And now chapter three! There will a change in the point of view here. :3 I don't own Soul Eater, just the O.C's used in this story. Enjoy the chapter!

~oxoXoxo~

"See, I was walking home yesterday, and—" I get cut off. Scythe blades explode from Spirit's arms and back and he lunges at me.

"YOU ASSHOLE!" he screams. My own arm turns into my own blade and I deflect his attack.

"Spirit, calm down!" I don't think I've seen him this angry ever. It's freaking scary.

"SHUT UP!" he attacks again. I've never seen him fight someone, I don't think. He's fast, plus he has three blades as opposed to my one. Why won't he calm down? I didn't know Maka was his daughter; the way he always goes on about his daughter I thought she was five!

"Dad, stop!" Maka cuts in. Spirit doesn't realize, so I protect her. She yells as our blades clash apparently bringing Spirit back to his senses.

His blades disappear as he dives for her. "Maka! Are you alright? He didn't hurt you?"

"Calm down already!" she whips a book out and smacks him on the head with it. Where'd she get that from? "Soul protected me from some crazy last night." He stares at us in shock.

"What crazy? The idiots who tried to rob you from a few days ago?" he asks. No, those were just two hungry idiots, not crazies.

"Giriko." I tell him. His expression goes blank.

"He escaped?"

"He was chasing me but Soul helped me get away, which is why I stayed here for the night." Maka explains to Spirit. He stands there, staring at me for a bit and then turns around.

"I see." He coughs into his hand. "I'll let you go for today. But!" he turns around to face us again. Pointing to me he says, "You are gonna go to work and do a damn good job. Don't be late, don't be rude to the customers, and if they seem drunk and keep asking for drinks, water the crap down. There's enough bull that goes on without alcoholics in the mix. Do all that and maybe, just maybe, I won't try to kill you for the next week."

"Yes sir," I glare at him. He's worse than me, I'm one the few people that actually works at the job. He flirts with all the girls that come in, he should be yelling at himself.

"And you," he looks to Maka and his expression softens. "Go back home, please. You shouldn't be out wandering at night, it's not safe." Why is he being nice to her!

"…yeah." She sighs, giving in. Spirit turns to leave.

Looking back at us he says, "Soul, you better be in under one hour, hear me? Maka, call me when you get back, sweetheart." He leaves. Now I'm gonna have Spirit breathing down my neck for the next few weeks or so, great. Just freaking great.

"I'm gonna get dressed." Maka takes her clothes off the old washer where I folded and left them and goes into the bathroom. It's been way too weird for me this morning. God knows what the guys are gonna do when I get to work. I sigh, I don't wanna think about that. I go into my bedroom to get dressed. Be in under one hour my ass, Spirit.

"Thanks again, Soul. And I'm sorry about the whole thing with my dad. He's annoying, but he means well." Maka says. We're standing outside in front of the apartment. Okay, so…how should I say goodbye while sounding cool about it? I have sound like a cool guy so that when she gets back she'll tell everyone how cool I am. Let's see…

"It's nothing. Just be careful around here, alright?" I give her a slight smile.

"Thanks, and bye Soul." She says.

"See you, Maka." I say sticking my hands in my jacket pockets and walk off. Hell yeah, done just like a professional badass! The guys are gonna hate me for weeks when I tell them how cool I was. Now to just get through the day without Spirit trying to kill me.

Maka's POV:

Did he just try to be cool to me? Okay, I've decided…Soul tries too hard. I know he rolled over and fell off the couch this morning but he tried to cover it up like it didn't happen. And that thing with that hippie lady, what's her name, Noire? Oracle? When she was giving us our 'fortune' I heard Soul to tell her to shut up before she said anything on him. It was nice of him to try and help me out though, despite how strange it was.

I start walking back to the train station. I completely missed first and second period of school today, if I hurry I can probably make it to third before it ends. Dr. Stein is gonna be angry, and I can only imagine what everyone will say to me when I get there. What did Soul call that guy, Giriko? I think I'll ask Stein about him.

Finally back at the station I see it's eleven. I get on the train before it leaves and show the conductor my weekly pass. I take a seat close to the exit and release a sigh. I can make lunch, I think. Everyone is gonna bomb me with ridiculous questions, I just know. I'm excited to get back though. I remember the hippie lady saying Soul's real name is Soul Evans, I swear I've heard that name before. I want to look up Giriko too. I have a lot of research ahead of me.

Getting of the train I step onto the school grounds. Death Meister Academy. I kind of hate to admit it, but the name just doesn't seem right. I walk up the stairs, go inside, and make my way to class Crescent Moon. I've just missed lunch but I made it back before the afternoon classes start. I pull a book out of my bag to read as the other students come in.

"MAKA!" I don't have any time to react before my friends start to swarm around me. Black Star, the one who just screamed and hugged me, keeps blabbing on aout how I wasn't in and how he thought I was dead or something. I push him off. He always over-reacts to everything. Not only that, but he's loud in general. And he's horribly full of himself. The other two run up and greet me with surprised faces.

"Maka, where have you been! You didn't come home last night, are you okay?" My friend and next-door-neighbor Kira Charlotte comes up looking the most (genuinely) worried. She's a good person. Reliable, honest, hardly ever gets angry, but she gets annoying really fast. Not only that but she has boys practically throwing themselves at her feet. I don't like her because of that, but then I kind of feel bad because she's so nice. Behind her is Kid, the last of my small friend group.

Kid is the son of Lord Death, the founder of the Death Meister Academy. His actual name is Death the Kid. He prefers not to be called that, plus it gets confusing. He has really bad OCD, and according to him absolutely nothing can be perfect unless it is perfectly symmetrical, a fact I think is ironic since he has three white lines on the left side of his head. He freaks out when they're mentioned. He freaks out whenever something isn't up to his standards and does everything he possibly can to fix it. He doesn't really talk, and he does whatever he wants, whenever he wants, and he doesn't care who's looking. But despite that, he is a nice guy. He nods to me and takes the seat next to mine, his normal seat for class.

"Will you guys calm down, I'm fine!" I say.

"Where were you?" Kira asks.

"Out."

"With who?" Black Star leans in close to my face, making me lean back.

"A friend. You don't know him." I probably seem even more suspicious now that I keep avoiding their questions. But I don't feel like I have to answer them, so I'm not going to. Besides, I can't just say I spent the night at a weapon's boy's apartment. God only knows what would happen to me if I did. I dodge their questions and keep reassuring them I'm fine.

I hear a crash and look to the door and see that Doctor Stein has come in on his swivel chair again and he fell. He is the strangest person I have ever met. Besides his odd obsession with that chair, there's a giant metal screw in his head. Not only that but he's a scientist. I'm actually surprised he's not mentally unstable, although that fact is debatable.

Kira and Black Star go back down to their seats and Kid looks to me. "You're bad at lying, Maka." He says quietly. I glare at him.

"Alright, class has started. Sit down." He says after picking himself up. His tired eyes look up at me. "Oh, Maka… Glad you finally made it." He doesn't show many facial expressions. He's so creepy.

"G-good afternoon, doctor." I say while looking the other way. I've noticed that he talks to me more than any of the other students, so I try my best to avoid him. I can never tell what's he's thinking, plus he might actually be as crazy as the rumors about him say.

"Well, let's start the lesson then." Stein says. Rolling towards the chalkboard in his chair. I wonder how Soul's doing. He was really nice. Dad better not be slave-driving him. I really need to look him up I swear I've heard the name 'Evans' before. Did I read it somewhere? If I can go to the school library I could probably find it in the archives. As soon as class is over I have to do that, this nagging feeling is driving me nuts. After that, I can ask Stein about Giriko. There's a high chance he knows him, I think I remember hearing that he's been in the Asylum. Who said it? I think he did when he introduced himself to the class a few months earlier. I've got a long day today, don't I?

~oxoXoxo~

FINALLY done, oh my GAWD. I am so so sooooo sorry that I haven't updated in… two months? Something like that, I think. Please forgive me! I was on vacation, I didn't feel like doing anything. '"

Anyways, since this seems like a filler chapter to me chapter four will be coming out soon, that I can PROMISE. But until that time comes around, see you guys! Leave a review or shoot a PM, I read all the ones I get. Tell me any suggestions or advice you might have, I'll try it out. Bye! :]
