Soul

Okay so maybe I should've told Maka that I was coming early. She was reluctant to get out of bed. Because I knew where her spare key was, I took the liberty of letting myself into her apartment, something I'd done many times before.

"Maka!" I barked. "Come on!"

She just kept rolling under her covers, refusing.

"No, I need sleep!" She argued, staying under, rejecting the sunlight from the windows, where I'd drawn the curtains.

That stubborn girl.

I ripped the covers off of her exposing her in her pajamas with a very pissed expression. I pretended not to notice.

"Maka," I said, pulling her shoulders up and retrieving her slippers from under the bed. "We are going out to breakfast because it is the last day of school and because you can apparently go." I motioned towards her crutches, implying that she was going to school even if she needed rest.

Finally, she moaned, getting up.

"Thanks for telling me," She mumbled, yawning. "Now get out of my room so I can change."

I walked out and shut the door and suddenly ran into something. Maka's dad.

"YOU PUNK!" He cried. "What are you trying to do to my daughter!"

I rolled my eyes. Someone woke up on the wrong side of the bed.

"Nothing," I remarked. "I actually just walked through the door-"

"You...WHAT?" Her dad bellowed.

I plugged my ears, frowning.

"I didn't do anything," I replied coolly, taking a seat at their table, waiting for my girlfriend.

Maka came out the door, her school uniform loosely worn as if she'd gotten dressed as fast as possible.

"Papa," she scolded. "Are you ridiculing Soul again?"

They started to have a glare war...over me.

I didn't know what the big deal was. We basically lived at each others houses. Maka's home was my second home and mine was her second home. That was just the way it was. Except for Wes. Wes still pissed Maka off. And me. That's why we locked ourselves away from him. I hadn't had a conversation with him since that night...where everything went wrong.

"Do you want breakfast?" Her father asked her.

Maka shook her head.

"No, I'm fine," She gave me a wink. Oh so she didn't hate me.

"But you neeed to eeeaat!"

Maka slung her book bag over her shoulder and motioned for me to follow, giving her dad an awkward side hug before crutching out the apartment. I followed her, coming into step with her pace. There was something so right about the two of us.

"So where are we going?" She wondered.

"You'll see," I answered with a smirk.

Maka stopped asking questions about my mysterious self a long time ago.

We arrived at the bus stop and waited. I took out my iPod and tried to show her some new music. She still didn't get it but I liked the effort that she was making to connect to me. She got that same look as when she listened to me play the piano. And I only played for her.

"Wait, I don't get it," Maka stopped. "It should go 5,6,7,8 again but it stops and gets messed up."

I loved the confused look on her face.

"Sometimes that happens," I informed her. "But you don't think of it that way. It goes, 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8 ...1,2,3,4,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8."

I don't think my explanation helped her one bit. She was trying to think about it mathematically. And that didn't exactly work with music. While some music was math, your soul is what really makes it music. Just playing notes and counting is just playing notes and counting. It retains little musicality.

It's a good thing the bus arrived because I thought Maka's brain was about to fry.

We sat together and still shared ear pieces but this time, Maka stopped caring about the counting and just listened.

"This isn't in Japanese," She suddenly noticed.

I chuckled. Thirty seconds into the song she realized that it was in English.

"Yeah it's a song called, 'Love Today' by Mika," I responded.

"I don't really understand what they're saying," Maka said. "But I like it."

"Errybody gon lovue tuday!" We sounded nothing like the actual song.

We got off the bus and walked towards a cafe. It wasn't just any cafe. It was the one we'd run to in the pouring rain when we'd first decided to spill to each other secrets.

"Soul," Maka looked at me smirking.

She bounced happily through the doors. I followed and the smell of coffee filled my nostrils. Absolutely amazing.

Maka ordered a blueberry scone while I got a giant chocolate muffin and I ordered to iced coffees, blended. Maka claimed that she hated coffee but I was going to make her like it eventually. It was my favorite drink.

We sat and Maka took a sip of the substance, contemplating with a complex expression.

"This is really good," She uttered seriously, looking at in in confusion. "But there's coffee in it."

"Correction," I answered. "Coffee, Milk, and Ice. And probably some sugar."

Maka nodded, still sipping it. She couldn't stop. I had to remind her that she had a scone.

Maka

I was sipping my delicious drink when the doors burst open. I only knew one person who made entrances like that. Black Star walked in, Tsubaki under his arm.

Then I looked at Soul. This wasn't coincidental.

"I invited a few people," Soul answered as Kid and Liz walked through the doors too.

A smile crept up my face.

"Why do you think I wanted to get you up so fast?" Soul asked. "Couldn't be late like these bastards."

But we winked at our friends who got their drinks and took seats by us.

"How's my bestie?" Tsubaki wondered making the boys roll their eyes.

"Great," I replied. "I like coffee now. Well, sorta. Iced coffee with milk and sugar."

Tsubaki sighed.

"That's not legit," She laughed.

"So guys," I changed the subject, laughing too though. "Last day of school!"

Black Star stood up and almost choked on his shake. He hated coffee.

"YOU GUYS LET'S HAVE AN AWESOME SUMMER!" He announced cheerfully.

We all did a cheers to that, raising our cups, mugs etc.

"We just have to survive chemistry finals," Kid reminded him.

Black Star looked like he wanted to punch him.

"Remember," Tsubaki patter Black Stars shoulder. "I helped you study for those."

I don't think any amount of help from Tsubaki or anyone would help Black Star on those.

"But we don't have to do anything in Marie's class," I said. "Stories are all turned in."

"Good point," Liz agreed. "Just relaxation."

We had a class to look forward to but after today, it was summer!

After a long memorable talk of the entire year, we concluded that we had to leave unless we wanted to be late on the last day. We walked outside and the drinks still weren't finished. I was okay with that because it was blazing hot.

"Guys," Liz said. "Where's the bus?" We looked around and realized that the local bus wouldn't come for another hour.

"Oh, shit."

We were gonna have to run. Everyone looked down at my crutches. Life. We were obviously smart when it came to planning this. Never mind. I had no part in the planning.

Soul scooped me up and Black Star grabbed my crutches.

"Come on," Soul said. "Only three miles."

I shook my head. This was ridiculous. He wasn't going to carry me piggy back the whole way there. It didn't matter how light I was.

The girls looked at each other reluctantly before we finally broke into a run. Well I wasn't moving. I just wrapped my arms around Soul's neck and occasionally sipped my drink.

"You know I can crutch-run," I informed Soul.

He just shook his head, dismissing the idea.

Suddenly Tsubaki burst out laughing, nearly coughing because she was running at the same time.

"This would happen to us," She guffawed. "This would happen to us."

True.

Soul sounded a little tired after the second mile so I purposely jumped off his back and patted his shoulder. Then I retrieved my crutches from Black Star.

"Guys," I said. "We're not gonna be late."

Then we started to speed walk the last mile and the five minute bell sounded once we got close to the school.

Our faces were bright red and students just stared at us as if we were stupid. The cool air of the school building was a sweet release though.

"Locker," I moaned tiredly, taking a sip of my half melted drink. Soul gathered my books, all of them and put them in my book bag. They all had to be cleaned out by the end of the day.

The atmosphere in Marie-sensei's classroom was amazing. Everyone was so happy, eating snacks, talking, drawing on the board. It was just overall ... greatness.

"Guys!" Marie sensei called. "For the rest of the class...HAVE FUN!"

People pulled out board games, more food, other crap. I considered pulling out a book but Soul would just glare at me until I put it away. So I decided to sip my drink and talk to my best friends. Not about the events of the horrible night we went through, but about the good times we had this year. The chocolate, basketball, the dance, the Christmas party, shopping (excluding the creeper) and everything else.

Even how much we all hated each other.

"Come on," I said. "Tsubaki and I were always friends."

Soul rolled his eyes.

"Maka," he answered. "You couldn't get along with anyone."

I laughed.

"Lies! I couldn't get along with jerks!" I protested.

"We didn't really fight," Tsubaki pointed to Black Star. "I just felt-"

"Overshadowed?" Liz suggest, giggling.

Tsubaki nodded.

"HOW! MY GREATNESS MAY OVERSHADOW BUT THE SPOTLIGHT-"

"Makaaaa CHOP!" That shut Black Star up.

Everyone else seemed to think my violent action was hilarious.

"Hey everyone listen up!" Marie announced. "I have the results of your guys' assignment!"

Everyone silenced, looking at her in awe, a few murmurs passed throughout the room.

My fist clenched. This was the moment.

"And I have the top scores," She gave us a smirk.

"READ IT! READ IT!" People chanted.

Everyone watched her in suspense.

"The highest score is," She looked up from her paper. "Soul and Maka, for excellent character development." Soul's eyes and mine met. "However," She added, a glint gleaming in her one showing eye. "I get the feeling that this story isn't fictional."
