Hello, Hello! I'm back! Sorry this is kinda late, I was busy. Well, it's up now. I don't own soul eater, blah, blah, blah. Rate and review please, constrictive criticism is welcomed! Sorry if this sucks. Okay, bai bai -MehKitty.
Our first class was science with Professor Stein we walked in and were assigned partners.
"Tsubaki and Black Star. Liz and Kid. Patty and Crona. Ox and Kim and finally Maka and Soul. Okay everyone take a seat, today we're learning about...dissection!" I took a seat next to Soul and took out a workbook, but Soul didn't.
"Don't you have a workbook?" I asked, Soul turned to me and he looked pretty surprised
"Uh...yeah I do but I forgot it" he said and smirked
"You can borrow mines if you want, just for today?"
"Sure, thank you, bookworm" I blushed at my new nickname.
Class ended and I showed Soul the way to English and I went to maths. The class was a drag, I couldn't get Soul out of my head no matter how hard I tried, there was just...something about him that was...odd, wonderful, interesting. When class finally ended I heard some commotion, a couple of girls ran past me.
"Hey why are we walking so fast?"
"Didn't you hear? There's a fight! Just outside the school!"
"Who's fighting?"
"Black star and that...weird new kid, let's go!"
Oh crap, I thought and ran to the front of the school.
There was a gigantic circle of people crowding round something. Presumably Black Star and Soul, I ran to the crowd and pushed myself to the front and...yep, there they were. Blood was splattered down Souls face and onto his jumper, Black Star was the same, face bruised and bloody. Black Star threw a punch that knocked a Soul backwards. Black Star stood above him and put his door on Souls chest. Soul struggled to get up but couldn't, he lay in defeat.
"Haha! I beat you, horror movie freak!"
"Shut up, tiny!"
"What's up with you anyway? You look like a failed experiment!"
"Yeah? You're not tall enough to to be a god, hell, you can't even punch straight!"
"Well, I sure hope you learned a lesson" he kicked Soul.
"Not" kick "to" kick "mess" kick "with" kick "your God!"
Black Star pulled Soul onto his feet and raised his fist for the finishing punch.
"Stop!" I screamed, running into the battlefield. Black Stars fist came down and hit me in the face, blood spurted everywhere. The crowd stopped cheering and a deathly silence lingered in the air. I realised there was a big gash on my cheek. I guess Black Star really is that strong.I took the punch for Soul. Why did I do that. I had only met him a few hours ago.
"Stop!" Someone else shouted
"Yeah, that girl was helping the new kid"
"Black Star punched a girl!" Someone ran out as well and held Black Star back by his arms. I helped Soul up and he looked at me with his swollen face. Sid-sensei ran out and grabbed Black Star and Soul.
"Both of you, come with me right now." And he dragged them inside.
I waited outside the principles office eagerly waiting for Soul. I had visited the nurse for the wound on my face from Black Stars punch and she said it wasn't too bad, she put a large plaster on it and told me it would heal in a few days. I was told to take the rest of the day off and was awarded 30 house points for intervening before they both got killed. Soul and Black Star both came out of the office, glared at each other then walked down separate corridors.
"Soul! Hey! Wait!" I called after him and ran to catch him. He turned around, his face still slightly swollen with dried blood on it.
"Oh...hi bookworm, why are you here?" he said
"I was waiting for you!" I said, trying not to sound annoyed
"Oh, well. Thanks! So-" he started but I'd had enough.
"Why did you do that Soul? You could have got seriously hurt!"
He smirked at me, "it so sounds like you almost care, bookworm"
I blushed again. "I don't care, I've only just met you. But seriously, why?"
"He was yelling at everyone about being their 'God' so I told him to shut up or I'd make him. He asked for a fight so I fought, just to shut him up. It kinda worked. We're both excluded for the week"
"Oh Soul..." He turned to me and noticed the large plaster on my face, he winced.
"Did...did that hurt?"
"Huh?...this? Not really" I smiled. Liar, it hurt like hell, it still does!
Soul looked at me, unconvinced.
"I know it was stupid" he continued "but...it really bothering everyone and no one said anything"
"I'm just glad you're okay" what the heck was that? You just told him you didn't care! You idiot! I blushed and Soul looked at me oddly "eh! Not-not like that it's-"
He laughed "it's okay, hey I'm going home to get cleaned up...do you want to come over?"
I realised we were at the entrance to the school, my dad wouldn't notice -or care- so why not?
"Sure! Lead the way!"
I led her back to my house. Maka looked so shocked when she saw my it.
"Wow...it...its huge!"
"Yeah..." I said, trying to sound modest "heh...its not much, really"
"Are you kidding!?" Her pretty green eyes sparkled "it's like ten times the size of my tiny apartment!"
"Well, let's go in" I said trying to change the subject, we walked up the long gravely path leading to the front door. The hedges on either side of us were trimmed neatly, not a single leaf was out of place. I held the door for Maka and let her go into my house first, like a true gentleman. My mother was in the kitchen.
"Mom?" I said quietly as we walked in, my mother turned to us.
"Soul what are yo-" oh shit "SOUL EATER EVANS WHAT IN THE WORLD HAPPENED TO YOU?"
She yelled, Maka flinched as every word was pronounced.
"Eh...mom? I got in a fight. Okay!? I'm so sorry"
"Soul...what did your father tell you?" She said softly, but every word burned like acid.
Oh no...she pulled the 'dad card'
"Not...to get into fights..."
"Good heavens...what am I going to do with you?" She sighed.
Souls mom had long brown hair and red eyes, just like Souls. She placed one hand on the kitchen counter and placed another on her forehead, massaging it. I stood there like an awkward turtle, just being silent.
"Em...mom? This is my new friend Maka" Soul said pointing to me.
"Hmm, oh hi Maka! H- SOUL!" She said, then shouted. His mom pointed to the plaster on my face
"You didn't get her involved in your fight, did you?"
Soul sweat dropped "well, not exactly..."
"WHAT?!"
Soul held his hands up "she stopped the fight for me, and the guy I was punching hit her instead!"
His mom looked at me and I jumped, "is this true?"
"Uh...yeah...I wanted to stop the fight and I didn't know he would hit me" I smiled apologetically.
His mom looked less terrifying and she went over to the kitchen sink, brought out a cloth and a first-aid kit,
"Soul, go see your father." She said in annoyed tone "and Maka, let me get you cleaned up, it's the least I could do for you stopping the fight for Soul" she smiled at me, she was really pretty. She cleaned my face with anti-bacterial mix and put a new, less blood covered plaster on my wound.
"There we go!" She said "good as new! Oh, I'm Jane by the way. Souls mom"
"Oh, hi! And thank you for tending to my cut" I said quietly
"It's okay, Souls not had many friends so...its good he's met you, Souls talking to his father at the moment so you should wait in his room, go up the stairs and it's the first on the left"
"Oh okay, thank you!" And I walked out of the kitchen, up the stairs and to the left into Souls room.
"Woah!"
Souls room was colossal and everything was either red, black or white. He had a big four post bed with red and black checked duvet and pillows. The carpet was red and in the middle of the room stood a large grand piano, a deep black-blue colour contrasted with pure white keys. There was a messy desk and computer chair, next to it was a massive closet. On the white and black walls there were shelves, chock full of sheet music and books on different instruments. I wandered around the room, taking it all in. I had only met him today, but it was all clearly Soul.
"Huh? What are you doing in my brothers room?" A man spoke, it wasn't Soul. I turned around a tall man with brown hair and blue eyes holding a violin stood in the door way, looking at me oddly.
"Oh...sorry, I'm Maka and I'm friends with Soul" I said with a smile.
He just stared then started laughing uncontrollably, "oh lord! My brother...has a...friend!?" He said between bursts of laughter "ha...oh dear...and you're so pretty! I don't know why you would choose someone like Soul!"
He was so annoying. I was just about to yell at him and maybe Maka-chop him when Soul appeared.
"Go away, Wes" he said, voice like acid.
"What?" Wes whined "I was just saying hello to your...friend"
Soul glared at him "go."
Wes glared back "fine. Goodbye...Maka" and he walked across the large hallway and entered a room. Soul slammed the door, sighing. He leaned back and slid to the floor.
"Uh...thanks Soul" I said
He looked up, "huh? For what?"
I blushed again, "for...getting your brother to go away...I was getting uncomfortable"
He smiled and I saw his jagged teeth, like claws, "Wes can do that to you, I don't know why but something about him has always been creepy, so your welcome"
I smiled and walked around again, admiring everything.
"You can sit down if you want" Soul said, so I went and sat in the bed trying not to crease the perfectly smoothed covers. There was something odd about Soul, his cool and caring attitude had gone it had been replaced with a solitary and alone attitude, something was wrong.
"S-Soul?"
"Hmm?"
"Are you okay? You seem down"
He sighed "yeah, I'm fine"
I frowned "you can tell me, I know you've only known me for a day but...you can tell me if you want"
He smiled, sadly this time, "it's just...*sigh* my dad yelled at me, again. He expects me to be perfect, just like Wes. Maka, my parents are both musicians and when they had a kid they wanted the kid to be one as well, so they had Wes and he is a genius, plays violin, viola, cello and bass. Then they had me, I like playing but I don't love music like they do. I just feel like...if I wasn't there...it wouldn't make a difference. You know? The only one in my family I can say I truly love is my mother"
I just sit on the bed, listening to his problems.
"She's the only one who doesn't want me to be 'perfect' she just wants me to live a normal life, get good grades and find someone. She doesn't care about the music."
He looked up, and smiled again. I felt good, I had helped him feel better.
"So what's your family like? I bet it can't be worse than mines"
My smile faltered, and I started fidgeting with my hands, I had tried to avoid this.
"You don't have to tell me...if you don't want to..." He said softly
"No, it's okay, I may as well. So my parents got together pretty young, they were both 18 when I was born. Anyway, when I was older my dad started messing around with other women. My parents would fight every night and they would hardly talk to each other. Eventually my mom asked for a divorce, I've always admired her for that. Just before she left, I grabbed a suitcase and filled it with a few items of clothing, a toy and books and begged her to take me with her. She told me to go to my room and get a few more things so I did...but by the time I came out of my room...my mom had left without me and my dad was sitting on the couch crying. I've hated him ever since and my mom has been taking a trip round the world, she sends me postcards now and then but...I doubt she really cares about me"
I just stared down at my lap while the memories of that day flooded back to me and I only snapped out of my trance because I noticed a tear falling down my cheek. I guess it hurts me more than I realise. Soul got up and sat next to me and put an arm around my shoulder, I turned to him. His aura was calming, the tears stopped almost immediately and I leant into his shoulder. I know I had only met him but I felt at peace, comforted around him.
"Hey, why did you ask me that? I've only just met you"
He smirked "well, bookworm. If we're going to be partners we should get to know each other better"
Again, rate and review, sorry if it sucks. Update, hopefully tomorrow. Bai!
