'Love Somebody'
I can't barely move my body, I was too lazy to do anything. I opened one eye, still half asleep. I felt Nachos's head on my waist and I moved free from it. It was already nine AM, so going straight to the fridge for breakfast, the appliance lit open and there were only a few supplies. A jug of water, asparagus and carrots.
Smacking my hand on my forehead, I cursed to myself that I forgot that I need to buy supplies in the house. "Oh no... So stupid" Not talking to anyone in particular, I changed into my white floral dress and slippers. I never really got to wear this dress but it was just lying on the closet and I felt guilty for abandoning it. I checked myself on the mirror...
I looked paler than a ghost. My arms and legs are too thin for my body and I looked like a fourteen years old teenager, not exactly like my 17 years of age. I sighed because things aren't going to be better with my stupid body, maybe that's why I have friends fewer than five.
But never mind that, I opened the blinds of the house and the light of the sun shone across the house, opening the air conditioner, I let Nachos stay in the living room. "Nachos, where did I put your leash?" I stooped on a cabinet full of his stuff but I can't find his red leash.
Sighing, I looked everywhere but nothing... I'm so stupid today and I need to shop soon, Nachos would cry if he's hungry. "Fine... Just walk with me without a leash and don't run anywhere you don't know" I lectured, before I opened the sliding door and let Nachos walk outside first, before locking the doors.
The white sand sank on my feet and it was a wonderful morning to start a day but not for me. I still felt lazy about everything. Nachos barked at me, he was quite ahead of me seemingly to tell that "hurry up". I rolled my eyes at him.
"Fine, fine... Go ahead" He ran from the direction of the market place, which was a ten minutes walk from where I'm standing. In that market place, it consisted of two aisles in each side of the road full of stores of different kinds of food. Fruits, vegetables, bread... You name it and they have it. I made a few friends in the market place, they often greet me by my name and I greet them back by their's. But it was very different to have a friend the same as your age.
When I reached the market place, I saw Nachos sniffing apples with the lemons. I immediately walked towards his direction. "Maka! I thought you lost Nachos... He's still a good dog" The old lady with a wrinkled face and the most genuine smile she applied on her face said. She patted Nachos on his head before he licked her hand.
"He was supposed to be attached in a leash but... I lost it... Anyways, Ms. Garcia, my usual supply of apples, lemons and grapes please" She nodded, taking a plastic and placing the items.
"Oh, Maka... You looked more beautiful with that dress. Why'd you only wear it now? Especially that I'm old... I mean, I never get the chance to see you everyday in that wonderful dress" I smiled back in return, feeling flattered by her compliment.
"Thanks, Ms. Garcia. And you still looked stronger than usual... You better take those vitamins like you promised" She cackled a wrinkled laughter which only resulted to her, coughing badly about it. I patted her back and gave her the price of the supply.
It went like this and I didn't felt lazy again. Seeing the smiling faces of the people I know made me feel like I was part of the family here in Monte Carlo. Lastly, I went to get Nachos's dog food, this was the tricky part. I need to carry a sack of dog food to my house.
I nagged at myself about how small I am because of carrying a sack of dog food which was twice my weight. Nachos ran towards the pet shop, it was worth it going to the shop because Tsubaki was the one who assisted in the shop. My cheeks hurt and complained that my smile wouldn't left my face, I felt excited of seeing her again. Because I never get to see her everyday since she was busy with both school and the shop. While I'm busy taking care of myself and home schooling myself.
I learned a lot but I learned more when Tsubaki teaches me about things I can't understand. Reaching the shop, Tsubaki beamed a smile and I never get tired of feeling anticipation whenever I see her smile. It's like, it was already normal for me to feel that and it triggered when she's with me.
"Maka! You look so beautiful! I told you, you should wear that!" I felt embarrassed and at the same time flattered, because the whole community or the places I went into noticed the change of my style. Considering I always wear shirts and shorts. "Y-yeah, I found it lying in the closet. Oh... How are you and Black Star?"
"Oh... We're okay. He's still loud but he's kind and caring. How about you? Anyone you like?" When she asked her question, my mind suddenly pictured Soul, with his smile under the moonlight. "N-nothing... Anyways, uhm... The dog food... The one I bought before, do you still have it?"
She nodded and I paid for the food, oh no... This is it. Carrying the sack, I was about to carry it behind the back, when Nachos ran away from my sight. "Oh no... Nachos" I moaned, watching him run.
"Uhm, Tsubaki, I will get back for the sack... I need to get Nachos" Before I know it, I was fastening my legs until he's visible on my sight. He was still running. "NACHOS! NACHOS!" I yelled but he wouldn't run back to me, so I followed him instead.
My lungs was already burning for oxygen and my legs were turning wobbly, I saw my pet with someone but the back of the person was turned away from me. I started to get the blackness in my vision when finally I made it. I forced my eyes closed, my hands placed on my lap, breathing heavily.
"W-w-water... I-I need water" I felt someone offered me a bottle, so I opened my eyes and took it. Still not aware of who it was, I waited for myself to catch my breathe. Five minutes after I caught my breathe, I felt a hard yet placed the hand soft on my small back.
I turned to my side and I was surprised to see Soul beside me. He gave me this look of concern, he wore this black jeans and a white tight shirt. He looked unfairly attractive, while I looked like a wet cat, drenched from my own sweat.
"J-just ran from-from the pet shop until h-here... N-no big deal" To much of a scene, my knees wobbled but Soul supported me. He held me tight like I was so important. "You need to rest... Why did you even run? Jesus, you could have fainted" I felt his concern and this warm feeling inside.
"I... Nachos ran away from me... I-I lost his leash"
"Oh, his leash? I got it but... I sort of lost it, so I bought him a new one" He placed a red leash with red paws printed randomly on my hand. I smiled in content. "T-thanks, Soul... I hate it when Nachos ran away from me. How'd you find him?"
"Oh... I didn't do anything. I just felt that he scratched my knee and when I turned around he was behind me"
"Okay, you really need to rest-"
"But Nachos's dog food is in the shop"
"I'm going to get it... Go inside that car" He pointed towards a red subaru. "You don't have to do this, you know"
"I know... I just want to" With that, Maka walked inside the car with Nachos on the back. Soul placed a few things inside and Maka showed the direction of the shop. I noticed his muscles flexed when he carried the sack from his back. He did it effortlessly, while I did it with so much struggles.
He placed it in the trunk and he walked back to the driver's seat. "Soul, I'm sorry to disturb you"
"What? I don't have plans... I thank you for giving me stuff to do"
"Well, since you carried that killer of a back sack, I should treat you with lunch. If that's okay with you" I don't know why I invited him but it feels like I should. He gave me that smile again, showing his cute little dimples and his eyes gleaming with anticipation.
"Anyways, Tsubaki... Well, she said you need to tell her about what you talked about earlier" He informed me. I narrowed my eyes, thinking about what Tsubaki was saying. When I realized she was talking about Soul. I felt myself tense when I gazed at Tsubaki, she winked at me, as if to pass a secret message.
