Ok im late, but this is day 6 of my SoMa Week prompt, I'll post my last one tomorrow maybe!

Enjoy, and grab some popcorn because this is a long one...

Worth it

Maka drinks her strawberry milkshake as tapped her foot nervously, this was the first time she have ever skipped school. Yes, the goody-goody Maka Albarn missed out on her academics to "have fun". It was her friend, Liz, who used the great power of peer pressure to make the poor girl do such a crime. But what's even worse is that Liz ditched her for this supposedly hot guy she's been seeing often.

Now Maka was sitting alone in this 50's themed diner drinking a milkshake, letting the rock and roll music in the background blast in her head. The milkshake was so big, Maka didn't even know why she gotten a large when she was a bird eater. Pain and nervousness mingled in Maka's stomach, she sat up from her booth and walked to throw her milkshake away-

CRASH!

Maka bumped into someone which sadly made her unfinished milkshake splash on her favorite shirt, and black jeans. The glass stuttered into pieces on hard floor, spilling the remaining milkshake on the ground. Maka backed up in utter shock, could her day get any worse.

First, her best friend ditches her for a random guy, who in Maka's option is a total meathead jerk. Second, her perfect attendance is down the toilet, and she gonna fall behind in her classes. And finally, this dumbass toped the icing on the cake by making her spill her milkshake on her shirt.

Just great.

"Oh damn, my bad, here-" Maka looked angrily in her current direction to see a guy (a very attractive one at that) grabbing napkins from the nearby table. The handsome guy tried to wipe the strawberry milkshake off her shirt, but it didn't really help, it actually made it worse by smearing it deep on her shirt. Soul realized he was making matters worse and stopped rubbing her shirt, "Oh man, I made it worse didn't I. Hey I'm sorry for bumping into you." Soul used other napkins to wipe the milkshake off the floor and picked up some glass, throwing it in the trash.

Maka fake smiled and picked up the remaining glass,"Oh, no it's ok, it was just an accident...really you didn't mean it." Soul stared at her for a little while and thought of something."Then how about I take you out, y'know to make up for that shitty move." Soul said. Maka hesitated and looked around the restaurant to simply avoid his eyes, she wasn't really good at talking to guys, she's not like Liz who can easily talk to guys with no problem.

"Uh...well I uh, you see...umm." Dammit Maka get your shit together, theres a really cute guy asking to take you out, and your ruining it, get your head in the game girl! "Sure,why not." Maka smiled shyly. Soul slick grinned widen and kept his hands in jacket pockets, "Cool, my name is Soul, what's yours, Blondie?" Maka rolled her eyes at her nickname.

"My name is Maka...Maka Albarn." Why did I tell him my full name, he could be a serial killer, Maka thought. Soul nodded, " Maka, Maka, Maka Albarn." Soul said her name trying to memorize it, like he was studying for a test or something.

"Well Blondie, lucky for you I'm a guy who knows a lot of places in this town, so we should get going shall we?" Soul opened the front door and Maka walked out in front of him. She can't believe what she's getting herself into, she's skipping school with a guy she just met, her day was truly bizarre. "So, where's your car?" Maka asked, looking around the parking lot. Soul walked beside her and pointed at the vehicle, Maka's jaw dropped.

It was a orange motorbike, Soul cranked it up and it roared with life, Maka was still paralyzed in fear. Soul swinged his leg over and turned his back to the frightened girl, he patted the seat signaling her to hop on, but Maka shook her head. "I am not getting on that thing." Maka said.

Soul gasped dramatically , "Excuse me, but my baby girl is not a thing, don't worry Abigail, she's just jealous you're a kickass motorcycle." Soul whispered to the vehicle as he rubbed it affectionately. Maka was weirded out at this moment but she realized she can't talk because she treats her books like they're her own.

" O...K...well anyway if I'm getting on "Abigail" then I need a helmet" Maka said. Soul gave her a look, snickered, then started to chuckle loudly. Maka face flustered and punched him in the arm, "Why are you laughing, is it funny that I care about my own well-being." Soul died down his laughter and shook his head repeatedly, "Man, you really are a prude, hate to break it to you girlie, but I don't do helmets." Soul said. Maka had an irritated look on her face but to be honest she was appalled, was this guy out of his damn mind, did he not care about his life at all.

She walked slowly to the "Death Machine" and sat behind Soul, ackwardly wrapping her arms around his waist. "Heh, make sure you hold on tight or you'll fall off, Blondie." Soul said as he continue to energize the engine. Maka silently prayed that she makes it through this day alive and don't end up in the hospital, she was too young to die, it was still many things she wanted to do in life, like finish all of her books.

Ok, that was a lame do-before-I-die wish, but she still wants to live until she's old and rumpled.

Soul backed up from his parking space and drove lickety split toward the street. Maka practically death gripped his waist as her hair was blowing in her face. " No need to squeeze the life out of me, Blondie." Soul yelled against the loud motorcycle. Maka soon wondered what this guy is even taking her, what if his taking her to a sketchy warehouse and tries to kill her. Maka, calm down, breathe, it's probably not like that, just wait and see what happens, if he tries anything creepy I'll just call the pol-

"We're here" Soul said.

"Huh." Maka looked up to see the Death City Mall, a bunch a people were walking in and out the mall. There were old couples, mothers with their babies, overly-loving young couples, and teenagers probably skipping school (like me). Maka snapped out of it by Soul's finger snapping in her face, "Hey, Blondie stop having your head in the clouds, do you want a new shirt or not." Soul said.

Maka was starting to getting annoyed by this new nickname, "Why do you call me Blondie so much anyway!" Maka said. Soul had a smug look on his face and shrugged his shoulders, "Oh I don't know, probably because you're blonde. Duh!" Soul said in an sarcastic tone. Maka rolled her eyes and sighed, "You're an asshole" Maka spat bitterly. "But you can resist me though, Blondie" Soul said. Maka groaned and stomped towards the entrance of the mall, Soul walked closely behind her.

"So...where do you want to go?" Soul looked at all the girly stores as they walked through the masses of people. Maka ignored him and walked in this store called, "Hunky-Dory". Soul sighed at the dorky name, can this girl get any lamer, he doesn't know why but its something about this girl that's so enticing. I might be her pure nature, her witty personality, or that cute thing she does when she gets nervous, who knows. This girl was sure something else, no doubt.

"Welcome to Hunky-Dory" a black haired employee said in a skilled mellow tone of voice. Like she did this to a million other customers so it comes automatically when anyone comes in. Maka went over the women's section and looked at different shirts and pants.

Soul sat on one of the benches and played a game on his phone, him and lady shopping do not mix. He remembers the days when his mother took hours just to find one outfit for a fancy party, and his mom made him go to pick out the perfect suit for a "classy" young man.

"Soul come over here for a sec." Maka shouted to him. Soul turned his phone off and walked over to see what Blondie needed. She held up two shirts, "Which one in your opinion do you think would look better on me." Maka said. Soul observed shirt #1, it was a long sleeve gray shirt with a panda face in the middle of it. Nah, it looks too childish, even for a child-like girl like her. He looked at shirt #2 now, it was a short sleeved white shirt with the face of a deer wearing nerd glasses. Too hipster, Maka is not really the hipster type, and what is with this chic and animals on shirts, how old is she, twelve.

"Maka those shirts are not cool for you, one shirt is too childish and the other shirt is too hipster for someone like you, let the fashion master pick you out something." Soul took those two shirts back where they were and looked at the clothing racks. Maka followed him and looked to see what the strange teen was up to. Soul looked around thoroughly at the different outfits and checked them out.

Soon after he took a dress off the rack, he walked up to Maka and hold up the dress for Maka to see. It was a medium sleeved pink floral dress with a nice addition of a pastel pink bow wrapped around the waist.

Maka gasped at how beautiful it looked, she touched it and turn it around to see the back. Soul looked at the price tag, 20.38$, that's a good price for a pretty dress. "Now this is the dress that's more your style, and it's on sale for 20% off, and by the look on your face you seem to really like it." Soul gave the dress to Maka and walked towards the cash register.

Another employee with dirty blonde hair, fake smiled at the two of them. Maka put the dress on the counter and stared at the employee who was eying Soul a little bit too much for Maka's liking. Soul didn't notice and starting digging into one of his pockets.

Maka observed the employee more as she scanned the dress, she had a bucket load of makeup on,her employee shirt wasn't buttoned all the way that showed a bit too much of clevage, plus she kept eying Soul and bit her lips as she did it. Maka started to feel annoyed, she didn't know how but she feels irritated by this girl's very presence.

Is she feeling...jealous?

NO! No way, she doesn't like Soul like that, she just met the guy an hour ago. So, how can she feel so possessive over him when this bimbo walked into the picture. "That'll be 20 dollars and 38 cents" the cashier said in a overly sweet tone. Maka got out her money and Soul slapped her hand away, "Ah Ah Ah, I'm paying remember, it's a payment for ruining your shirt." Soul said as he got out his wallet.

He took out the money and hand it to the cashier. The cashier flipped her hair dramatically and wore a seductive expression on her face. She took the money and put in the cash register, she wrote something down on paper and slipped it in with the extra money she gave back. "Thank you for shopping at Hunky Dory." the cashier said in a flirty tone. Maka face twisted into a miffed expression and walked out right beside Soul with a bag in her hand.

Right when they got out Soul took out the remaining money out of his pocket and found a piece of paper folded. Soul scrunched his face in confusion and unwrapped the folded paper. It had a phone number, the blonde haired cashier's, "Looks like someone's desperate to get my attention." Maka snorted at that.

Soul stuffed it back in its pocket, which disappointed Maka, she really hopes he doesn't call her. Bimbo or not, that cashier has Maka beat with looks, she has more defined curves that her and can look sexy even in a work uniform. Maka snapped out of it and turned in front of him. " Um, thanks for buying me a dress, I really appreciate it." Maka said.

Soul smiled and patted on Maka's head, " Its nothing Blondie, it's a makeup for messing up your shirt." Soul pointed at the her shirt that now had dried up milkshake on it. Maka smiled, a moment of silence lingered between the two. Maka looked around awkwardly, "Well...I guess this is goodbye." Maka said slowly. " Hey let's go to the movies" Soul said ignoring the girl's farewell. "Oh no, I-I can because..." Maka trailed off. "Oh c'mon Blondie, don't tell me your thinking about going back to school,you can't because by the time you get there it'll be your late period. Once you skip you never go back." Soul said grabbing her hand walking towards the movie theater.

Maka groaned, just stopped struggling out of his grasp and let Soul dragged her away. She realized that he won't listen to her anyway and he did have a point about going back to school. It was 12:47, and if Maka goes back now she won't get there until 2 and that'll be her last period. It's just no point in fighting with this dude either, one minute she bumps and spills her milkshake, now she's with a cute guy going to the movies. Her day was indeed getting interesting alright.

Soul and Maka went into the movie theater and Soul used his remaining money for two tickets to see "Furious 7", the new Fast and Furious movie (it was Soul's choice). Maka went into the bathroom to change into her dress as Soul got snacks, drinks, and buttery popcorn for the two of them. Throughout the movie, Maka really enjoyed herself, Soul choose a great movie to pick. She really likes this Soul character, he's very fun and chill and Maka is starting to truly enjoy his company.

After the movie Maka and Soul went to do other fun things, like played "Dance Dance Revolution" in the gaming area, went bowling, and went to jump in the trampoline park. Later around 6 p.m. they went to eat pizza at the local pizzeria, getting to know each other soon becoming good friends (despite the heavy flirting, and the way they were looking at each other).

Now it was around 9 p.m. on a tranquil Friday night, the two lovebirds teenagers were sitting on a bench in the park. Lights were wrapped around the branches on the trees, making the park shine dazzlingly through the darkness of the night. Soul had his arm around Maka and Maka had her head laying down on his broad shoulder.

Soul stared at the dark sky and Maka had her eyes closed, smiling blissfully. "You know, for a blonde goody-two shoes you really know how to let loose and have fun." Soul said. "And for a mischeveous bastard, you really know how to have real fun, not just sex, and partying...unlike my brother." Maka whispered. Soul looked down at her, "You have a brother?" Soul asked. Maka nodded, " His name is BlackStar, and he is just a simpleminded jerkwad onlying caring about himself, he does have his "nice" moments though" Maka explained.

Soul stared at the girl wide eyed, "Wait! That blue haired idiot is your brother." Soul yelled. Maka opened her eyes and shot her eyes at him, " Wait, you know BlackStar?" Maka said diquisitively. "Your damn right I know that blue haired ape, I hate to say it but he's one of my closest friends I got. And here I am hanging out with his little sister he's been nagging about all the time. Man, the world is a small place, I tell ya." Soul said.

Maka raised her eyebrow, "Wait a minute, he's been nagging about me?" Maka said annoyed. Soul snickered and said, "Yeah, things like she needs to live her life and be like her awesome big bro, and said that a god like him needs a cooler little sister. And I think I see his point now..." Maka punched his arm and pouted her lips in annoyance.

"Why is she so damn cute when she pouts like that" Soul thought to himself. Soul patted her head and rubbed her hair fondly. "I'm just teasing Blondie, your actually pretty cool to hang out with. Violent and vicious but cool deep inside." Soul said. Maka blushed deeply and soon started to yawn sleepily.

"Looks like someone had too much fun..." he sighed and sat up from the bench, " Well lets gets you home before you pass out, but you'll have to tell me where you live first." Soul said holding out his hand for Maka to take. Maka took his hand and sat up, rubbing her eyes to stay awake, "Um...I live in "Finis Apartments" its two streets south from here." Maka said.

Soul nodded and walked towards his bike with Maka walking slowly but close behind him. When Soul got to Finis Apartments, Soul offered to walk her to her apartment. Maka agreed and walked with Soul to the 3rd floor of apartment complexes. They stopped at apartment "527", and Soul faced her. "Well Blondie, I guess this is goodbye..."Soul said rubbing his neck.

Maka laughed a little, " You'll never stop calling me that,would you." Soul smiled and started to push the excess hair from her face. Maka looked into Soul's eyes and Soul started to lean in, "Maka..." Soul whispered as he got closer.

"You said my name..." Maka said, she leaned in too. This will be my first kiss ever, Maka thought nervously, her heart beated swiftly, Soul will be my first-

" MAKA WHO IS THIS PUNK, YOU BETTER NOT HAVE HURT MY LITTLE GIRL YOU CRIMINAL!" a annoying voice yelled.

Cocked Blocked.

Maka snapped her face back from Soul and immediately turned to the source of the troublesome voice she knows all to damn well. A man with short red hair, wearing a white shirt and gray pants was standing by the apartment door, looking angrily at the teenage boy. Soul looked at Spirit then back to Maka, pointing at the crazy redhead, " Yo, Maka this is your old man?" Soul said casually. Maka sighed and said, " Yes this is my papa. Papa this a good friend of mine, Soul Eater, he took me home when I didn't have a ride." Maka left out the part about Soul and her hanging out.

Her father will flip his shit if he knew if they had hung out all day today. Soul held his hand out to shake but Spirit looked at him with disgust and slapped it away. This made Soul irritated, " Hey old man, I'm trying to be nice by being polite, you don't have to be a bitch about it." Soul spat bitterly. "DON'T PLAY INNOCENT, YOU PROBABLY TOUCHED MY PRECIOUS BABY WITH YOUR FILTHY HANDS!" Spirit continue to yell, the whole apartment corridor can hear the crazy redhead. Soul smirked slyly, " I did more than that, old man." Soul said pulling Maka right beside him.

Spirit fumed even more and was about to charge at him until Maka shoved him inside their apartment complex and walked with Soul to the main lobby. Maka blushed and punched Soul's arm, "Really Soul, did you have to infuriate my father by telling him that lie?" Maka said.

Soul shrugged his shoulders, "He was being annoying so I set him straight. Jeez, and I thought BlackStar was annoying but your father won the fucking crown. I envy the toleration you have with your family" Maka burst out laughing causing some people to stare at the two of them.

She calmed down and hugged Soul's chest, "Well they are my family, Im stuck with them so I have no choice but to love them." Maka muffled in Soul's chest. Soul still heard with she said and wrapped his arms tightly around her small body. They stayed like that for a moment, then Soul pulled Maka out of his grasped, looked deeply into her green eyes. He leaned in and stole her first kiss. They way his lips moved against hers felt like magic, you can tell he was experienced the way he was kissing her gracefully, and firmly.

Maka practiced kissing her stuffed animals in her preteen years to feel ready when the real thing happened. But this...this was real, it was not a stuff animal pretending (in Maka's mind) to kiss back. This was a nice, handsome guy kissing a girl he'd spilled her strawberry milkshake on hours ago. After a few sweet moments, Soul pulled back ending the kiss with Maka panting from the oxygen exchange.

"See you later Blondie..." Soul said huskily into Maka's ear, he put something in Maka's hand and folded her hand so it won't drop out. Maka didn't see what he put in her hand, she watched the mysterious guy walked into the distance until she couldn't see anymore of him. Maka touched her lips, still trying to recall what just happened a few moments ago, she sighed and started walking to her apartment complex.

By the time she got there, her father was sound asleep, and Maka quietly tiptoed to her room. When she laid down on her bed, she forgot her hand was still folded tightly with something Soul gave her. Maka opened her hand and found a folded piece of paper in her hand. She sat up and opened it up, it was the same paper that bimbo gave to Soul.

Her numbers were scratched out with a pen and had Soul's phone number written with a little note saying, "You and me Maka, Death Beach, I'll pick you up by 1 tomorrow, also wear something cute ;D" Maka blushed and rolled her eyes at that last comment. Wait there was more...

" P.S. your way sexier than that chic at the register earlier, she has nothing on you Blondie!"

Maka gasped and squealed in her pillow, can this guy be any more attractive. Maka sighed and stared at her pink ceiling. This was by far the best day of her life, now that she thinks about it, she's glad she skipped school today. She's glad Liz had ditched her for a guy today, she's glad her favorite shirt was ruined by a strawberry malfunction.

She met a cool, good-looking, kind guy today so it was totally worth it.

That is it for today, told ya it'll be long.

Anyway I hope you enjoyed this one, please comment, and fav this story.
