the first time she spoke in front of a bunch of students. She was shaking the whole day until school ended. Once school ended and she was out in the fresh air, Maka took a deep breath and visibly relaxed. She started to slowly walk down the long set of stairs. 'I think this is the longest stairway in the world!' Once she finally reached the bottom of the stairs, Maka heard a deep throat-ed laugh. Maka stopped and looked around. She didn't see anyone. She looked left and right; then she looked up and saw the sun. Shocked, Maka stared at the sun to see that sun was moving and LAUGHING! It had eyes, a mouth and spikes all around it. 'I don't remember the sun being like that before!' Maka squinted up at the sun and blinked. 'Yep. Still there, so not my imagination.'
Shaking her head, Maka started her trek home. Head down, rethinking about the incident in the cafeteria today, Maka didn't notice someone in front of her until she rammed into the person. "Ow!" She landed on the ground, rubbing her head and the exact place when someone pushed her into her locker and gave her a bruise. She heard male curses. Maka looked up to see the albino haired boy rubbing his face. Then he looked at her and extended his hand towards her. "Sorry about that Tiny-Tits. Lemme help you up." Maka stared at the hand uneasily. "C'mon. A cool man like me won't let you just sit there without me helping," He smirked and Maka saw he had pointed teeth.
Maka didn't shudder at his teeth. Instead, she was curious about them. She lifted her hand and placed it into his hand. Suddenly, there was a shock when their skin touched. Maka immediately let go and stared at her hand. She looked up to see the same thing on the boys face. Shock...curiosity. He looked at her, dumbfounded. Then, realizing that she was still on the ground, he reached towards her hand again but this time, with his hand covered. Maka grabbed his hand again with her face turned away. He hauled her up. "Watch where your going next time, alright Tiny-Tits?" Maka noticed that he tried to cover up what happened just a few seconds ago.
Maka looked at him with a glare and spoke heatedly. "My name isn't Tiny-Tits! It's Maka!" She turned and walked away with a huff. She heard him walk fast to catch up to her.
He was smiling. "Alright, alright. Don't turn your anger out on me for not knowing your name. Names Soul by the way." He smirked with his hands behind his head. "So where are you going in such a rush anyways?" Soul looked around. Maka smirked. It was obvious that he wasn't used to run down buildings.
"Not that its any of your business, I'm going home. And I don't need anyone to know where I live thank you very much." She turned down a side road away from her house. She didn't need anymore trouble from anyone. Especially from the most popular guy in school. Maka turned towards Soul but didn't look him in the eyes. "Look. I can take care of myself. So why don't you just run along and do whatever it is you do and leave me in peace, ok?" Maka just wanted to be left alone so that she could do her homework, finish unpacking and read her books.
Soul lifted his hands up in surrender. "Whoa. Ok I get it when I'm not wanted. It's not cool to follow someone when they aren't needed." Soul turned and walked away, but a few feet away, he stopped and slightly turned to look at her, and smirked. "See you around Tiny-Tits." Then he left her alone, staring after him dumbfounded. Maka growled in frustration. But to make sure he wasn't following her, Maka used every strategy to her advantage. She finally made it home when she was positive that no one followed her.
"Papa? Papa, I'm home." Maka set down her stuff and went into the kitchen for a snack.
"MAKAAA!" Then Spirit launched himself at her. But before he made contact, Maka stepped out of the way and Spirit landed on his face.
Maka sighed. "Papa, how many times do I have to tell you not to do that anymore." Maka lifted a book out of her bag. "Do you want me to Maka Chop you?" Maka sighs, puts her book away and heads towards her room to unpack the rest of her stuff.
"So...how was your first day?" Spirit stood in the doorway uncertainly.
Maka sighed. Same thing like last time. Except...something seems off about this school. Different from the rest, you know?" Maka had a feeling that the school and students here were not like the rest and other schools she's been to. She doesn't even remember how her and Spirit came to be here in this town. She's never even heard of a town called Death City until recently. Something was going on and she was going to get to the bottom of this mystery.
Well? What do you guys think? And yea I know its been awhile since last time but I have been ill with bronchitis for a lil while, I had to deal with some college visits and school work of course.
