Hey, guys and girls! Shadowmistx98 here! :D

Muahahaha! Update! *evil smile* Thank you for all the great review guys!

Disclaimer: I do not own Soul Eater. If I did, the story would probably focus on romance more than the plot. :P

Maka woke up with her alarm going off. She looked at it and took it. She turned it off with her eyelids covering half of her eyes. She took a deep breath. She didn't sleep well that night because she constantly woke up every hour of the night. She rubbed her eyes and got up. She showered, ate and wore her roller blades. Of course, she can't forget those deliveries for Liz. She left her apartment and thought about what happened last night.

Maka hugged the boxes as she slowly skated down on the sidewalk. She bowed as she took a deep breath. It was quiet and the only things she heard were birds chirping. She looked at the closed stores on her left and looked down again. There weren't many people in the morning so she didn't bother worrying about bumping into someone.

"Why can't I stop thinking about him? I barely even know him…" Maka started to pace up her speed. After a few minutes, she arrived in school. She took off her roller blades and helmet just like she usually does. She went upstairs and entered the classroom.

"Oh, hey, Maka!" Liz's eyes sparkled when she saw Maka holding the boxes. Maka smiled at her weakly and gave it to her. Then she went to her seat. Liz looked at her and so did Patty.

"What's wrong? Is she feeling sick?" Patty asked her. Liz raises her shoulders.

"I don't know…" she replied to her sister. Maka rested her chin on her arms on her desk.

"Are you feeling well?" Tsubaki asked with worry.

"Yeah, I'm fine…" Maka glanced at Tsubaki. "It's just that… I wasn't able to sleep well last night"

Tsubaki sighed. "You better take good care of yourself, Maka" she said with concern in her voice.

"Yeah, I know… Thanks for worrying…" Maka smiled at her. The bell rang and their adviser, Ms. Marie, came in announcing a book report on her subject due next week. Maka fought with sleeping in class through the whole day. It was a hard day. After long hours of waiting, school's finally out. Maka immediately stood up and bid farewell to Tsubaki then ran out to the library.. Liz and Patty approached Tsubaki.

"What's wrong with her?" Liz asked.

"She said she wasn't able to sleep well last night…" Tsubaki arranged her books inside her bag. Liz took a deep breath.

"I better go catch up with her… I didn't get the chance to give her my payment…" Liz took her bag and pointed at Patty.

"Patty, wait for me in the waiting area, ok?" Liz said with a stern voice.

"Ok!" Patty raised her thumbs. Liz ran out and searched for Maka.

Maka entered the school's library and went to pick out what book she was going to write a book report. She wanted to pick out something new. Then something caught her eye. A book that was called 'Teen Love'*. She took it out of curiosity and read it on the book. She read it fast and came across a line where the girl met the boy. The girl said to herself:

"Why do I feel this way? My heart is racing and I can't help but blush when I see him…"

Wow, talk about the same situation with hers. She continued to read.

Cathie looked from the wall that she is hiding from. She saw her classmate, Kyle, smile sweetly and laugh with his friends.
"This is insane to think but could this be love at first sight…" she whispered to herself dreamily.

Maka turned red. Love at first sight? That can't be, she barely even knew him. But she felt like she was connected to him somehow. She continued to read.

Cathie approached him slowly when his other friends left him. Kyle was all alone in with his locker. Her breath was heavy and hot when she approached him. She was having second thoughts about approaching him. She swallowed hard and began to think about walking away. She turned around slowly to walk away from him when she heard her gentle voice call her.
"Oh, hey, Cathie!"

Maka was in the edge of her seat when a familiar voice called her out.

"Maka!"

"Whoa!" Maka closed the book and stood up abruptly.

"Hey, hey! Whoa! Calm down, missy! Are you in a rush?" Liz held her shoulders and tried to make her sit down again gently. Maka sighed in relief as she did what Liz was making her do. Liz sat across her and got something from her bag.

"You scared me, Liz! I thought I was going to be attacked…" Maka sighed as she tried to find the page of the book where she read last.

"An attacker calling your name out in the school library? Geez, you really can be paranoid at times, Maka…" Liz continued to search for her wallet.

"Are you feeling well, now?" Liz asked. Maka stared at her at first then replied.

"Um, yeah. You really shouldn't worry, I'm fine!" Maka smiled at her. Liz rolled her eyes and handed her the money she owed.

"Here! Since you didn't wait for me earlier, I had to go in here to check on you" Liz placed it in front of you.

"Oh… thank you" Maka took it.

"So, it's not really surprising for you to search for books in here cause you're probably puking the books on your home already" Liz paused. Maka chuckled at her statement.

"It's not that I'm getting tired of them, I just wanted something new…" Maka said as she finally saw the page where she stopped then Liz closed it. Maka's eyes twitched as Liz looked at the title of the book.

"Teen Love… hmm… That's weird for you to read a book with solid romance… You usually read romance with sci-fi and action categories…" Liz raised her eyebrow.

"Well, I just wanted to try something new, as I said…" Maka smiled again. Maka luckily remembered the page.

"So, I'm going ahead now" Liz stood up. Maka stood up.

"ok! Thanks! Bye!" Maka waved at her as she got out of the library. Maka took out her library card and went to the library.

"Um… E-excuse me, I-I would like to check this out" Maka gave her library card and the book to the librarian. She looked at Maka from her work. She was writing something.

"Oh, of course…" the librarian with short raven hair and eyeglasses said as she looked at the book and stamped her library card. Maka looked around her orderly table and looked at her name. She didn't know her name because the lady was new.

"MS. YUMI AZUSA"

She gave the book to Maka but she kept the card.

"Um, t-thank you, Ms. Yumi-!"

"Azusa" the librarian corrected her. Maka sweated and shivered as she heard her stern and somewhat strict voice.

"H-huh?" Maka looked at her as she continued to write.

"I prefer to be called Ms. Azusa…" she said. "O-ok… Ms. A-azusa…" she bowed quickly.

"And I would recommend you to be as quiet as possible while in the library with your friend… I can't help but overhear you over that table, because of your noises…" she raised her eyebrow to Maka. Maka gulped.

"Y-yes, ma'am! I'm s-sorry!" Maka sighed.

"This is one strict librarian…" Maka thought to herself.

"Apology accepted. You may go" she said. She silently left the library. One she was in the hallway she sighed in relief. She had second thoughts of borrowing a book again in the library.

"Oh, hello, Maka!" Ms. Marie stopped by her. Maka glanced at her then replied.

"Good morning, Ms. Marie!" Maka smiled. Ms. Marie was one of the people she was comfortable to talk with yet she can't make eye contact with her.

"So, did you borrow that book for the written report next week?" she asked. Maka nodded.

"Did you come across the new librarian?" Ms. Marie chuckled.

"Yeah, she's pretty strict…" Maka looked away.

"Don't worry if you felt like she's angry at you. That's just her true nature… Azusa is a well-ordered woman and it is natural to her to be that strict" Ms. Marie paused. "You better go home now" she smiled at Maka. Maka nodded and waved goodbye to her adviser. She ran outside of her school and wore her roller blades and helmet and began to skate on her home. She went in her apartment and dropped herself on her couch. After a few minutes, she went in her room and changed to her house clothes. She went to her living room and started to read the book she borrowed. Before she started reading she looked at the wall clock. It was 6:00 pm. She looked at the window and saw that the sun was already setting.

"Oh, hey, Cathie!" Cathie slowly turned back to face him.
"H-hi!" she smiled at him.
"So, I was talking to you last time, but you suddenly ran away… Why?" he asked with a worried tone in his voice.
"M-my stomach actually turned upside down and I just had to go away..." she thought of an excuse.
"Are you feeling alright, now?" his voice turned more worried than last time. Cathie smiled at him and nodded to his question.
"So, I was going to ask you this last time… So, I was hoping if you could

A knock from the door disturbed her again. She scratched her head and looked at calendar. There was no one usually who came to visit her in her house. Another knock shook her ears again. She stood up and went to the door to open it. Her eyes widened as she saw the person standing in front of her.

"It's… It's the delivery guy from yesterday!" she thought as her skipped a beat.

"Oh, hey, miss! I'm sorry for coming back but I didn't get the chance to count the money you gave me yesterday…" he said.

"Oh, I'm-I'm so s-sorry! Is it insufficient? Cause I-I d-didn't get the cha-!" she panicked in embarrassment.

"Uh, no! It isn't, in fact, it's too much. I'm the one who's supposed to apologize since it's my job to recount the money the customers pay…" he sheepishly smiled. Maka looked at him with her mouth hung open slightly. The guy started to give the excess money to Maka. Maka took it and looked at him again. Maka regained her cool.

"I-I think I should apologize too, since I wasn't quite myself y-yesterday… Sorry for disturbing you with your job to just return the money" Maka bowed.

"Uh, no, it's my pleasure!" he grinned goofily showing his sharp teeth. Maka swallowed.

"Thank you, sir-"

"Soul"

"Huh?"

"You can call me Soul"

Maka continued to look at him and looked at his shirt to see if he had an ID. There was one. How come she didn't notice that the first time?

"Soul's my name" he said again. "Oh…" Maka smiled back. Silence dawned to them.

"Um, well. See ya!" he started to walk away when the silence started to become awkward.

"Um, yeah…" she followed him with his eyes. Maka closed the door and shook her head.

"N-no… This can't be… Facts! Focus on the facts, Maka!" she ran to her couch.

"First, you don't know him well…. Second, you've only met him last night… Third, he… he… introduced himself… And he's… nice and polite…" she dropped on the couch. She closed her eyes and rubbed her forehead.

"What does got to do with the matter of me not liking him?"

"I can't lie to myself…" Maka felt her cheeks burned as she sat up. "Maybe… I really have been love at first sight"

Soul hopped on his motorcycle and wore his helmet. He turned the keys and the engine started to roar. He then drove his way to his work. Well, it was work to support his needs for living alone. He still studied in school but he was about to enroll to a new school to be with a supportive friend.

"Geez… All I said was that? 'Soul's my name'…" he repeated what he last said to her.

"How uncool… Smooth move, Soul" he groaned as he turned to his right.

So... how was it? I hope you like the chapter! :)

Hope you enjoyed it even of it's OOCness... A little story from Soul.

*Teen Loveis the title of a storyI once wrote when I was10 years old. But the character's personality is way different than the ones I wrote. I suddenly thought about that and decided to throw a little of it in here. Hehe :P
