Chapter 9

Lies hidden behind the truth

I sat on the floor against the Mr. Evan's class, sobbing. I had met this mysterious guy in the dance and had my amazing first kiss with him. What did he do after that? he left...without say goodbye. Why he left? Did he has an emergency or realize who I am and never want to be with a girl whom a bookworm? God! I feel so stupid. So stupid to think that he actually likes me. I hate feeling this way. "Maka?" I looked up and found Mr. Evan, looking at me. "What happening there? You would very good. Amazing, actually. Then, you ran. What happened?"

"A guy, that's what happened. " I take off my mask to wipe my tear off. "Before my début, I met a guy at the dance. We started talking, he was charming, mysterious and understanding. We danced in the garden for while and we kissed. It was amazing, like I would stay in that moment forever. When I'm done for my performance, he ran away. Maybe he knew who I am and ran. Stupid for me, right? Who will fell for girl like me?" I look down from him and sob some more until Mr. Evans spoke.

"Any guy." I look up at him. "Any guy with a right mind will fell for me." I shook my head a bit to him.

"You just saying that to made me feel better." He sat down right next to me.

"No, I'm not. You're smart, hard-working, caring and loyal girl and you're brave enough to play the piano by yourself. You're stubborn and read boring books, but that's what made you, you. A beautiful, innocent and strong girl I have ever know." I didn't realize I stop crying when he's talking to me "Too wordy? I know, but it's the truth and you should be proud about that." I can't believe he saying all of this, like if he was my best friend, but he did made me smile a bit. I hugged him as thank you for being here with me as he hugged me back as your welcome. "Feel better?" She nodded. "Good."

"Why guys can't be like you?" I said. Soul's mind: Oh, Maka. If you only knew, I'm doing this for the both of us. She pulled away from the hug and stood up. "Thank you for making me feel better, Mr. Evans."

"No, problem."

"But, you know something. I have my first kiss with that guy and I regretted to say, it was amazing."

xxxxxxxSoul's povxxxxxx

I'm her first kiss. I'm her FIRST KISS! Damn it! I paced around in the hallway, cursing myself out. I know she's innocent and all, but I never thought she was THAT innocent and I fucked up. She was should to have her first kiss with someone is a student and her own age. "Damn it! Why it's happen to me?"

"Like, why you're Maka's first kiss and might regret it or not?" I turned where I heard a guy's voice. It was Black*Star. "Yeah, I knew, but don't worry. I won't tell anyone about it, but will you told her about it? That she had her first kiss from you?" I fell relived when he vow not to tell anyone that will cost his job, but now, I'm thinking about how she will reacted if I really told her the truth. I already knew to that.

"No and I never will." I turned away and about to opened the door.

"She really likes you, you know?" I stopped and listened to him. "Maka will be very happy if she knew it was you. She told Tsubaki that she wish that any guy she seen would be like you."

"There's are crushes. Any high school girl were have a crush on a teacher if they're hot."

"Maybe, but I know she meant it when she say it." She really meant it? I thought. I know she said something like that, but still. Did she really mean it? I turned to Star and said.

"Even if she meant it, she will not know about that guy was me. I'm her teacher, not her love of her life and that what it should be." I opened the door and acted like nothing happened.

xxxxxxxNo one's povxxxxxx

Ever since the dance, everything went back to normal. Well, not everything. For the passed few days, Maka and Soul can't get the kiss out of their minds. Maka can managed her grades in school, but once in a while, she can't help to think about those rough, yet soft lips that she ever kiss. She ever wondered if his kisses were all over her body in middle of class. Most of all, she can't fight the feeling that maybe the boy from the dance and Mr. Evans are the same person. Which is crazy (she thought), but then, she found something that she made mad, confusand questionable to Mr. Evans.

Soul, however, is struggled as well as Maka. He did manage to keep his cool in school and around his students (and Maka), but, every time he looked at Maka, he think about the kiss they share. it's hurt him to know that Maka is his student. "Why fate had to choose her ?" He mumbled.

"Who is?" Soul looked up and found Maka, standing. He notices that school is over for christmas break. So, why she still here?

"Maka? Why are you still here?" She touching her arms, nervously.

"I just wanted to say 'have a merry christmas' to you."

"Oh, thank you." Soul looked down on his desk, grading the papers. He knows Maka is still there because it's no 'opening' or 'closing' of his door. "What is it, Maka?" She remains silent. Soul knows something's up with her. "Maka, if you have something to say to me, then say it.

"Are you 'him?"she finally asked. Soul was confused about the question, but he felt like he got caught.

"What?"

"The boy from the dance. The boy I ever kissed." She pulled out something from her backpack. She held out his black mask from the dance. Soul has been completely shocked by that. How she found it? he thought. Maka asked Soul, one last time that he knews, he been fucked. "ARE. YOU. 'HIM'?" Soul was right. He got caught l
