DISCLAIMER: YES I OWN SOUL. SORRY FOR NOT PUTTING UP A DISCLAIMER LAST CHAPTER. ANYWAY THANK YOU FOR YOUR REVIEWS SO FAR AND THANK YOU to AngelOfFluffiness for beta-ing my story.
Kid yelled in frustration as he placed his trombone gently beside him. Both Liz and Patty shot him a worried glance before returning to cleaning their saxophones.
"How dare they place the music asymmetrical like this? It's a disgrace for a symmetrical trombone to play such rancid notes!" he yelled as Patty's giraffe saxophone gleamed under its fresh polish.
She had custom ordered it last year and been allowed to have it after scaring Sid with her evil personality.
"It's called having the bass notes; everyone knows woodwinds carry the melody. Only in certain songs will brass go melodic." Liz explained.
"Yes but this is the halftime music. I can already not handle the asymmetry of the sets we have on the field." Kid moaned not at all happy with the way Sid had placed him in band.
"Kid your position eight, be happy." Liz continued as she placed her instrument back in its case.
"Yeah Kid, bee happy! Get it big sis, bee happy?" Patty laughed before blowing out the B flat scale.
Liz sighed as she noticed her male friends saddened aura.
Black Star laughed as Sid, Nygus, and Tsubaki attempted to get him down from the roof top. The blue haired drummer had climbed up and began serenading the block with his mad drumming on his quads.
"Sid, get him down NOW!" Nygus ordered as her and Tsubaki covered their ears.
Sid sighed before running his fingers through his hair and heading for a ladder.
"Black Star, please come down, we still have chemistry homework to finish!" Tsubaki called hoping to reign in the hyper teen.
"NO WAY, THE GREAT BLACK STAR WILL SURPASS ALL AND SHOW THIS STUPID TOWN REAL TALENT OF THE GODS!" he ranted as Sid returned with the ladder.
"Get him down now or you will be on the couch tonight!" Nygus growled fed up with the boys wild antics.
By now a mob of angry neighbors had surrounded them and Black Star was whooping about being so big.
"Yes dear." Sid mumbled as he climbed up to his rambunctious adopted son.
"Black Star, your mother says to get down right now!" Sid barked out over the excessive drumming.
"THE GREAT BLACK STAR TAKES ORDERS FROM NO ONE!" Black Star cackled.
Sid was about to protest when a head of black braided hair caught his eyes. His wife Nygus stood beside him arms crossed.
"Black Star sweetie, get your ass in that house now please," Nygus said in a calm snarl.
Both Sid and Black Star shuddered as they darted down to the house. Tsubaki smiled as her friend and his father ran past saying a quick hi, bye to her. Nygus appeared beside her and smiled.
"Will you stay for dinner?" she asked the young girl.
Tsubaki shook her head.
"I'm afraid not, mother, father, and Matsumune will be waiting for me," She bowed before leaving to her families' weapon shop.
"Maka sweetie, how was school?" Spirit Albarn asked as he prepared dinner.
"You're the assistant principal, you tell me. Don't you watch me from the security cameras?" Maka asked as she read over her advanced English homework. Spirit winced knowing his daughter was correct.
"Um, how about you Hiro?" he asked turning to his son.
"I helped Ragnorok put Ox Ford in the school infirmary," Hiro bragged.
"That's not something to be proud of," Maka seethed having been witness to the fight on her math class.
"Miss. Azusa put you both in detention for a week," She put in as her father reprimanded his son's behavior.
As the small family finished their dinner Maka left for her bath leaving the two boys to themselves.
"How are Evans and Maka?" Spirit asked his son once Maka was out of ear shot.
"I can't get them to be apart!" Hiro snarled in anger.
Spirit shared in his son's hatred for the adolescent. He didn't really hate the boy personally, just the fact that he held a love interest in his only daughter. To both Spirit and Hiro that meant he was an enemy. Maka took a deep breath before turning on the shower water. As the water cascaded over her body she thought over the afternoon she had with Soul. Hank had almost caught them in the act of heated passion. If it hadn't been for Soul's quick thinking she was sure her father would have had her and Soul forbidden from each other. Soul had thrown her clothes at her tossing his own ratty uniform on as she readied herself. He had forgotten her underclothing but Hank had bought their frazzled appearance as a fight between them. Soft laughter echoed in the tiny heated room as Maka finished the thought. Soul may not be as smart as her but he was way more clever.
The next morning the small group of friends met in the band room as usual surrounded by the rhythm sections drums.
"Ragnorok killed Medusa's pet snake," Crona said as she nibbled into her protein bar.
The group leaned in closer to hear the quarterback's punishment.
"Well, what happened next?" Liz asked eager for the pink haired clarinetist to continue.
"Yeah, is he dead?" Patty smiled.
Crona shook her head miserably.
"He owes her a new snake and he's grounded," She explained as her friends groaned; they had been hoping for something more harsh.
"Oh, Soul watch out for papa and Hiro, I think they're out to get you," Maka said as she looked up from her history book.
Soul nodded as he eyed Kid as he fixed his girlfriend's pigtails.
"You know Kid, I'm still confused at how your dad can be both mayor and principle here." Soul stated as Maka winced at his sudden pull at her hair.
"Careful shark bait." She growled going unheard by the albino.
"Didn't Mr. Mifune explain this to us in kindergarten?" Kid asked.
"Dude that was like…um, Maka help me out, it's too early to think." Soul said as he poked at the irritated blond.
"Eleven years ago." She replied through clenched teeth.
Just as Soul was about to repeat the answer to Kid the bell for their first class sounded.
"Well see ya Soul, Tsubaki shall we go see if Miss. Rena will let us play with the senior slide show from last year?" Maka asked as her and her Asian friend left for computers.
"Yes, that should be fun." Tsubaki agreed.
"I should be going as well, history with Mr. Williams is strict he hates people who are late," Crona rushed before running off leaving the twins and three boys to say their own goodbyes.
"Whelp, we're off to English. Miss. Marie's promised cookies," Liz stated as she led her sister away to class.
"Damn, wish we had her first period," Black Star sulked as the three made their way towards the math building.
All three hated having Miss. Toad for a math teacher. One reason was because Black Star kept alternating between Soul and Kid for answer cheats, the second reason was because she usually fell asleep near the end of class or pulled random things from her bra. That second one made Soul glad for Maka's small chest. No hardbacks hidden there.
"Mr. Evans, care to give us the answer to question two?" asked the teacher in her usual nasally voice.
"I'm gonna say three because I can't think at seven thirty in the morning," Soul grumbled as he waited for the next class so he could sleep.
"No Mr. Evans, the answer is x equals y plus three," The teacher explained. Soul could care less, by the look on Black Star's face he was sinking. According to the rules you had to complete the semesters with no F on your school report cards. The hyper wanna be ninja drummer currently had five F's and it was only the first week of sophomore year. Kid on the other hand looked strangely excited as he received his homework.
"Yes eight pages marvelous and all we have to do is the even problems, even more marvelous. No…wait… its ends in odd numbers," He sulked.
"Why does it matter?" Soul asked as he glanced over his own work.
As the class went on Miss. Toad took to pulling out a carton of milk and a granola bar from her left breast.
"Well, I'm never drinking milk again," Soul whispered as he and Black Star noticed their teacher's odd habit.
"I'm surprised Maka's dads not in there." Black Star responded as Soul pinched the bridge of his nose.
"Will you two shut up? Some of us are trying to do our work," Kid snapped as he leaned closer to his paper in sweat.
"Dude, so uncool, you're just writing your name," Soul replied.
"Yeah, no need to pull a muscle," Black Star added before their black haired friend tore his paper and fell unconscious to the floor.
"Um, Miss. Toad I think Kid died," Soul squeaked.
"Just leave him, the janitor will be in later." She replied before taking a sip of milk.
Maka and Tsubaki laughed as they experimented with the new computers in computer class. A row in front of them Ox and Harvar glared, well mostly Ox since Harvar was asleep.
"Will you be quiet Albarn? Most of us have studying to do," He snapped.
"Studying for what? This is computers, not science or something." Maka said between laughter.
"Well unlike you, I strive to be top of the class," Ox snarled, pushing up his glasses.
"Please, I've held that title since kindergarten," Maka beamed.
"And its time you fell from that pedestal," He smirked.
"Face it Ox, you'll always be second to me," Maka stated with pride, causing Tsubaki to clap with glee and support for her friend.
"Careful Albarn, we still have a year to tip that scale."
With that Ox returned to his previous doings.
"Maka are you worried?" Tsubaki asked as she eyed the blonde.
"No, why should I be worried?" she asked confused.
"Because you made Ox an enemy, which could be a problem," Tsubaki replied.
Maka shrugged as she pressed the enter button on her computer to start a new game of hangman. Having Ox as a scholar enemy would be fun in her opinion.
