Strawberry Lolly
"Do I know you?" Soul Evans repeated as I stared blankly at him. He waved a hand in front of my face. "Oi."
What the actual hell is he playing at?
"Aye kids, wanna pay up for the milkshake?" echoed the cafeteria lady's voice in the background.
I looked straight at him in the eye. "Do you know me?"
"Does it sound like I know you?"
"You… Really don't know who I am?"
"Want da milkshake or not, ya lil' brats?"
"Nope. Never seen you in my entire life."
You stupid, motherfucking, asshole!
"MAKA-CHOP!"
In a heartbeat, Soul – or whichever asshole he was – met the ground with a sickly thud and was knocked out cold. I blew on my thick dictionary and slipped it back into my blazer pocket, giving the soon-to-be corpse a nice kick to the stomach.
"Fuck you Soul Evans." I muttered darkly, looking down at the unconscious body. "I hope you die in the fucking flames of Hell."
"Dang, youngsters these days." I heard the cafeteria lady sigh. "Hardcore as."
Hot from anger, disbelief, shock and some more anger, I stormed out of the cafeteria and headed outside.
"Why –" I swang my leg back. " – the fuck –" my foot met with the tree trunk as I swang my leg forward for a kick. " – is that cunt –" I unleashed a punch to the tree to vent my anger. " – ALWAYS DOING THIS TO ME?"
Left fist. "What the hell –" Right fist. " – is his –" Left fist. " –fucking problem?" Kick. I placed a hand on the rough skin of the tree and supported myself against it, breathing heavily.
He's such a liar.
I banged another fist against the tree.
You clearly told me that you won't forget me. You told me that you'll always be here!
I clenched my fists, gripping on bare bark.
What happened to the old Soul?
With one single movement, I ripped off the bark and watched it fall to the ground.
He's such a fucking liar.
"O-Oh my God!" I turned to see a girl gaping at me, her dropped books scattered on the ground. "Y'You're bleeding!"
I looked at my knuckles. "It's nothing."
She ran to me and grabbed my hands. "We need to get to the infirmary now!"
"I said it's nothing –"
With a whip of her long black ponytail, I found myself being dragged back into the school with a speed that didn't even seem human.
"All done!"
"I would've been fine." I said, looking down at my perfectly bandaged hands.
Tsubaki – that was her name – went to put back the bandages and disinfectant. "Now where was it…" she murmured. "Ah! Here it is!" She turned back around to me and gave me a lolly. "It'll make you feel better in no time."
"But I said I felt fine already…" I ripped open the wrapper and threw the lolly into my mouth. She was right. I did feel better. Strawberry lollies are always the best cure. "Thank you."
All of a sudden, the door of the infirmary flew open as two blonde girls entered, their gazes quickly fixed onto me.
"Who's the girl, Tsubaki?" asked the taller, long-haired blonde.
"She's a new student," replied Tsubaki. "She'll be joining our class."
"Really?" the tall blonde grinned and came over, giving my hair a good ruffle. "Nice to meet 'cha. Name's Liz Thompson."
"I'm Patty, I'm Patty!" sang the shorter blonde with chin-length hair, her eyes glimmering playfully. "Patty Thompson!"
"Maka." I replied, taking my time to look at all of them. I wasn't quite used to the sudden attack of friendliness. Never was.
"What are you two doing here?" asked Tsubaki, cocking her head.
Liz's eyes widened. "Oh yeah! I was s'pose to tell ya. Black Star he –"
KAAABOOOOOOM!
"What… What was that?" I said as everyone's heads turned towards the door.
Tsubaki's jaw dropped. "Oh no. Please tell me he didn't…"
"Yes he did!" laughed Patty.
"COME HERE, YOU LIL' SHIT!" a voice boomed from outside.
My eyes popped out from its sockets as I saw Liz fish out a net from under one of the infirmary beds and as Patty pulled out a gun from the big file cabinet.
Patty noticed me looking at her and grinned. "It's just a water gun, tehehe!"
Nevertheless, what the hell would she do with a water gun anyway? With that, the two sisters shot out the door, shouting out a ridiculous battle cry as they waved their weapons around in the air.
"Where are they going?"
Tsubaki sighed. "Why can't we just be a normal school for once?"
"…Isn't it..?"
Liz popped her head back in. "TSUBAKI! We need your help!"
Tsubaki slapped her forehead. "Why am I always..?" She turned over to me. "Sorry Maka. Some things… popped up. I have to go." She gave me a smile. "You should stay here and rest."
As soon as she left, there was another loud…
KAAABOOOOOOM!
'You should stay here and rest'? Ain't no way in hell I'm staying here.
Without another thought, I opened the door and walked out of the infirmary, following the sound of yelling, gunshots and unidentifiable high-pitched noises.
