21. Luck
Here I was, standing in front of the store. 'CLOSED' I had walked all the way here because I needed ramen. How else was I supposed to feed myself?
A slight drizzle touched my nose.
Oh hell no.
It's not going to rain now!? I already lost to Black Star in basketball, ran all the way down here, and now it was going to rain!?
The light sprinkle quickly turned into a downpour. I was drenched from head to toe within minutes. It probably looked comical to any onlookers that passed by. Me just standing here soaked, looking longingly at the closed Ichiraku Ramen shop.
'This day couldn't get any worse' I thought bitterly.
A loud rumble sounded in the distance.
Me and my big mouth.
22. Daydreams
Kid, Liz, and Patti all lied on the ground staring up at the sky.
"A giraffe!" Patti squealed in excitement, clapping her hands together. Used to her sister's weirdness, Liz merely waved in acknowledgement before turning to Kid.
"What do you think that one looks like?" She was pointing to a very large, fluffy looking cloud that had drifted towards them in the sky. He stared at it intensely for a few seconds before voicing his answer.
"The number 8." She sweat dropped, responding warily.
"Again? That's like the fifth one that 'looked like' the number eight, Kid." He didn't answer; his eyes seemed far away, as if he were dreaming of happy things.
"Ah, sweet symmetry." Kid sighed in contentment.
23. Blackout
"Where are you Maka?" Soul called from the kitchen. Suddenly all of the lights had gone out and the microwave that had been cooking his ramen stopped working.
Maka had noticed too since the bright room that she had been sitting in was now pitch black.
"Soul?" She answered quietly from atop her bed. He entered her room, took one look at her scared face, and sighed.
"I'll go get the candles."
Who would've guessed that the great Maka Albarn was scared of the dark?
24. Rivals
"Can we keep him?" Maka asked Soul cutely while snuggling the small dog in her arms. He glared at it, then looked back at Maka.
"No way. We don't need another pet. Blair is enough." She pouted. Besides, I don't need even more competition.
25. Enemies
The ten foot beast stared down at them, patiently awaiting their next move. The large pre-kishin had already effortlessly blown up two abandoned buildings and destroyed soul's beloved bike. Simultaneously the weapon and meister shared the same thought.
"Run?"
Most definitely.
26. Parents
We all sat in a circle. The assignment was to talk about your family. Likes, dislikes, etc… Family life sucks, but it's a class we all have to take once a year to 'learn about ourselves and each other'. Or that's what the hippie counselor said anyway.
Since nobody else decided to talk, Tsubaki spoke up first.
"I have a brother, a mother and a father. I haven't seen them for a while since they are all back in Japan. I think I had a decent relationship with them…" She drifted off, never finishing her statement. Black Star decided to pick up where she left off.
"I didn't know my clan…but I consider you guys family!" He smiled a cheesy grin at us. It went on like that, the spotlight being passed from person to person.
"Family of musicians. It was very strict and I hated it."
"I hate my Papa. He should go die in a corner, but I love Mama!"
"My father is the best there is!"
"Our family died a long time ago."
"My mom…kinda sucks"
After the class we all went to lunch, not at all hungry. They looked at each other for a while before anyone voiced their thoughts.
"That was interesting…"
27. Sunset
"Aww! That's so romantic!" Maka squealed as Tsubaki told her about some movie she had talked Black Star into taking her to.
"What's so romantic about some vampire dude watching a movie with a girl that's as much of a bookworm as you?" I chimed in. She glared at me before pulling out said book and slowly advancing toward me.
"You know what's so good about being a 'Bookworm'?" she asked warningly.
"N-no?" I solicited shakily.
"You always have a weapon on you in case some annoying knuckle-head comes along." She answered scarily. "You know what comes next right?" I lowered my head in defeat.
"…Hai…"
"MAKA~"
28. Sound
Silence…is a scary thing. Things that you never truly noticed are the loudest in the silence. Nearing footsteps. The humming that could always be heard while she cooked. Even the way that she held you as a scythe that no one else could ever copy. Little things that made such a difference. But it was the important things that you had taken for granted…that were the most painful to lose. The sound of her voice. Just once more. The sound of a book page turning. Even a MAKA CHOP would suffice.
"Please. Maka. Wake up damn it!" Soul said impatiently to her, as he sat in the street, a limp Maka in his arms. When she didn't move his panic turned to sorrow. "MAKAAA!" He screamed to the heavens, holding her tighter.
Silence. Is heavy and suffocating. Too much of it can even drive a person to insanity.
29. Superhero
Every superhero needs a weakness. Can you guess who was his?
30. Heart
"Hit me." A card was added to my hand, giving me a total of 19. I laid them down in front of me daring him to have better. "Beat that." I said confidently. Soul's cocky smile only broadened.
"Not so fast Maka," he sing-songed. Soul threw down his cards. I examined them crossly. He had an Ace and a King.
"Come on!" I yelled in agitation. I had even shuffled the deck in a way that totally made sure he would not win. There is no possible way to win Blackjack five times in a row unless you…
"CHEATER!" I screamed while lunging for him.
"No I'm not! You just suck at playing cards!" Soul said from under me. I forced his hands above his head and guess what fell out of his sleeve? The King of Hearts.
"You have five seconds to run." I said menacingly before getting up from on top of him. Even the King of Cool knew that if he didn't want a concussion then he'd better do what I say. Soul ran out the door, forgetting his pants in the process, but rather than follow him I grabbed a book and sad down on the couch. "Strip Blackjack, eh? Maybe we should play again sometime."
