Author's Note: Sorry for the long wait, you guys, but here it is the new chapter for Gambling on Love! Once I get through updating all my stories with a chapter, I plan to start my new Soul Eater fanfiction and then go through all my fanfictions and corrected grammar, punctuation, etc. Once that's done, I'm back to working on new chapters! Alrighty? Alrighty! Let's go!
Cafeteria Debut!
Everyone is Jealous?
The bell for lunch rang and me and my friends went to the cafeteria to eat. As we walked, me and Soul were holding hands, of course. I should feel happy being around all my friends and having an awesome boyfriend, right? Wrong. I felt like daggers were being jabbed into my torso repeatedly. It was worse than Asura grabbing my side and breaking my rib cage.
Why was I feeling like this? I looked around and saw every girl I passed was glaring at me.
'What the hell?' I thought, 'Why are they glaring at me?'
I walked closer to Soul out of discomfort and he looked at me curiously.
"Oh, uh, just like being near you!" I lied, smiling at him.
He frowned, but said, "Alright then."
We got our food and sat at our usual table. This time I did sit really close to Soul as we ate. He had his arm around my waist the whole time as he joked around with Black Star and Death the Kid and I spoke to Tsubaki, Crona, and Liz. The hateful looks for almost every girl in school didn't cease though. If anything, it got worse since I sat down.
I lost my appetite and set down my fork, staring at my half-filled plate. Tsubaki, Liz, Crona, and Soul looked over at me worriedly when they noticed I went quiet and had stopped eating which caused Death the Kid and Black Star to notice to. Kid gave a worried look as well, but Black Star just sat with a blank stare at me. Not a stupid one, just a normal, actually serious one. Patty, of course, ignore everything as she made giraffes out of her food.
"Maka?" Tsubaki asked softly.
I looked up at her and her face silently asked what was wrong with me. I didn't say anything; I just looked back down.
"Maka," Soul said, but I didn't want to answer him either. I just stood up, softly saying, "I'm not very hungry. Black Star, Soul, you guys can share the rest of my food. I want to go to the library."
I walked away without another word.
Author's Note: Sorry, it's short, but this is just to get me back in the jist of writing this story. The next chapter will be in Soul's P.O.V.! :)
