Chapter 2

"Quiet! I'm going to take attendance." The teacher announced and started to call out names. Soul stared hard at Maka as she looked down at her desk with a small blush tinted on her cheeks. "Albarn?" Maka wasn't paying attention, the teacher called out again, "Maka Albarn?"

This caught her attention, "H-H-Here!"

"Maka? How do you write that?" Soul asked.

"'Ma' and 'ka' in Katana(1)." Kid cut in.

"Cool!" Soul was interested.

"Evans? Soul Evans?" The teacher said.

"Oh. Here, here." He said.

'What am I going to do? Everyone's watching me...and the teacher's here...' Maka thought getting worried by the attention.

"Hey, do you remember me? You drew me a map at the park. And you know on the back of the map..."

'How rude of him!' "Ow..."

Soul yanked on Maka's braided pig-tail. "Hey, why are you ignoring me?"

"EVANS!" The teacher threw an eraser at Soul's head.

"Hey, casanova! The school year's barely started and you're already hitting on girls?" Kid and Soul entered the Men's bathroom.

"I can't believe that jackass! Dammit! My hair is still full of chalk dust!" Soul shook his shaggy hair.

"I can't believe your nerve Soul! Trying to hit on a girl infront of the teacher."

"I wasn't trying to hit on her."

"Whatever it is, you shouldn't do it with Maka. She's cute at first glance, but she's weird. I went to the same junior high as her so I know. All she does is draw. She doesn't talk to anyone. And besides...I'll bet she's guy-phobic. We were in the same class in 9th grade... I accidently put my hand on top or hers. It was like my hand was dirty. She didn't even try to hide her disgust." Kid explained.

"Maybe you were just filthy back then?" Kid just grumbled. "I guess every school has at least one person like her." Soul thought.

"Trust me, you can't help be annoyed by her. She's always so timid. It makes you want to rough her up a bit."

Soul chuckled, "Hmm...So even you think about that stuff?"

Kid flushed, "Shut up! I just think it. I wouldn't really bully her!"

"It's not like I don't know what you mean. She does draw your attention though..."

Soul threw Maka a note, perfectly folded. It said;
"I've been hanging on to the mother and child on the back of the map you drew..."

'Mother and child?' She thought then shouted and stood up out of her seat, "OH!" Everyone stared. Soul looked surprised that she can actually speak that loud.

"What's up, Albarn? Is something wrong?"

Soul cut in before she gad a chance to open her mouth, "Uh, yeah. There was a rat over there." The class started to squeal and run out of the room. 'I was just kidding...' he thought and looked over at Maka. "It's an amazing drawing by the way." He smiled which made her flush more.

"Hey Maka! Are you going home already?" Soul ran down the stairs yelling, while holding a basketball in his hand.

'That simple drawing. It turned him from someone I didn't like into somebody friendly.' "Um...no. I'm going to the studio."

"Oh a club. So you're in the art club?"

"Are you on the basketball team?"

"This?" Soul held up a ball, "this is work."

"Hey, Soul I'm gonna head over." Kid said walking by and Soul gave an 'okay'.

"Oh yeah. Got any money? Let me borrow it, and I'll double it for you." Soul said boldly. She just nodded and handed him 1,000¥(2). In a quick movement, he swiped the money and one of Maka's pony-tales. "Let me borrow this, too." He walked away.

'He has no manners...but I don't mind now.' Maka thought and headed off the art class.

"Hey Liz. What's wrong with Soul anyway? And he's with Maka, of all people..."

The crowed screamed as Soul made baskets upon baskets.

"Mm not surprised. The boys are playing basketball again...lame!" Maka sat painting as her partner, Kim packed up.

She took a quick glance out the window and saw gravity-defying hair tied back with her pony-tail.

"Oh Albarn you're the only one left?" , her Art teacher, came in through the doors.

"Yeah Kim had left a little bit ago..."

The teacher came closer to Maka, "It's great you're so dedicated, but school's been over for hours. You'd better head home." He locked the entrance/exit, "But one more thing. You really do like to draw, don't you? What are you working on now?" He stepped closer now.

"You draw so well." His hands were on Maka's shoulders now. "Is this the hand you draw with?" Now one gripping her hand, "Such a talented hand..."

Maka was helpless to his touch. She couldn't do anything. 'My voice...nothing's coming out! Why?" His hands traveled into the collar of her shirt. 'Why me?'

A/N: Haha sorry for ending it on a suspenseful part but I guess you'll just have to wait to see what happens! :D
