Maka p.o.v.
Me, Liz, Patty, and Tsubaki walk around the mall together. We get to the food court and get some frozen yogurt and sit together.
"So how is school so far for everyone?" Tsubaki asks.
"Its ok. This one teacher is really creepy though. He always stares at me in class" Says Patty.
"He's probably a pervert" Says Liz.
"Yeah but still. He gives me the creeps" Patty replies.
"How is school for you Liz?" I ask.
"Its ok. High school is more complicated than being home schooled, but I am making more friends" Liz replies. "How have you been doing Maka since, you know, the dance"
"I'm fine I guess. I see lots of pictures of me on facebook from the incident." I reply
"Just ignore them. Those people are jerks and aren't worth your time" Says Tsubaki.
"Guys I need to tell you something" I say. "After I got splashed with paint and ran away, I..." should I tell them about Medusa? And how I thought they put together the prank? No, they would think that I wouldn't trust them ever.
"Whats wrong?" Liz asks.
"I ran to the top of the school and... I was going to jump off" I say. They all gasp before standing up and running to me and hugging me.
"Oh my gosh Maka. Thank God you didn't" Says Liz.
"Yeah, Soul stopped me just in time" I say. The girls sit back down in their chairs.
"You and Soul are perfect together." Says Tsubaki.
We finish our yogurt and walk around the mall.
"Hey, let's go in here" Says Tsubaki, pointing at the new store that opened called "Hot Topic". We walk inside and look at the stuff. I look at one of the shirts and feel someone bump into me, causing me and that person the fall over. The person lies ontop of me and stares at me with fear. The person has pink hair and wears black clothing.
"I'm so sorry!" He yells before standing up and leaving the store, crying.
"Wait come back, its ok" I yell, standing up and chasing after him.
"Go away! I don't know how to deal with people!" He yells before he starts running off. I stand in the mall in confusion. Who was this guy and why was he so scared?
"Whats wrong Maka?" Liz asks me.
"Nothing, lets just continue shopping" I reply.
...
Soul p.o.v.
"So how is your plan working out?" I ask Death the Kid as me and Black Star play Call of Duty as Kid plays on his phone.
"Its not going the best. I doubt that Liz is jealous, and Olivia is obsessed with me" Kid replies.
"Isn't that the whole reason you went out with Olivia? To make Liz jealous?"
"Yes and I don't know how i'm going to tell Olivia the truth."
"Then don't." I say. "Just break up with her and say the "its not you its me" line, you know?"
"Yeah I guess- why the hell did that guy die so asymmetricaly? If he was going to die, why not die with integrity?" Kid says.
"You can't control how you die Kid" Says Black Star.
"So you're saying that when I die, I will be asymmetrical!? Gah!" Kid yells before dropping to the ground.
"There he goes again" I say.
"I can't believe that I've worked so hard my entire life to have everything and everyone as symmetrical as possible and when I leave this world I will be asymmetrical! Why cruel world!? Why!" Kid sobs uncontrollably. His cries go on for another hour until me and Black Star decide to stop the game and cheer him up, which took around ten minutes.
...
Two weeks later
Maka p.o.v.
I sit in my chair at school as I listen to the teacher explain the project.
"You and a partner have to make a presentation on soul wavelengths and how they can affect you in battle. Please choose a partner." The teacher explains. I sigh as I look around the room. I sadly don't have any of my friends in this class. I look to the back of the class and see a boy wearing a black shirt and black pants sit alone. I recognize him. He's the boy that bumped into me at the mall. He has pink hair and sad eyes. I grab my books and walk to the back.
"Hi, I'm Maka. Do you want to work together?" I ask him. He looks up at me.
"I actually wanted to work by myself for this project. I'm new here and I don't know how to deal with new people, especially girls" He replies.
"I'm sure you're fine. Whats your name?"
"Crona."
"Cool. So will you be my partner?"
"Um, but I don't know how I can deal with other people"
"Please?"
"Ok fine."
I smile as I grab a desk and sit next to him. I open my binder and open to a blank sheet of paper and grab my pencil.
"So I think we should make a PowerPoint on... Crona?" I say but notice that Crona got a paper cut. A little bit of blood trickles from his finger. His blood looks kind of strange though. He turns to me and gives me the creepiest face ever.
"My blood is black you know" He whispers.
...
I sit next to Soul and my friends at lunch. I look over and see Crona sitting by himself against the wall.
"Hey Crona, why don't you come sit with us?" I say to him. He looks up at me with wide eyes.
"Are you sure? I don't really know how to deal with other people" He says.
"Come on Crona." I say with a smile. He stands up and awkwardly walks to our table and sits on the other side of me.
"Guys, this is Crona. Crona, this is Black Star, Tsubaki, Death the Kid, Liz, Patty, and Soul." I say. Crona just looks down at his lunch and starts eating.
"Hey Crona. Are you new here?" Liz asks. Crona nods as he continues to eat.
"Where are you from?" Liz asks.
"A place worse than Hell" Crona replies. We all look at each other with wide eyes.
...
School ends and me and Soul sit at the kitchen table as I tutor him.
"So how do I find the mass number again?" He asks, scratching his head.
"You minus the protons by the neutrons" I reply.
"You lost me" He says dropping his pencil and leaning back in his chair.
"Well maybe if you paid attention in class you would understand this" I say. He rolls his eyes and leans forward again.
"Oh, I forgot to ask you something. Me and Black Star are going to a concert next week. Want to come?" Soul asks me.
"What bands?"
"Halestorm and Three days Grace"
"Sure sounds like fun. Anyways, back to homework" I say.
"Ugh"
We continue working until I suddenly hear a knock on the door. Soul stands up and opens the door. "Guys we need your help!" Says Liz as Soul opens the door. "Patty was kidnapped!"
Author note: Hi guys! I'm so sorry I took so long. You guys have no idea how bad I feel. Lately I've had writers block so I didn't know what to write and also I've had so much homework I haven't really had a lot of time to write. Guess what though, I no longer sit alone at lunch! The only downfall is that the girl I sit with hates anime but thats ok, I respect her opinion. Now, I normally don't reply to reviews but thank you Kasai for your review, it made me cry. I didn't realize I seemed like a cool person haha, normally people think people like me are weird or think that since I'm a Hippie, I'm on drugs which sucks. But thank you so much for the review, I really appreciate it. Ok, thats all! Peace and Love to all of your beautiful souls!
