Chapter 8

Who's That?

I opened my eyes and looked around. I sighed in relief, I am in my room. How do I know I am in my room? Well, that's easy. Himeko's pink cupboard is a one of a kind cupboard. She self decorated it with pink, purple, and glitters. Seeing that cupboard annoys me but I kept in mind that this is not my room alone. I suddenly realised that my alarm did not go off, I quickly check the time and it was 9:00 am. Oh crap… late… again? I threw my blanket off me and quickly got dressed; I remembered to put on my tie this time. I grabbed my bag realising that today is going to be my first lesson because I happen to faint yesterday. My stomach churned as I thought of how I will interact with the normal students, but I left all of that to the side, what I really need to worry about is how to get to class in time, which is impossible since I am already hours late.

I dashed down towards that school building. My legs started to kill, why does the school have to be so big for?

"Where are you going?" Asked a voice. A voice I know really well.

I stopped abruptly and turned to face him, "What do you want Soul?"

"I was thinking you might like to thank me"

"For what?"

"For carrying a thing that weighs 5000 kilos last night back to it's room"

"What? You carried me? And I am not a thing!"

"I never said it was you… so I guess you admit you're a thing"

"Grraahhh!" I yelled scratching my head "Shut up, I am late for classes… wait… why are you wearing casual?"

"It's Saturday today… we have no school… I was just going to ask why you're wearing your school uniform. But I guess the answer is pretty obvious."

"Stuff. My. Life. All the hurrying for nothing."

"Idiot."

"No need for you to rub it in, geez. And… that thing you carried… it was me wasn't it?"

"Oh… the thing that weighs 100000 kilos?"

"What? You said 5000 before!"

"Yeah… it was you."

"Telling that to a girl is like saying 'don't break the chair when you sit on it you ugly fat thing'"

"That reminds me

"Don't change the subject!"

Soul put his hand into his pocket fiddling around.

"Oh… here it is" He said pulling out a blue lolly.

"Isn't that mine?" I asked remembering the old man yesterday.

"Yeah… it's yours, why?"

"What do you mean why? Give it back… it's mine"

"I took it as a thankyou gift for carrying you home, it dropped out of your pocket."

I sighed, I'm so tired… I give up, don't wanna argue anymore "Have it." I said.

"I know, I wasn't gonna give it back"

He… pisses me off even more now than ever. Ungrateful brat!

"Don't worry flat chest, I left the red one for you."

I am gonna kill him. I raised my hand ready for a Maka Chop, but too slow, Soul saw this coming. He grabbed my hand and twists it behind my back. I gave a smirk and back kicked him in the stomach, his griped weakened and I pulled back my hand and did the Ultimate Maka Chop hitting dead centre on his head.

"HAH! EAT THAT!" I yelled jumping around celebrating my victory.

I turned around excited to see Soul's depressed face, but it wasn't there, he wasn't there. That's when I felt something grab my hand. I turned around to fight back, but too late. Soul flipped me to the ground and held me there making sure I couldn't move.

"You should not let your guard down Maka" He smirked

"Get off me you ugly thing with nice hair! I bet you that's a wig!"

"AHAHHA, a wig? Ok then, whatever makes you feel better"

"What are you eating?" I asked noticing him chewing

"The blue lolly"

"I wanted blue!"

"Trust me, you will like red better" He said as he got off me.

"Trust you? After you flipped me?"

He walked off waving me goodbye.

"That brat" I mumbled to myself as I stood up brushing dirt off me.

Well, since it's the weekend… I should go shopping for clothes or else I won't have anything to wear. I walked back into my room to put away my bag, I was about to walk out to ask if Liz, Patti and Tsubaki wants to go shopping with me but I stopped due a strange sound. It sounded like someone was breathing heavily. I looked around and there was no one else inside the room besides me, that's when I saw that my window was not closed. As I walked towards my window, the breathing became louder. I have to admit that I am scared; I hate supernatural things where stuff pops out at you. I summoned all my courage and peeked out the window. I sighed in relief, it was just Himeko.

"What's wrong?" I asked her. She seems tired.

"H-h-help m-me" She replied, her lips were dry, I know because I can see the cracks on it.

"Do you want me to carry you to your bed?" I asked, for some reason, I felt that what I just said was really stupid, but when I am not feeling well, the maids at my house would just help me to my bed and feed me medicines.

Her breathing become worse, she grabbed she chest tightly. I carried her in through the window, her hand still squeezing her chest.

"S-s-s-Soul…" She said breathlessly. The hand squeezing her chest loosened and her eyes closed, she is unconscious.

I quickly carried her to the nurse's office; I don't think leaving her on her bed would help anymore. The nurse checked her body temperature and wiped her sweat. Minutes later, Soul came running in.

"Is she alright?" He asked.

"Apparently it is just a fever" I replied.

Soul dropped to the ground and sighed in relief.

"Had me worrying for nothing" He muttered.

I grinned "You llliiikkkeee her"

"Think whatever you want"

"You're not denying it?"

"I'm not agreeing to it either" he said and walked off… again.

Himeko woke up just as I was about to walk out.

"Where am I?" She asked

"The nurse's office" I replied

"Who are you?"

"Quit joking, it's me, Maka… your roommate?"

Himeko looked confused. "I'm sorry?"

"Wooww… you don't know me? Ok then… you will at least know Soul right?"

"Who's that?"
