I DO NOT OWN SOUL EATER

I woke up in my bed. Well rested for once. We had off from school. I felt something jumping on to of me. I see Ali holding my glasses and Shasta holding my cellphone by the bunny ears that came with the case. It was buzzing. I grab my glasses from Ali and put them on and my phone from Shasta and unlocked it.

"Hello?"

"Hey! Maka! Wanna go for a girls day?" Liz asks me through the phone. I sigh.

"Liz, you know that I-" She cuts me off.

"Great! Me and the girls will pick you up at 12." She says and hangs up. Well, looks like I'm going for a girls day...

I start getting myself together. I grab a Aerosmith T shirt, some leggings and I leave my hair down because I felt to lazy to put it back.

Just like Liz promised. The girls where there at 12. I grabbed my DC'S and was out the door and in a car heading for total hell. The girls squealed and shouted about clothes that they where going to buy. When we get there, I just sort of walk with them, playing Angry Birds on my phone. Until someone taps my shoulder. I look behind me to see a muscled tanned man with dark brown hair.

"Hello, my name is Azusa. And you are?" He asks politely. I can't speak so the girls speak for me.

"Her name is Maka. And she's taken. So back off." Liz says defensively. Azusa laughs.

"No, no I'm not here for that." He begins.

"By any chance are you related to a Kami Albarn?" He asks. I nod.

"Well, how would you like to follow in her footsteps?" He asks. My swallow the lump in my throat.

"I-I mean I guess. She is my mom after all." I say quietly.

"Great! Would you come with me? Your friends can come too." He says leading us outside to a limo of some sort. The girls squeal and shout. When we finally get to this big modern building. We walk inside I text Soul.

'Apparently i'm gonna be a model...

I don't get a response right away, so I put my phone away. He leads us down a bunch of hallways Framed with pictures of my mom. I almost tear up at the thought. He opens the door to a room with a bunch of cameras and a white backdrop. There are a couple of vanities littered with makeup to the right wall. The left side was filled with dresses of all shapes, sizes, colors, etc.. Liz was squealing. Loud. I felt like I just went deaf. He had us all sit down at a table.

"Now, this will not only be an experience for Miss. Maka. This could be an experience for all of you." Azusa said. Liz was practically jumping out of her seat

"You guys could be her makeup team." He says. All the girls cheer. and shout.

"BUT," Azusa quiets them. They all sit in their rolling chairs quietly.

"I have to see what you are capable of first. Where going to do a test shoot to see what you can do." Azusa says. The smiles return to their faces. I simply play with the hem of my shirt. He leads us to a vanity and the girls are instantly all over me.

Tsubaki was doing my eyes.

Liz was picking out a dress.

And Patty,..

Well, Patty was being a Patty.

While picking out shoes.

I could'nt see anything becuase I didn't have my contacts in and Tsuabki had to take off my glasses to do my makeup. I hear someone walk over to me. I hear them circle me, examining me. I feel Tsubaki's hand shake a little against my eye as she blends the colors.

"Very nice. Very nice indeed." Azusa says. He walks away as someone else comes as Tsubaki finishes I open my eyes. I put in my contacts and blink a few times. I see Liz holding a green dress the same colors as my eyes with a flowing skirt. Going down to my ankles. Patty starts to curl my hair. In an hour they're done and Azusa is ready. I felt a little nervous. Liz holds my shoulders.

"Maka, you can do this." She says. I sigh shakily as I walk onto the white backdrop. The girls watching me. I can't stand all these eyes on me. But I feel like it's what my mom would want me to do.

"Fierce Maka! Give me fierce!" He says. I put my hands on my hips and I narrow my eyes the slightest. He clicks the camera a handful of times tell me to do different poses before it's finally over. I get out of the clothes just as Azusa is showing the girls the sample pictures. Liz shoves one in my face.

"Maka! Look how beautiful you are!" She says. She steps aside to let Azusa look at me as I wipe makeup off my face.

"You've got a lot of potential Maka. What do you say? Would you like to be the new face of Vouge?" He asks. I think for a moment. I nod. The girls squeal. Azusa shouts so every worker around him could hear him.

"Everyone listen up! We have a new face of Vouge. I want this girl on the July issue! Now!" Everyone started hustling to get me on the news. I spoke for once.

"But, can my name remain a secret until I say it's okay?" I ask quietly. He shouts again.

"Oh, and also, do not put her name anywhere on the press until further notice!" He says. He smiles at me.

"Why don't we take you back to the mall. Yes?" The girls nod. I take out my phone again and start playing Temple Run. Everyone is chatting about me in the limo. When we stop, we get into another limo that takes me to my house. I thank everyone and walk to my house. When I walk in I have both dogs all over me. I toss the sample pictures of me on the kitchen table. To be dealt with later. While I feeding the dogs, I hear my phone give off Soul's ringtone. I unlock it and answer.

"Hey." I say. Wedging the phone between my shoulder and my cheek.

"Hey, I got your text. Are you serious?" He asks.

"Yeah. I have the sample pictures. Proof." I say. I sigh.

"This is going to be great for you, I can tell. What magazine are you working for?" He asks. I put the pictures down.

"I'm now working for Vouge. Oh, and also, please don't tell anyone." I say.

"Alright. I won't. And also, Vouge? Seriously?" He asks.

"Yeah, I'm serious." He laughs.

"When are you going back there?" He asks.

"I'm going back on Thursday." I say.

"I wanna come." He says. I adjust my phone. Still wedged between my cheek and shoulder. I start looking through my frige. I dig out some leftover McDonalds as Soul speaks again.

"Why?" I ask. Pouring some fries onto a plate and sticking it in the microwave.

"Well, I'm sorry if I would like to see where my girlfriend works." He scoffed. I laughed.

"Fine, you can come." I say. I hear him talk to someone on the other end. He comes back to me.

"Angel, I gotta go. I have comapany. I'll see you on Thursday. Alright?" He says.

"Alright. Love you." I said.

"Love you too." I hang up. Just as my microwave bings. Signaling my food was done. I took it out and ate quietly.

THURSDAY

I drove to Soul's apartment complex to pick him up. It was time. I was going to be on the cover of one of the biggest magazine companies. I was nervous. Like,

Really Nervous. He walks out of his complex and gets into the passenger seat.

"So? Where are the sample pictures?" Soul asks. I promised him that he could see them

"Glove compartment. Green folder." I say taking a turn. He looks inside and his eyes almost fall out of his head.

"Damn." He simply says. I roll my eyes as we pull up to the gate. I show the guy at the gate my id and he lets us in. We get out and walk into headquarters and the girls are already there. I get into my seat and fall into my usual routine while talking to Soul.

"So? Where's this Azusa guy?" He asks as pale pink lip gloss is put on my lips. I shrug my shoulders. I hear someone walk over as Tsubaki starts on my eyes.

"So? Who is this?" Azusa asks.

"I'm Soul."

"Pleasure Soul. So? Your her boyfriend?" He asks. I blush as faint shade of pink. Tsuabki almost thought that she had already put it on.

"Yeah." He says simply.

"Well, I have to get the cameras working so, keep working on it Tsubaki!" She continues working. Once she's done, I put in my contacts and blink a few times. Liz comes over with a bathing suit and a white sundress. I grab it and get into it. The bikini showed of my flat stomach and C cup chest. The sundress was sort of short. Almost like a babydoll sized skirt. Azusa inspects me.

"I want her barefoot. Take off the flip flops." I do as I'm told as I walk onto the white backdrop. He turns on a fan that blows my hair and sundress back.

"Give me some additude Maka!" He says from behind the camera. I bend over a little with my hands on my hips. He shouts several other things for me to do. This wears on and on for awhile. He shuts off the fan and walks over to me.

"Maka, would be comfortable in taking your sundress off?" I nod. Your not going to like everything about your job I guess. I take it off. I toss it to Liz. I was wearing a navy blue bikini. It was plain and simple. I liked it. He took a couple of pictures of me like that.

"Where done folks! Get this girl on the July issue! Now!" He shouts everyone starts rushing to get me on the cover. I walk over to Liz.

"Hand me my clothes. I'm cold." I say. She hands me my clothes as I walk into the dressing room. I hear someone lean against the other door.

"You did good out there. You where so shy when I first met you. I feel like this is going to be good for you." Soul says. I toss my bathing suit over and Liz catches it as she walks by.

"I guess." I say. I get out and walk to my mirror taking out my contacts and putting on my glasses. Azusa walks up to me.

"Maka, come back tomarow. We need to do an whole article about you. Yes?" I nod. I walk out with Soul. We get in and we start up the car.

"So, you've seen my job. Happy?" I ask. Showing the gaurd me id to get out.

"Yes, very. But, I'm sort of going to miss Miss. Bartender." I laugh at his statement. I drop him off at his house and start the drive to mine. I walk inside and plop down on my couch and groan. I hear a bing on my phone signaling a new text. I don't reconize the number.

"Listen well and listen close Albarn. You will do exactly as I say. Or, if you don't, well, your little friends and albino will meet with an, unfourtanate accident." Before I could prosses anything another text came through.

"Also, if you tell one little living thing, even your little fleabags, I will kill everything you love. On the spot. I'm always watching Maka."

"Always." I shut off my phone. I was shot already. This was the last thing I needed. I sigh. I try to fall asleep that night. I just couldn't. I could practically feel his or her eyes boring into me. But I couldn't tell anyone. I hear a wimper coming from the dogs direction. I shoot up from my bed just to see through my blurry vision Shasta, slowly backing away.

"Sorry Shasta. Come here." I softly. He slowly starts moving again. He hops onto my bed. Ali slowly following. I scratch behind both of their ears.

"Sorry guys. I'm just a little shooken up." I say. They nuzzle into my sides. I get about an hour of sleep that night.

ONE WEEK LATER

School was let out and my name was out to the public. Luckily, I wore my glasses all the time so no one would notice me.. I hear a text come through on my phone. I take it out of my red ripped shorts. I was in CVS. It was a text from the guy.

'Maka, go to isle 7.' He commands I look around me. No one was there. I relize that I'm going to the femine care section. I look back at my phone.

'Buy tampons' I pay for my stuff and leave. I get out my phone.

'Leave them outside' I take them out of the bag. I run to my car.

'No further instructions' He says. I sigh of relief. I jump at a tap at my window. I turn to my window to see a smirking Soul. I roll my window down.

"Hi. Sorry. I didn't mean to scare you. Okay, maybie a little." He laughs. I nod.

"Hey, Angel. What's wrong?" He asks. Concerned in his voice.

Shit.

"Nothing." I say. He raises a brow.

"Angel, don't you dare lie to me." He says.

"I'm not lying." I say. Trying to sound as serious as possible. He sighs. He kisses my head and cups my head in his hand.

"Angel, you know if something's bothering you you can tell me right?" I nod. His thumb strokes my cheek.

"I love you." He says. He gives me a quick peck on the lips and walks into the CVS. I notice that someone took the tampons. I shiver. I pull out I replay Soul's words over and over in my head.

You know if somethings bothering you you can tell me right?

I sigh. Those where origionally Mrs. Marie's words. That just made me feel more guilty.

I sigh for about the millionth time that day. I still feel eyes boring into me.
