Finally, the bell rang. He could get out of here.

"Hey new kid, Soul," he heard Sid call out to him.

"Yeah?"

"I'll take you to the boy's dormitory since I know you don't have a place right now."

"Alright, thanks."

"But first he's gotta meet the great me."

A very loud guy appeared in front of him with pointed blue hair and a black outfit with gray trimmings, also a star tattoo on his shoulder that is copied on his clothing.

"Hi there, I'm the mighty BlackStar. Don't worry, you'll get used to my bigness eventually. But until then, here's my autograph for you." He reached his arm towards him with a piece of paper in his hand that had the word "Black" with a star underneath it.

"Uh, I don't want it."

"Of course you do, just take it and brag to your friends."

BlackStar grinned widely at him then he heard a female voice crying, "Maka Chop!" and a book hit the kid with the spine, leaving a rectangle dent in his head and him twitching on the ground.

"Leave him alone BlackStar, he said he didn't want it." A girl appeared behind him with ash blond hair in pigtails with green eyes wearing a black trench coat, red plaid mini skirt, as well as a yellow sweater. "Hi, I'm Maka Albarn," she extended her hand out to shake his hand.

"Nice to meet you, I'm Soul," he politely shook her hand.

"I hope you like it at the DWMA, I'm sure you'll do well."

"Um, thanks. Well Sid is waiting for me, see ya later." He slipped his hands in his pockets and started walking away.

"After you're done I can show you around Death City."

"We'll see, bye." He walked up to Sid, "Alright let's go."

"You won't go far with friends if you have that kind of attitude you know."

Soul shrugged.

"Alright then, well I'll at least show you to your room and you can go from there."

Sid took Soul out of DWMA, down the stairs, and to the city. Damn, you mean he had to walk up those huge stairs every day? He had hoped that the dorms were in the school. Well, nothing for it really.

Sid led him to a vast marble building with columns. He sighed, it seemed a little too much like home for him, but followed Sid up the stairs anyways. Inside the great hall really was massive, but the stairs led to rooms on the second and third stories which had several doors that he suspected lead to rooms.

"Since you registered late in the semester, you'll have to room alone until next semester, then you'll get a roommate, unless you find other living arrangements." Sid led Soul up to the third floor to the far door on the right. This one will be your room, it has the necessaries, but if you want more you're going to have to buy it yourself with your weekly allowance." Sid handed him an envelope, "Here's the money for this week, but that's all you get till next week, don't even bother asking for an advance if you run out. You'll be denied, no questions asked. If you do find yourself in trouble financially, there are jobs you can do around town. They're used to taking DWMA students and will generally accept you. Any questions?"

"Nope, I don't think so."

"Alright then, I'll let you get situated then. Class starts at 7 tomorrow, don't be late." With that last comment, he walked away, down the stairs then out the building.

Well, time to see what he got now, so he opened the door and stepped inside his new room.

Sid wasn't kidding when he said it just has the bare necessaries. There really was only a couple beds, dresser, closet, and that's about it. Well, at least it had a bed. So he laid back on it and rested his head in his hands as he stared up at the ceiling.

Well, he was here, and there definitely was no turning back now. Not that he wanted to really, but still. He was rather excited though, he had stepped into a new world that was full of mysteries. Sure he'd have to go to some boring classes and do homework and stuff, but he was sure that there was plenty of fun stuff to do here.

With that thought he grinned and sat up, "Well, time to get my bike and do some exploring and get some stuff for my new life."


The next day he was late for school because of those damn stairs. He had thought he would have had plenty of time to climb them, but it actually took him longer than he expected. He hadn't kept time the day before so he didn't know how long it had taken him.

Sid laid out on him a little about being late to his first real class, he apologized lazily and then sat in the back again.

Sid started a lecture about the differences between a kishin soul, and a pure soul and why weapons must never eat those pure souls.

He had never thought to try and eat a soul before, should be interesting. Wonder what they taste like.

At the end of the lesson Sid announced that the next day he'd be taking them out on a field trip to show them how a three star meister worked and how strong they have the ability to become.

Alright, he'd be able to get out of the classroom tomorrow. Though he'd better not be late, Sid would probably leave him behind.

After the bell rung Sid called him down to the large desk at the front of the class and gave him several sheets of paper that was supposed to be the information that the class has already covered.

"Learn this stuff and you'll be caught up in the class. I am giving a test at the end of the week and I don't want to hear any excuses that you haven't learned it all. Be glad that it isn't the Super Written Exam, or you'd have to cram from now till the end of the week and skip the trip tomorrow, plus any other activities that you may have planned and you probably still would fail."

Man, Sid was a tough one huh? "Alright already, I get the picture."

Sid hit his head with the papers, "I can already see you're kinda a slacker. I don't need that kind of lazy attitude in my class, so I expect you to work hard to learn everything."

"Yeah, yeah, enough already." Soul took the papers from him, stuck them under his arm and walked out of the classroom.

"Hey Soul, if you want I can help you study so you could catch up with everyone." Maka had started walking beside him. He looked at her a little surprised. Why would she want to spend her afternoon with someone to help them study work that she already knew? She must be the bookworm type.

"Sure, that'd get Sid off my back anyways. You wanna get something to eat while we're at it?"

"That's a good idea, I know of a really good place called Deathbucks Café. Let's go there."

"Alright, sounds good. Let's go and get this over with."

He and Maka walked down the stairs and he directed her towards his bike.

"Wow, I never knew you liked motorcycles." She walked up to it and examined it, "That is a nice shade of red."

"Yeah, I saw this machine for sale and couldn't resist it. Got it that day."

"Wow, how much did it cost?"

Uh oh, this is heading towards dangerous grounds. He didn't want to tell her about his family, he wanted to start with a clean slate and not give anyone any preconceived notions about him. Plus if people found out, they would probably bug him to play some music or something. He didn't really want to play the piano right now either, especially in front of people.

"Doesn't matter, let's go." He sat on his bike and she soon followed suit. He revved it up and then followed her directions to a place that was elaborately black with a lot of windows and two separate doors. Huh, seemed like an interesting place.

He parked and they went inside and sat at a table by the windows. They were given a menu by a girl dressed in a short black maids dress with a white shirt and leggings and a hat that looked like Lord Death's mask upside down on her head.

After they looked through the menu and placed their order, Maka arranged the papers on the table so she could accurately help him with the studying.

"Thanks Maka, I don't think I've got it all, but that helped."

"It's not a problem, I'm happy to help. I remember what it was like on my first day of school here."

"Did you come in part way through a semester too?"

"No, I came here at the beginning. My mother was a meister too, I want to be like here so enrolled as soon as I could."

"What about your father?"

She frowned at that question, "Papa is Lord Death's weapon."

"Say what?!" Ok, he can honestly say he wasn't expecting that.

"Yeah, but let's not talk about him."

Hmmm, seemed like he wasn't the only one that didn't want to talk about his family.

"What about your family Soul?

"I don't want to talk about them either."

"Ok then, I can understand that. Well, it's getting late, so I gotta go. I know I promised to give you a tour of the city, but I have to do some studying for myself too."

"You're going to do some studying, after you already spent so much time with school work already?"

"Yep, I need to make sure I do well in class. I'm at the top of the class and I need to keep my position."

Yeah, most definitely the book worm type, "Alright, I'll take you home then. Least I can do since you helped me out, even though it must not have been easy for you."

"I've tutored worse, so it wasn't so bad. But thanks for offering a ride."

He took her to the girls dorms, which really weren't that far away from the boys dorm, and then went to his room and tossed them on the desk he had bought for himself yesterday. It was more of a table really since it didn't have any drawers or stuff like that, but it suited him just fine. He laid down on the bed and stared up at the ceiling again.

Well he learned some stuff about the girl Maka today, way too much into books and studying, had issues with her father, and idolized her mother.

Maybe on the class trip tomorrow he'd learn something about BlackStar. Though it actually seemed like he learned just about all there is to know about that weird guy. He was so egotistical that he couldn't let anyone not know who he was, he's very loud, and strives to be the best there is.

Not that complicated a person really, but not too easy to get along with. The rest of the class seemed to keep to themselves really, he hasn't learned much about them yet.

He'll probably learn plenty tomorrow.


A/N:Alrighty then, I hope you Soul Eater fans enjoyed yourselves. It's a little shorter than I usually write, and not that much happens, but Soul finally met Maka and BlackStar. I hope I got BlackStar's personality down, I've never written someone like him before. Though he'll be good practice for when I write my Black Butler fanfic that's going to be about Grell.

Anyways next chapter is going to be great fun, it's going to be about that field trip and it's going to be exciting. Hope you guys look forward to it.
