Chapter 2 – A Meeting to Remember
When I awoke it was five in the morning school started at 9 and was about a half an hour walk away so I decided to stay up. I went and had a shower so I'd be nice and clean for my first day at school after spending the night before in the streets, when I hoped out of the shower and had gotten dressed it was 5:40am so I decided to go get some food and sit down and watch some T.V. until it was time for me to leave, I walked over to the fridge opened it and my heart sank, I had forgotten to by food and I was starving so I decided to go for a walk to see if I could find an open grocery store or a café so I could stock my house with food or at least feed myself that morning and then I'd buy food later from a grocery store if that was the case. I stepped outside into the cold winds of the early morning and started walking in the direction I thought the grocery store was in. I walked for about twenty minutes until I found it and lucky for me it was just getting ready to open its early morning market that it had every Friday according to the sign that was placed on the sidewalk next to the shop. I went inside and brought everything I needed from fruit, vegies and milk to junk food and soda, by the time I was done it was about 6:15am so I paid for my food happily and went back home which took me another twenty minutes in the cold but I didn't mind because when I reached my house I saw someone standing outside the door knocking it was a girl with blonde hair and she was wearing from what I could see a red skirt and a black jacket that went down to her ankles at the back, she was probably wearing some sort of shirt under the jacket but I couldn't see what from where I was. I walked up to them and taped them on the shoulder.
"Oh hello, I guess you're the person who lives here?" she asked.
"Yes I am, I was just doing some early morning shopping because I forgot to buy food when I moved in yesterday." I replied.
"Okay well my name is Maka and Lord Death asked me to show you around school today ok." She said.
"Thanks Maka." I said "and my name is Orion."
"Orion? That's an interesting name." Maka said.
"I've always thought that myself but I like it because it's interesting and different to most other names kinda like Maka is." I said.
"I guess you could say that." She said putting her hand behind her head like she was a little but embarrassed by what I had said.
"Ha, ha, ha. Would you like to come inside for a while so we can sit down and talk and I can put away my groceries and have some breakfast." I asked.
"Sure I left a note for my partner so he knows where I am if I'm not back by the time he wakes up." She said.
"Well okay then let's go inside." I said with a smile on my face as I unlocked the door and we walked inside. I walked over to the kitchen and started putting things in the fridge and things in the cupboard, while Maka took a seat at the kitchen table.
"This is a nice place you have here." She said.
"Why thank you." I replied as I opened up a box of cereal and poured some into a bowl before adding the milk grabbing a spoon and sitting down at the table with Maka. "Are you hungry?" I asked.
"Nah I'm fine I ate before I came here." She said.
"Sweet." I said "so what do you wanna tell me about the DWMA before I have my first day there?"
"Well there are a lot of things." She said and then she went into a detailed explanation of the DWMA and where to find the classroom I was in and how to get around and who the teachers were as well as who to look out for until she finally ended on her friends there and the seemed like an interesting bunch.
"So this Blackstar is a show off?" I asked
"Yep." She replied.
"And Tsubaki is his weapon partner but she is really kind and caring and nothing like Blackstar but they work really well together?" I asked.
"You are correct." She answered.
"And Kid is Lord Deaths son and he is obsessed with symmetry and his weapon partners are Liz and Patty Thompson. Liz is the more cool headed if the two but she is afraid of paranormal things while Patty is child like and more hot headed then Liz?" I asked.
"Yes that's how my friends are but I love them." Maka said with a smile one her face.
"What about your partner tell me about them." I said.
"Well my weapon partners name is Soul." She said before going into a brief description of Soul before ending on "but it doesn't matter what I think of him when he is a complete jerk to me because he is always there for me and I am always there for him."
"Sounds like you kinda like this Soul." I said. That was followed by a stinging pain to the head Maka had hit me with a book.
"Ouch what was that for?" I asked.
"Sorry but me and Soul are not gonna happen and people ask me that a lot and its just annoying now so sorry about that." She answered "now where is Soul he should be up by now we have school soon." I looked at the clock it said eight o'clock if I was gonna walk to school I would have to leave soon or I'd be late on my first day.
"Thank You Maka but I have to go soon because I have to walk to school which takes me half an hour so I should be getting ready for school now." I said.
"Oh okay well it was nice meeting you Orion. I'll introduce you to everyone at school ok." She said as she walked out the door.
"Okay bye see you then." I said as I closed the door. I went into my room and grabbed some things for school and put them in my bag before I walked out the door locking it behind me. I started walking to school and I noticed Maka was at the window I waved and she waved back, I kept walking the sun was shining they sky was clear the streets weren't to packed it was good and I was on my way to my first day at the DWMA and I was hoping things would be like they were now perfect.
