Maka

It's not a date! I furiously texted, my fingers going rapid fire.

Tsubaki: Date. Date. Date. Date. Date.

I sighed, adjusting my book bag, tripping down the steps of the bus, hoping not to run into anything in the process of texting and walking at the same time. I barely made it off without landing face first on the ground. I should've taken a taxi.

Me: I don't know what you're talking about.

I passed a few book stores and was tempted to go in...then I remembered where I was going.

Tsubaki: He agreed to meet with you. Not only that but at a library.

I shook my head, laughing out loud.

Me: Yeah. I don't even think Soul reads.

I turned the corner, still managing not to get run over by a car.

Tsubaki: See? It's a date because he doesn't care about where he's going because he's with you.

I pondered over the idea for a second then decided it was too sissy. Soul didn't think that way. I knew it. Maybe he finally wanted to get our Japanese Lit. assignment done for once. And then thinking about that, I suddenly wanted to read it. Curiosity took over my mind as I pondered over the things that could be in it and my imagination ran away with me.

Then I remembered Tsubaki.

Me: Yeah...I don't think so.

I'd probably be on suicide watch if I read it. The beginning at least. Because I knew at the beginning of the school year that Soul and I weren't the closest of friends if you may ask. Actually probably enemies. So maybe I'd just skip the first couple months of writing which, for Soul, could've been a few pages.

I honestly thought that I wrote too much. It would be what most people called 'trying hard'.

Thinking about this even more, I get seriously curious. Oh I was curious. Yeah. I needed to know what was in his book about me. Maybe Marie would let us read them at the end of the year. Oh god. What if we all got to read each others?

Suddenly, I wasn't so curious. Black Star's...it would probably be the most messed up thing I'd ever read. Maybe not necessarily the contents but the grammar...I could imagine the entire print in all caps...representing a loud and booming narrator.

Dear god...

The library appeared around the corner and I entered, peering my head through first. Soul wasn't in sight at first. For a second, I thought that he ditched and I go stood up but Soul would consider that uncool.

I would too.

"Yo!"

"Jesus!" I cried, jumping around, meeting the white haired freak who had placed his hands over my mouth.

"We're in a library, genius." He smirked, purposely pushing my buttons.

My eye twitched, looking at him with distaste but the feeling soon faded when he took my hand and led me to a table. Librarians were already glaring at us because of my sudden outburst in the middle of the room.

"I think we need to talk." Soul said when we were both seated.

"Oh you think?" I questioned, setting my book bag down and looking back at him.

We had a little glare session before our expressions relaxed.

"You kinda kissed me." I finally started, breaking the silence.

Soul gave me an amused expression.

"Yeah. I did." He answered, giving me this unreadable expression.

"Don't you think that could be a problem?" I continued, not wanting to say 'a problem because we're not going out'.

Soul seemed to notice that I didn't want to say it. He obviously knew full well what I meant,

"Oh? In what way?" Soul pressed, the smirk never leaving.

Eye twitch once more.

"Soul, we're not going out." I told him through gritted teeth.

"Thank you, Sherlock." Soul coolly replied.

I was ready to get up and leave if he didn't want to take me seriously. Because I didn't want to be someone to Soul who he only wanted to kiss and mess around with. I didn't want to be what those other girls were to my dad.

I raised an eyebrow.

"Let me tell you this right now." I told him. "I'm not your fuck buddy."

Soul's amused smirk quickly faded at that. His teeth were now clenched.

"Why would you think that?" He growled at me.

I folded my arms and rested them on the table, still unafraid of making eye contact with his blood red eyes.

"Because you freaking kissed me!" I argued.

"And?" Soul challenged.

I thought my fist was shaking like an earthquake.

"Soul..." My voice was dangerously calm. "You're supposed to kiss people you love."

There was a deadly electric shock going on between us.

"Okay...so what's the problem then?" Soul demanded, standing up.

"Well the problem is-" I stopped, processing what he said. "Wait what?"

Soul didn't respond. He only stared at me.

Did he just...did he..

"Maka, do you know the reason I asked you here?" Soul inquired.

I narrowed my eyes, trying to decipher his actions.

"Not really." I answered, recalling my texting conversation with Tsubaki.

Soul only rolled his eyes, looking at the ceiling.

"I wanted to ask you to be my girlfriend." He said, avoiding eye contact now.

...But ...before I could respond.

"Don't ask my why I would want a flat chested, hormonal, overreacting, nerdy, bookworm girl like you..." He said trailing off, earning another glare.

I was too overwhelmed to even have a comeback though. All I could do is stare at him. I'd already decided that I liked him and I didn't know if it was love or not. Was it? Could it be?

There was some comforting aspect about him that Kyou never had but I didn't know what to do.

"Maka?" Soul waved a hand in front of my face.

"U-uhh.." I stammered, unable to speak.

"I just told you I don't hate you anymore." Soul told me as a summary.

I shook my head. Right.

"I mean..." I continued. "You are an insensitive, mean, cold, sarcastic, twisted bastard. However, I think...you just do that to be cool and on the inside you're actually not a dick-"

Soul cleared his throat.

"So..." I went on. "I'll accept."

Soul's arrogant smirk returned.

"On one condition." I added.

"Oh yeah?"

I glanced around the library making sure that certain people weren't here.

"You never go out looking for Kyou, no matter what you hear. Got it?" I said.

Soul gave me a confused expression.

"Why would I do that?" He asked.

"It doesn't matter," I answered. "Just don't."

Soul blinked a few times.

"Okay, I won't." He said, regaining his normal smirk again.

Soul

I can't believe she actually agreed to go out with me. I wasn't normally good with this kind of stuff but the fact that she wasn't my girlfriend was driving me insane. I didn't even know what the fuck was coming over me but I didn't think I could be calm unless she was labeled as mine. My girlfriend.

What was it that I saw in her anyway? Everything I said about her before had been true. We were total opposites and I didn't know what could possibly come over me so much that I'd ask her to be my girlfriend.

Fuck. I did it so politely too. I guess saying 'Bitch you're mine' would be uncool wouldn't it?

I shook my head, trying to clear my thoughts. But, I couldn't help but feel extremely happy at the thought she was my girlfriend now. I didn't have to worry about shit. Actually, now we had an excuse to hang out. For some reason, she's the only person that I could hang out with normally. She was the only one who truly understood me to a high degree.

And why? I didn't even know. It would probably always remain a mystery to me, whatever spell she had cast on me.

Truthfully, the only reason I stopped cutting was because of her. I hadn't cut in months. Sometimes it hurt inside, not being able to cut and it is something that not everyone understand. Covering up emotional pain with physical pain. However, thinking about her is enough to make me put the knife down. I once even drew an M on my wrist with permanent marker to stop me.

I couldn't bare the thought of her hurting because of something she didn't even do. But I knew she always felt the guilt even though it had nothing to do with her.

It didn't even occur to me at first that I wanted to date her more for her personality than body. Honestly, that never happened to me. While at times she seemed gorgeous, like at the Christmas party with her delicate face and marvelous legs, I needed her emotionally.

Dammit. I was becoming too soft for this.

But sorry for Black Star, even as my best male friend, I didn't think he had all of these qualities.

And looking at Maka now, made me even more happy that she was my girl.

Of course I wasn't going to tell her all of this. Maybe later. But I liked to push her buttons and watch her squirm.

"So, Worm. " I addressed her. "You're in your natural habitat." I gestured towards all the books. "Did you want to get one?" Eh. Maybe I'd be a little nice by offering her a book. Wouldn't want to break up in a minute.

She gave me a look as if she didn't believe that I would ever ask her that. And then her face lit up like the world suddenly became a much brighter place to live in. Obviously because of me...not from the books or anything.

Maka sprang up and galloped after the books like a little girl. Well, she was a little girl.

Liz

This was awkward.

Sometimes I wondered why I loved Patty.

"But I saw you guys!" Patty argued loudly.

Kid's face turned bright red and I wanted to turn away, afraid my cheeks were the same shades as his were.

"D-Don't know what you're talking about, Patty." Kid countered, ignoring the bumbling blonde.

Patty narrowed her eyes.

Then she tried to interact our kiss scene.

It was probably one of the most embarrassing moments in my life. Ever.

"Patty," I grumbled. "Wanna STOP?"

She just giggled loudly, not understanding how awkward she was making everything,

Kid and I had decided not to date for Patty's sake and also the fact that we were all living under the same roof but the awkward tension and sexual tension was getting to be too much for me to stand.

People don't even know...

"Ehhh..." She moaned.

I wasn't sure if she was still acting out Kid and I or if she was just moaning.

"Know what? Let's all go get ice cream!" I suggested.

Kid clapped his hands together.

"Wonderful idea." He confirmed, catching my eye.

"Yay!" Patty was pleased with the idea, now forgetting Kid and I momentarily.

We climbed into his expensive, black convertible and as he drove, I couldn't help but notice how good he looked driving the freaking car.

Calm down. Patty is in the vehicle too.

We got to the nearest ice cream shop within five minutes. It was a cute little shop covered in pastel, ice cream colors, the walls decorated with sprinkle patterns and pictures of their greatest dishes were hung up.

Then we all ordered. I got strawberry ice cream, Kid got a dipped cone and Patty got a ...thing. I don't really know. Multiple ice cream flavors with every possible topping...

Kid received his cone and glared at it. At first I thought that they'd given him the wrong flavor. Then I saw it. One side had a dried drip of chocolate on it...and the other didn't.

I turned to no one in particular mumbling, "I should've known this would happen."

So for the next half hour Patty and I calmed Kid down, assuring him that if he simply took a napkin and wiped it off it would be perfectly fine. He didn't like the idea, claiming it was already tainted. However, we pretended to get a new one but instead we wiped the drip off and he was perfectly okay. What he didn't know wouldn't kill him.

After that, instead of going home, we decided to shop around. It was crazy, the stuff we bought. Living with a boy who could spend unlimited money did have its benefits sometimes...

Patty had an obsession with crazy hats and in fact, we both bought cute cowboy hates while Kid was obsessing over rings and ties. For a while, it felt like we were all truly family and it was such a great feeling.

Even when we got home we were still high off of fun. We started making popcorn and watching dumb kids movies that I normally wouldn't even look at but we just sat on the couch making fun of every scene until we couldn't laugh anymore.

It was great. And it also made Patty totally forget about Kid and I.

Until we were having a dance party and Kid and I were holding hands a little too long.

"Ehhh you guysss!" Patty sang, holding up our hands.

Oh god. Here we go again.

Tsubaki

I laughed out loud, reading Maka's newest text.

Maka: So...apparently Soul and I are dating now.

"What's so funny?" Black Star wondered, confused by my sudden outburst.

We were sitting at a sandwich shop and Black Star was devouring his food, crazily.

"Oh nothing," I answered, trying to stifle another laugh as I replied.

Me: I'm surprised it didn't happen sooner.

"Soul and Maka are going out." I added, making sure he knew.

"YAHOOO! GET SOME SOUL!" Black Star cried, attracting attention.

I glared at his immaturity, surprised at how...crazy he could really be. Sometimes I seriously wondered about him...

"Err...sorry Tsubaki." Black Star apologized. "I know my godly voice can be really loud sometimes.

I actually really didn't care that much. There was no need to apologize though I kind of loved it when he was sweet like that.

"Would you like anything else?" A waiter asked Black Star.

"Hell yes..." He mumbled seriously, looking at the menu. "How about a turkey on Focaccia sandwich?"

The waiter looked like he was trying not to roll his eyes. He quickly scribbled the order and looked at me.

"I don't want anything else." I said. But then Black Star gave me this look that said 'weak!' so I sighed. "How about some dessert then?" I hadn't planned on getting any dessert but my boyfriend seemed to think otherwise, wanting another eating partner to eat with. Oh dear.

Black Star nodded at me approvingly. Oh the things he made me do. I couldn't even put it into words. I'd heard of boyfriends who encouraged their girlfriends to diet for their body but Black Star was always trying to get me to eat more. I could only imagine what was about to happen between the two lovebird Maka and Soul.

Author's Note: Dance. Ugh. I refuse. Two recitals on Saturday...worse thing ever and then the super long spring show yesterday. I don't even know how I survive. Something is wrong with me. But anywayyyy. Soul and Maka...are going out! BOOOOYAAAAAAAAAAAAAA! This is like the calm before the storm though...so be prepared. Um. I'm kinda...hungry. Maybe I'll go eat some food and then have a dance party. Ahahaa. F(x) came out with a new album and it's the best thing ever. Don't know if any of you are kpop fans but if you are...IT'S AMAZINGGGG! "ELECTRIC SHOCK!" Yeah...soo...review lovely people? Thanks ;)
