Chapterrrrr 2!
Maka's out of character isn't she?
SORRY if these 2 chapters are almost uneventful, but please bear with it! The action will pretty much start next chapter!
I do NOT own Soul Eater! (only the plot of the story)
Chapter 2: Days
I got lucky the last time. Dr. Stein covered for me. The only reason I didn't get scolded was because he covered for me.
" I hit a sore spot the last time, didn't I?" he asked when I met him in the corridor
I looked down.
" Yeah..."
" ... Who are you doing a 'favour' this time?" he asked with a sad smile
I took a deep breath and instead of answering I continued my way to the vending machine.
All I did the whole day was running errands for students. ' Go, bring that there!' ' Go bring us sandwiches!' ' Give me your lunch!' ' Go get that!' and all kinds of stuff like that. I didn't see my friends at all!
At the end of the day I was dead tired and had trouble walking. When I finally crashed in my bed after a long soak, I just felt like sleeping.
I flipped on my back and stared at the ceiling.
" Don't worry Maka. There's only a week of school left!"
That was the thing that made me move each day. The hope of Summer. The hope that I'll change in the summer (which I never did), but I at least enjoyed my summer... More or less.
At this moment I remembered what Tsubaki told me about shooting stars. Ever since my breakdown yesterday, I began to think that it's not as stupid as it first sounded like. I began to feel that I WANTED to try. Yes, I definitely want to give it a try.
I sat up and looked out of the window.
" Today was Friday the 20th of June... Only 10 days left until the 30th."
Soon after I lay my head down on my pillow, I fell asleep.
I dreamed of a white puppy and shooting stars.
A whole week have passed, and every day went the same way, though the whole week I had exams. It was one more stressful thing on my shoulders. Everyone asked for 'favors'... and a lot more than usually. Every night I would arrive in my room and instantly fall asleep.
Today is the 27th of June and I have my last exam.
I got in the class and sat down on my place. Man! People want lots of things! I'm already tired and it's only the third period! I barely made it for my second period!
I really should change!
Today's exams ( those that are left) are Geography and Mathematics. The two most boring classes.
The geography exam was easy. I got out before the bell rang, since I finished first. I went in the cafeteria and took out a bar of chocolate of my bag. I opened it and slowly began to chew on the sweet pleasure. While eating, I pondered what I should wish for from the shooting star.
' I could wish for peace on Earth... But without war there's no peace... That's not good...' I thought ' I could also wish to become filthy rich... But I have no idea on what I could spend that money! It's not good either!' as I finished my chocolate an idea popped in my head.
" Yeah! I know what to wish for!" I shouted
I quickly slammed my hands on my mouth and sat down.
' I will wish to be able to say 'no'! So I won't be the errand runner of everybody! I'm a genius!'
As I was getting to my next exam, I got stopped by a huge crowd who all wanted me to do stuff for them. And what did I do? Me, the stupid idiot, ash blonde girl I am, went and did all the things they wanted!
No wonder I was almost late.
Mathematics has always been my forte, since it was more logical then language, though I was good in every subject.
My pencil flew across the paper as I quickly solved the problems. When I finished, a lot before the others, I looked at the clock. The pointer of the clock was moving way too slowly to my taste, though the bell did eventually ring... Only I almost fell asleep.
Before people get to make me do things I didn't want to, I ran to the orphanage as fast as I could. When I finally closed the door of the old building, I slipped down on the floor.
'Yes! I made it!' I thought
I slowly got on my feet and walked ever so slowly in my room.
" Yeah! School's out for summer!" I jumped on my bed " Here I come shooting star!"
The next day I was reading the whole day. I was reading about Tsubaki's brother's research about the phenomenons in the sky. It was pretty interesting, though it all sounded so unreal. It said that aliens do exist... In fact we are aliens too... It also said that there are different universes and dimensions where people live different lives and do other things, that might sound totally weird for us... In fact, all his researches resembled to science fiction novel material.
The 29th I was helping around everyone. We were cleaning the whole orphanage. Everyone asked for help, do I ended up doing all the other people's work instead of mine... And I even got scolded because of that!
I was so exhausted that as soon as my head hit my pillow, I fell asleep.
In my dream, I was in a dark place; it looked like I was floating around in empty space. Yes! I WAS in space! Since there were shooting starts all over the place! Then, I noticed a bright light and I approached it. When I got closer, I saw a... puppy. Floating in the middle of it. It was small, had white fur and somehow RED eyes. As I was glaring at the animal, wondering what it was doing here, it SMIRKED at me! As if he was a human instead of a dog! Then, it came closer. When his paw touched my skin... In a bright light...
I woke up.
The last thing I remembered seeing as some kind of a black coat...
I looked around.
" It was a weird dream. Floating in outer space and finding a red eyed puppy there! ... That is utterly weird." I yawned and got up
I looked at the clock... It was still only 7:20 am. I should have woken up later. Though I'm an early bird to get to school, I like to sleep in when I'm on vacation.
I looked out the window and sighted. Today, summer vacation has officially started, since it's Monday.
When I got back to my room after breakfast, I opened my window and breathed in. It was refreshing doing nothing. I smiled and remembered what I read, how I will have to wish for what I want.
1. I need to strongly believe it will happen.
2. I will need to talk to the star as if it was a teacher or someone higher up.
3. Not be disappointed if I don't get what I wanted.
(and 4. BE LUCKY!)
Yup, these are the steps to do.
I sighted and looked out the window... Today's going to be extremely long.
How was this chapter? It was long and nothing really important happened... But next chapter will be more fun!
