Chapter 11: Dance at Dawn
I slid through my broken window after going to city of music. I was looking forward to silence.
"Maka Chan?" Yea night is ruined.
"MAKA CHAN IS HOME!" Gem hugs me.
"Hey Gem." I hug her back.
"Listen Gem I was at the city of music and I wanted to sleep."
"OKAY!" She falls asleep on my bed. Whatever, I past out.
I wake up and saw Gem still asleep, perfect. I got changed and brushed through my hair. I put my hair up and went to grab a muffin, I ate as fast as I can. I brushed my teeth and grabbed my bag. I ran out the door and headed to school.
I walk into the classroom. Tsubaki waves me over.
"Hi guys." Black Star showed me a paper mess.
"What is that?" Black Star smiles.
"A swan." That doesn't look like a swan.
"Ding dong, Dead dong. Alright class has begun everyone in your seats." We sat down.
"Sorry I'm late, I over slept." Soul walks in with no expression on his face.
"Just...sit down Soul." Soul gave Sid a thumbs up, and sat next to me.
"You over slept meaning your alarm clock?" Soul nods.
"You two shut up, now the test is in two days." Everyone awwed except Soul and I. A girl spoke up.
"Sid the dance is tomorrow and you decide now to make us study for a surprise test?" Sid sighs, Soul smiles.
"Come on if I had a choice, which I do, I'd rather bore myself studying then go to some gay dance." I giggled. The girl looks at us.
"Not to be mean Soul but all of us maybe even your stupid partner would rather go to a dance then bore ourselves!" Some kids shouted in approval. "Stupid?" I threw my book at her, bullseye I walk over and got my book back.
"Sid are you going to let her do that?"
"You shouldn't have called her stupid." I smile. Sid continued with his lesson, Black Star made more paper messes, Tsubaki listened, Soul fell asleep, and I was wondering about this dance.
"Tsubaki I didn't know the DWMA had dances." Tsubaki mouth was full of turkey sandwich.
"Ma ve ha a manze." I giggle.
"Why now?" She swallows.
"To celebrate holidays, were not big on Christmas and Easter here, only holiday we do here like everyone else is Halloween." I nod.
"This place is fucked up." We laughed again. I took a handful of chips.
"Wanna bet?" Tsubaki smirks.
"You're on." I shoved them in my mouth, I tried to chew but damn its hard. I swallowed.
"HA!"
"Fuck." We continued eating.
"Hey chicka's."
"Yo!" We waved.
"Well what is going on you two are late?" Soul rolls his eyes.
"Did you punch your lunch alarm clock?" Black Star and Tsubaki smiled.
"Ha ha ha, you are funny Maka." I smiled and continued eating.
"Oh by the way smart ass a girl wanted me to give this to you." I look at him then took it.
"It says. 'you r a woar' love your rival." Soul almost bursted into laughter.
"Now thats funny!"
"And mean." Tsubaki looks around.
"I don't think will find that girl." I don't care. I sat there and ate. Tsubaki gave me a look.
"Lets hit the showers after this Maka."
"Uh...okay?" She smiles and left to throw her trash away.
The shower room wasn't empty, why didn't I use a stall? Why am I even here? I started the shower up and again I was sprayed with cold water, and I slipped on the ground.
"Ow." I got up and started relaxing. Tsubaki was next to me smiling away, what will make this girl upset. She smiles at everything, besides Patty. I grabbed shampoo and started rubbing it in my hair. As I was doing that I over heard a group of girls conversation.
"So what will your dress look like?"
"Ah its a blue one to match my eyes." I rolled my eyes. I washed the shampoo out of my hair.
"Hey did you hear about Cresent Moon class?"
"No what?" My eyes opened and I listened.
"Well one student, was it Soul?"
"That cute boy, what about him?"
"He called the dance gay, probably doesn't have a date." Tsubaki and I look at eachother.
"They're talking bad about Soul." Tsubaki nods.
"Well one he is popular, I hear his name here all the time, and two the girls here love to gossip." I look down and continued hearing.
"I thought he was just to cool for something like that?"
"Yea but I thought he was into that meister of his, what was her name again?" I froze up, I could feel myself twitch. Tsubaki started giggling.
"Was her name Maya, no no y um... what was it she's the new girl."
"She hasn't been new for awhile, Mana, Mala, Maka, I don't know her name." I hit my head on the wall, Tsubaki was so close to bursting in laughter. "Well Soul isn't going, but I want to see dressed nice for once."
"I will die if I don't see him there." I look at Tsubaki.
"I don't like my weapon being popular." Tsubaki giggles.
"Get use to it."
I was about ready to head home until my book went missing.
"What the hell?"
"Looking for this?" I saw Soul holding my book.
"Soul give me that back." He shook his head.
"Nope." I wanted to hurt him.
"Give me that!" Soul starts laughing.
"Why I like seeing you beg, beg for me Maka beg!" I sat on my knees and did a puppy sound, Soul's face changed.
"Uh... Maka don't do that." I got closer.
"Mmmm arf mmm mmm." Soul gave me my book back.
"That was...god what is wrong with you?"
"I begged." I walked off.
I came home and saw Gem watching a soap opera.
"Maka Chan want to join me?" I nod and sat next to Gem.
"Whats going on Gem." She started clapping.
"Yeah Rose, show em, Ty is no good for you!" I was confused. So here's whats going on Rose is a lady who wants to break up with Ty. I sat there for a half an hour and thats all I knew. She was ranting on and on and on and on and... yea you get it. When it was commercial Gem looks at me.
"So how was school today?" I sigh.
"Awful I didn't know we were having a dance." Gem's face lit up.
"Is Maka Chan going?" I shook my head.
"Why not?"
"Because I have nothing to wear." Gem grabs my arm.
"Lets find you an outfit!" I pulled away.
"Hold on I just told you I'm not going!"
"Lets go!"
"What do you think of this pink one?" I sat on the chair.
"Lame."
"Purple?"
"No."
"Orange?"
"Hell no!" She sighs.
"Pooey." I manage to laugh.
"Wait." She grabs another dress.
"Black is sooooo you!" "Huh?" Black? is she serious?
"Are you serious?"
"So serious, I know sty~le." She found some ribbons and bracelets.
"Here put this on." I stripped of my outfit and slid on the dress. Gem walked in and awwed.
"You are beautiful. Here." She does my hair.
"Put on these." I put on the bracelets. I look in the mirror. That girl in the mirror wasn't me it was someone who was beautiful, so beautiful that it can't be me.
"Maka Chan, you are lovely." I hug Gem.
"Thank you, Gem." She hugs me back.
"Promise me you'll go." I nod.
"Promise." I look at the dress.
"This outfit is expenseve."
"I'll pay for it Maka Chan, I was raising up for a house but I guess I'll stay with you, hehe." I smile, Gem was being so kind. Her black hair fell on her face.
"Maka Chan lets go." I nod. I got changed back into my school outfit and walked home with Gem.
The DWMA was so, URG NOISY AS HELL! Girls talking about the dance the whole place was getting ready for it, a classy party. Dresses, and suits. Can't believe I'm going.
"Hey Maka!" I saw Tsubaki wave.
"Oh hey whats up?" Tsubaki smiles.
"I was wondering if you were going to the dance?" I nod.
"Yeah Gem wants me to I promised her." Tsubaki smiles.
"Black Star is going, what about Soul?" I shrug.
"How about you ask him, he's over there." I turn around and I saw Soul and another girl talking.
"No Tsubaki, he's talking to someone." She looks behind me.
"Who is she?" I shrug.
"Probably a girlfriend." The girl walks away. Tsubaki and I walk up.
"Hey Soul." Tsubaki points.
"Who's your friend?" Soul looks at her then reaches into his pocket.
"Another note?" Soul nods. I smile and turn from side to side.
"Tsubaki and I were wondering if you were going to the dance tonight?" He shook his head.
"Maka nobody else has seen me dressed all nice, you are the only one who has." Tsubaki giggles.
"Awww, mush." Soul and I started talking at once. She walks away.
"Well Maka, see ya round." I look away.
"I wish you'd change your mind." I walk away.
"Ah GEM STOP THAT!" Gem was pulling on my hair.
"Sowwy Maka Chan but I have to get these ribbons in your hair."
"Why isn't my hair up in pigtails?" Gem ties the ribbon in my hair and goes on the other side.
"I want you to look like a fourteen year old Maka." Oh nice. I sat there waiting for her to get done.
"Okay Maka I'm Do~ne." I got up and look in the mirror.
"I guess I'll go."
"Let me walk you there Maka Chan." We walked in the dark, to the DWMA.
"Well here you are, Bye Maka Chan." I wave good bye and walk in. The place was crowded, full of students. Man they all dressed up, I walk in praying not to be seen by anyone.
"Maka?" And I was seen.
"Hey Tsubaki, where's the assassin?" She sighs and points up. I look up and again on the ceiling or roof.
"He won't come down until the food line is shorter." I wave at Black Star.
"Yo Maka can you get me food?"
"No sorry!" I started talking to Tsubaki about... okay we were talking about random stuff, but we were bored! We heard commotion coming from the food table.
"YA~HOO!" Tsubaki's skin went pale, here we go.
"Black Star get away stop, wait like everyone else!" I started to giggle. A new song started to play, I see Lord Death actually dancing to this. I started turning my body slightly from side to side keeping in rhythm of the music. This was kinda fun, Tsubaki chasing Black Star who had stolen quite a few things, pretty music, tons of students, and Lord Death is dancing.
"Hey you're either my snappy meister or a pretty girl who must have lost her way and ended up in our school dance." I turn around, I about scream. "Soul you came!" I hug him.
"Geh... don't hug me that's not cool." I let go of him and smile.
"You look... nice."
"Uh yeah you to I guess." I giggle.
"You let your hair down." He nods.
"Why is Black Star running away with...?"
"Impatient."
"Ah." The song was about over.
"So my guess is that you're leaving now." He leans against the wall.
"I'll stay as long as nobody knows I'm here." I felt bad but I manage to smile.
"I know that smile is fake Maka." I look down.
"How could you tell?"
"Easy, your eyes." I look back up at him feeling confused.
"My eyes?" He nods.
"Your eyes kinda droop down when you're sad."
"So you'd know if my smile was fake." Soul nods again. We stood there not saying a word, I was a little embarrased though, my stupid eyes drooping. "Hey Soul, every girl here wanted to see you, why don't you talk to one of them maybe dance?" He laughs.
"You can't be serious, I hate dancing and I'm not into any of those girls." He'll never ask one girl out.
"Who are you into Soul?" He chuckles.
"Why do you want to know?" I shrug.
"Not a good enough answer." He walks off.
"Where are you going?"
"Away from this room, to many people." I nod and continued watching people. All the people seemed happy, I hope they were. I again swayed back and forth, to the music. The song was beautiful but not my type of music. I saw Black Star eating and Tsubaki with a look on her face, it was annoyed. Lord Death was... still dancing.
It was almost midnight, I stood in the same spot the whole time, but watching Lord Death dance is ammusing. I saw Tsubaki who was about crying again, Black Star was again on the ceiling. I stood there waiting for him to fall.
"HEY MAKA I'M A GOD!" I salute him. He gave me a thumbs up. I giggled, then I was pulled away. I saw Soul tugging on my shoulder.
"What are you doing?" He pulles me to the balcony.
"I thought about what you said." I was confused, wait I thought he left an hour ago. The final song began to play.
"What did I say?"
"Shut up Maka and follow my lead." We started dancing.
"Ah Soul why are you dancing with me?"
"I thought I should probably dance with a girl I like, so I did." My face started feeling warm, reaching both of my ears.
"Are you alright your face is red."
"Nonono I'm fine hehe...eh." Soul looks up.
"I heard this song before."
"Really whats it called?" He rested his head on mine.
"It's called 'Dance at Dawn."
Yeah this was alittle romantic in my opinion. My creative thinking is running on E, thats why my chapters are so short, but ah...
Soul: I've been attacked by someone named Kaoru... *Falls*
...Okay anyways you want 12? Cause I have a plan for 12 and it will be creepy... maybe.
Black Star: YA HOO! HEY JADYN!
Hi Black Star.
Black Star: What are you talking about?
Should my story continue?
Black Star: HELL YA! MAKE CHAPTER 12 COME ON THIS IS YOUR TIME TO SHINE JADYN! MAKE IT!
Why me?
