Helloo! Shadowmistx98 here! :)
Disclaimer: I do not own Soul Eater.
Maka and Soul had been together for almost a month now. Maka has been talking to her classmates for that time and made a few friends with the gang. She was friends with their president, Jackie, and her best friend, Kim. Maka also gained friends from Soul and Black Star's side who were Ox, Kilik and Harvar. But the usual friends she hangs out with is Soul, Tsubaki, Black Star, Kid, Liz and Patty. It was a Monday morning and got out from her bed. She yawned and stretched her arms. She prepared for school and went outside of her apartment. She looked around and heard an engine scamper in front of her. There sat in front of her, Soul who was smiling.
"Ready?" he asked as he gave Maka her helmet. Maka nodded and took on the helmet. She hopped on her boyfriend's motorcycle and went to school. Soul would pick her up if he didn't have any work but when he doesn't Maka goes to the normal roller blades. Soon, they stopped in front of the school. They mounted off the bike and parked it.
"Let's go!" Soul took Maka's hand and walked through the hallway. They met up with Black Star and Tsubaki at the lockers. Black Star caught them in the corner of his eyes.
"Well, well, well… Look at here! The love birds are together!" Black Star grinned.
"Oh! Good morning you two!" Tsubaki closed her locker.
"Speak for yourself, Black Star" Soul smirked. Black Star raised an eyebrow, though Soul swore he saw a red tint on his cheeks.
"What was that about?" Tsubaki, unaware, asked. Maka shook her head.
"It's nothing!" Maka said as they continued to walk to their classroom. On their way, they met the Thompson sisters and Kid.
"Oh, hey Guys!" Liz waved to them. Patty greeted them with a big hug. Kid cleared his throat.
"If you'll excuse me, I have to go in a meeting of the student council" Kid bowed.
"Ok! Bye, babe!" Liz waved at him goodbye as the others looked at her weirdly. Kid went out and Liz faced her other friends.
"Babe? Seriously?" Black Star raised an eyebrow. "Since when did you guys call each other like that?" he added.
"It's just sis who calls him 'babe'!" Patty laughed. "Patty! Why did you say that?" Liz whined. They all laughed and continued to walk to their classroom. Black Star had been awfully quiet the whole time and Maka noticed it.
"Black Star? Are you ok?" Maka asked. Black Star snapped out of his trance and looked at Maka. He laughed nervously.
"Oh! Y-yeah! YOU'RE GOD IS FINE!" Black Star tried to sway her attention away but it didn't work.
"C'mon, Black Star. I know you. You don't suddenly get quiet…" Maka said. He sighed.
"Yeah, yeah… It's just that… I've been feeling some weird vibes… It's like something is going to happen…" he said.
"How can you say that?" Maka raised her eyebrows.
"Instincts?" Black Star looked at her as she laughed. He shook his head as they finally reached Class Crescent Moon. Just as soon they went to their seats, Ms. Marie came.
"Ok! Settle down, students! We have a new student here with us!" Ms. Marie said and the students instantly straightened up.
"New student, eh?" Soul whispered.
"Please come in and welcome your new classmate, Carlos Ramsay!" then a red haired boy came in with his hand in his pockets. He smiled seductively and the girls began to giggle. Black Star eyed him. He clenched his fists. Maka's eyes widened. The boy's eyes went to Black Star and Maka's way that made Maka twitch.
"I have a question for this new… Student… When did you get here?" Black Star asked as he raised his arms.
"Black Star! Be respectful!" Ms. Marie said but Carlos calmed her down.
"Don't worry! I'd be happy to answer that" he paused. "Um, about more or less a month…" he grinned. Black Star wanted to do a table flip. Then Carlos went to his seat on the back. Black Star glanced at Maka. She was looking down with her hands shaking. No doubt, such a thing that reminded Maka anything bad about her past would bring back the trauma in her. Black Star couldn't do anything. He sighed. Soul looked at the two. Soul knew something was wrong and it had something to do with that new guy. Tsubaki looked at the two worriedly. The rest of the class was silent for them. Maka endured the time but got up when the dismissal bell rang. She quickly went outside. Soul's eyes widened.
"What the-! What's wrong with Maka?" Liz asked.
"I don't know but we need to follow her… and quick. She seems so uneasy from the start of classes…" Soul and the others stood up and went to the door. Black Star caught Carlos about to go out too and pushed him on the wall.
"Black Star! What are you doing?" Tsubaki began to panick.
"Stay away from Maka… In case you didn't like the last time…" he whispered at him angrily and gave him another push. Black Star went out and the girls worriedly followed the visibly pissed off Black Star. Soul then remembered a piece of Black Star's story.
"Carlos… Is he the guy?" Soul looked up at Carlos who was smirking. Soul glared at him and went out. Carlos smiled and soon began to chuckle by himself.
Maka leaned on her locker door and sighed. She closed her fists.
"Just looking at him makes me crazy…" Maka said to herself. That brought some bad memories back.
"No… This is not the time! I have to be strong! I have to face my fears no matter what! No matter how hard it is…" Maka trailed off with the last words she said. "For my friends… For Soul…" she opened her locker and placed a few books inside.
"Maka!" a voice called her. Maka closed her locker to see who that was. It was Black Star and the gang.
"Are you okay?" he asked. "Yeah…" Maka silently nodded.
"Are you sure?" Soul grabbed her hand gently. Maka said yes but had sad eyes. The girls looked at each other worriedly.
"Come on, let's go home…" Tsubaki smiled at her as they started to walk.
"Damn that guy…" Black Star cursed. "Why is he here anyways? I can't say this is a coincidence…" he added.
"Maybe it's really a coincidence?" Patty suggested innocently. Black Star sighed.
"I know that guy… He's a self-centered person. It's no doubt he's here because he wants something… I might even say he's crazy…" Black Star closed his fists. They had almost reached the gate when someone called out to them.
"Ahem…" they all turned around to see who it was. It was Carlos. Black Star and Soul glared at him.
"I'm so sorry but if I may… May I speak to Maka alone?"
"Why would you? You're a new student here… You better stay out of anyone's shoes this time…" Soul grabbed Maka.
"It's just a friendly talk…" Carlos answered.
"Hah! Friendly my ass! I'm gonna kick you-!" Black Star was cut off by Maka.
"I'll go… It's ok…" Maka smiled at them weakly.
"But Maka-!" Liz tried to stop her. Soul tightened his grip on her.
"It's ok…" she looked at Soul and Liz. "It's about time I talk to you…" Maka's face went dark when she looked at Carlos. Carlos smiled and nodded. Maka followed him but Soul's hand was still connected with hers.
"I'll be fine… If I should need help, I'll call you guys" Maka said softly. Soul took a while to let go of her. Maka followed him silently.
"That's the guy, Carlos, right?" Soul asked Black Star.
"Affirmative…" Black Star said. "I should probably tell you this right now…" he looked at their confused faces.
"What's that?" Tsubaki asked. Black Star took a deep breath before he could speak.
Tis very short chapter. The next chapters will have drama in it and I haven't done the things that will happen in the next chapters on my other stories so I'm really new to it... And this story reminded me of my first story.
Many of you guys guessed right. And this dude has some issues. Wait for the next chapter for Black Star to explain it to you. :D
