Chapter 2: What's going on?
SPOV(Soul's POV)
I didn't know what was up with all the girls at school. Usually, the girls would gush and blush all over me; for the mere facts that 1. I'm a DeathScythe, 2. I'm attractive, and 3. I'm the coolest guy at the academy. But today, it was different. Instead of going all Lady Gaga(whose music is NOT cool in my opinion) over me, the girls were talking about dresses and bikinis. Maybeline and Olay. Maid Outifts and Bunny Suits. Sparkles and Glitter. These things are what all the girls were talking about.
I have lived with my meister/new-found girlfriend(And our "pet" magical cat, Blair) for a couple of years to understand the secret world of the opposite gender, but why are these girls talking about girly things so much today? Why was every conversation started was about which foundation would look good on them or whether they should get a pixie cut like Miley Cyrus or Pink? What's going on?! Why am I not getting the memo?! Cool guys like me always get the 411. So, why am I NOT?!
I had to get to the bottom of this. Later that day, when Maka and I were leaving class, I struck up a conversation with her while we were walking to lunch.
"Maka?", I began to say. "I wanted to ask you something."
"What is it, Soul?", she asked, with a cute smile on her face. "Is it something about our date we're planning after school?"
How can I think about dates at a time like this?!, I thought.
"No. It's just that all the girls here are talking about makeup and hair tips. I wanna know what important event is happening that's causing all of this."
"Guess.", Maka said bluntly.
"Um, OK. Kid is throwing the biggest party of the year."
"No."
"The academy's having a Paramore concert with Twenty One Pilots as the opening act?"
"No."
Come on, Soul. You have to get the memo out of her, so guess correctly!
"The academy is having this big glitzy beauty pageant."
"Ding Ding Ding! That's correct.", my girlfriend said with a sarcastic tone in her voice.
"Ohhhh. A beauty pageant."
"Yeah. A beauty pageant."
So, that's why all of those girls were talking about excess amounts of girly stuff. Phew! What a relief. I thought that I was gonna explode from all of those talks about facials and tanning beds.
"Well, why aren't you involved in those conversations? You are a girl, after all.", I said.
"Because, it's a waste of my time!", Maka growled. "All this week, Liz has bugged me about which dress she should get. URGH! It's so frustrating!"
"Don't worry about a thing.", I assured her, as I held her hand and kissed it. She blushed and smiled at me, as if all of that frustration she had just melted away.
"Thanks, Soul. I needed that.", she said, with that cute, angelic look on her face. She's so cute!, I thought to myself, turning a little red. And I get to be her boyfriend? How cool is that!
The sweet moment got ruined, however, when two high-pitched voices yelled out, "OH, MAKA! SOUL!"
I knew those voices. Those were the voices of the weapon/meister duo of Sassy Simone (The Diamond Ax) and Destiny "Mina" Dickerson.
I know that we have fangirls and fanboys of us, but these two take the cake as being the most IMTIMIDATING fangirls of us EVER!
When we were at SeaWorld in Orlando, Florida for a vacation, guess who was there at the Happy Harbor? Sassy and Mina!
Now, to Maka, she thinks that they're OK in her book, but not me! It's one thing to be a fangirl of either Maka or Yours Truly, but it's another to be up in our grill 24/7.
Anyway, Thing 1 and Thing 2 came over to where we were talking.
"Did you see that, Mina?", Sassy asked her meister excitedly.
"What? What did you see?!", Mina said.
"Soul kissed Maka's hand! Isn't that sooooo romantic?!"
"OMG! YES IT IS! EEEE!"
See how I said they were annoying?
I was trying my hardest NOT to lose my cool and go all insane with my powers on them.
Thankfully, Maka came in and said, "Well, it's nice that you two saw that, but Soul and I really need to get to lunch."
"Oh. Ok.", Sassy said. "Come on, Mina. We need to collect more souls so that I can become a DeathScythe."
"And maybe, one day...", Mina added. "YOU'LL BE SOOO COOL! JUST LIKE SOUL!"
"YAAYYYYY!"
UGH! That loud screech Sassy just did almost made me go deaf.
Why did I have to deal with these two?!, I thought to myself, as Maka and I continued our walk toward the cafeteria.
Author's Note: See what I did there? I put myself in the story as a cute fangirl whose weapon form is a diamond-encrusted ax(How cool is that!). As for Mina, she's a character version of my friend in real life who's never seen the show. You'll see them in the pageant later on.
