Later that Night.
I stepped out of my long hot shower and pulled on my red bath robe. I wiped the mirror clean of the steam and looked at myself closely. I don't look all that different I filled out a lot more. My cheeks are always a little pink; I guess my eyes are greener, but still the same odd color. My chest finally got bigger when I turned 17 I'm now a C 36, and I'm proud off that. My legs are longer, and my skin is smoother. I've never had problems with acne so I have no scars or anything. I guess I do look a little different.
I sigh to myself and pull the towel out of my hair and walk to my bedroom. I open my door and look in my closet for something 'sexy' to wear. To be honest I don't own anything sexy. I may look a little different but I'm still the same Maka, a nerdy bookworm. I still have to where my glasses when I read because the contacts hurt my eyes. So after a half an hour of digging through my closet I pull out a short black skirt that reaches a little about mid thigh. I yank on a white camisole tank top and pull on my black converse, because no matter how much you beg I do NOT wear heels, I absolutely hate them.
I walk over to my mirror on my desk and sit down in front of it. I grab my makeup bag and put on light foundation, just to make sure my skin tone is even. I then put on a tiny bit of black eyeliner, just enough to see it but not enough to make it look like to much. I put on some silver eye shadow and a small amount of mascara. I take a powder brush and sweep a very light pink blush color on my cheeks. After I finish I put some strawberry lip gloss. I look in the mirror and I smile. I don't wear makeup very much but when I do I like it. I love the way I do it, I never put too much on or to less. I hate girls that drown in it. I don't see why they do, but hey it's there face.
Liz, Patty and Tsubaki are picking me up in the jeep and we're meeting Crona, Black*Star, Kid and Soul and Josh there, in half hour. I walk to the living room and look on the walls. I see pictures in the frames of me and mama at the carnival and some of me and papa at the boardwalk. I'm so little in these pictures I was like 3 or 4. We look like such a happy family, I frown a little and pass those pictures and walk around to the other wall. On this wall I see pictures of my friends from school. I laugh out loud when I see one of Liz and Patty kissing both of Kids cheeks and him closing his eyes with a bright pink face that was when we were 10. I keep looking and see one of Patty talking to Crona and holding his hand with their backs to us. I remember when Tsubaki took this picture. Then I see one of me and Tsubaki on St. Patrick's Day, we both had green shirts on that said 'Kiss me, I'm Irish.' Papa wasn't too happy that mama bought them for us. I keep looking at the pictures and I come across one that makes me stop in my tracks.
It was Halloween and Mr. Death took the picture. We were all looking at the camera except one person. Soul. He was smiling but looking at me giving the camera a bright white smile and a peace sign. My heart skips a beat and my eyes widen at the next one and it suddenly the room heats up. It's me and Soul I was 13 and I wasn't wearing my usual pig-tails that day, I was smiling at the camera but my eyes were somewhere else. The same with Soul. He had on a smirk but he was looking at me as I was looking at him. We were standing next to each other and he had his arm wrapped around my shoulders, he was taller then me by half an inch. I remember this day. It was Christmas morning and the Evans Christmas tree caught on fire. They came by later that day and asked if they could spend a few hours over at my house while the firemen worked on the living room. Soul bought me the same Peter Pan book that dropped in the creek when I was 8 and I couldn't be happier, both of our moms told us to get together and smile.
I smile and take the frame off the wall and pull the picture out. I don't know what I was doing but it just felt like it was a good idea. I turned the picture around and read what mama wrote on the back. It said 'Soul and Maka, Two Souls with but a single thought, Two Hearts that beat as one.' I stop myself from crying because I didn't want to ruin my makeup when a knock at the door startles me. I stuff the picture in my bag and open the door. "Hey girl. HOLY SHIT LOOK AT YOU!" Patty yells in my face. "Thanks Patty I say wiping the spit off my face. "HAHAHA!" patty laughs crazily and I close the door behind me and lock it.
Once I get to the jeep the girls jaws drop. I blush and sit in the back next to Tsubaki. "You look really pretty Maka." Tsubaki smiles at me and I smile back and say, "Thanks Tsubaki you do to." She's wearing a short strapless Navy blue dress that reaches a little below mid thigh and has white stilettos on. Her hair is in a side ponytail resting on her shoulder and running to her stomach. She has dark makeup on but it looks really pretty on her. Patty is wearing white short shorts and a tight black shirt with a giraffe head on it. It cuts off right above her bellybutton and she has black heels on that wrap up her ankle. She has light makeup on. Liz is wearing a short hot pink strapless dress that I feel if she beds over everyone with see a full moon. She's wearing light pink pumps and silver bracelets. She has red lips and has pink eye shadow on. I feel very out of place.
"You look HOT Maka. I didn't know you own a skirt that short!" Liz chuckles evilly and I blush again. "Th-thanks L-Liz." I stutter and the jeep fills with laughter. The whole way there I'm very quite thinking of the picture inside my bag. 'Why did mama right that on there and she wrote it with my favorite red pen that ran out of ink when I was 14. I'm not even sure what it means.' Keep thinking to myself and I snap out of it when Patty hits the back of my head. "HEY MAKA GET THE FUCK OUT OF THE CAR!" she yells and I'm scared shitless. I throw myself out of the car and Liz gives me a strange look. "We called you like 7 times, why didn't you listen?" she asks. "Oh really sorry, I was thinking." I tell them. "About Soul?" Patty giggles evilly stepping out of the pink jeep. They all giggle and I flush for what feels like the tenth time tonight. "NO! Can we just go?" I turn around and look at the building in front of me.
It was huge. But it didn't look all that crazy like a normal club would. I turn back around to the girls. "What is this place?" I ask "It's a hangout. There's a bar and a karaoke stage. You can play instruments here to. Let's just say it's a really cool place." Liz says. "Yeah Soul comes here all the time!" Tsubaki says. And I look at her. "Why?" "He likes it, it's not like the other clubs where you can barley move around, there's not a whole bunch of drunken people just a few and every once in a while he plays karaoke." Tsubaki says. "He sings!" I ask wide eyed, "and plays an instrument." Liz adds. "No way what does he play?" I ask. "Not telling you bookworm." I hear a deep voice say behind me and I jump back a few feet.
"What the hell, why not?" I ask and he chuckles but stops short and looks at me up and down. I feel very uncomfortable right now. "Y-you look n-n-nice Maka." He tells me after a minute of inspection. "Hm thanks Soul. Where's Josh?" I ask and watch him flinch and I feel a little guilty. "He, um the guys are inside, they wanted me to come see if you girls were here." He turns around and heads to the big doors. "What's his problem?" I ask Liz and she just looks at me then walks into the club and I roll my eyes. And follow them in.
When we get in I look around and take it all in there are a lot of people here, some at the bar. Some dancing on the dance floor but they are actually dancing not grinding and music's playing from a DJ in the corner of the room and the karaoke stage is empty. "Hey angel." Josh comes up to me and I smile at him, ignoring the nickname. I take in his appearance. He's taller then Soul being around 6'3 he has shaggy dark brown that covers his eyes a little. He's very built and has perfect teeth. He has beautiful sea blue eyes and is wearing blue jeans and a loose green t-shirt.
"Hey, how long have you guys been here?" I ask and he shrugs "5 minutes not that long." "Cool." Is all I say and we head to are table and see all of my friends waiting for us. "Hey guys, this is Josh, my boyfr-friend." I say and they all wave and say 'hi' except for Soul who just chugs down whatever was in his glass.
After an hour everybody (except Soul) said Josh was awesome and that he was welcome to out group. "Hey Maka, I have a dare for you." Liz says and I look up from Crona's phone where he was showing me a picture of his snake. "What is it?" I ask slowly. "I dare you to group on that stage and sing a song." My throat goes dry and I see her smirk. "WHY?" I yell and the table laughs. "Because this DJ sucks and I want to hear some good music!" Patty says and I glare at them. And then I get an idea. "if I get a standing ovation Soul has to play after me." Soul snaps his head up to meet my gaze and he shakes his head. "Hell no I don't think so Albarn." "Are you afraid I'll get a standing ovation?" I raise a brow. "You know what fine; I seriously doubt the bookworm can sing." He crosses his arms and I stand up and head over to the stage without a second word.
"Hey can you play this song, I want to sing it." I whisper the songs name in his ear and when he nod I walk up on stage and see that Soul and the others are all looking at me with wide eyes, come to think of it so is everybody. 'Here goes nothing.' I think to myself and start to sing.
Do you remember when we were just kids and cardboard boxes took us miles from what we would miss?
School yard conversations taken to heart and laughter took the place of everything we knew we were not
I take a deep breath and start sing the next verses opening my eyes and meeting Soul instantly.
I want to break every clock The hands of time could never move again We could stay in this moment for the rest of our lives Is it over now, hey, hey, is it over now? I want to be your last first kiss that you'll ever have I want to be your last first kiss.
I look away from Soul with a blush on my face. I hear some wolf whistles and I wink and get ready to sing the next part.
Amazing how life turns out the way that it does We end up hurting the worst, the only ones we really love
I want to break every clock The hands of time could never move again We could stay in this moment for the rest of our lives Is it over now, hey, hey, is it over now?
I sing to the crowd and smile at them.
I want to be your last first kiss that you'll ever have I want to be your last first kiss
is it over now, hey, hey, is it over now? Is it over now? Hey, hey, it's not over now.
I meet Souls eyes again as I sing that last few verses of my song. He's blushing. I smirk.
I want to be your last first kiss that you'll ever have
I want to be your last first love that you'll ever have Lying here beside me, palms and eyes open wide I want to be your last first kiss for all time.
The crowd goes wild and I look at Soul and smirk and he hits the table in frustration. I bow and walk off stage and towards my friends. "THAT WAS FUCKING AWESOME!" "Absolutely perfect Maka nice and symmetrical." "And so no cool." Was all I hear I look over to Soul and say, "You're up Evans." I tell him and he says a very colorful choice of words to me and then heads to the stage for his turn.
I see him whisper something to the man and he nods and walks up the stage steps, to the microphone.
She's cold and she's cruel But she knows what she's doin' She pushed me in the pool at our last school reunion, She laughs at my dreams But I dream about her laughter
Strange as it seems she's the one I'm after
He starts to sing and I feel myself freeze when he looks at me with those blood red eyes.
Cause she's bittersweet she knocks me off of my feet And I can't help myself
I don't want anyone else she's a mystery She's too much for me But I keep comin' back for more She's just the girl I'm lookin' for.
I laugh a little and I don't see Josh looking at me.
She can't keep a secret For more than an hour She runs on 100 proof attitude power And the more she ignores me The more I adore her What can I do? I'd do anything for her
Cause she's bittersweet She knocks me off of my feet And I can't help myself I don't want anyone else she's a mystery She's too much for me But I keep comin' back for more
She's just the girl I'm lookin' for.
He sings and I look at him and smile. I really like this song. He take a deep breath and walks around the stage and smirks at some girls and I roll my eyes.
The way she sees it's me On her caller ID She won't pick up the phone She'd rather be alone But I can't give up just yet Cause every word she's ever said is still ringin' in my head Still ringin' in my head.
He looks at me as if he was looking right through my soul.
She's cold and she's cruel But she knows what she's doin' Knows just what to say
So my whole day is ruined Cause she's bittersweet She knocks me off of my feet And I can't help myself I don't want anyone else she's a mystery She's too much for me
But I keep comin' back for more.
He repeats the same verse and then the song ends and I look over to Josh and see him smirking at me, I roll my eyes and see that girls are trying to get on the stage to attack Soul and are whole table burst out laughing at the look on Soul's face.
He jumps over a few people and runs over to our table. "God damn." He sighs and I giggle. "That was amazing Soul." Liz says. "Yeah, I don't see you much of a singer." Josh smirks and Soul shoots him a glare. "I try to avoid as much as possible." He says now giving me a glare. "Josh, Maka I need a picture of the newest happy couple. Give us a kiss." Liz says holding out her camera phone and I turn to look at Josh who's looking at me with the same horrified face. "N-no I don't think s-so." Josh says and I nod rapidly. "We, do-don't d-do that i-in pub-public." I stutter and Soul seems very interested. "Why not you've been going out for a year now and we just want one picture." He smirks. "You know what I just realized where's Black*Star I thought he was suppose to come tonight?" I try to change the subject. "Sid and Nygus invited him over for dinner. Now come on I just want one picture!" Liz begs.
"No I d-don't wa-want too." I say feeling tears in my eyes. I've never kissed anybody before, and I'm not about to have it with my 'fake' boyfriend for a picture. "Why not Maka?" Kid asks. "Just cause!" I stand up and hold my head. "Guys just back off." Josh says. "Are you alright Maka you look sick?" Tsubaki says and I shake my head. "I-I don-don't know ho-how to de-deal with t-this!" Crona freaks and Soul stands up. "He's not your real boyfriend is he? You've never kissed anybody have you?" He looks sorry that he figured it out like he was happy and sad at the same time. Everybody gets quite and they are all looking at me with wide eyes and jaws to the floor even Josh.
"I-I" I try to talk but I know that at any minute they are going to start laughing me and making fun of me because think of it, I had a fake boyfriend at 19 years old and have never kissed anybody. I feel like the biggest idiot in the world all I want to do is get out of here. I look at them one more time with an apologetic look and bolt for the door leaving my bag at the table. All I could think of was how pathetic I am and how stupid this whole idea was, and how I should've just gone with mama. I mean seriously my second day back home and I already run away.
I don't own Alberlin's song 'Inevitable' or Click 5's song 'Just the Girl' i also don't own Soul eater or it characters.
Please review and tell me what you think! :)
