Jane:Bum bum bum! It's time for chapter six! Ready Maka?

Maka:Ugh, people are gonna find out in this chapter, aren't they?

Jane: ...Pretty much.

Soul:Don't worry Maka, it'll be fine. I don't get why you're so worried anyways. You only got the coolest guy in the whole world as your boyfriend.

Maka:It's not about you, it's just the more people know, the more likely my dad will find out.

Soul:Oh yeah, I forgot about your crazy old man.

Jane:Conflict, yay!

Maka:How can you say that? If he finds out...

Jane:When he finds out. I have every intention of him finding out, and you can't change my mind.

Maka:How could you do that? You don't even own us!

Jane:That just a minor set back; Enjoy the chapter!

Chapter 6

"Wait, so you and Maka are going out now? Heh, it's about damn time." Black*Star slapped Soul on the back so hard he spit up some of the coffee he'd been drinking all over the cafe's table. They were at the Deathly Espresso with all their friends. They'd decided to tell them now before it became a thing. All the girls, Tsubaki, Liz, Patty, Kim, and Jacqueline, giggled and smiled and told Maka that they never knew she'd actually confess to him.

"I didn't confess!" Maka blushed profusely while all the guys were slapping Soul on the back, congratulating him and stuff like that. And then everything went to crap.

"MAKA!" A goofy faced Spirit ran into the cafe and leaped in front of Maka to give her a hug, but she backed up into Soul just in time to make sure that he fell face first onto the ground. He picked himself off the ground, crying and dripping snot like a baby. Then he noticed the group of teenagers staring at him, and Patty pointing and laughing. So he sucked it up and dusted himself off.

"Ah, good morning Kid, Liz, Patty, Tsubaki. Nice to see the rest of you as well." Then he shot a glare at Black*Star and Soul. It was mostly directed at Soul though, since he thought Soul was just trying to torture him by putting his arm around Maka.

"Ha ha, very funny. Get your hand off of my daughter, you little octopus head!" Soul involuntarily tried to flatten his stubborn spiky hair. Black*Star gave an evil smile to Maka. When she understood what he was doing, her eyes widened in horror. She shook her head furiously, but he already started speaking.

"Hey, Death Scythe! I've got something to tell you. Trust me, you'll be glad I told you." Spirit rolled his eyes.

"Yes, yes, I know you're going to surpass God himself. You've been telling everyone ever since you could talk." Black*Star gave a sort laugh. Soul glared daggers at him.

"Dude, if you do this, I'll beat the shit out of you. Shut up!" But Black*Star just smirked and made his statement loud enough so the entire restaurant"

"Soul made out with Maka and now they're going out!"

"Maka Chop!" Maka pulled a copy of Shakespeare's Greatest Works from her purse and bashed his skull in until he spit up blood and passed out on the table. A few tables away, the waitress who tazed Black*Star smirked with satisfaction. Tsubaki shot her a death glare, and the girl looked away quickly. Meanwhile Spirit stood dumbfounded, staring at his daughter with a look combined with disbelief and hurt. Then he turned the color of a firetruck as he glowered at her new boyfriend. He opened his mouth as if to say something, but only a little squeak came out. Then he closed it and calmly walked out the door. As soon as he did, he broke down in a sad, angry fit. This went on for several minutes, and Patty plus some children that were there at the time began to point fingers and laugh as Spirit curled in a fetal position and rolled on the sidewalk crying. Then he remembered he was right in front of his daughter and many other people and he ran away.

Maka sighed. "For some reason I almost feel bad. Almost, not quite though." Soul pat her back. The rest of lunch was awkward, and there wasn't much left to talk about, so everyone decided to go home. When Maka and Soul got back to their apartment, Maka went to her room to lay down on her bed. She flipped over and looked around her room for something to distract her from her feelings of embarrassment, anger, and guilt. She found it rather quickly. The calender said it was three days until the big test. She immediately forgot all her feelings from the cafe, and felt a new, queasy feeling. She hadn't studied since that first night.

"Holy shit! Soul!" Soul came running down the hall, assuming Maka was being murdered in er bed by some crazy Kishin or something. When he got to her room and saw she was alone and wasn't visibly injured, he felt slight relief, but still thought something serious might be wrong.

"What is it Maka? What's wrong, are you okay?" Maka turned toward him slowly, her eye wide in panic and her mouth opened slightly.

"The...the test is in three days." Soul burst out laughing. He couldn't believe this was what caused her to scream bloody murder. 'Maybe she was just screwing with me.' He thought. Maka, however, didn't find it funny at all.

"Are you kidding! This is serious, if we fail this test, you could lose your status as a Death Scythe! That's why I kept telling you to study. Didn't you remember anything Stein said?"

"Pfft, of course I remember. I've been studying all week. Why the hell would I risk losing my coolness AGAIN? You on the other hand, my lovely, have been going to detention, clubbing, drinking, shopping, and making out with an incredibly cool and hot dude." Maka felt really bad for yelling at him, and for letting her status as a perfect student slip between her fingers. Dammit.

"I'm sorry. You're right. Will you help me study?" Maka tried to make her eyes get big and watery like Blair taught her to, but instead she looked like you do when you're on a scary roller-coaster. Soul smirked at how she'd failed to make him feel guilty, but she'd probably get better at that over time anyways.

"Of course I'll help you, that's what cool boyfriends do." She smiled up at him. She really did pick the best guy to be her partner. As a weapon, and a boyfriend. They cracked open the books and started studying. They stayed up until two in the morning, when they fell asleep next to each other, snuggled up on her bed.

Jane: Aw, see? It wasn't so bad.

Maka: I guess I'm glad it's over with. I'm so embarrassed though, first my dad acts like a freak, then I forget to study. What am I turning into?

Soul: Heh, I thought you were pretty cool.

Maka: Re-really?

Soul: Yeah babe, you were hot!

Jane: Okay, it's getting mushy now. Maybe in the next chapter more conflict will bubble up.

Soul and Maka: Ah, crap!
