New Kid

Soul's POV

We took Maka to the infirmary and the nurse patched her up and said that she just needed some rest. Everyone was silent in the room. I looked to Maka and made a fist in my hand. I was her weapon and I couldn't save her. I moved the hair out of her face and saw the bruises and scratches from that witch and her group.

"Poor Maka, she got badly injured," Tsubaki said.

"They will pay for what they did!" Black Star yelled.

"Yeah" Liz and Patty shouted.

"I'd like to know how those witches and weapons knew Maka. Maka didn't even seem to recall ever seeing them," Kid explained.

"That's because she doesn't remember," Spirit said.

"What is that supposed to mean?" I asked.

He told us to come outside so that he could tell us what's going on. There we met with Professor Stein and Spirit gave a deep sigh and spoke.

"Ravenna and I met a long time ago before I met Maka's mother. She was at the time my girlfriend. We were in love, but then I met Maka's mother. She was beautiful and kind, we became good friends and I soon realized I began to fall in love with her. However, Ravenna was jealous and thought I was cheating on her at the time for Maka's mother. That's when she reveled she was a witch and tried to kill Maka's mother. I was able to stop her just in time. After that Ravenna was sent back into the witch's world. Ravenna is probably just angry because I ended up marrying Maka's mother in the end," Spirit said.

"How does Maka play apart in this story?" Kid asked.

"Yeah, I'd like to know as well," Maka said from behind.

"Maka" We all yelled.

I saw Spirit try to go over her to her, but she just backed away.

"Why don't you tell how I fit into this story," Maka said.

"It's nothing Maka sweetie," Spirit replied.

"Why won't you tell me! There's obviously something you're keeping from me! So tell me!"

"You . . . wouldn't understand . . ."

Maka looked at him on last time and left in a huff. We went after her, but lost sight of her. She wasn't in the infirmary, or inside the school. So she must be on her way home. I told everyone she probably headed home and that I would check on her. I started to run home hopping she'd be ok.

Maka's POV

I was walking back home. Why didn't my father just tell me what it was that he was hiding from me? What was he afraid of? Suddenly I ran into someone and fell back. I saw a hand in my face and looked up. It was a boy around my age and had black hair and was wearing a white shirt and black pants. I took his hand and he helped me up.

"Sorry for walking into you. I wasn't paying much attention," He said.

"Oh no I should be the one apologizing, I mean I ran into you," I blurted.

"The names Raven and you are?"

"Maka Albarn" I said and we shook hands.

"Nice to meet you Maka, well I got to get going, but maybe we'll see each other again,"

"Yeah"

I waved good-bye and felt my heart pounding. That guy actually seems pretty cool. I continued to walk home and when I got there I saw Soul and Blair and they looked so worried.

"Where the heck have you been!" Soul yelled.

"We've been worried sick about you," Blair said.

"Sorry, I just need sometime alone," I said walking to my room.

I flew myself on the bed and looked out the window. I sighed and just wanted to know what was going on. That woman Ravenna seems like a big deal right now, yet I can't shake the feeling like something bad is going to happen. Suddenly Soul knocked on my door and came in.

"How are you feeling?" He asked.

"Confused as ever," I replied.

"I know it's hard not knowing, but maybe it's best not to worry about it. It's not cool to dwell on things like that,"

"Yeah maybe your right, well I'm going to get some sleep,"

"Sure night," He said.

Maybe Soul's right and I just need to not worry about it. My father will tell me when the time's right. The next day came and yet again girls were at Soul's locker asking him to be there partner. I felt a little jealous, since no one came to ask me to be there partners, not that I would accept, or anything. Suddenly my head began to hurt. I dropped my books and went to pick them up, but then I heard a voice.

"I know how you feel, jealously is just a cruel thing," the voice said.

I looked around and saw no one. I grabbed my books and headed to class. Maybe I'm just hearing things. As we headed to class I saw the guy from yesterday standing in the front of the class. Is he a new student? He noticed me staring at him and he winked at me, making me blush and I quickly headed to my seat.

"Class is about to start, but first I'd like to introduce you to Raven Knight. He will be joining us today as a meister. Please do play nice with him. Why don't you just grab a seat anywhere," Professor Stein said.

I had my book to my face the whole time hoping he wouldn't notice me. I don't know why, but I just get this weird feeling when I'm around him. Suddenly the book in my hand was taken from Raven.

"It's nice to see you again Maka, I hope we can become good friends," He said.

"Yeah sure" I said and he went to go sit down.

I saw Liz, Patty, and Tsubaki sliding near me. I already knew what they were thinking of and I pretended to ignore them.

"So spill how do you know the cute new guy?" Liz said.

"Yeah tell us!" Patty yelled.

"We just met yesterday, when I was on my way home I bumped into him and he helped me up," I said blushing.

"I think he likes you Maka and he seems very nice," Tsubaki said.

"Yeah he was totally flirting with you," Patty said.

"Maybe you should show him around the school," Liz suggested.

"No way, I'm way to shy," I said.

"Shy about what?" Black Star said appearing from nowhere.

I realized that Soul and Kid joined in the conversation too. I out the book to my face and ignore them.

"The new kid totally has a thing for Maka," Liz said.

"Seriously" Black Star said.

"Why is that a surprise!" I said putting down my book.

Everyone started to laugh, but Soul. He seemed quit annoyed to be honest. After class I started to pack up my things and then Raven came toward me. I saw Liz, Patty, and Tsubaki staring at us, which made me uncomfortable.

"Hey Maka, I'm kind of new here and was hoping maybe you could show me around," He asked.

"Oh sure," I replied.

"After that I'll treat you to some lunch, once I figure out where it is,"

"Ok sure thanks," I said laughing.

As we headed out the door I went to my locker first to put my stuff away. I saw Soul come towards us.

"Hey Maka, wanna play some basketball with everyone, before we get some lunch," Soul asked.

"Sorry, but I promised Raven here that I would show him around," I said.

"Yeah plus I'm treating her to lunch later oh and by the way my name's Raven," He said extending his hand and Soul shook it.

"Well I see you later then," Soul said.

I watched as Soul walked away, his altitude seemed a little different than usual. I don't know what it is, but it seems like something was bothering him.
