The next day
Maka p.o.v.
I wake up in the morning to my father shaking me awake.
"Hi my precious angel" He says with a smile. I push his arm and sit up.
"Why are you waking me up? Normally my alarm wakes me up" I moan.
"Yes, but I just feel so lucky to have you as a daughter that I felt I needed to wake you up"
"Just shut up and leave my room" I say before standing up and pushing him out. I slam the door and take a deep breath. Does he ever leave me alone. I shake my head as I walk to my closet. What should I wear today? Hmmm. Oh, I could wear my new shirt that I bought from Blue Notes. It's a cute t-shirt with a Yin and Yang on it. I throw on my usual pink sweater over top and slide into my skinny jeans. I go into the bathroom to brush my hair and see a condom on the counter. Not again dad. He needs to stop bringing women into my personal bathroom. Its just gross. I pull off a piece of toilet paper and wipe the condom into the garbage. Once I finish brushing my hair, I tie up my hair into two small pigtails just above my ears. I smile at my reflection before heading down stairs.
I pour myself a bowl of cereal and sit at the table. My dad decides to sit across from me.
"What?" I ask him.
"Why does there have to be a reason for me to love my little Maka"
"Just stop talking. Actually, I have a question"
"I KNEW THIS DAY WOULD COME!" My father cheers with glee "I KNEW ONE DAY MY LITTLE ANGEL WOULD ASK ME FOR ADVICE! ASK FOR JUST A HINT OF MY WISDOM! Go on dear, ask away!"
I roll my eyes.
"Why didn't you tell me that once I choose my partner that I move in with them?"
"Well, because you're not"
"What do you mean? Soul told me-"
"I'm going to ask Lord Death if I could have you continue to live with me!" He says smiling proudly.
"What!? Why would you do that!?" I yell in anger.
"Because what if you're with someone who does drugs? Or is a murderer? Or is addicted to sex?"
"Dad, you're addicted to sex"
"Thats not the point" He protests "The point is that I think you'll be safer with me"
"But dad, Lord Death says we should move in with our partners so our souls connect easier and we can fight better!"
"True, but I know what's best for you-"
"Don't you say that" I interrupt "Don't you ever fucking say that! You do not know what is best for me! You cheated on mom, you're a prostitute, you practically stalk me wherever I go, and now you're preventing me from becoming a better Meister! I'm moving in to the DWMA with whoever my partner is if you like it or not!"
He sighs and crosses his arms. Suddenly, there's a knock on the door. I walk to the front door and open it.
"Hi Soul" I say.
"Hey Maka" He replies. "Do you want a ride to school?"
"Sure" I reply.
"Oh no you don't!" Yells my dad. "You are not gonna do anything with him. First, its a ride to school. Then, its a ride in bed"
"DAD!" I scream before smacking him really hard with my book. He falls to the ground in pain.
"C'mon Soul, lets go" I say as I walk outside. Soul hops onto his bike and I follow behind. I wrap my arms around his waist as I did last time and we drive off. The wind smacks my face as we leave the neighborhood and so I dig my face into the back of his leather jacket. He feels warm. I like it.
We speed down the highway until we arrive at our destination. The DWMA HighSchool. He finds a parking spot and we hop off.
"C'mon, we'll be late" I say as Soul digs through his backpack.
"Just a second" He says. He grins widely as he pulls out a flower.
"Here, its for you" He says as he hands me the squashed flower.
I blush.
"Thank you"
"Sorry that it got squashed. I just thought that lately you've been bummed about how everyone is being mean to you so I thought this flower would cheer you up"
I smile at Soul
"Not everyone is mean to me. I have Tsubaki, Black Star, and you"
He smiles and we walk inside.
...
We walk into the classroom and sit in our usual seats. I hear a group of girls giggle and point at me. They whisper into each others ears while staring at me and laugh. I roll my eyes and pull out my books. The rest of the class pours in, followed by Mr. Sid and everyone sits down.
"Good morning class. I have a special announcement. We have three new students joining our class today. Please give these students the utmost respect and give them a kind welcome."
He then leaves the room and comes back in with three kids. The one in the middle has black hair and three white stripes on the left side of his hair. He wears a black T-shirt that says "Fallout Boy" on it and wears black skinny jeans. The taller girl to his left wears a tight red sleeveless shirt with a cardigan over top and she wears skinny jeans. The smaller girl to the right wears a white crop top with a tie die smiley face in the middle and a jean vest over top. She wears short shorts with peace signs on them.
"Class, this is Liz, Patty, and Death The kid" Says Sid. I lean over to Soul.
"Thats Kid?" I whisper to Soul.
"Yeah. I don't know why he's here" Soul whispers back.
"Please take a seat anywhere" Sid says to the three students. There's an empty desk behind me and Kid sits there.
"Hi Kid" I whisper. He raises an eyebrow.
"Do I know you?" He asks.
"I'm Maka. We talked on the group chat on facebook"
"Oh right. You're the new girl"
"Well, not anymore technically. I thought you said that you didn't need to come to this school."
"Yeah, well, turns out that there are a few things I don't know that my father never told me"
"Oh, ok." I say before turning back around and facing the front.
...
Once first class finishes I stand up and turn to Death The Kid.
"Do you want me to-"
"Hey new guy!" A girl interrupts. She's one of the girls who were talking about me and laughing at me.
"I am so sorry that you're stuck sitting behind the nerd. If you want, you can switch seats and come sit with me" She flirts.
"I'm quite fine sitting behind Maka. And besides, the lack of symmetry in your face would just distract me" Kid replies. The girl laughs.
"Cute and funny. I like you. Let me give you some advice, if you want to not become the class nerd as well, don't talk to that Maka girl."
"Now let me give you some advice" Says Soul, stepping between Kid and the girl. "Leave Maka alone, or you and I are through"
Wait, Soul and that girl at dating?
"And honestly" Says Soul "I don't like the fact that my girlfriend is flirting with another guy"
"I'm not flirting" She says "I'm giving him a warm welcome like Mr. Sid said."
Soul just growls and walks off. I grab his arm.
"You guys are dating?" I ask him. He nods.
"Yeah, we are"
"But she never sits with us or-"
"She's been sick for the past three days. She just came back today"
A fire begins to burn inside of me, but I don't understand why? Soul leaves the classroom and when I turn to the girl, she gives me an icey stare.
"Excuse me" Says someone. I turn and see the two girls who were standing with Kid.
"Hi, I'm Liz and this is my little sister Patty. We're Kids weapons" Says the tall girl.
"Oh so you guys are his weapons. I'm Maka."
I shake hands with both of them.
"I was just wondering, where did you get your shirt? Its so cute" Says Liz.
"Oh, I got it from Blue Notes." I reply.
"I love that store!" Says Patty.
"You love everything" Says Liz. Patty nods in agreement. Kid somehow shakes off the girl and walks up to us.
"Ah, so you guys met Maka" He says.
"Yeah, she's pretty cool" Says Patty
"You're the first person to say that to me. Almost everyone here hates me"
"Why?" Asks Liz.
"I don't know. They call me a nerd and a geek, but I don't understand"
"Is anyone nice to you?" Patty asks.
"Only Soul, Black Star, Tsubaki, and you guys" I reply.
"That sucks" Says Liz.
"Yeah, yeah it does."
We walk down the hallway together and suddenly I feel someone push me against the lockers. Souls girlfriend holds me by my shoulders.
"I don't know you that much, but I don't like you. If you ever talk to Soul, even LOOK at Soul, it'll be the last thing you do."
She releases my shoulders and walks down the hallway.
