Disclaimer: I do not own Soul Eater
The next day at school, many people were surprised to see that Maka was bandaged and coming to school with not Soul, but Kid, Patty and Liz. On the way up the many stairs to Shibusin, Maka was bombarded with questions, causing her to almost fall down twice.
"Oh my god, Maka are you okay?" Tsubaki ran over to her friend with concern plain of her face. Black Star followed behind his girlfriend.
"I'm fine, just fell down a hill when hiking with Patty," The sisters had made that lie, and Maka decided to use it. "I sort of sprained my ankle, and hurt my hand real bad," Maka continued. Tsubaki was naturally worried, and Maka felt reassured at how worried she was. Tsubaki hadn't changed.
"Have you seen Soul? Why'd you come without him?" Black Star interrogated. Maka sighed.
"I slept over at Liz and Patty's house, and they got me a ride," Maka said gesturing to her new friends behind her. "Oh, that reminds me, Tsubaki, Black Star, this is Liz and Patty. Liz, Patty, this is Tsubaki and Black Star," She said gesturing to the person whose name was mentioned. "And as for Soul, he's right there," Maka pointed to the white tuft of hair making its way through the students to get to its friend.
"Where did Kid go?" Patty asked. Maka and Liz started to look around with Patty, as Soul greeted Back Star and Tsubaki. "Oh there he is! KID! KIDDO-KUN!" Patty yelled causing many heads too turn in both Patty's direction, and in the direction of the blushing golden-eyed boy making his way through the crowd to Patty.
"I told you to stop calling me that." Kid said. He looked at Maka, and smiled, only to notice Soul. He smirked inwardly as he saw that Soul looked a bit intimidated at his presence. More for his pride and ego to build up on. The bell then rang, and Kid went to Maka's side to help her walk to class.
Black Star couldn't help but be suspicious as the black-haired boy helped Maka to class. Why wasn't Soul doing this? Why wasn't Soul beating up this kid for being close to her either? Many questions like this floated in not only his head, but also in Tsubaki's and some other students.
"I wonder what happened…" Tsubaki mumbled to herself as she went to her first class.
Meanwhile, Ms. Marie was running late, and Kid was fighting off the flurry of girls around him. Even though he still wasn't exactly new, he was still attractive and mysterious to most girls. While he was being attacked, Maka was reading, smirking as Kid struggled to get the girls to go to their seats.
"Hey," Maka's focus was broken upon hearing a familiar voice. She looked up to see Nathan poking his head through the door. Maka got up, and went over to the brunette. He smiled and ruffled her hair, an amused grin put on his face when she fixed it again.
"I see that Kid's pretty popular with the ladies," Nathan said pointing to the ambushed boy. Maka laughed and rolled her eyes.
"Hey always was, ever since day one," She said holding up one finger. Nathan smiled. "How's your leg doing?" He asked looking at her bandaged leg. "I mean, I have a limp, but I can still walk right?" Maka shrugged her shoulders.
"What are you doing here anyway? Shouldn't you be in class?" Maka asked. Nathan chuckled. "I said I was going to the bathroom. My teacher is so old that she wouldn't notice if I was gone the while class period." He stated rolling his eyes with a smirk on his face.
"Who's that?"
"Hey, he's pretty cute,"
Maka turned to see the girls who had just been attacking Kid looking at Nathan. Nathan grinned at the causing them to blush and giggle. Maka turned back to Nathan and said, "Run while you still can," Nathan waved and started heading back to his class. "See ya later," he said.
"Was that Nathan walking away?" Kid asked as Ms. Marie walked into the room apologizing and telling everyone to shush. "No it was a flying purple unicorn," Maka said sarcastically.
"What, I missed the unicorn because of the stupid fan girls?" Kid joked back. Maka giggled, and quieted down as class started.
The day soon sailed by and Maka, Liz, Patty, and Kid were soon sitting in the living room doing their homework. Their concentration was broken when the sound of the doorbell shattered the silence. Maka shot up shouting, "I'll get it!" as she bolted to the door. Anything to get her away from the algebra homework she had been stuck on. Kid and the Thomson sisters just stared off in the direction she went off to. The girl had just limp-run to the door while throwing her papers and pencil down a moment before.
"Guess who's here?" Maka said, limping in. Nathan walked in doing jazz hands, a goofy grin on his face. Patty laughed and applauded as Liz face-palmed.
"I invited Nathan here to help us with homework, since he's a year above us." Maka said showing Nathan where he could sit. "Good luck with that, I'm probably as bad as you," Nathan said sitting in his seat.
"I don't care, just help me on this problem that I've been stuck on," Maka put the paper in his face. The five continued their homework, sometimes with the help of Nathan. Once they were done Nathan said, "So Kid, I see that you're popular with the ladies,"
Kid flushed a light pink while the girls snickered at Nathan's smug, mocking smirk. "I don't know why they like me so much," Kid said looking away. He started to slowly put away his stuff. "Aww, Kiddo is embarrassed." Patty said with a mocking tone in her voice.
"I am not," Kid said, his bush getting a darker red. Maka just smiled, and rolled her eyes. "I'm going to make a snack," She said getting up, and heading off to the kitchen.
Maka soon came back with a big bowl full of apple slices, and three smaller bowls with peanut butter in them. She placed them on the table that was in the middle of the couch and chair arrangement. "Where's Kid?" She asked noticing the missing person.
"He went to the bathroom." Nathan said picking up an apple slice and dipping it in one of the peanut butter bowls. "No double dipping," Maka said sitting down.
"The slices look like smiles," Patty observed placing the apple slice in front of her mouth.
"I bet that the fan girls that Kid have are starting to like you now Nathan," Maka said biting into her apple slice. Nathan rolled his eyes. "We all know that those girls just want to-" He picked up an apple slice, and started to kiss it as if it were his lover's mouth. The three girls burst into a fit of giggles at the older boy's actions.
"I really wish that I didn't walk in while you were doing that." Kid said. The girls burst into full out laughter, and Nathan just ate the apple. He wasn't blushing, not embarrassed by what he was doing while Kid walked into the room.
Once calmed down, Liz started at her apple with peanut butter on it. "Why is it that peanut butter makes me have to pee?" she asked no one in particular. "Sorry…?" Maka said. Liz waved her hand as if saying, "Its' fine,"
Nathan stood up, getting everyone's attention. "That is because," He suddenly started to do squat thrusts, "It has fiber," Everyone in the room, excluding Nathan, who had a very serious face on, started to crack up, laughing until their sides hurt.
"But fiber makes you have to poop," Kid said when he was done laughing. Nathan stopped moving mid-lunge, and said, "Touché," before getting up and sitting back down on the chair he occupied before. "Well it still does something to your bowls, right?" Nathan said sending the girls into another giggling fit.
I told you I'd update. Now you can't chase me... you'd probably catch me anyway, I'm not very fast. Anyway, I hope you liked that chapter. That thing with the squat thrusting actually happened. I'm not joking. One of my friends was eating a peanut butter and jelly sandwich and it all went down hill from there. Thank you for reading, and sorry about any spelling or grammatical errors.
