Chapter 2
Maka was walking to one of Shibusen's giant balconies followed by Tsubaki, Black*Star, Liz, and Patty.
"Hey Maka! Where the hell is Soul?! I'm tired of being the only dude here!" Black*Star shouted unnecessarily
"I don't know Black*Star. I've been here just like you." Maka shot sarcastically.
"Haha! That's because you can't stay away from your God!" Black*Star gloated.
Maka rolled her eyes. Normally she didn't mind being at school without Soul. In fact, it was pretty normal since he always skipped anyway. Soul just didn't seem right after that strange phone call at breakfast. Tsubaki was trying to settle down Black*Star while Patty was cracking up at the chaos. Maka was too deep in thought to pay any attention to the ruckus.
"Yo."
Maka snapped back to reality and turned around to only meet crimson low eyes.
"So, you decided to skip class again I see." Maka said smugly.
Soul looked away from the peering glowing emeralds and looked down at his feet and let out a huge sigh. It's unusual for him not to shoot back a smart ass comment.
"Hey Soul! It's about time you showed up!" Black*Star shouted while him and Soul performed their greeting fist bump.
"Where have you been?! If you told me you were skipping, I wouldn't have gone to Sid's stupid lecture!"
"It's not like I was just hanging out in the school. I was riding the bike and lost track of time. It's cool." Soul managed to clear his head enough to finally hold a damn conversation.
'Bullshit' Maka thought suspiciously.
"Come on guys, second period is about to start." Tsubaki cheers with her soft, friendly voice.
"Yo Soul! Why don't we just skip the rest of the day? Nothing is better than hanging out with a big star right?!" Black*Star shouted as he threw his arm around Soul.
"Sounds cool to me."
Soul was already going to be chewed out for missing first period, might as well enjoy the rest of the day. Maka shot Soul and Black*Star and annoyed look and stormed off, Tsubaki ran after the pissed off meister.
"You know… You're super bad at lying Soul! Bye!" Patty shouted playfully as she ran toward her female friends.
Souls heart skipped a beat. 'Wait did Patty really just call me out?'
"Soul if anyone knows a bullshit act to look tough, it's us Thompsons. Seriously, you look awful." Liz stepped past Soul.
With the girls out of sight Black*Star turned to Soul.
"Damn you sure did something to piss them off!"
"Shut up, Let's go do something. I'm bored just standing here."
*Last class is over*
Kid, Liz, and Patty turned off toward their mansion and waved goodbye to the other two girls.
"Guess it's just us now, say Tsubaki, would you like to come over? I doubt Soul is home yet." Maka asked with a warm smile.
"I'd love to! Knowing those two it's probably going to be a late one." Tsubaki sighed.
*Maka/Souls Apartment*
"Well I guess I'll head home then… are you sure you don't want me to wait until Soul gets back?" Tsubaki asked in mid yawn.
"No thanks, Tsubaki! It's almost one. I don't want you to stay up all night for my sake!"
"I wonder if Black*Star is still with him… Well, see you later Maka! Oh! And thank you for dinner!" Tsubaki said while she bowed. And with that, Maka was alone in her apartment.
Maka's eyes peeked from her current slumber on the living room couch when she heard the front door open. Maka was too tired to keep them open any longer and she had fallen back asleep.
"Pffft, idiot. I would think a bed would be much more comfortable than this piece of shit couch." Soul slurred out.
Soul picked up his meister bridal style and carefully attempted to place her in her bed. However, to Soul this task was much harder due the fact he had been drinking and the room spun. He stumbled into the wall and the sudden jerk woke his meister. When Maka's focus returned she had realized she was being carried and that awful smell of liquor.
"Soul?" Maka mumbled.
"Shhh, I'm bringing you to your room because you thought it would be cool to sleep on the couch." Soul again slurred his words.
"Soul?! Are you drunk?!" Maka asked as she pushed her way out of Soul's arms.
"Maybe! Who cares anyway?! Stop being all judgmental because of what Spirit does" Soul shouted.
Maka's eyes widened. He has never snapped at her this bad since that time with Stein's scented candles.
"You wouldn't understand! You came from a rich family and I'm pretty sure your dad isn't a drunk!" Maka gasped 'Why did I say that?'
Soul let out a growl and stomped up to Maka which made her fall back onto her bed.
"You don't know shit about my family! And since you think my life is so great with my family I guess you won't care when my father takes me back to take Wes's place." Soul shouted, he was unable to stand straight the room continued to spin.
"Wh… What?! What do you mean, Soul?! You can't go back! He can't do that!" Maka began to panic.
"Yup, so that's what's going on in my world. How about you, Angel?" Soul said with a hint of seduction within the sarcasm.
Maka wasn't expecting that comment.
"Soul you are too drunk right now, go to bed. We will talk about this when you can finish a sentence without slurring."
"Whatever."
Soul stumbled out of his meisters room and into his. His face hit the cool pillow and he quickly fell into a deep slumber. Maka, however, wasn't so lucky. She couldn't stop thinking about what Soul had just told her. 'It's not fair! He can't take Soul away from me!' Her thoughts raced. Maka calmed herself and told herself not to panic. There is no way he would willingly go with him. With the thoughts that attempted to sooth her, she drifted away into a slumber.
