**Hey guys! This will be my first FanFic so go easy on me. But I'm also trying to improve as a writer so criticism will be helpful!

Soul Eater is not mine!**

Face burning, I turn to Stein and try and zone in on his usually interesting lecture. But not today. God, he saw me looking at him! I legitimately felt like my head could be a fire hazard. I would kill to steal another glance of his beautiful crimson eyes, but I can't risk him finding out about my feelings. There's no way he could ever like me. Ever.

Tsubaki passes me a note.

What's up with you and Soul?

I clench my pencil so hard it almost breaks.

M: You can keep a secret, right?
S: Of course!
M: Well, um, I think I might have a crush on him?
S: What?! Oh my! You guys would make an amazing couple, and he totally likes you back, and I get to be your best woman, right?!
M: Tsubaki! He totally does not like me.
S: He does. You saw his eyes then. You know he does.
M: Shut up and pay attention.

Right then, the door explodes open, and in walk Kid, Patty and Liz. Wowha, he's here at seven! I glance at the clock and suppress a giggle. 7:08:8.

Oh, Kid.

"Hello," he says.

"KID SAYS WE CAN HAVE A SLEEPOVER WITH YOU GUYS AND MAKA CAN MAKE CUPCAKES AND COOKIES AND IT WILL BE SO MUCH FUN! SAYYESSAYYESSAYYES!" shouts Patty.

"YAHOO! CUPCAKES AND COOKIES! LET'S DO IT TONIGHT!" Black Star yells with equal enthusiasm.

Stein's personal scalpel and dissection pins come flying through the air with deadly accuracy and scare us all into silence and our seats.

Perfect, I thought to myself. A excuse to turn down my own offer to Soul. I'm not sure if I could have pulled off being alone in the woods with him. And, this way, I get to spend the night with the gang.

That should be interesting.
