Author: Thanks for the great reviews! Here is another chap just for you! Oh and this time there will be Maka's POV. Maybe in other chaps to…
Disclaimer: Yeah… Kid stole it seeing how it was so symmetrical… so yeah no Soul Eater owner!
The day went by quickly and quietly. Maka had not even glanced at me since I had asked Kimiki-chan out. Every time I would get even near her she would look away, and start a conversation with someone so she wouldn't have to even chat with me.
I sat silently at lunch with Blackstar. Maka had gone with Liz, Patti, and Tsubaki to a restaurant. My life felt seemingly as I kept the thought of her.
"Soul why you so down, dude?" Blackstar asked as I glumly ate my Hamburger. I didn't pay attention to my blue haired friend. I really couldn't speak without losing my cool. My eyes averted to the side to see what he was doing.
Blackstar was actually, silent. I sighed. I knew I had to tell him.
Maka's POV -I sighed as the girls and I ate. I wished someone could be near me. That someone was my partner, Soul. I kept ignoring him all day ever since he asked that bitch, Kimiki-chan, to the dance.
Why couldn't he have been that bold when Kid had asked her out? He had just stood there like a moron and watched me accept. I wish he had stopped it.
"Maka? Are you all right? You've been so silent," Liz, the elder Thompson sister, asked. All girls looked up at me. They're eyes wondering what was on my mind. I hadn't paid attention much. Everyone else was chatting, and I simply was minding my own business.
Tsubaki, my best gal friend, was looking at me as if she knew. She probably did. It was obvious to her since I had kept ranting about Soul earlier. Her dark blue eyes focused on my expression. She seemed to be up to something… but I wondered what.
"Maka? Still waiting for an answer," Liz asked me again growing impatient. " It's nothing Liz, I'm just thinking…"
"Thinking of what Maka-chan?" Patti, the younger Thompson sister, asked in her high-pitched voice. I didn't want to tell anyone else that Soul and I had a fight, but there was always that someone who knew.
"Maka-chan didn't Kid ask you to the Masquerade?" Tsubaki asked, even though she knew. Liz's head snapped up to meet Tsubaki's face. "Kid asked YOU out…" she said sounding a little hurt. I wondered why.
Patti put her arm around Liz, comforting her. She seemed VERY hurt. I looked at Tsubaki's face, wondering if I did something wrong. She gave me the look that said', I'll tell you later.' Was it possible Liz felt something toward her meister?
It seemed that two people weren't going to be with the one they truly desired…
* * *
After we finished eating at the restaurant, Tsubaki and I went walking back to school. All I was thinking of then was, why was Liz so depressed? I waited patiently for Tsubaki to explain, but she never did.
I had to ask her. "Tsubaki…"
"Hmm?" she said thoughtlessly. "Why was Liz so upset earlier at the restaurant?" I asked curiously. She smiled slightly as she saw my curious face.
"Didn't you know Liz likes Kid?" she asked, a hint of surprise in her voice. Of course she did. All the weapons and meister's were falling for each other, but some were falling differently.
"I really didn't know… until now," I said a little disturbed. Why didn't Kid ask Liz? Tsubaki looked at my questioning look, and she simply chuckled. "Maka, you are so funny when you're confused…"
"Huh? I'm not confused."
"Just looking at your face says all Maka."
I sighed knowing she was probably right. She knew me so well.
We walked in silence again. This time Tsubaki was the one to interrupt. "Maka! Look at that beautiful Masquerade dress!" she squealed with delight as we passed a thrift store. It was an old store that had been here for centuries. Its structure looked like it would collapse at any second, but on one of the store's windows it had a mannequin in a lovely Masquerade dress.
The dress looked like silk with it's veil low. It was beautiful and overflowing. The dress itself looked like a stream of crimson red. The mask had a hat attached to it, making it more attractive. The color of the veil was pitch black. It came with silky black gloves and a pair of stiletto shoes. It was beautiful, and just breath taking.
"Wow…" I said in amazement. Usually I didn't like fancy dresses, but this beauty deserved to be admired. "Isn't it breathtaking?" a man out of nowhere said. He was an old man with highly expensive taste. He wore a custom made suit that was fine, and looked like from a long time ago.
"Who are you?" Tsubaki asked feeling a little strange that a man out of nowhere would appear right behind them. He smiled softly and bowed. "I am the owner of this little thrift shop," he said courteously.
"You own that fabulous dress?" I asked breathless. It was like the heavens were begging me to buy it. The old man's smile went glum.
"I was… they're going to tear down my store since it doesn't make money. They're taking everything including the lovely dress…" he said glumly. My face shot down a sad expression. Tsubaki on the other hand…
"May we by the dress?" she asked. The old man's face shot up with a smile, but then went back down. "I'm not sure… it's the only one we've got since it's custom made. If it fits you… you can have it for free," he said, his smiling face appeared again.
Tsubaki grabbed my wrist, and gave it light squeeze which meant 'let's try it on.' Unfortunately, the dress didn't fit Tsubaki's figure. She simply shrugged, and made me try it on.
Unbelievably, it fit. The dress made my curves appear more, and it was just perfect on me. The beautiful veil made my chest appear bigger than it was. I couldn't wait to wear it at the Masquerade. Suddenly my excitement went back to depression. Soul was the one I wanted to impress, not Kid.
Tsubaki saw my change of face, and knew exactly what was going on my mind.
"Maka, it must be hard for you… but I promise you that you and Soul will end up together at that dance. Not him and that Kimiki-chan," Tsubaki said reassuringly.
I hope she is right…
Soul POVI had told Blackstar every single detail, and guess what he said…
"Wow dude you are a coward…" Blackstar said, shaking his head in disappointment. "Shut up Blackstar, I'm not like you who would yell everything out not giving a damn what I say," I spat out. He backed away giving me some space before I had a hissy like Maka did.
I sighed, calming myself down. I looked back at Blackstar who was grinning like the devil. I wondered what was in that devious mind of his. His grin got wider as he saw how I was confused.
"THE GREAT BLACKSTAR HAS A PLAN!" he yelled as he stepped on the table. Crowds of people started staring at the blue haired assassin who was yelling ', YAHOO!' I pulled him down before stein or any teacher would give us both detention. That wouldn't be cool on the day of the Masquerade.
"Idiot! Sit down before any of the teachers come!" I hissed at him, pulling him down at the process. Big mistake. Instead of pulling him down, I actually pulled down his pants revealing some pink boxers. All the girls at the cafeteria started bursting into laughter. I could see on Blackstar's face, a hue of red spread around his cheeks. He quickly went down and pulled his pants back up.
"Sorry dude, that's not what I was trying to do…" I said apologetically. He shrugged and a smile came up to his face. "They probably enjoyed the view," he said, but he went back to the subject.
"Don't worry Soul. Maka and you will be together at the dance," he said as his smile widened. "I have a plan."
Author: Yay! I like this chap cuz I get to write in Maka's point of view! I promise I will keep on writing if you send more reviews! Thanks for all who reviewed again! I'm going to start on chapter 4!
