I woke up to the smell of sizzling bacon. I padded down the steps to see Liz making our breakfast and Patty teaching Mikei how to build a giraffe out of test papers.

"GOOD MORNINGG KID-KUNN~!" Patty laughed.

"Oh it's you." Liz said before continuing her breakfast making.

I sat down next to Mikei.

"Good morning." I said.

"Oh hey. Morning Kid-kun." She smiled quickly at me before turning her focus back on Patty's intense paper folding.

Liz set down our breakfast and Patty started wolfing it down. Mikei chewed into it timidly and I looked at my bacon.

"Liz, this bacon is not as burnt as the other one. Make it more symmetrical will you?" I complained.

Liz slapped me on the head.

"Just eat Kid."

Mikei laughed. It sounded slightly sinister.

"Kid, you're not exactly symmetrical either." She peered at my hair.

Oh my god. She was right. I'm disgusting.

"THE STRIPES THAT ARE ONLY ON ONE SIDE OF MY HEAD. I'M WORTHELESS. TRASH. USELESS ASYMMETRICAL GARBAGE. I'M NOT WORTH BEING A SHINIGAMI." I rolled around on the ground.

Everyone laughed at me. Mikei limped over and stuck out her hand.

"Sorry Kid. I'm really sadistic, and that was just too easy. " She giggled, wiping a tear from her eye.

I took her hand, rubbing my eyes. How embarrassing to break down in front of a guest.

"You're wonderful just the way you are, stripes or not." She took her napkin and gave it to me.

"How can a perfectly symmetrical person like you possibly understand?" I sniffed.

She simply laughed and lead me back to the table. Breakfast after that was peaceful.

Mikei watched us heading off to school.

"Kid, hurry up, I'll fold the toilet paper. Just go!" She urged.

We left quickly, already half an hour late, and arrived to school just before Father was about to start his assembly. I joined him onstage as he started.

"HEY HEY WASSUP GUYS? I KNOW YOU'RE ALL CURIOUS ABOUT OUR WONDERFUL SAVIOUR SO I'LL JUST GET STRAIGHT TO THE POINT! Ahem." Father told everyone the same things he told us last night, about her being a witch, her past, her weapons, but left out the part about her curse. He probably didn't want people to use the information as advantage.

"And finally, Mikei-chan will be joining Class Crescent Moon in a few days! She's currently doing some repairs outside the city, but I expect her to be at school next week!"

Whispers broke out among the audience. I got madder and madder at each snide comment I heard.

"I'm glad my child isn't in that class."

"Mom, I don't want to go to school with that girl!"

"Dude, she's hot, but she's a witch, there's no way around it."

"Kim's a witch, but she's a healing one, right?"

"She's in my class! I want to exchange."

Father seemed to hear the comments as well, for his eyes slightly narrowed before he resumed his happy expression.

"That's it for now, SEE YOU LATER KIDS!"

Father stuck out his large hands in a peace sign before bouncing off the stage. I sighed. I needed to do a proper conclusion, as a shinigami.

"Thank you for coming to this presentation today and I hope everyone has found the information given satisfying. If there are any more questions, you can ask my father at 42-42-564. Thanks again."

The audience clapped and slowly dissipated. I nodded at Liz and Patty, and we headed off to Class Crescent Moon together. I sat down next to Soul, for he was the quietest out of all the Spartoi. Most of the time, anyway. He had his feet kicked back onto a desk and he seemed to be taking a nap. He opened his eyes when he noticed that I was next to him.

"Hey Kid."

"Soul." I nodded at him.

"Is that Mikei chick living with you?"

"Yes." Why did he care?

"Okay, don't tell Maka I said anything, but she's hot." He winked at me.

"Hot?" What did he mean?

Soul rolled his eyes.

"She's attractive, Kid. Alright?"

So Soul did understand the beauty of symmetry.

"I'm so glad you finally understand the beauty of symmetry. Yes, Mikei is very symmetrically wonderful isn't she?"

Soul looked at me blankly for a second before something seemed to dawn.

"Oh, uh, yeah, she's totally symmetrical, I knew that." Soul stuttered.

I saw him shaking his head as he rested his head back on the chair. What did I say?

"Soul?" I called out.

"Yes Kid?" He looked at me lazily.

"Why not tell Maka?" I wondered.

He looked at me for a second and gulped. His eyes darted around, as if looking for someone suspicious.

"Now Kid, don't tell anyone I said this, but I like Maka alright?" He whispered.

My eyes widened. Did he?

"Right." I nodded and turned around as Stein started the lesson.

I looked around for Liz and Patty after class ended. Where were they?

"Maka, have you seen Liz and Patty?"

"Oh, they said they were going home for the rest of the day to check on Mikei-chan."

Right. I thanked Maka and headed home. Might as well do the same.

I opened the door to my house to find it deathly silent.

"Liz, Patty, Mikei, I'm home!" I called out.

I received no answer, and proceeded to head upstairs to check their rooms. Could they have went out? Of course not, I shook my head. Silly me. Mikei was still limping this morning. I was about to knock on Mikei's door when I heard talking. I knew it was wrong, but I was curious, so I cautiously pressed my ear against the door.

"Okay, so you think you can go to school tomorrow right?" Liz said.

"Yup. It usually takes at least 2 days to heal, but I feel really well rested and since my wings are already grey, I'll be good to go."

"I see. What did you even do all day?"

"I wrote in my deathbook."

"Deathbook?" Patty laughed.

"I write punishments and torture ideas in it."

"Oh my Shinigami, can I see?"

There was a thump and a gasp. Then a lot of giggling.

"I like method 57." Liz snickered.

What was Method 57?

"ME TOO SISSY. CUT WOUNDS ALL OVER BODY AND SPRAY LEMON JUICE. THAT GOTTA HURT. AHAHAHAH!" Patty laughed.

Oh dear. She hadn't been lying this morning about the sadist thing.

"Anyways, Mikei, we need to teach you The Girl's Guide to Shibusen."

The Girl's Guide to Shibusen? Now I was really curious.

"Alright. First things first. Patty, announce the most popular boys at DWMA."

"ALRIGHTY YA MOTHERFUCKERS, LISTEN CLOSELY. DEATH THE KIDDOOOO, SOUUL EATER EVANSSS, AND BLAAAAACK STARRR!" Patty laughed.

Me, Soul, and Black Star?

"Why?" Mikei asked.

"Well, Kid is obvious. He's a shinigami, he's rich, a gentlemen, and he's good-looking. Black Star is strong and confident. No comment on his looks, but some may say he's cute. Soul is cool, musical, and a really good scythe. And I guess Soul is kind of handsome in his own way. The other guys in the school just plain old suck."

What? I'm good-looking? So the girls that come up and talk to me everyday are, well, flirting? Did those girls think I was good-looking too?

"I see. So what?"

"Don't date any of the above three until you're in our circle and people have accepted you. Because then everyone will just think you put a spell on one of them or something."

Mikei laughed.

"Why would I want to date any of them? They all seem nice, but they're not really my type."

Something clutched in my gut. I shook it off. I was probably hungry.

"Really? Not even Kid?" Liz sounded incredulous.

"The whole point of this conversation was to see if I liked Kid, wasn't it?"

Patty laughed.

"SHE CAUGHT YOU THERE YA EVIL BIATCH! AHAHAHAHAH!"

They all laughed.

"I can't wait to go to school tomorrow." Mikei snickered.

Girls were so frightening.
