We all climbed in Liz's hot pink jeep and started driving out of the small city. I sat up front with Liz and Tsubaki while Kid, Patty and Crona sat in the back. "Hey Maka, do you have a piercing?" Liz asked out of the blue. "What?" I look at her and raise my eyebrow. "Come on Maka, almost all the girls in California get at least one piercing." "Yeah I have one." I admit. "HAHAHA! WHERE IS IT? WHERE IS IT?!" Patty is suddenly climbing over the front seat moving my hair out of the way looking at my ears. I slap her hands away yelling, "Patty get the hell off me and put your seatbelt on. Crona control your crazy girlfriend." He nods and pulls Patty away.
"It's my bellybutton." I tell them lifting my shirt up above my bellybutton to show them my dragonfly piercing. "SHUT UP MAKA! THAT'S SO BADASS!" Patty yells and I laugh. "I like it Maka it's cute, but I never thought you would get a piercing." Tsubaki smiles at me. "Wow Maka I thought it was going to be a little ear piercing. You have changed a lot." Liz tells me I look back to see Kid's jaw dropped and Crona was looking away with a bright blush on his face.
"Jaw up Kid." Liz sneers and Tsubaki and I giggle putting my shirt down. Kid clears his throat and sits up. "We're almost there guys a few more miles." Liz says pulling on a dirt road. "Wait so you guys invited the whole school?" I ask and Kid speaks up. "Yes, all of the kids that we went to school with will be there." He tells me and that bad feeling comes back into my stomach.
"Are you alright Maka? You don't look to good." Tsubaki asks putting a hand on my shoulder. "When you s-say everyone, do you me-mean everyone?" I ask and look at Kid. "Yes what's that matter everybody wants to see you?" Kid says. "L-like Soul?" I say and watch him freeze and gulp loudly. "Black*Star said he was going to bring him, but Soul doesn't go to these kinds of things so there's a good chance you wont run into him." Tsubaki smiles at me and I sigh with relief.
"We're here!" Liz says happily and hops out of the jeep. "Wait Maka come here let me fix you." Liz pulls me to the side of the jeep. "Go on guys we'll catch up!" Liz waves them off and they all nod, and walk towards the glowing fire.
"What are you doing?" I ask as she pulls out a purple case. "It's my emergency make up kit." She says with a shrug and I ask, "Why are you pulling it out?" "These people last saw you with braces and glasses, now you look freaking hot. You need to show it off a little. Come here." She grabs my hand and pulls me closer, I squeak in protest.
She rips my black tank top off my body to reveal my black bra. "LIZ WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU DOING!?" I scream covering myself. She laughs and says, "Chill out put this on." She hands me a small black belly shirt. "I can't wear this!" "Yes you can. You have a great stomach and a cute dragonfly piercing, and not mention you have great legs, like I mean I'm jealous of them. When you have a body you have to show it off." She shrugs and I yank it on my body feeling very naked. "Good now let me put some eyeliner on you." I give up on trying to struggle, because ever since I met Liz it's always been, 'What Liz wants, Liz gets.
"There, you look SEXY Maka. I can barley recognize you." She laughs and I blush pulling on m white short shorts. "Thanks I guess, but how will people now its me if I don't look like me?" I ask, "And what do I do if I see Soul? I do not want to see him!?" "Listen, you got picked on by all these jerks when you were little, its time to show them that your not a little girl anymore and make them feel really stupid for thinking that you were always going to be a little shrimpy bookworm. And as for Soul, if he even comes, he won't know it's you. I could barley tell who you were when I first saw you. So just give him a fake name or something and stay the hell away from him." Liz tells me and I nod. "You're right. Thanks Liz you're the best." I hug her and she says, "I know I am, now lets go prove those mother fuckers wrong!" We laugh and start walking to the bon fire.
We got to the bon fire when Patty was telling everybody about the time Crona took her to the zoo to see giraffes and she got to feed them. Liz goes and sits down next to Kid and lays her head on his shoulder. Everybody stops talking and looks over at me. I freeze and swallow what ever is left in my dry throat. "Who's the hottie?" A guy named Hiro asked. "Yeah, is she new? Does she have a boyfriend?" Kilik yells. "Chill out boys! You guys you all know her. Just think." Liz says. "Maka is that you?" Kim asks and I nod. "HOLY SHIT MAKA!" Harver yells and I giggle at all the nosebleeds from the men in the crowd. "Come on Maka, sit next to me." Tsubaki pats the spot next to her.
"Maka, you look fucking hot! What happened to your braces and glasses?" A boy named Markus asked and I laugh, "Well braces only stay on for four years usually and I wear contacts now, I still wear glasses when I read though." I tell him and he nods. "And that bellybutton ring, fucking perfect. It's so you." Jackie laughs and I blush. "Hey Babe, you have a boyfriend?" Hiro sits next to me and puts his arm over my shoulder and I cringe. I looked over to an obviously drunk man. "No, and I don't plan on having one anytime soon." I tell him and pull his arm off me. He curses under his breath and moves away.
A little while later I hear a loud obnoxious laugh followed by a loud "YAHOO!" "Black*Stars here." I say with sigh, and Tsubaki starts to mess with her hair. Even after 4 years of being together, she still acts as if they have been going out for a week. "HEY BABY!" Black*Star comes up behind us and kisses her. "Hey Black*Star." She smiles and Black*Star turns to face me.
"Who's this chick?" Black*Star asks and I laugh as he raises an eyebrow. "Nice to see you again Black*Star." I tell him giving him a once over and see that he has a real star tattoo on his shoulder like when we were kids on Halloween. He's wearing white shorts and a black tank-top his blue hair is stinking up everywhere and is eyes are still the same blue/green that they were.
"And what might your name be, a God like me never forgets a face. And I don't remember meeting you before." "Maka, Maka Albarn." I shake his hand and his jaw drops. His eyes leave mine and roam all over my body. When Tsubaki hits his arm his eyes land on my face and I smile. "Maka Albarn the little nerdy bookworm that I picked on when we were kids?" He asks and I nod. "Holy mother fucker! What the HELL happened to you? You look like you just came out of a magazine!" he yells and looks over to Tsubaki, "But still not as hot as my Goddess." She giggles. "I grew up and California has its ways." I sigh and look at the fire. "No shit." He grumbles and takes a seat on the other side of Tsubaki.
"So Maka, I was wondering," A guy named Seth sits next to me and I roll my eyes. He the 9th guys that's tried to hit on me tonight. "You wanna go out with me maybe get a drink or something." He asks and I stand up and yell, "For the last time, I do not have a boyfriend, and I am NOT may I repeat NOT looking for one. What happened to all the times you guys picked on me and called me names, what happened to those guys and not these gross pigs!" I stomp my foot. "That was before you were hot Maka, if I would've known you'd be this hot in a few years I would've snatched you up when I had the chance." Hiro says and I roll my eyes. "I'm taking a walk." I look at Kid and Tsubaki and see them nod. "Do you want me to come with?" Liz asks and I shake my head no. I walk to the cooler and pull out a full bottle of Jack Daniels and match away. I hear Black*Star say. "You guys are real dicks you know that." And then I find myself sitting on a log in the middle of the desert.
Half a bottle later I'm laying on my back looking to the sky. The whole night sky is filled with millions of tiny stars. I used to love looking out my window at night to watch the moon and look at the peaceful city. Where I lived in California, it was always to bright out to see many stars. Too many lights and people were always busy even at the latest hour of the night. It was never quite where I lived and I like being out here, where everything is still and beautiful.
I'm in the middle of taking another sip when I hear a stick break. I turn my head around a little to fast and get dizzy. I try to shake it off when the stranger laughs. "What *hiccup* do you want." I say. He laughs again, "A little drunk are we?" he steps out of the shadows and I see white hair and red eyes and I'm suddenly sober enough to think straight.
"No, I'm not. Now go away." I tell him and instead of going he sits next to me. I turn my head so he can't see me face. "Well to be honest I can't go. I'm actually waiting to see someone and I really don't want to go to that stupid bon fire with a bunch of drunks." Soul tells me and I glance at him. "Who are you waiting to meet?" I ask already knowing the answer. "Just this girl I knew when I was a kid." He tells me and I'm thankful that it's dark outside so he won't recognize me. "What's her name?" I ask and he looks at me. "Maka Albarn." I laugh under my breath.
"Everybody's here to see her aren't they? I don't get it they all hated her when she was little and now they all want to see her and 'make friends' with her." I say and look over at him. He raises his eyebrows. "And how do you know all of that?" I think quickly, "Some guy named Kid told me." I see him nod and I let out a sigh. "I'm Soul, Soul Eater Evans." He holds out his hand and I look at it, remembering what Liz said, 'just give him a fake name.' I smile and take it. "Angel." I say without thinking. He smirks, "Pretty name, I like it." I smile, "Thanks my papa insisted it be Angel so I could always be his precious little angel." I laugh and he smirks looking at my half empty bottle of alcohol. I giggle, "What he doesn't know wont hurt him." He laughs at this.
"So what brings you here?" Soul asked me and I glance at him still trying not to show him my face. "I, I just moved here. Heard there was a bon fire and said what the hell and here I am." I lay back down to look at the sky and he follows. "That's cool where did you move from?" I gulp, "California." He looks at me funny but shakes it off. "That's cool."
We are silent for a few minutes when I speak up. "Why don't you go and see if Maka's at the fire it's been a while." I say and he sighs. "Honestly, I'm scared shitless." I'm interested now. "Why?" I ask. "We were what you would called enemies from the first day we met." He chuckles but continues. "She couldn't get her juice open at lunch and started hitting it with something, I was walking past her to get to my table when it flew off the table spraying red soda all over, it landed on my tray and covered me red." I think to myself, 'He knew the whole time it was an accident and he still tortured me.'
"I got her back though, tripped her on her birthday and she fell in her cake." He shrugs. And I say, "If you knew it was an accident, then why did you get her back?" "Well I'm not sure really, she was fun to pick on. And she wasn't like the other girls, when I picked on them they thought it was because I liked them, but when I picked on her, she fought back. I liked that about her." He smiles and I blush.
"People said that you hated her." I whisper and he chuckles. "We were enemies. You can't like you enemies." He says and I nod in agreement. "It was fun messing with her, her face would get all red and she would hit me with her book. She knocked me unconscious once." He laughed and I giggle at the memory. "Why couldn't you guys be friends?" I ask. "I wanted to when I was 14, I was getting tired of fighting with her, she may have looked like a nerd and acted like one but she was cool in a lot of ways." He says and I gasp. "You won't tell anyone will you?" he asks and I say, "No." when I should have said, "I'm Maka." "The saddest day of my life is when she told everyone she was moving one day in class, she was still pissed at me for a little thing that happened a few weeks ago and wouldn't talk to me or let me explain." He frowns and I look at him with wide-eyes.
"What was the little thing you did?" I ask feeling tear in my eyes. "I, I was 15 and we were playing a game of freeze tag, she got frozen like the little nerd she was and I dragged her into the nature preserve, I had this feeling in my gut telling me that what I was about to do was right that if I didn't do it now I wouldn't have that chance again." He says looking up to the sky and I sit up. "What were you going to do?" "I trapped her against a tree and told her I was going to kiss her." He says with a shrug. "And she didn't stop me, so I thought maybe she wanted to kiss me to. I didn't know what I was doing it was going to be my first kiss and hers too. I was so close I felt her lip brush mine and then Black*Star popped out of a bush laughing and ruined everything." He sighs and a tear falls from my eye but he doesn't see it.
"Well why didn't you tell her that you liked her?" I ask wanting to know the answer. "I couldn't, she wouldn't talk to me. She wouldn't let me get close to her, she wouldn't fight me like she used to. You wouldn't let me explain, that what happened that day at the park was real and I had no idea Black*Star was there." He sits up and looks at me and I squeak because he knew it was me.
"You're not that great of an actor Maka, I mean come on using you middle name that's so corny." He laughs and I stand up. "Shut up you jerk, why didn't you tell me you knew it was me!" I yell and he stands up to. I look at him as he looks at me, He is really tall standing at about 6'2 and I have to look up to catch his eyes. He's tan and very muscular not a much as Black*Star but you can defiantly tell he went to the gym regularly. He was wearing a red shirt and black jeans and it made his eyes pop. His eyes haven't changed at all they are still that same beautiful crimson color. His cheek bones are perfect and shape his face nicely. His snow white hair is longer and covers his whole face if he looks down. To sum it all up the 20 year old in front of me was God damn sexy.
