4 Years Later, 1 Month Before Maka Leaves

"What are we doing Tsubaki? I just want to read my new book!" I complain and move my glasses up my nose. Yup I got glasses when I was 13. Soul still make's fun of me calls me a geek and picks on me, and pulls my hair. He's 15 for God's sake and he still acts as if we were 8 years old.

"I told you Maka we have to go to the park, Black*Star is playing a huge game of freeze tag and he asked if I would come!" She tells me for the millionth time this weekend. She still has a major thing for the almost 15 year old. "Yeah but why couldn't you bring Patty or Liz?" I complain while she drags me through the park. "And why is he playing freeze tag, when he's a teenager? I thought he was too old and to much of a God to play kid games." I say with sarcasm.

"Well that's what makes him so funny! He acts cool and stuff but he really is just like a little kid deep down! And everyone else is coming too EVEN Crona! Can you believe it!" she says and I roll my eyes. "Whatever, I'll play for a few minutes, then I have to go read my book it's due soon and the next one comes out soon!" I say thinking about my book that I so desperately love.

Tsubaki laugh and we walk onto the playground with a lot of the kids from school sitting in a school in a circle with Black*Star telling the rules. "Hey Black*Star, sorry we're late it took a while to get Maka to came." She nods her head to me and Black*Star smiles brightly. "HEY TSUBAKI! I didn't think you would come Albarn." He smirks at me and I roll my eyes, "I came for Tsubaki, she begged me to come and I can't tell her no."

Soul looks up at me and smiles at me and I scoff. "What are you looking at Evans?" I sigh and see him smirk. "Nothing to look at tiny-tits." He laughs along with the circle of kids laugh and I flush with embarrassment and anger. "MAKA CHOP!" I yell with a smirk on my face. He fell to the ground crying out in pain. "Don't push it shark boy." I sit down next to Crona and Liz. "Hey guys." I say and they both wave and smile.

"Listen up mortals! The rules are simple. When you get touched by the IT person you stop dead in your tracks and no moving until someone whose not it unfreezes you. Understood?" he explains and all the kids agree.

"Good now since there's so many of us, I'll pick several IT people. Hmm Jackie, Harver, Kid, Liz and Patty are IT people. The rest of us are the people who run. Stay away from the IT people as long as you can last one to stand unfrozen wins!" Black*Star yells and we all cheer.

"Okay IT kids give us a ten second head start to run away, Ready on your mark get set GO!" Black*Star yells and kids start running like crazy. I head to the slide that I plan to hide under. Once I get there I curl up into a little ball and watch the feet run around me.

After a few minutes of waiting I here Kim shout. I look behind me and see that Kid froze her. She's literally only like 10 feet away if I can just run and unfreeze her and then run back to my hiding place I'll be fine.

I poke my head out to see the cost is clear and I make a run for it. Kim sees me coming and smiles. I touch her shoulder and she bolts the other way, without a word. "You're welcome!" I say and turn to make a mad dash for the slide when I see Harver behind me. My eyes widen and I shake my head. "Crap." I turn to run for it but he touches my back and I freeze.

"DANG IT HARVER!" I yell and he laughs and heads off to find another victim. I mumble under my breath about how stupid this game is and how I wish I never came and I look up when I hear someone whisper my name.

"Go away Soul I don't need your help." I whisper to the bush he's hiding in and I hear him chuckle. "Oh I think you do. Your frozen." He tells me like I don't know and I huff "You think I don't know that." "Well come on then." He jumps out of the bush and grabs my hand and runs to the little wood area. I'm pretty sure it's a nature persevere not a big one but we run into it anyway.

"H-Hey let go o-of me I'm not some th-thing you can drag around." I kick myself for stuttering. He laughs, "Not even a thank you." He says. "I don't need to say thank you, you dragged me into the woods, and how am I suppose to know that you won't try to kill me." I say and pull my hand out of his grasp.

He then stops and looks at me something like a smirk yet a smile appears on his face, he walks closer to me and I back up. "That's true, I guess your going to have to trust me huh." He keeps walking forward and I look at him with wide eyes. I take another step back and I hit a tree.

He chuckles. "M-me, tru-trust you. Never." I say. "I wouldn't say 'Never' bookworm, remember last time you said never. You said you'd never fall for me, but look you are all over me." He traps me between his arms that are on either side of my head, I gulp and try to not meet his fire burning gaze.

"Bull crap Soul if anything, you're all over me." I say bravely. And watch something flash through his eyes. He gets closer to my face and I feel his breath on my face. "Maybe I am. Hey I have a question." He pulls back a little and looks into my eyes. My eyes go wide. "Have you ever kissed anyone?" I stiffen because I haven't not even close.

"Why do you need to know you perv? It's none of your business." I hear him chuckle still not breaking the eye contact. "So you haven't well do you want to?" he asks and I give him the 'where the hell are you going with this' look he leans closer to me and my breath hitches.

"I'm going to kiss you." He says and I close my eyes like I actually want this, which I don't he's just got me trapped. I feel his top lip brush ever so slightly on my bottom lip and I feel a shock. Then I hear laughing.

Soul jumps away and I open my eyes and look to my left I see Black*Star rolling on the floor laughing. "How * did * you * know I * was * watching you * guys!" he pants between laughing. I look over to Soul and see a red stain on his face.

"Of course I knew you were there, man Best prank ever huh." He laughs nervously and I stare wide-eyed at him. "Dude I thought you were actually going to kiss her! I can't believe it! Man that would have been so messed up!" He says getting up from the ground and walks over to Soul. "The look on her face, man the look on your face I swear for a second I thought you actually wanted to kiss her! Best actor ever!"

Soul snaps his head over to me and I crumble, 'Of course it was a prank! Why would he ever want to kiss me! No one wants to! Why do I care so much? I don't want Soul to be my first kiss never in a thousand years. Why are my cheeks wet?' I snap out of my thoughts and see that tears are falling down my face.

"Are you crying?! Oh God you wanted him to kiss you didn't you? You are in love with him aren't you! This is perfect!" Black*Star laughs again and Soul looks at me with wide-eyes and I know I have to get out of here as fast as possibly.

I wipe my eyes but the tears won't stop and I let out a shaky sob/breath. "Maka are you alright?" Soul asks and I start to run. He steps in front of me and tries to stop me. I look up at him and see hurt flash through his face and my breath hitches again. "You got me Soul. Good job. Best prank ever. Hey listen I really have to go. But amazing you actually got me this time, never thought I'd see the day, wait I forgot never say never. Good bye Soul." I push past him and I hear him call after me but I run out of the forest and let the tears fall freely.

Once I got out of the woods I see that the game is over and everybody's calling Soul's Black*Star's and my name, looking for us. "HEY LOOK ITS MAKA!" somebody yells and then a crowd of kids circle around me.

"Hey Maka where did you go? We looked everywhere for you." Kid says and I see Tsubaki and Crona giving me funny looks and I notice that I'm still crying. I sniff and wipe my eyes but its no use.

"I-I'm fi-fine guys, rea-really. I have to get go-going I'll see y-you around." I tell them and start to push my way out of the circle and I hear Soul yelling my name behind me.

"MAKA! PLEASE WAIT LET ME EXPLAIN!" He yells and I stop and turn around. Black*Star and Soul appear from the woods and I sniff back all my tears not wanting to cry in front of them.

"Leave me alone Soul I'm done with you." I tell him and am proud of myself for saying that without sobbing. "Maka, please listen, you don't understand." He begs and I hear the kids in the circle gasp and move into a bigger circle to give us some space.

"No, don't worry Soul I understand really I do. You've been at my neck since I was 7 I'm not stupid. You wanted to pull the best prank ever on the little nerd, so instead of putting worms or other bugs in my lunch like when I was 9 you wanted to see me crack and admit defeat." I say and he opens his mouth but I cut him off.

"Hear you go I'll admit," I turn around and face everybody. "Soul Eater Evans beat me. After 7 years of war he won. He saw me crumble right under his hands. Do you guys want to know what the ultimate prank was, that made me give up everything?" I ask and Crona speaks up. "Ma-maka please lets ju-just go, I don't kno-know how to deal wi-with thi-this." I shake my head no and turn to face Soul who was a lot closer then last time.

"Sorry Soul if this ruins your cool guy ego but, this boy right hear Soul Evans, unfroze me and dragged me into to the forest." I say and hear some of the boy's chuckle. "He asked me if I could trust him and I said no. he then trapped me against a tree," I hear Tsubaki, Liz and Patty gasp and look over to see that Crona and Kid look absolutely furious.

I look back over to Soul and meet his gaze and I'm instantly caught in his eyes, they look so hurt and sorry. "He almost kissed me." I see him flinch. "Yup he was so close to me and if Black*Star didn't pop out of the bush laughing, to be honest I would have actually thought he meant it. But that's crazy right, the boy who's been torturing me since second grade all of a sudden wants to kiss me. I fell right into his trap. But I don't like him nor am I falling in love with him. I wouldn't kiss Soul if he was the last boy on earth. He just caught me by surprise." I say.

Then the kids around us burst out laughing and saying things like 'good job Soul.' 'Never thought you had it in you best prank of the year.' And 'why would you even try to kiss miss violent bookworm?' and I give myself a sad laugh.

"Maka it's not what it looks like please just come with me and I can prove to you that it's not what you think, I didn't know Black*Star was there!" he yells and all the kids stop laughing, and stare at us with wide-eyes. "I don't want to hear it Soul, I'm done with you. You won the last battle. Isn't that all you ever wanted was to win, well hear you go I admit it you pulled a great prank." I said and grabbed his hand and shook it, "Truce, It's over Soul, you don't need to put up with me anymore, and I don't need to put up with you." I say and let go of his hand and walk away.

When I got home it was about 6:00 p.m. and mama and papa are waiting for me in the kitchen. "Hey honey we need to talk." Mama says and papa nods to the chair across from them. I take it and give them a questioning look. "What's wrong?" I ask hoping nothing wrong because I can't deal with anymore drama tonight.

"Yes sweetie you father and I have discussed this more time then once and it's very hard to tell you this but your papa and I are getting a divorce." She says and the tears well up in my eyes again. "Are you joking with me because I can't deal with anymore pranks tonight?" I ask and papa nods. "Its true angel, I'm so sorry but, you see sometimes people make mistakes. They think there in love, when really its just fake." He tells me and I look to mama. "You guys never loved each other?" I ask and she says, "No honey that's not it, we loved each other for along time, but we just grew out of it. We've known each other since high school and fell in love and got married when I was pregnant with you." My eyes widen.

"So it was my fault you guys don't love each other?" "WHAT? ANGEL ABSOLUTLY NOT!" My papa yells and the tears are falling now. "Sometimes people just fall out of love, instead of loving each other they hurt each other, they don't belong to each other. We need to find are real soul mates Maka. I need to ask you a very important question." Mama starts and I nod.

"Do you want to stay here and live with papa and all your friends or do you want to come live with me in California?" I already had my answer ready.
