Light Note: Woo! Chapter seven. Thought this up while my friend, who is like a sister to me, and I were discussing how often we end up tuning each other out naturally.
I just want to give a big giant thank you to everyone who reviewed, favorite'd and put this on their story alert. It means the world to me!
"Aaaargh!" Kim moaned, rolling her head back as well as her eyes as Blackstar, a few feet ahead of her, continued to rant about his greatness, "Doesn't he ever shut up?"
Soul, who was to her right, sighed and shook his head, "I don't think he knows the meaning of the term."
The young witch pouted, "How unfortunate."
To her left, Maka was reading a book as they walked and was seemingly unaware of the conversation, and of the fact that the group had stopped walking until she collided painfully into Blackstar's back, "Ouch!" The book she'd been reading had slammed up and smashed into her face, and the blonde meister rubbed her nose as she glared forward, "What the heck Blackstar?"
"What? You ran into me. You need to watch where you're going, Maka," Blackstar said casually, even throwing in a laugh for good measure. Maka wasn't pleased.
Now, it's probable that Blackstar only meant it as a joke, evidence being his added laughter. Maka, however, not being pleased, did not care for the joke.
"It's not my fault that you just randomly stopped in the middle of the hallway. People are walking here," Maka said in clipped tones, closing her book just in case she needed to Maka Chop him.
The ninja meister froze, staring at Maka with a confused look, "Wait, are you saying it's my fault that you ran into me?"
Maka didn't shy away, "That's exactly what I'm saying. This is a hallway, not a stop-irregularly-way."
"That's not even a word!"
The blonde sighed, "Exactly. That's why it's wrong. The word for what you did doesn't even exist because you're not meant to be doing it."
"What? Are you challenging me, who is so big that you cannot even comprehend my greatness?" Blackstar said, appalled judging by the tone, and Kim groaned and began walking away.
Maka, on the other hand, simply reopened her book and began reading, throwing in a needed, "Uh-huh," or, "Oh is that so?" when needed. Soul and Tsubaki decided to leave as well, deciding that the idiots were best left to their own devices. Not that they would say that aloud.
It wasn't until the bell had rung and Cid had shown up to drag them to class that Maka turned to Blackstar with a completely blank face, as he'd just yelled at her if she'd heard anything he'd said and stated, "I'm sorry, what? I wasn't listening."
Once they'd gotten to class, Blackstar was strangely quiet. Sulking to himself instead of creating a scene like he usually did. Kim and Tsubaki looked on with astonishment.
Soul leaned over during a break in the lesson, "Oi, Maka."
She turned to face her weapon with a smile, "What is it?"
"What did you do to Blackstar to get him acting like that?" Soul inquired in a low tone. Maka replied with laughter.
"I honestly don't know. He started going off about being great, so I just tuned him out and everything after that I don't really remember until Cid showed up," the blonde explained with a shrug.
The scythe weapon, however, was impressed, "You can tune him out?"
"Yeah…" Maka said slowly, not knowing where this was going.
Soul just stared, before turning behind him to tell Kim what Maka had said. And then Kim told Tsubaki, who told Liz, who tried to tell Patty but ended up telling Kidd instead, who told Oxford, who told Jackie, who stared at the sulking Blackstar with further interest.
Maka just gave another shrug, "I don't see the big deal. When dealing with annoying things, eventually you just get used to it," and with that went back to her book.
Light Note: So this is just something short and simple. I'm kind of running out of ideas, so I think I might end this story soon. Unless you guys have really funny stories about your family that you'd want to see me write Maka and Co. in.
If you do, just let me know in a review, and if not, review anyway because I like hearing from you guys! Thanks for reading, and see you next time.
