*I appreciate the reactions from your reviews! I think, I regretted starting an account just now. I should have created an account a few months ago. Anyways, tell me what you think about my first fan fiction, okay? Thanks! I actually love reading reviews, so please do review me! :)

If I Were A boy

Maka didn't had second thoughts about waiting for Soul after cheer leading practice. Instead, right after practice, she immediately walked away from the gymnasium without looking back. No matter how much she contemplated to talk to him, she couldn't. Because, she was scared of attaching those feelings more and more. She popped her head on the half-open door and there were only a few people inside. Normally because students hate being in detention with Excalibur. It was a torture for students to listen to one of his fourteenth century stories. But, she admitted to herself that she would rather listen to him than wait for something impossible to happen.

She slowly staggered on the desk. Two or three stared before they returned to their personal business. It wasn't that personal since more were throwing paper airplanes and a girl was texting with her phone. Maka guessed that she's a sorority sister since her phone is expensive. Maka grabbed her book entitled 'Blink' and then started reading. Facing fantasy rather than reality.

"Good Afternoon, students" The 'mighty' Excalibur greeted as he approached the room. A lot grumbled under their breathes as everyone stood up and greeted him back. "Alright, I have a few rules in detention. Number One, any noise will add you five minutes here in detention. Number Two, no littering. Any litter will add you ten minutes. Number Three, don't annoy me or I'll add an hour for you in detention-" A student raised his hand and then interrupted Excalibur.

Excalibur cocked an eye brow before cutting his sentence. Everyone face-palmed around him including Maka. She guessed he's a new student since he still doesn't know how to understand Excalibur's patterns. "Question, are you allowed to-" the guy was interrupted by Excalibur, hitting a long stick of wood on his desk.

"FOOL! Five minutes, noisy"

"But-"

"Ten"

"Wait-"

"Fifteen" Finally, the student got what was asked as everyone eventually sat down and started doing something really silent. And reading a book was really an advantage for what the other students were doing. Maka was in the middle of reading, when the door swung open revealing her best friend panting heavily. "Sorry for being late" He eyed the crowd and Maka noticed it, she immediately hid her face behind the book and tried her best to be invisible in his eyes. She felt stupid on what she's doing, Soul knew about her ever since they were kinder so why would she hide herself?

"DURING THE FOURTEENTH CENTURY, A GUY NAMED MAXIMUS ROBBED A KING'S HOUSE INCLUDING TAKING HIS WIFE AND TWO DAUGHTERS WHO WERE VIRGIN..." His stories went on and on but no one was actually listening.

She's right, Soul found her in an instant and she fully regretted sitting in the corner with a seat vacant beside her. She dropped the book on the desk and tried her best and all her willpower to read and focus on the book. But no matter how much she tried, she's too distracted since she could see Soul's genuine smile in the corner of her eyes.

"Maka, I know now why you were mad. Listen, I'm so sorry for ditching you. I don't know what happened to me. I fully forgot what happened-"

"Did I hear talking?" Excalibur interrupted, Soul slowly sank on his seat and rubbed his forehead. Maka knew that gesture, she knows that Soul's annoyed by Excalibur's strict attitude. And Maka was about to stifle a laughter but she's still not ready to give up to Soul's apology... Just yet. She needs to take a comeback for ditching her. And she felt satisfied of the idea.

"Okay okay. I know why you were mad. You were mad because-" But before Soul could continue again. Excalibur stood up from his seat and crossed his arms. "Evans, ten minutes" Soul took a huge breathe and then closed his eyes. Maka knew, Soul was getting frustrated. She felt a bit guilty for ignoring him while he tried his best apologizing. She even finds it cute.

Instead of talking, Soul finally came up with an idea. He took a piece of paper and then started writing with a sharpie. He struggled writing on the paper neatly since he kept on groaning and even cursing on the paper as if it was talking back at him. Maka slid a small smile on her lips, that was that. She doesn't hate him anymore. That's what she hates about herself because she can easily forgive Soul in an instant but he did a lot of effort or at least he tried anyway.

Soul softly slid the piece of paper on her desk. At first, Maka stared on the board as if she still haven't notice the apology letter but then finally gave in and then started reading the letter.

'Alright, Maka. I'm sorry that I ignored you earlier. Blair was talking to me! For the first time, when I finally felt serious about being with a girl. I think this is it. You know that, right? I talked to you about it. But I'm still sorry for being such an asshole earlier. Normally, I wouldn't react to girls like that but I didn't from Blair. I'm so sorry. Are we still dudes?' Maka knew she's not feeling the feeling of relief or even anticipation. She felt sorrow and despair. The letter was the evidence. Every sentence screamed that she's just a friend and even a dude.

'Maka, don't you cry. No. Not in front of him. Don't cry. Don't cry' But as much as she encouraged himself, tears still spilled and then rolled down on her face. The tears dropped on the paper until it turned a bit wet and soft. Maka extended her fist for Soul to bump but Soul got distracted by her tears.

"Maka, why are you crying?" The tone of worry made her flutter for a moment. The truth was, she understand now that she's brozoned. She felt that, Soul would not give her a chance to make him like her back. "I'm just happy that you fucktard... Understood my point. I thought your brain was just a peanut" She tried her best to act and joke around, hoping that Soul would buy it.

The worry-some look on his face turned into a genuine smile and finally, Maka smiled at him and felt relieved. But she was thinking of something else. Maybe she felt satisfied by being just his friend. Maybe, wanting more made her sad. She was asking for something he can't give. She thought. "ALBARN AND SOUL... FIFTEEN MINUTES" The best of friends eyed each other before silently chuckling.

"Well Maka, I know that Blair hates you" For a first, Maka was shocked. She turned her attention back to him and then waited for a response. Soul scratched his head and smiled. "Actually, I act all dumb because I want to know what people think of... I mean, it ain't cool to act like a dumb shit for a girl"

"But... I thought you're 'madly' in love with her?" Soul chuckled at first before replying.

"Yes, I'm serious about her but I'm not acting all stupid just for her. I'm testing her. I want my best friends to like her too" Maka felt touched about what he said. She just wanted to tell him everything about Blair that could change his mind but Soul might hate her and her plan will be backfired. And liking Blair was a blur to her. If liking Blair means accepting her as his GIRLFRIEND, then she could just shave her hair off.

"Dude, that's so gay. If I were a guy, I would really thought that you're gay" Soul chuckled at her and she chuckled back. That was something that made Soul relieved about things. Maka makes things jolly. Soul noticed that there were other people who felt envious about Maka's position. Soul was a heart breaker in school therefore he's also a playboy. But Maka felt the opposite, no matter how close friends they were. Soul only noticed other girls with more pretty faces than her.

"If Black Star was here, he could've laughed at your ass right now" Maka said.

"Speaking of Black Star... He succeeded. He flipped Tsubaki. So, I still won. You... Need... To... Ask... Someone... For a date" Soul whispered. And then they were back to being them. Teasing, high conversations and a whole lot more different than people's conversations and hang outs. Maka groaned in frustration, she forgot about the bet and she thought he forgot about it too. Now, she's in trouble. Who would she ask for a date then?

"Shut up. I'll ask someone out. You'll see" Even though she doesn't have a plan, she hoped that everything will work out soon. Who could she ask? She had limited friends and most of them were girls so... How can she deal about it. Or unless, she wants the other way around.

"You know, you can always back out... But... You owe me five bitch slaps" Maka knitted her eye brows together. No, she's not receiving those slaps of shame and coward. Not now, she'll find someone that might agree with what she want. It may be hard but its worth a shot.

"ALBARN AND EVANS! BOTH OF YOU WILL STAY HERE TO CLEAN THIS ROOM AND ARRANGE THE DESKS!" Both Soul and Maka sighed. They were a bit startled by Excalibur's attitude. He always told stories about the last century or whatever but now... He remained strict. But that was not the point, they just had to be punished.

"Okay, both of you... I'll be back right after the conference. Make sure the room is clean and organized" The other students already left as Excalibur handed the two students two brooms and he immediately left. "Finally, the devil's gone" Maka leaned on the wall beside the window with her hand resting on her forehead.

"Hey MAKA! IS EXCALIBUR GONE?" Black Star's head popped from the window that made Maka startled. She held a hand over her chest and chopped a book on Black Star's cranium. "BLACK STAR! DON'T SCARE ME LIKE THAT!" She yelled back as he nudged forward and joined his circle of friends.

"So... Black Star, tell me more... About Tsubaki" Soul was practically teasing Maka. Her cheeks turned flustered and she playfully hits his arm until he stopped laughing. "UH... DO YOU HAVE SOMETHING I DON'T KNOW?" Black Star felt out of place.

"Oh yeah... We had a bet. If you picked up one chick, Maka needs to ask someone out for a date and if you didn't, I need to take her to the movies" Black Star started laughing at Maka's embarrassed face and because they always fight with each other. "WHY YOU LITTLE-" Maka was about to chop his head over and over again until he bled to death but good thing Soul stopped the both of them before they cause anything violent.

"You guys are mean... But I like the idea, Soul. And since, Maka is involved and lost. HAHAHAHAHA!" Maka groaned in response as she started erasing the writings on the board.

"Wait, Maka... Why ask him on a date?" Black Star pointed his index finger to Soul. But before facing his question, she bit her bottom lip. She regretted the idea of her consequence. She felt some cold sweat hanging on her forehead but she needed to face it anyway.

"It's not a date, you moron. I just want to see this movie with him" That was true actually. But that's not what she think. The very reason why was because, she wanted to be with him.

"Well guess what... We're not going on a date. You need to ask someone for a date first-" Soul cuts himself off when Maka stopped listening to him.

"Hey you... Can I ask you on a date this Saturday?" The guy whom she bumped on to passed by their opened door as he smirked at first and nodded. "Sure thing" Then, he stormed off. Maka didn't have the right mind to ask a random person to date with her but he agreed anyway. Might as well take it.

The two guys' jaws dropped on the floor as Maka victoriously gave herself a point. But she's not anticipated that she finally did her quest or did it. FOR NOW. She was aiming more to be with Soul without being too obvious. "Wait, wait wait... Who was that?" Soul interrupted as Maka shrugged her shoulders.

"Wait... So you're saying, you randomly asked someone out... On a date?" Soul asked. Maka slowly nodded. Contemplating if she should be confident that she finally asked someone out or not because she doesn't know him. Soul closed his eyes and Maka knew what he's feeling.

"That's just plain stupid"

"Hey, it's not stupid! You said I need to ask someone. There, problem solved. Now, what the heck do you want? Does it have to be like a fairy shit or something? Do I need to wear ball gowns or dance like shit?" Maka was getting frustrated herself because Soul couldn't just agree that she finally did it.

"HEY FUCKTARD, IT'S NOT STUPID! IT TOOK ME ABOUT AN HOUR TO FINALLY ASK A SINGLE GIRL BUT LOOK AT MAKA. THAT'S CLASSIC" Both Black Star and Maka fist bumped each other while Soul still felt that it wasn't right.

"I didn't asked you to ask a stranger. I asked you for someone. What if the boy does anything funny?" Maka felt touched by his concern but she can take care of herself. She may be small but she's too smart to figure out what to do for herself.

"DON'T WORRY ABOUT MAKA! OUR MAKA IS A BIG GIRL! SHE CAN WHIP A BOOK ON HIS FOREHEAD ANYWAY" Black Star babbled between them just before anything turns tense. Maka nodded in agreement. She felt like she's asking for her parents' approval since Soul was acting like one.

"Whatever... But don't say I didn't warned you" He pointed. Maka smiled as the three started doing what they were supposed to do except for Black Star who was just sitting on the teacher's table, babbling about his arrogant self.
