AN: Sorry I haven't updated in a while, I've been working on my cosplay of Black Star. I always start writing at like 11pm then post the chapter the same day at like 2am I like being awake at night I guess. Most of the reviews have said Maka x Twins so I'll try my best! Don't hate me if I screw up! Oh and I forgot to mention in this story all the host club "class" is in the same grade, the first year of high school which here is grade 10. Sorry if that confused people, I thought I should explain. Sorry for going on and on, here's my latest chapter!
New Class, New Friends
It's been a week since I entered my new school, and each one of those days has been more fun than the last. I quickly realized that this school for the rich didn't really require a lot of hard work. We only had 2 hours of class time a day! Back in death city school days were long, hard if you didn't study, and boring if you sat alone.
"Hey, Maka! Turning my eyes caught the glimpse of pure white, "I forgot to do my homework again can you give me your answers?"Soul always was asking for my answers or my notes, anything that could help his awful grades. "Soul you know you're never going to pass if all you do is copy other people's work." My tone emphasized the fact that today wasn't a good day. My partner, being one to never miss anything, easily picked up on that. "Maka?" soul's voice dropped into a low comforting whisper, "is everything okay? You don't seem like yourself."
"Maka?" Reality wouldn't let me stay in my memoriesfor any longer so I was snapped back to my classroom. Turning my gaze from out the window I focused on two identical pairs of amber eyes. Over this past week I've found myself becoming quite close with these two. This had its ups and its downs; on the upside I had not one but two people who I could trust equally, but on the downside they always seem to know when something is wrong with me. Which I have to admit is most of the time.
"Yeah what's up guys?" I flashed them a big smile hoping that they would fall for my over-used line. "C'mon Maka you know that won't fool us. Or are you still going to try to convince us that you're 'fine?'" my cringe was visible as they added air quotes to the word.
"Guys I'm really ok. I'm happy that you two are always here for me, but this time you're just going to have to believe that I'm ok." I could see the two of them pondering this but I really didn't feel like having a big conversation about my feelings, so being the slightly shy person I am, I decided to grab my books and go study in the library. I hurried to my desk to grab my books before anyone could stop me. While I was scooping them up I saw the corner of a picture I knew well poking out from inside a leather-bound journal. I didn't think anyone was watching me, and I sure didn't want anyone reading this journal so I shoved it to the bottom of my bag.
"Maka-chan what's that?" hurrying to close my bag I turned to face the shorter boy. Looking into those deep brown eyes that were sparkling with curiosity I felt bad lying.
"Sorry honey, I really have to go. I'll see you guys later okay?" Without waiting for a response I all but sprinted from the classroom. I could hear the faint echo of my classmates calling my name but I had to get out of there. Continuing running away I calmed down enough to hear a rattling sound. I knew the sound well; after all I had been familiar with it for a few years now.
Sitting down at the nearest table I tried to calm myself, this is supposed to be a library right? Then why is it bigger than my entire apartment?! Casually strolling through the shelves I noticed an intricate pattern on the ceiling. Becoming more curious I continued to admire the roof when I felt myself walk into something. Hearing the thud that didn't come from me hitting the floor I realized I was pinned down. My head hurt so at first I couldn't focus my vision. All I could see was a blur of blue. I was contemplating what in an empty library I could have knocked over that is blue when my lost my train of thought.
"Maka? Is that you?" willing my brain to function I realized I had bumped into, knocked down, and was now pinned underneath none other than Mori. The moment I realized what was going on my vision cleared. Now that I could see I took the opportunity to examine his facial features. I tried to look at him but I found myself being drawn into his slate colored eyes. Several moments passed, neither of us moving an inch until I realized where we were.
"M-mori, I…" I began, a blush rising to my cheeks, "what are you d-doing here?" As if only just realizing how we were positioned, a shade of crimson spread across his cheeks all the way to the tops of his ears. Seeming totally out of his usual calm and collected character he scrambled to get up.
"S-sorry." He stuttered nervously. I sprang to my feet before suddenly collapsing. I felt so dizzy and my head was throbbing. Reaching to touch the back of my scalp I winced, and bringing my hand into sight I saw it was covered in a layer of blood. Not wanting to worry my classmate I hid my hand behind my back before saying,
"I'm fine Mori I'm just going to head home." I flashed him a smile of reassurance so that he would believe me. Turning away I walked as fast as I could while the hallway was spinning around me. The last thing I could remember was seeing someone in the hallway before I faded from consciousness.
Mori's POV: Maka seemed to be a bit flustered as she sped away from the library. I turned towards where we had fallen and saw a fair amount of blood on the corner of the bookshelf. She must have hit her head! I ran through the hallways but there was no sign of her anywhere. I wonder where she could have gotten to.
Kyoya's POV: Heading towards where I knew our families' chauffeur would be I came across my new classmate Maka on the floor bleeding. Doing the only thing I could think of I picked her up in my arms and carried the impossibly light girl to the car. Getting in the back I laid her down with her head on my lap. Seeing that her injuries weren't too severe I decided that she should join my family for dinner.
She moved around a bit and made a few mumbled sounds in her sleep. Gazing at her sleeping face I saw no trace of the sad expression she always tries to hide. Because in her sleep she smiled. And not one of the fake smiles she plasters on every day to stop the worried questions.
Running my fingers over my wrist I realized at the sight of her smile, mine as well which has been fake for years is now genuine. I don't know why but for the first time in a long time I don't feel worthless. I feel important. Like there's actually something- or should I say someone- who's actually worth living for.
AN: I was thinking that all the characters should have a few dark secrets of their own… *wink wink nudge nudge* so if you have any ideas please let me know I would love to hear them! Thanks to everyone who has read, reviewed, and followed. It really makes me happy, but to a more important note I most likely won't be posting for a while because of a family vacation. But I will try to write not one but twooooo chapters to be posted on the 26th! Bye guys!
