Chapter 6- I Know You Want Me

A/N- Yola Again. If you have a burning hatred for BlackStarxMaka, I suggest you don't read on...I'm just saying...Not sure if the chapter name really fits...I just want to keep up with the: Song name or lyrics for each chapter XD Erm...Enjoy?

(POV- Soul)

"Ah, yes. Class, there will be a school dance this Friday," Stein, who had just finished his lecture, said this with a bored tone. I couldn't blame him. School dances were terrible. I hated everything about it- the loud, pop music, having to watch the dirty dancing. Having girls try and force you to dirty dance with them. And watching poor, uncool guys get rejected. How Maka actually liked this kind of stuff, I will never understand.

I looked over at my best friend. The ninja had a strange glint in his eyes. Happiness? Victory, perhaps? I raised an eyebrow.

"What's with you?" I asked.

"Eh?"

I rolled my eyes, "Why are you all happy? It's just a stupid dance."

I swear, I saw him blush slightly. But he covered it up by saying, "Well why wouldn't I? The great me must be present at all events. Even one as stupid as this."

With that, he got up and strode out of the classroom quickly, as if to avoid further questioning.

What's wrong with everyone? First Maka, now Black Star. Are they still possessed with the insanity? Nah. What were they hiding?

(POV- Maka)

I glanced over at Soul. He had been asleep during Stein's lecture and I had to take notes for him.Again. Now, he was in a conversation with Black Star. A memory from a few days ago floated into my head.

Sunday afternoon. Best time to just sit in the park and read 'til dark. I could just clear my mind of everything and get lost in the book. But, of course, this is my life, and I can't have a moment to myself without someone interrupting.

"Hey, Maka. What's up?" Black Star popped out of nowhere.

I scowled at him, "Reading. What does it look like?"

"Nerdy, boring stuff, to be honest with you."

"Thanks," I replied sarcastically, then went back to my amazing book.

He ignored this and sat down beside me, "Seeing that you could always read later, wanna hang out?"

I opened my mouth to say 'no', but he just grabbed my wrist and said, "I know this awesome new music shop down the road!"

What was it with boys always cutting me off?

He looked at me expectantly. I sighed, arguing with Black Star was pointless, "Fine, fine. But I need to be home before six to make dinner."

"Yosh! Let's go!"

With that he ran off, with me following.

I have to admit, the store was pretty cool. It was called: 'Music for the Soul'. The words were written in huge, black letters on a red background. The inside had the same color scheme. They had…everything- iPods, CDs, instruments, music books, and computers that let you listen to a preview of a song. Basically, it was music heaven.

I looked at Black Star. He had a smug look on his face, "Told you it was an awesome shop."

I grinned, "Thanks for bringing me here."

He passed me a CD, "You said you liked Sum 41, right?"

My eyes widened, "You remembered?" Soul never remembered anything I told him. At least I didn't think he did.

"Of course. A godly assassin like me has a brilliant memory. Besides, it would be pretty lame if I didn't know the kind of music one of my friends likes."

I smiled at his comment. Black Star was being so nice. It was weird though. Not long ago, I was just 'Soul's Partner'.

"So," I started, "Do you like Dead by April?"

"Never heard of 'em," he replied, nonchalantly.

I stared at him as if he were an alien, "What!? You have to listen to them! They are AMAZING!"

The ninja smirked, "Only if you listen to Hollywood Undead."

"Deal."

I don't know how long we had been in there, talking about and listening to music, but after a while, I heard familiar voices.

"Patty, please! Could you not do that?"

"Kid, chill out."

"But, Liz, she's ruining the symmetry of this store!"

The young Shinigami and his two weapons made their way into the store, bickering the whole time.

"Maka!" Patty cheered.

"Hello, Maka, Black Star," Kid greeted.

"Hey, guys," I smiled.

Liz, however, smirked at us, "What brings you two here?"

"Uh, music," Black Star said bluntly.

"We can see that, moron. We also see that you're here alone," Liz went on.

"How can two people be here alone? And you call me the stupid one."

The older twin rolled her eyes, "You know what I mean."

"We're just hanging out," Black Star retorted, "As friends," he added quickly.

I blushed, now understanding what Liz was trying to get to. I glanced down at my watch.

"Well," I cut in, "I should get going now. Have to make dinner."

Waving good-bye, I started to walk home, feeling happier than I had in a while.

A/N - I'm a terrible person. I keep trying to make longer chapters, but I can't (plus it's almost one in the morning and I'm uber tired and have no life...TToTT)

RATE AND REVIEW :D
