Boo! I'm having a hard time writing what I see. I apologize for making you guys wait. Maybe this is why I do not own Soul Eater. Well enjoy!
Again, at the same time…
Good-bye? Ha! Soul listens in on the two chatty girls from down the hall, pretending to stare at the bulletin board. Soul wasn't really anticipating on listening in but his name popped up and he couldn't help it. Guess it's a habit.
"You can't be serious! Don't see it as goodbyes, see it as life…"
"In life, things change." Girl number 2 was somewhat mumbling but it was clear for Soul to hear. Hell, things do change and that was a fact. Soul was getting tired of the girls' chattiness. Something about their voice sent Soul the wrong way.
"So does love. I mean you have to take risks but sometimes you have to fight for what you want." Bingo, it was time for Soul to leave. Soul couldn't stand the feeling love. Everyone that he ever saw always acted like they know what this 'love' is but in all honesty, Soul couldn't even come close to believing it. Yes, he has feelings for Maka but it's only been over a weeks since the break-up. He's not that cruel.
"Yeah but is it worth it? Fighting I mean. You fall in love and in the end, you get hurt because that someone doesn't have the same desire as you." Girl number 2 pushed herself off the lockers, staring at her friend. "How do you know?"
The conversation was getting somewhat interesting but Soul was getting tired. It was late and he just wanted to nap. Soul started to walk away, looking somewhat sluggish with his hands in his pockets. What should I eat? Soul thought. What is even in the fridge?
Before Soul walked out of the hallway, he heard girl number 1 respond back to girl number 2's question.
"Logically you don't know but in your heart you just do…" The door slams behind Soul. My heart huh?
All this week, he has been trying to avoid, no, been trying to make himself disappear from her life. Why? Soul had broke Maka's heart, even his own if he made to admit it. He thought he knew every little thing Maka did, her schedule more or less. Maka should have been out of school before 4 but she wasn't. After Soul left the school, he took his usual route to his house, the opposite way from Maka's. This route worked the best for him especially when Soul didn't have his bike. Man, Soul hasn't seen his baby in months, since February he thinks. How long does it take to fix a bike? Soul hopes he gets it back before graduation at least. But anyway, as Soul was minding his own business, he heard someone crying. Okay, not too odd since he was close to a sand pit that was called a park.
When Soul slowed down to listen carefully, he swore that he could have heard this before. Soul shouldn't have slowed down, he shouldn't have been paying much attention but he did and he regrets it. On a bench that face the park and away from the sidewalk, he saw her. Soul saw Maka with swollen red-eyes, tear marks on her left cheek and worse, he couldn't do anything.
Okay, maybe he could, I mean, it's so not weird for your ex-boyfriend, which is Soul, to be comforting you, which is Maka, right? Okay, it's a little weird but for Soul, to be seeing Maka so down, so depress, Soul felt heart-broken. He wants to help her, just sit by her if possible but if he did, his feelings for her would overcome his doubts. Soul is not trying to be a jerk or anything but he's scared. Sorry for being an ass.
Before Soul did anything risky, he walked away, plain and simple. He couldn't help her because seriously, he is probably the last person Maka ever wants to see if he wasn't dead to her already.
Once at home, Soul rewind the evening in his head. He felt bad about what he did. He has feelings for her but just like the chatty girls said, in the end, you get hurt. Soul wish things were different but he's not good enough for Maka. Hell, what made him ask her in the first place?
Stupid love, Soul thought as he rated the fridge.
