When Maka can back to reality, she realized what position her and Kidd were in, and jumped away quickly. She wiped away any leftover or fresh tears on her face with the back of her arm. Maka grabbed her backpack and then proceeded out of the classroom door.

When Kidd pulled her into a hug, he seemed taken back at the sudden action he did. But what could he do? She was just standing there crying. If anyone would have seen that, people would think he did something or told her something. Then his reputation would be destroyed. Not only was he the next principle after his father, but he was one of those guys who girls thought were charming. Of course, Soul would be the first choice, however he was dating Liz. Kidd's heart started to ach at the thought. He liked Liz more than a 'friend' should. But he couldn't help it. Considering that Liz was Kidd's first love. Since Kidd was always locked up inside his own home, and was forbidden to go outside – unless he was told or asked to – he never had much experience with girls – except for the maids that work for his father –, because he was home schooled. So when Lord Death enrolled Kidd into his father school, he met Liz. I guess you could say it was love at first sight. But ever since then, he's been trying to get her attention ever since he was a freshman.

Black Star would be another choice below Kidd, but he's in love with Tsubaki for a while. He's been trying to find the most 'godliest' moment for him to ask her out. Now, Black Star can be childish and something even stupid, but when it came to Tsubaki he would absolutely anything for her. He would even give up his goal to surpass God. Of course knowing Tsubaki and her sweet nature, she wouldn't let him do something like that. So, it's really a win, win kind of thing.

While he's two best friends are taken, that only left Kidd alone and single. Girls flirt with him, but he really doesn't care about a girl – or even look at them – unless they are symmetrical. After a few – a lot of – flirting, sexual suggestions, and symmetry fits, some of the girls got the message that he didn't want date anyone. While others just won't take no for an answer and become his personal stalkers. While a few think that Kidd rejects girls that approach him, is because he's simply gay. But that's not it, it just that he's waiting for something to heal the broken wound inside his heart.

Kidd looks down at the fragile girl that's crying in his arms. Then and there, he notices something that he's never really noticed before. The one thing that other girls failed at, the thing he loves the most, which she is… PERFECTLY SYEMMETRICAL! How her ashy blond hair are in perfect pigtails on either side of her head. Even her BANGS in sync. A small smile spreads across he's face. If anyone would pass-by and see Death the Kidd smiling at a girl who's crying in his arms, would think he's enjoying seeing her in pain. But in Kidd's mind, this is just him enjoying her beauty – even though she's crying only on his left shoulder – nothing could ruin this moment right here. Maybe, just maybe she could be that one special person who can heal the hole in his heart.

Kidd was in his so call happy place. Nothing could ruin this moment. Not even Black Star's yelling could damage this wonderful scene, except for the fact that Maka just jumped out of Kidd's arms. A rush of disappointment ran through his veins. That nice warm feeling he had in his arms a couple a seconds ago just left his body. He opened his eyes only to find Maka gone and out the classroom door.

Maka quickly ran out of classroom with her book bag in her hand. When she rounded the corner, she bumped into someone. The seventeen year-old girl, looked up to see that she ran into her father, Spirit. Now during these meeting neither one of them say anything to each other. They just walk on by like they never even met. That's how Maka's life works. Well, at least with her father it is. Maka was about to pass him like any other reunion, but Spirit puts his left hand out in front of her. She sees that it's a fold like a letter of some sort. Maka just grabs it and walks off. To the both of them, it's nothing new. That's just how they communicate with each other. That's all it is, nothing more, nothing less.

Okay, okay, I know that's short filler chapter, but I don't really have a lot of time writing these chapters. I have a lot of school work I need to do, then I have basketball practice after school, than go home and do my homework. But this isn't about me. This is about the story that all my readers are so kind enough to have patience for. I really appreciate how all of you are so flexible with waiting. I also appreciate those who have reviewed, followed, and favorite this story! It means a lot to me! So, keep that up and I will try and post the next chapter as fast as I can. I too wanted to give a shout of, "Happy Halloween everyone!" I hope everyone will have a great and fun time! Now, if you are one of those people who have been told that you're too old to go trick-n-treating, tell them, "Who cares?" I surely don't. I'm 14 years-old – which is still young – but I don't care what people say about me. Even my mom is going to dress up. This is going to awesome Halloween … Right after my basketball practice … Then I'll have fun. Yea! Well, that's all for now. I hope to see you all again! Bye!~ :D
