3 Years Later, Halloween.
I get out of my bed with a yawn and look over to my clock, 8:30. I smile it was Saturday and it was also Halloween. Me and my friends except Crona are going trick or treating tonight. Mama said since we are getting older we can go by are selves as long as we stick together.
Crona doesn't like Halloween, he's to afraid. He said he would come by and help my mama and papa pass out candy to other kids though. Patty was kind of sad though, she secretly has a crush on him she only told me, Liz and Tsubaki though because kid can't keep a secret.
Liz and Patty are dressing up as cats and Tsubaki is being a princess, Me and Kid decided we would be pirates, Crona is being a ghost, well sort of he's just borrowing one of Kids plain white sheets and cutting eye holes in them.
I get up to brush my newly braced teeth; yup I just got braces last month thanks to Soul and Black*Star, I was walking home with Crona when we get ambushed.
Black*Star and Soul were hiding behind a near by bush throwing rocks at us. I grabbed Crona's hand and tried to run away when Soul threw a bigger rock on to the sidewalk and I tripped face first into the hard ground, messing up my teeth pretty bad.
Crona was fine, I dragged him down with me but, he landed in the grass next to me. My mouth was bleeding and Black*Star was laughing while Soul actually looked worried.
"Holy crap Albarn, watch where you're going. How's your mouth?" he asks and I glare at them spitting blood from my mouth. "It hurfs bab, you jerfs." I say trying to say, (it hurts bad you jerks.) but it didn't come out like that.
"Well your fault for being clumsy," Soul chuckled and walked away along with Black*Star that was still laughing like a maniac. Crona helped me home and papa had a freak attack.
"MY ANGEL I KNEW IT! THOSE BOYS ARE IN BIG TROUBLE! I WILL HAVE THEM SUED, I WILL YANK THAT OCTOPUSES TEETH OUT AND SEE IF HE LIKE GETTING BRACES!" He yelled while mama cleaned my mouth to get rid of blood.
"It's pretty bad her front teeth are all whacked up, I'll take her to the dentist you go tell their parents." Mama said and papa nodded and was out the door in less than a minute. "I don't want braces mama," I winced at the pain from my mouth as I spoke. "It will just give kids another reason to pick on me."
Mama sighs, "Honey they are just jealous because you're so smart and pretty." I roll my eyes. "Mama, I'm not a little baby anymore, I know they aren't jealous they are just mean." I tell her as if she were the child. "I wish I never met Soul, or even went to the school." I tell her.
"Don't say that Maka, if you didn't switch schools you would've never met, Kid, Liz, Tsubaki and Patty, oh and Crona. And did you ever think that maybe those boy pick on you because they like you?" she raises an eyebrow and my eyes go wide.
"EWW! THEY BETTER NOT LIKE ME. OR THEY WILL DIE FROM MAKA CHOPS!" I shriek in horror. Mama just laughs, "Of course, how silly boys are dumb right." She says and I nod, "Soul and Black*Star are! Kid and Crona are okay though." I tell her and she smiles and nods.
I smile to myself in the mirror and I shiver at the memory, the boys haven't stopped picking on me since my 7th birthday, they have an out for me and I don't know why. I thought Soul got his revenge when he tripped me and I fell in the cake, but I guess I was wrong.
They pull my hair, call me names, and make fun of me! They do anything they can to get under my skin and it's really annoying. They had to apologize to me after papa talked to their parents. They boys were not happy that they had to come to my front door and say I'm sorry.
I ignore them all I can, I don't pick fights with them, when I see them in the hallway I turn and go the other way, and I make sure not to sit anywhere near them at lunch. We usually sit on the roof until the next period starts.
Soul has caused me a great amount of trouble for the past three years of my life, when we were 9 he put a chocolate bar on my chair, the day I was presenting my science project in front of the whole class. I sat down and didn't notice that I sat on it and when I got up to go to the center of the room I had a chocolate stain on my butt making it look like I pooped my pants.
The whole class, even the teacher, laughed at me and I flushed with embarrassment. I glared at Soul who wasn't laughing just watching me with that smirk of his. From that day on and still sometimes to this day I get called poopbutt! That's not even a good nickname! It's so stupid!
I shake off the horrible memory and pull my hair into pig-tails, yes I know I'm 10 and I still wear pig-tails, but they've grown on my and its really hot in October. I get dressed in my clothes and walk downstairs.
Papa's at the table drinking coffee while mama's reading her book. "Hi, mama, hi papa." I smile at them and walk to the cupboards to get cereal. "Hi Angel, We have some new you might not be to thrilled with." Mama says giving me a sad look.
"What's wrong?" I take a bite of my Lucky Charms. "Well, you see we told Miranda and Jeremy Evans that I was letting you go trick or treating with your friends this year," she starts and my eyes go wide. "They said they would feel much better if Soul went with kids his own age. I talked to Nygus and Sid and they agreed, Soul and Black*Star are going to be joining you and your friends tonight." Mama says.
"WHAT ARE YOU THINKING!? They hate me mama! They've had an out for me since I was 7 you know that!" I yell and she sighs softly. "Maybe after tonight you guys can learn how to be friends, I think they are just a little shy with girls right now you know, they don't know how to treat them." She says with a little smile and I turn to papa.
"What do you think about this papa? How does it make you feel to know that your 10 year old angel is going to be out late at night with no adults with four boys?" I ask and see him freeze. He glances at mama and she gives him a hard cold glare. He gulps loudly. "I-I think, it-it's a gr-great idea." He's says with watery eyes. I roll my eyes at this.
"Fine they can come but if I don't come home tonight then they should be your first suspects, question Soul first he's the leader in their little demon group." I shrug and put my bowl in the sink and head upstairs to call Tsubaki on the house phone.
"Hey Tsubaki, I have some horrible news!" I tell her in a panicked voice. "What is it Maka? Are you alright?" she asks and I quickly reply, "No, I'm not fine guess who's coming with us tonight?" "Um my brother already told me, Black*Star and Soul." She sighs. "Yes, can you believe we have to spend the whole night with are worst enemies!" I yell to her and she hesitates, "You hate Black*Star a lot to, don't you?" I go wide-eyed. "Yes, I thought you did to?" "Well not technically," she pauses, "What are you trying to say!" "I, I kind of like Black*Star, a lot." She says and I gasp. "TSUBAKI! Why him out of all people! He's a moron and loud and annoying!" "I know, but you can't choose who you love! I think he's kind of funny and he's really cute!" she squeals like a five-year old girl.
"Whatever Tsubaki, as long as you leave me out of your love life, I don't care." I tell her. "Thank you Maka! I'm so glad you said that! And you know if you ever liked anyone I would approve also." She says with a secret message hidden in it. "NOPE! NEVER GOING TO HAPPEN! BYE" I hang up on her and fall on my bed with a groan.
'How come everybody thinks I like Soul? I don't and I never will. Why would I EVER like someone who picks on me all the time, and calls me names AND made me get braces! That ridiculous, he's an immature jerk is what he is.' I think to myself.
A few hours later we all meet at Kids house to get ready for trick or treating. "Hey Kid." I say and see that everybody except the boys are here. "Hey Maka are you excited for tonight?" Kid asks and I sigh, "I would be if the idiots weren't coming." "Ouch Maka that hurt. I thought we had something special." Soul chuckles behind me and I turn to glare at him in his vampire costume.
The girls giggle in the other room listening in to our conversation. "I would never in a million years Evans." I hiss and he smirks, "Never say never Albarn, one day you'll fall for me just like all the other girls and I'm going to have to break that tiny cold heart of yours." He says. I scoff. "Never. I'm not like the other girls in school, I see right through your cool act." I cross my arms and he steps closer. "I don't believe it. Your totally in love with me bookworm just admit it!" he snaps and I chuckle darkly and step closer. "I'm, not in love you Soul, and I never will be. Your 11 years old and you are already the biggest player in the whole school!" I snap back and see something flash across his face.
All my friends had gathered around us now and Black*Star is actually being quite for once. "It's not my fault I'm irresistible, and you're not brace face." He smirks and I flush with anger. "I only have braces because of you!" I yell and he laughs stepping closer, there's not even a foot between us. We are about the same height I might be a little taller.
"It's not my fault your clumsy Albarn, watch where your going next time." He says and I jump him. We wrestle on the floor rolling around yelling insults at each other. That is until Black*Star pulls me off him.
"Chill out bookworm, don't need to get so violent." He Yanks me away from Soul, whose getting up off the ground with Kid and Liz's help. "Are you alright buddy?" Black*Star asks. "Of course I'm fine; the flat-chested bookworm couldn't hurt a fly." He shrugs.
I yank out of Black*Stars grip, "MAKA CHOP!" I scream and hit Soul in the head and smirk when he falls on the ground grabbing his head, yelling in pain. "I'm going to go get changed Liz do you want to help me?" I ask her and she pulls her gaze away from the limp body on the floor and nods.
3 hours later, we are all downstairs in our costumes. Kid and I are pirates; Tsubaki is dressed as a princess in a dark purple and blue gown with sparkles, and a tiara. Liz and Patty are black cats with pink noses and black whiskers. Black*Star is dressed as a so-called a God, he's wearing a black tank top with jeans and he painted a star tattoo on his shoulder. Soul was is his vampire costume without the teeth because he already has sharp teeth.
"Alright kids! Listen up!" Kid's dad comes in with a camera, "I need to get pictures of you guys so huddle up." Black*Star puts his arm around Tsubaki's shoulder and she has a bright blush on her face with a small smile. Kid is in the middle of Liz and Patty, Kid has a serious face on put Liz and Patty are laughing at the camera. As for me I'm standing next to Soul and Tsubaki. I'm giving the camera a peace sign and I don't notice that Soul was looking at me smiling with a real smile not a smirk.
The camera flashes and we all cheer. "Can we go out and get some candy now!?" we all scream and Mr. Death nods and laughs. "Yes of course. Boys keep an eye on the girls, and girls watch the boys okay." He says with a wink and we all nod and walk out the door.
2 hours later its 10 o'clock and we went around the whole neighbor hood twice. "Ugh my feet hurt, God's feet aren't suppose to hurt." Black*Star complains pulling the sucker out of his mouth. "It's okay Black*Star we're almost home just a few more houses down." Tsubaki rests a hand on his shoulder and he smiles at her. 'Yuck' I think while rolling my eyes.
"Hey guys where's Soul?" Liz asks. "Yeah! He hasn't talked in forever!" Patty yells jumping up and down, either having a sugar rush or just being herself. "What are you guys talking about he was right behind…" I tail off when I turn around and don't see Soul anywhere.
"He's probably just playing around. Come on Soul ha ha very funny come on out." I say putting my hands on my hips, I'm answered with silence. "What if he got kidnapped?" Tsubaki panics. "Come on man, this is not funny!" Black*Star yells out in the open.
"Come on let's go look for him we can't just leave him out there, Kid take the girls back to the house, Black*Star come with me." I tell them. "Wow wow wait, who made you the boss?" Black*Star asks and I shrug, "I'm smarter then you are and I'm the one with a sword." I tell him pointing my plastic sword at him. "Whatever go on guys me and Maka will find him we might have left him at a house or something." He tells them and they all nod, and walk away.
"SOUL! WHERE ARE YOU?" I yell after ten minutes of walking. "It's okay Maka, we'll find him let's go check out the haunted house on the corner of the street." Black*Star tell me and I nod. "What happens if we can't find him!? I couldn't live with myself knowing I was responsible for losing a person." I tell him pulling on my low pigtails. "Wait how was it your fault?" "Well Mr. Death said we had to watch each other, no one was watching Soul! And because of that he's gone!" I snap. "It's not your fault Maka, I didn't think you would care this much." Black*Star says. "Of course I care, sure he's an idiot, but he's still a person and he has people who love him and need him in their life." I tell him and he raises an eyebrow at me. "Not me, you and his family, you know. Like all his friends and stuff." I tell him. "Yeah, let's go see if he's in there." Black*Star points to the haunted house in front of us. "O-okay, He better be alright." I mumble to myself. And I don't see Black*Star smirk at me.
"I don't see him in here Black*Star! I can't see anything for that matter!" I tell Black*Star in a harsh whisper. "Yeah come on let's get out of here." He grabs my hand and leads us out of the fake graveyard.
"SOUL EVANS STOP HIDING RIGHT NOW!" I yell out into the open, stepping out of the door. "SOUL COME ON MAN!" Black*Star screams, "YOUR GOD NEEDS YOU!" I glance at Black*Star and see he has a worried face on.
"It's okay Black*Star maybe he went back to Kids house." I tell him and he nods, "Yeah come on we can't be out here to late." He starts walking to the house. It was quite for about 3 minutes before we heard someone yell. "HEY GIVE THAT BACK!" Black*Star snaps his head up and looks down the street on the left. "Come on Maka that was Soul!" He drags me down the street and we see 3 shadowed figures two of them tall and built and the other one small and skinny, like Soul.
"HEY COME ON NOT FUNNY WES! GIVE IT BACK!" I hear Soul yell. Wes was his older brother by 5 years. "Hey Soul is that you? What's going on!?" I hear Black*Star say to Soul, who turns to look at us.
"Oh Hey Black*Star." He says with a frown. "Is that you tiny-tits?" he raises an eyebrow at me and I roll my eyes. "Yeah it's me where the heck did you go! We've been looking everywhere for you!" I yell at him whaling closer.
"Wes and his idiotic friend here came up behind me and took my candy bag! I had to get it back. Didn't think you cared so much bookworm." He smirks and I hear Black*Star and Wes chuckle and I'm happy it's dark so they can't see my red face.
"I don't care. Your mom and dad would have missed you if you got kidnapped, and I would've gotten in trouble because I didn't watch you." I say and Wes and his friend Luke I think was his name, start laughing. "I didn't know you had a little girlfriend Soul." Wes laughs and we both yell at the same time, "I'M NOT HIS GIRLFRIEND!" I scream and he yells "SHE'S NOT MY GIRLFRIEND!"
Black*Star starts laughing too. "Aw how cute! I better tell mom she would be so happy! Come on Luke we have candy to eat." Wes says. "No, hey that's mine! Give it back Wes if you wanted candy you could have gone trick or treating!" He yells to their walking figures.
"MAKA CHOP!" I yell and slam and hit both boys in the head until they fall to the ground. "There, get your stupid candy you jerk we have to go home and tell everyone your okay." I huff and turn away from a wide-eyed Soul and Black*Star.
After they get the candy they catch up to me, "U-um Thanks Maka, you know for worrying and you know getting my candy back." He rubs his neck awkwardly and I laugh. "No biggy, someone had to save your sorry butt and I didn't hit them for you, I hit them because they were annoying me." I shrug and he smirks but doesn't say anything. And we walk home in a comfortable silence the rest of the way.
Okay like I said, I'll update one more time today, and then the real story will start tomorrow! I really hope you guys like it so far it will get so much better I swear ;)
