When We Were Kids

by Dancing in Crimson

Maka isn't to excited about moving back to Death City Nevada after 6 years of living in California. She is also not excited to be living in the same city with her worst enemy Soul Evans, who picked on and tortured her for 7 years of her life. Can they start fresh or will to many old feeling rise to the surface and scare Maka away again.

3 weeks later.

So far everything has been fine. Soul hasn't tried anything and I'm starting to think that he was over the whole 'I'm not giving up on you' thing. He wants to hang out a lot though; we hang out almost every day, doing random things like, bowling on Fridays, Wednesdays we go to Kids pool. Tuesday's we go se the newest 5 dollar movie in the theater. Mondays and Saturdays we hang out at the mall with out group. Sundays and Thursdays I stay at home and read. So yeah we hang out pretty much everyday.

Josh left last week much to my disappointment, after we cleared everything up the morning Soul and I made our agreement. Liz was still pissed but I really don't care it's probably her time of the moth or something. Surprisingly Patty understood how I was feeling, Crona was her first kiss and her last. So she was very helpful with the whole thing. Kid was saying I needed to wait for the perfect time, and make sure it was symmetrical. I rolled my eyes but nodded. Crona and Tsubaki both said that they understand why I would make up such a story and thought it was sweet of me not to blow off my first kiss with someone I didn't Love; I mean I love Josh but I'm defiantly not in love with him.

It's a Friday and Soul and I are going to meet Black*Star and Tsubaki in just a little bit at the bowling alley. Soul's picking me up at 7, after a week of our 'friendship' deal he got me onto the back of his motorcycle and to be honest I actually LOVE riding on the back of it. I get this rush of adrenaline and I just want more. Plus Soul said he'd never let me fall off like the klutz I am.

I finish the last page of my book Kid bought me and look at the clock, it's 6:30 I have half hour to get ready. "Shit." I curse myself and run down the hall to my bedroom. I open my closet and pull out a pair of old faded grey jeans. I pull them on and grab a black camisole tank top. I go to my desk and sit in front of the mirror, and pull out my makeup bag. I rub on some peach colored foundation, and pat on some powder along with a little bit of pink blush, Soul said I don't need it because no matter what my cheeks always have a pink tint to them, but if I don't put some on I feel more white then a ghost. The last thing I do is drag a black eyeliner pen across my waterline and blink a few times. I smile to my self and remember to put on my favorite strawberry lip gloss.

I go into the bathroom and look in the bigger mirror and decide to pull all my hair up into a high ponytail, since we're bowling it gets pretty hot in there. I got a few layers in my hair Tuesday, Tsubaki, Liz, Patty and I had a girls day out Soul and Black*Star weren't to happy Crona and Kid understood though, saying 'You guys do need to have your girl time.'

"YO MAKA, HURRY IT UP!" I hear a familiar voice yell from the living room. "CHILL OUT I'M COMING." I take one last look in the mirror fixing my bangs then rushing into the living room where I saw Soul looking at the wall full of pictures. "Hey." I say and he looks over his shoulder to me and his jaw hit's the floor. "H-hey." He stutters. "Jaw up Romeo." I grab my messenger bag and my black cell phone off the kitchen counter and see Soul shake his head chuckling.

"You look great Maka." He smiles. I look at him and see he's wearing black shorts that reach mid shin and a black t-shirt with red splatter paint marks all over it. he has red sneakers and a black head band to keep some of the hair out of his face, it doesn't help that much. I giggle, "So do you." He smirks, "of coarse I do." I roll my eyes and he opens the door for me. "M'lady." I laugh. "Why thank you good sir." I pat his cheek and walk out of the door locking it behind me.

We stop at a red light just 3 minutes away from the bowling alley when Soul looks at me. "What?" I ask. "Nothing I was just remembering that Halloween, I think you were what 10?" "Yeah, that was an interesting night for sure." He laughs. "Remember when Black*Star actually got the old couple to give us all their candy." I laugh with him. "I felt so bad! He scared the shit out of them." "So it worked, we got the whole bowl of chocolate and suckers." "Yeah it didn't really help that I had braces on, it made my teeth worse. I had to go to the dentist 3 times November to get my teeth cleaned 'cause of all the candy." I sigh. "You know, I always liked you with braces for some reason." He winks at me and I feel a blush spread across my face. "Yeah well, you and Black*Star were the one's who made me get them." I cross my arms. "Well you should've watched where you stepped." He laughs. "What the hell! You threw rocks at me and Crona how on earth could I watch where I was going when flying stones were being aimed at my face!" I say stubbornly. "Opps." He shrugs and I scoff. "You're an- AHH!" I don't get finish my sentence because the light changed and he tore off down the road. I grabbed his waist tightly and held myself to him. He was just laughing like a maniac the whole time.

When we pulled into the parking lot we were greeted by a very loud yell coming from the dark blue truck with a black outline of a star on the hood. "WHAT THE FUCK TOOK YOU GUYS SO LONG?" Black*Star shouts as Soul and I hop off his bike. "Sorry man, Maka was still getting ready when I showed up." He puts his hands up to show he was innocent. "Whatever you prick, I was ready on time; we hit a lot of red lights on our way here." I say and see Tsubaki nod. "HAHAHA A GOD LIKE ME DOESN'T WAIT FOR RED LIGHTS!" Black*Star yells and we all sweat-drop. "Ye-yeah he almost hit an old man, a dog and some kids on bikes." Tsubaki whimpers. "I still don't think you legally got your license." I cross my arms and Soul laughs. "He didn't he knocked out his instructor and signed himself as 'Pass' then he took the papers to the desk and got his piece of plastic." Soul says and I turn to look at a very red Tsubaki and Black*Star with a huge smile on his face. "Let me see your license." I hold out my hand and he tosses me his wallet. I open it up and see the picture of him. He's giving the camera thumbs up and winking at it. I roll my eyes and toss it back to him. "Wow, I didn't get my license till I turned 18." I say and Black*Star and Soul laugh at me while Tsubaki pats my back. "Maka, California people can't drive worth shit!" Soul laughs, "There almost as bad as Black*Star!" Black*Star stops laughing to send him a glare. "I'm a very good driver, thank you very much, now can we go knock down some pins with a large ball." I stomp my foot in protest and Soul messes up my hair. "You got it babe." He winks and I blush but dramatically roll my eyes.

Once we enter the bowling alley we get our shoes after Soul sent a very warning glare and growl at the man behind the counter who had winked at me, seriously I don't know what is up with people and winking now a days. We put in out names and I went last Black*Star first like always, and Soul second then Tsubaki in third. "WATCH YOUR GOD PESENTS!" Black*Star yells at us and he literally throws the ball down the lane. "LOOK AT THE STRIKE!" he laughs crazily while he gives Soul a high five. Soul grabs a green ball and actually rolls it down the lane; he gets 8 down but misses two in the very middle. "Good luck Soul!" Tsubaki smiles and he nods. He waits for his ball to come back and grabs it. He rolls the ball and we watch at the end of our seats as it knocks both of the pins down. "HELL YEAH LOOK AT THAT BITCHES!" Soul jumps for joy and I roll my eyes and nod for Tsubaki to go. "That was pretty cool huh Maka." Soul sits next to me and I nod, "Yeah it was." He smirks at me and turns to watch Tsubaki get a gutter ball. Black*Star yells at the ball for not doing what his goddess wants and throws it down the lanes knocking all the pins down again then kissing Tsubaki better. "You're up Albarn." Soul nudges me. "Yeah, yeah." I grumble and grab a deep red ball, which reminds me of something familiar.

I walk to the black line and roll the ball down the lane and watch it get faster and faster. Then CLANK they all go down but two. The last ones on the very corners of the triangle. "ARE YOU FUCKING SERIOUS! HOW AM I SUPPOSED TO GET BOTH OF THOSE?" I yell and wait for my ball to come back. Black*Star makes a comment on the lines of 'Your God can do it.' and 'look Tsubaki, your God is such a master at this game.' But I choose to ignore them, I don't hear anything from Soul which is unusual but I shake it off and grab my ball.

I walk back to the black line and try to plan out how I'm going to get both pins down when two very strong arms grab me, one on my waist and the other grabbing my hand with the ball. "K what you want to do is," Soul whispers in my ear and I shiver from his hot breath. He moves my hand back into rolling position. "You want to hit the left one first aim for the very edge of it." I look up to him and nod. Not really paying attention. I hear him chuckle still looking ahead though. "You have to watch the ball Maka." He says and I blush hand look ahead at the ball the somehow is rolling down the lane at incredible speed. The red ball hits the one pin and it flies into the other one and knocks both of them down. "YES! SOUL YOU'RE AMAZING YOU KNOW THAT!" I jump into his arms and pull him into a hug which he wasn't expecting.

The rest of the game went like that really, Black*Star won first place I got second and Soul third with Tsubaki in last place. "Hey guys I'm starving and a God needs to eat." Black*Star complains. "Yeah me too, can we go out and get something to eat?" Soul looks at me and I shrug and look to Tsubaki who nods. "Yeah let's go to In and Out they're open all night." I say and Soul and Black*Star shout for joy. "Come on, come on, the faster we get there the faster I can eat." Black*Star drags Tsubaki to his truck. "SEE YOU THERE BUDDY!" Black*Star shouts and Soul waves back to him. "Come on let's go, before Black*Star eats everything there." Soul chuckles and I laugh. "Good point." And the new take off down the road at 9:30 at night.

We pull into a parking spot and make our way to the doors. "Looks like Black*Star's already here." I say and Soul nods walking up to the cashier. I look over to Black*Star whose pigging out on four burgers and 6 things of fries, he also has like 3 sodas in front of him. Tsubaki has onion rings and a milkshake. "Hi how can I help you tonight?" The overly cheery girl says. "Um yeah I want a regular burger and a chocolate milkshake please. Oh and can I get some fries with that?" Soul asks and she nods. "Of course, is that it?" "What do you want Maka?" Soul asks and the cashier gives me a dirty look. "u-ugh can I get a strawberry milkshake and some fries please." I ask fiddling with my fingers looking to the ground. The girl (Valentina) her name tag says made a grunting noise and walked away after taking Souls cash. "Thanks Soul you didn't need to buy it for me." I say and he smiles at me. "It's not cool to let a girl pay." I laugh a little and grab are order and make my way over to Tsubaki and Black*Star.

"Hey guys." I sit next to Tsubaki while Soul takes the seat in front of me. "Hi Maka." Tsubaki smiles to me. I open up the lid to my pink drink and dip a fry in it and shove it into my mouth. I do it a few time not noticing the whole table looking at me funny. "What?" I dip another salty fry in my sweet strawberry milkshake and plop it in my mouth. "What the fuck are you doing?" Soul asks and the table nods. "What?" I ask again and Tsubaki speaks up. "Why do you dunk your fries in that." She points to the milkshake and I laugh. "Oh this, I've been doing it for years." I say and Soul opens his mouth. I roll my eyes but toss a fry in his mouth. His eyes widen and I laugh. "Good huh." He nods and sticks a fry in my milkshake and eats it. "Oh God I had no idea." He hums in satisfaction. "I know right!" I say happily. "You Maka are a genius." We all laugh. In the end Soul had to buy me another milkshake since he ate used a lot of it as a sweet dip for his fries.

Black*Star and Tsubaki left a little while ago and Soul and I are having a real blast. We talked about everything really. All my friends back in California and what happened when I went to my first high school party, he got a kick out of it, and he told me about the first time he got drunk and woke up in a barn 3 miles away from where he got drunk at. We shared random stories and adventures for a total of 2 hours until He asked me a serious question.

"Hey um Maka?" Soul asks. "Yeah." I say. "Why'd you leave with your mom, was it was it because of me?" my eyes widen. "NO! Soul it wasn't you, well not exactly. I didn't like watching my papa cheat all the time so I wanted to get away from it all. So when mama told me she was leaving I saw it as a chance to leave my past behind." I say sadly and he nods. "Did, did you ever trust me?" He asks. "Um you know I don't really know. It was on and off all the time." I shrug slowly. "Well then that's a no Maka. You can't trust somebody, I mean really trust someone if it's on and off." "Yeah I guess your right." I say. "Do you trust me now?" "Ye-yeah, I think I do." I stutter a little bit, and he just chuckles. "But you're not sure. Don't worry Maka, I'm going to prove to you some how, that I've changed and I want you to trust me with things you wouldn't let other people have." He says and I look at him. "What do you want to have?" "You're Heart." He smiles at my bright red face. "G-g-good luck wi-with that." I stutter looking at the table. "I'm working on it." He smiles again, and I really don't like the feeling my stomach is getting right now.

Little did I know that tonight was going to change my life forever.

So again, I really hope you like this chapter. Next chapter is going to bring tears, just warning you. I'll update again tomorrow.
