Author's note: appologies for not updating as fast, if your wondering why i updated chater five twice, it is because i made a stupid mistake about the percentages and i would have never realised it until someone had pointed it out, so thanks to that person very much. Besides my stupidity, have fun reading i guess? oh... and thanks for the support ;)

Liz, Patti, Tsubaki and I walked down to the dinner hall. The place was massive, the school is massive. We looked around and saw Blackstar waving for us.

"Hey" Liz said as we walked over

Blackstar saved us some spots. Next to him sat Kid and next to kid was him. The guy who splashed me with water. I didn't want to waste my time getting mad so I pretended the whole incident did not happen. Liz, Patti, Tsubaki and I each took a seat opposite the guys.

"So, I heard you fainted" Kid said.

"Yeah, I did… it wasn't fun though." I replied

"I could have told you that"

"AHAHAH she fainted, who could be that weak? Why did you faint form getting a tie?" Blackstar butted in.

"Stop rubbing it in, geez, you're very insensitive." I said a little annoyed.

"Was the water cold?" Soul asked

That. One little sentence. Hit. The. Spot.

"No shit it is." I gave him a glare "I should try it on you sometimes"

He chuckled. Which obviously annoyed me even more.

"What is so funny?"

"Leave the kid alone, Soul," Liz said

I grunted and looked away. Dinner is so hard to swallow... Cause of somebody.

"Hi" a familiar voice said.

We all looked up, I thought so, and i was right. It was the pretty, jet black hair girl who looked like she came out of a magazine. Her name, Himeko.

"Can I join you guys?" She asked followed by a sweet smile, one that I could never imagine myself doing.

"Neh, Whatever" Liz said in an annoyed way and continued eating.

I noticed the others doing the same thing, pretending she is not there and continuing with their food, all except Soul of course.

"Take a seat" He offered nicely.

It was strange; the way he acted… actually… he is strange. I grinned, I think I know what is going on… He likes her. I softly chuckled to myself, this is funny. What bothered me though is why the others don't seem to like her; she seems alright and very pretty.

"I'm done eating" Liz slammed her fork down and walked off "Lets carry out our mission, Maka"

I grinned, lucky she dragged me along, or else it would have been awkward. "Give me a sec I said gobbling up all the food at once.

"Old habits are hard to get rid of" said Soul

"You must love making fun of nearly everything about me don't you?"

"Yup. Definitely"

Liz dragged me off as I was about to walk over and punch him in the face. Tsubaki and Patti ran after us. I felt a frightful glare, shivers ran down my spine. I quickly looked back and for a second, I thought Himeko was glaring at me but it seems that I was wrong because she seems to be too busy looking at Soul.

"I feel for you Maka" Liz said giving me an apologetic look when we finally made it out of the dining hall.

"Why?" I asked a little confused.

"That's because your sharing a room with Himeko" Patti laughed

"Oh… that's right, I was going to ask, why do you guys seem like you hate her?"

"She likes taking advantage of Soul" Tsubaki said shyly

Wow… I thought, if Tsubaki said that… it means that.

"I thought she looked …nice" I said stupidly.

"Yeah, she only looks nice. But reality? not as nice and sweet. Last time, when she first came to this school, we showed her around and she found out that we were close to Soul so she acted all innocent talking to us but the minute Soul came she started to fake cry. You can probably guess what she was doing there." Liz said in an annoyed tone.

"Wow… "Was all I can say… once again… "Fake crying? making you look the bully and she the role of the innocent? Pretty people can be a bitch, oh not every pretty person but the one we are talking about now… definitely... wait... didn't Soul find it obvious though?"

"He knew about it. But all he said was 'it's not good to lie' and let her tail him around"

"What? Is that the best he can do?"

"I know right? i didn't talk to him for 2 weeks"

These kinds of people don't surprise me much looking back at all the people I have met at my previous schools but what really surprised me was that I am sharing a room with someone who could very well turn out to be the one that ripped my clothes.

"Well, enough of gossiping about those who won't make our lives any better, we should start thinking about how we can escape without getting discovered." Liz yawned

I gave a small laugh. "Any ideas?"

"Of course" The three of them said grinning " We'll show you our secret escape route."

Huh? Secret escape route? What?

"Why did you have to ask for ideas if you already know a way we can get out?" I asked.

"I asked for a way we can escape without being discovered" Liz grinned

Wait… so this secret route is not safe? I gave a big sigh, what am I getting myself into?
