Chapter 6! Thanks you to all those who reviewed in the last chapter!:)
When the gang reached their classroom, they immediately went to their seats. They chatted to each other while waiting for Stein.
Maka was reading a book when she suddenly noticed that Soul still was dizzy from the Maka chop that she gave him a while ago. She stopped reading and said, "Hey Peanut Head. You alright?"
Soul looked at Maka with an annoying expression. "Don't talk to me. Do you think I'm okay after what you have done a while ago? Stupid."
Maka's blood felt like boiling again. She was really frustrated, but she didn't let it show. "Well, I'm sorry for that. But please bear in mind, you brainless little nut, that you're the one who began all the teasing. I was so not in the mood that time."
"And what gives you the right to hit me? WHAT GIVES YOU THE RIGHT?" Soul yelled. He stood up from his seat while looking at Maka, the light of battle shining in his eyes.
Maka narrowed his eyes at him, then stood up also. "What? You kept on babbling your stupid mouth about senseless things a while ago. If I did that to you, you'll be turned off also, right?" Maka sighed heavily. "Come on, Soul! Think!"
"I'm so tired of fighting...I'm fed up." Soul said.
"If you are fed up, then I'm more fed up. Be thankful that I didn't give you five chops a while ago. I was planning to do that." Maka replied.
Maka and Soul was throwing firebacks at each other. Little did they know that the whole class was staring at them. And worse, Stein was already in the classroom that time.
Stein cleared his throat. "Um, can you two please give us even just a minute of silence?"
Maka and Soul's eyes widen when they heard his voice. They immediately apologized then sat down.
Stein sighed. "Oh, thank you. I thought my ears are going to explode."
"Even us!" The whole class said. Then they laughed.
Soul bowed his head in embarrassment while Maka blushed furiously.
After that, Stein said, "Okay. Enough. Let's start with our lesson." He wrote something on the blackboard. "The proper way on how to start dissection is..."
Ugh. Dissection. That topic made the class Crescent Moon barf.
It's obvious that only Maka is the only one who is paying attention to all of Stein's lectures. She is the only one who is taking down notes.
Soul looked at Maka in disgust. He leaned in to her and whispered, "Hey, you don't have to get every detail."
Maka just grunted while still taking down notes. "I'm not like you."
Soul just scowled at her cold comment. "Freak."
Maka glared at Soul for a moment, then went back to taking notes.
After an hour of lectures, discussions, and gross stuff, Biology is already finished. The students sighed in relief. Only Maka is smiling that time. What can she do? She loves Science...even if it means touching and holding gross things. What's life without a few adventures, right?
Soul kept looking at Maka with disgust. He can't believe there's still someone in the world who pays attention to school. Or better yet...Is Maka really a human being?
"What?"
Soul snapped back to reality when he heard Maka's voice. "Is there something on my face?" Maka asked.
Soul turned his face away from Maka's. "Oh, nothing. I'm just wondering if people like you really exists."
Maka raised an eyebrow. "What do you mean?"
Soul sighed. "How can you be so excited in a subject that disgusting? I mean, come on! Aren't you grossed out to see all those freakin' lungs stuck out from an anima's body?"
Maka chuckled, then rolled her eyes. "You know, dude, I'm adventurous, unlike you. I'm not picky, UNLIKE YOU."
"Shut up."
"Likewise."
"Freak."
"Freakiest of the freaks."
"Moron."
"Moronic freak."
Soul sighed. "Man, I give up..."
Maka grinned in victory. "I'm SO awesome!"
"Shut up, dude." Soul grunted.
Maka sighed in satisfaction as she turned to her left, where Tsubaki is sitting. "Hey, Tsubaki, do you know our next subject?"
Tsubaki smiled. "They said it's theater."
Maka raised an eyebrow. "Theater...?"
"Drama class." Tsubaki said.
When Tsubaki said that, Soul heard it too. He was horrified.
"THE HECK?" exclaimed Maka and Soul.
Tsubaki sighed. "I don't know if the school has gone crazy or something, but having a drama class in a weapon and meister school isn't exactly what I have in mind..."
"But, but...Tsubaki, we don't have any drama classes last year! Why do we have to have one NOW?" Soul said.
"I know, right? I don't know what is up with school these days..." Tsubaki heaved a sigh again.
"You know," Maka suddenly piped up. "having a class where you have to act out the different parts of Romeo and Juliet isn't my type at all."
When Soul heard that, he shivered. "Ulk. Gross."
Tsubaki laughed. "Well, we can't do anything about it. It's the school's decision. We just have to ride it on."
Maka and Soul slumped to their chairs, defeated. Suddenly, they said in unison, "That is SO gay..."
Tsubaki laughed again.
After minutes of waiting and saying grossed out comments, the class Crescent Moon's theater teacher dashed into the room. She was carrying a truckload of books and was perspiring.
"Good morning, Shibusen! Sorry I was late...I got lost with all the up and downs of this school." She said with an apologetic smile on her face. She went towards the teacher's table and dumped all her books on top of it. Then, with a big smile on her face, she faced the class.
"Well, good morning, once again! For those who doesn't know me yet, I'm Miss Marie. I will be your drama class teacher this school year." She said.
Maka smiled at the presence of the lady teacher. She's pretty, and she looks like the kind of teacher that a student like Maka could get along with.
Miss Marie continued her speech. "I'm sure some of you are wondering why we included theater in one of your subjects."
That's exactly the question that is stuck on our heads today, Maka thought.
"Well, Shinigami-sama said that you need it so that the soul wavelength of a meister and weapon will become stronger, and it can improve their relationship with one another."
"Oooohhh," chorused the class.
Soul snuck a glance at Maka. Their soul wavelength becoming stronger? Oh, please. That won't happen for, like, ever.
Marie smiled. "Well, today, we're going to start our first acting session. I'm going to put each one of you in different categories. There are five categories: Romance, Drama, Comedy, Action, and Fantasy. You are all going to pick a slip of paper from this fishbowl. " she said, motioning to the fishbowl. "Inside that slip of paper is your category. One by one per row, please, and observe orderliness."
Soul sighed. When is this mushy stuff going to end?
Beside him, Maka also pondered thoughts. I wonder why they even bothered to have a freaking drama class...The heck...
"Hey, Maka, you're already next." Tsubaki said, nudging her.
"Eh?" Maka never thought that the picking of categories would be so fast. Quickly, she stood up and went down.
Marie smiled at her. "What's your name, dear?" she said, giving Maka the fishbowl.
"Good morning Miss Marie. My name is Maka. Maka Albarn. " Maka picked a slip of paper from the fishbowl.
Marie nodded, smiling. "Do you have any relationship with Shibusen's Deathscythe?"
Maka sighed quietly. This is the question that she dreaded the most. "He's my father, Marie-sensei."
"Ah," Marie said. "Someday, I know you'll turn your partner into a deathscythe, too."
Maka smiled. That was a compliment. "Thank you, Miss Marie."
Marie smiled. "You may now go back to your seat."
As Maka sat down on her seat, Marie's words were like music to her ears. Turning her partner to a deathscythe will probably be her biggest accomplishment. And it will all be for her mother, who is traveling to different parts of the world now.
But when she glanced at Soul, who is now getting a category, she felt her feelings sank a little. How can she accomplish all of her dreams if a certain jerk, who happens to ber her PARTNER, is there to annoy her all the time?
When the class already got their categories, the room was a buzz.
"Hey, Tsubaki," Maka said, turning to her, "What is your category?"
"Romance." Tsubaki smiled. "How about you?"
"Comedy." Maka grinned. "Not sure if I'm going to pull this off, but...what's life without adventure, right?"
Tsubaki chuckled. "Yeah. You've got a point."
Maka smiled and turned to her left, where her stupid partner is sitting. 'Hey, jerk, what's your chosen category?"
Soul grinned. "Freak, I'm on action. Yeah man. What about you?"
Maka grunted. "I'm on comedy, moron."
Soul laughed. "You? On comedy? Ahahaha! That's going to be sure hit for me, watching you doing silly moves while babbling freakishly annoying lines! Hahahaha!"
Maka glared at him. "And you? I'm sure you're so freaking scared to hold even just a toy gun! Coward!"
"Excuse me? For your information, Miss Brain Freak, I've already held a gun a couple of times because Black Star, Kid, and I sometimes go to gun-shooting sessions." Soul fired back.
"Whatever. I'm sure when you hear that gun shoot, you'll probably scream like a little girl crying for ice cream." Maka laughed.
Before Soul could make another ferocious comeback, Marie's voice boomed over the room. "Okay. Now that you already have categories, may I ask those students assigned to action to stay in this area..."
Soul scowled at that. He casted a cold glare at Maka before heading to his assigned place.
Maka gave him a smug yet victorious smile.
Then Maka heard the comedy category was already called, so she went to her assigned area also. One by one, their teacher is already arranging them according to their categories.
After organizing them, Marie grouped each category into groups of four. Then she handed each group a two-page script. "Now, I want you to rehearse these shory presentations. I'm going to see if you all have potentials for acting. It's up to you to assign or choose your parts. The show will start after twenty minutes. Begin."
After Marie's speech, the students were already buzzing around, saying lines. Marie sat on the teachers' chair, watching her class with satisfaction.
After a couple of minutes, Marie stood up and, with a grin on her face, she shouted, "OKAY! REHEARSALS ARE OVER! IT'S SHOWTIME!"
The students immediately scrambled to their seats after hearing that.
Maka sat on her chair, hands clasped together. The comedy category is the last to perform, and Maka's group is the third one to show their acting skills. The action category is the FIRST to perform, and coincidentally, Soul's group was the first to perform.
Maka is a little nervous. She had memorized the lines very well, of course. She just doesn't know if she can pull off a role like this.
Soul and his groupmates were already positioned. Their scene is really an action scene. Soul and Ox Ford, one of his groupmates, are fighting against Kid and Black Star. They ran into the room as they recited their lines and mockingly shot each other. Black Star hollered and shouted.
After their presentation, Marie couldn't help but laughed. "Thank you for that performance, boys. Yours is...most surprising."
The boys took a bow in front. Black Star took, like, a hundred bows before going to his seat.
Soul snuck a smug look at Maka, who was watching them intently.
Maka rolled her eyes.
Then the next presentation followed. Then followed. Then another. Maka thought her heart is already going to explode. She is very nervous.
After countless shows, Maka's group is finally going to perform. Soul even moved to the FRONT row to witness his stupid meister's most embarrassing and hilarious moment.
But as the play started, Soul realized that his hunch had been wrong. When Maka started acting, he saw that she is a potential actress. In fact, the whole class is laughing because of the group's performance. Even Marie laughed. Thinking that he's going to lose AGAIN, Soul decided to make a rude remark about Maka to annoy her. Never mind if the teacher scolds him; what's important is to see his meister go to angry-wolf version again.
Soul gave a loud sigh. "Hey, Maka? You call that acting? That's probably the SLOPPIEST acting that I have ever seen!"
"Ssshh! SOUL!" Marie said.
Maka gave Soul a glare that might freeze him off. Instead of making yet another comeback, she just continued with her performance. But after hearing a LOT of remarks from the jerkiest person ever, she yelled. "SHUT UP, FROG, I'M STILL TALKIN!"
The whole class got mortified at Maka's reaction, but they just kept quiet. "You kept babbling about freakishly irrelevant stuff! Stupid! Shut up!" Maka went in front of Soul, clenching her fists with a scowl on her face.
Soul got up from his seat and faced Maka, head on. "You know, you looked like a total fool in front of everybody! Your acting sucks!"
Maka fumed madly. "Same to you, lamebrain!"
Marie can't take their fight anymore. "MAKA! SOUL! STOP IT!"
Soul and Maka zipped their mouths shut after that.
Marie went to her quarreling students' place. "Come on! Can't you have any respect to all of us here? What in the world are you fighting about anyway? You are even partners!"
Maka bowed her head. "I'm sorry, Miss Marie. I just can't stand Soul's stupidity anymore."
Soul looked at Maka in disgust. "What the heck? Are you picking another fight again? Shut up, Maka! SHUT UP!"
"Why are you telling me to shut up when YOU YOURSELF CAN'T KEEP YOUR MOUTH SHUT? STUPID! IDIOT! Arggh!" Maka's already in the brink of her patience.
Before the fight could go any further, Marie stopped them. "GUYS!"
Soul and Maka looked at Marie. Then they stopped.
Marie heaved a sigh. "Geez. What is up with you guys? I wonder how I can fix this..." Suddenly an idea popped inside Marie's head, which made her smile at them. A creepy smile, though. The kind of smile that freaks people out.
"What?" Soul and Maka said in unison.
"I'm going to put the both of you in one category. In the ROMANCE category."
Soul and Maka turned pale, crestfallen. "WHAT THE-?"
Chapter 6 is done^^ Please review! Thank you=)
