If I Were A Boy

"Shit. Shit. Shit. Shit. Shit. Shit" Soul walked back and forth. And for the first time in his whole life, he got up early and went to school with Black Star. They were in the classroom and it was too early for other students to join them. As for Black Star, Soul forced him to go to school by bribing him. And Soul didn't sleep well last night. He kept thinking about what he did. Mouth on hers, fight about choosing, tears. Her taste. Everything. He risked everything with his involuntary action. It wasn't in his intention to kiss her. His own body did.

"Baby cheeses, Soul! First, you called me here. Second, you're acting so damn paranoid. And third, it is six damn thirty in the morning!" Black Star yelled at Soul, who kept walking back and forth. He took a fist full of his hair and propped on a desk.

"I KISSED MAKA, OKAY?!" He finally blurted out. And for once, Black Star was quiet. Not a three seconds quiet, he was totally quiet. Even his breathes were still-silent. His gaze on Soul was blank and Soul guessed he was too shocked to react. And when he did, he started chuckling softly.

"You fucked-up bad. I don't know where to put it. But Soul... Maka's a girl. I hope you know that" Soul kept his eyes on Black Star who started staggering away from the classroom. He got frustrated though, because he was right. He fucked-up so bad that their friendship was probably fucked-up. It wasn't in his plans to kiss her, he just grabbed and kissed without thinking briefly.

"What am I going to do?" He asked himself. He placed his face over his palms and started thinking. He made things worse in sorting out with Maka. 'Am I really the wrong side? Am I really wrong with Blair?' Those were the two questions that troubled him much. He asked Blair about it, she said... She just likes the way Maka reacts on what she does. Like what, exactly? Soul didn't bother to remember her eyes. Her jaded-green eyes that collapsed with tears because of him.

He groaned in frustration. Not now, he needs time to think over things. He needs time to think about what he did. Was it intentional or an accident? Was it?

Soon, the classroom started flooding with people. And, they were at least shocked that Soul wasn't late for the first time in history. Soul rested his head on his desk with his arms folded. He didn't cared to walk with Blair like what they usually do. He cared to see Maka in class. Beside him, determined to learn. But where is she?

A few minutes later, Black Star walked in the classroom with Tsubaki beside him. A few people were whispering that they were officially a couple but Soul didn't cared about their rumors. "HEY FUCKTARD! HAVE YOU SEEN, MAKA? I CAN'T CONTACT HER PHONE. SHE KEEPS REJECTING THE GOD'S CALLS" His voice was too loud enough for other people to bare, so a lot started glaring at him but he was too dense to notice.

"I don't know, alright? Can you just... Oh! Stop saying her name for a little while! I need to rest my head!" He yelled. Loud enough for other people to stare in their direction. Soul faced his head the other way, completely facing Maka's empty seat. Both Black Star and Tsubaki shrugged their shoulders before walking away.

Soul closed his eyes to stop his head from throbbing with Maka's name. Maka's face, Maka's taste. Everything related to her. But then, he felt someone in front of him but he didn't dared to look up because he knew it was Black Star. "Christ... Can you not get what I said? Get out of my fucking face!" He yelled without looking up.

"You don't have to be mean" Then, he realized it was a woman's voice. As he looked up, it was Blair. Smirking halfway with her arms crossed. For some reason, he didn't felt attracted to her like he used to. Like how he told her how beautiful her hair was or how incredible her eyes were. But now, nothing.

"Blair, can we just... Talk later? I really need to be alone" With that, Blair kissed him on the cheek and then staggered away. He did hoped that Maka would burst through the classroom like nothing happened. Like that incident never happened. But no, she never came. And he grew worried more and more in each passing second.

He tapped his hands on his desk in various patterns in hopes to pass time. He hummed a few of his favorite songs. He drew an ugly monster on the back of his notebook but as he checked the time, he only past fifteen minutes of the time. Time seemed to move slower when he waited. But he didn't care, he wanted Maka to sit beside him. Her jade-green eyes present to his.

Luck seems to be out of his momentum, even when the bell rang Maka never came. Professor Stein walks inside the classroom as everyone stood up and greeted him. He greeted them back and motioned them to sit down. And they did. "Alright class, today in biology class, I expect you to prepare for a test next week-" But before he could continue, Maka bursts through the door. Panting.

Soul's red wine eyes grew wider and Maka seemed to notice the same expression written on her face. "Professor, I-I'm sorry. I'm late. I didn't watched my time wisely" She uttered without looking on his direction. Stein adjusted his circular glasses before speaking.

"Maka, I expect you to be punctual in class. But, I've noticed your punctuality all throughout the days so I'll let you slip... For today" She sighed in relief. That sigh that Soul missed. She never done that much often or he was never there to hear it himself.

"Thank you, sir" She applied a genuine smile before creeping back her nervousness.

"Alright, please... Sit down" With that, she waited three more seconds before she motioned for her seat. Her seat, beside Soul. On the corner. 'Crap' Was her only thought she can remember. She tried her best to avoid his eyes but the corner of her eyes seen his gaze locked on hers. And, she felt embarrassed.

As soon as the next class started, Soul didn't had the guts like he promised to tell her everything. He grew silent from one point to another. Whenever he tries to, doubt comes across and sweeps him off his momentum. Maka, sat still without moving a muscle. She focused straight on the teacher. Her eyes never leaving the teacher whatsoever that Soul didn't gave a fuck about.

"So Soul... Do you mind sharing what you thought?" He snapped out of his thoughts as he realized that the professor was now in front of him and the entire class was staring at him. Excluding Maka, who was 'busy' writing something in her notebook.

"I er-... Thoughts about?"

"What do you think about karma?" Their religion teacher asked. But soon, a lot of thoughts babbled in his mind. "Well sir... I think that... There is bad karma and good karma. Bad karma happens when you do something ridiculously bad to someone and it comes back to you. Good karma happens when you do something good and vice versa. Sir, I think... Both karmas work the same way. Like, when someone not in particular, does something unintentionally bad, the other person would think that he or she should do another bad in return but soon... I think he or she will realize that there is still some good karma in that person even if he has done something... Very very very wrong" The professor's mouth gaped open. Including the students.

Soul kept eyeing Maka whenever he came across his thoughts and he could feel her listening. Maka gripped tighter on her paper with clenched teeth. "But karmas doesn't work like what people are feeling" She disagreed on Soul's statement very hard. Since her eyes were glaring back at him and she stood up from her seat, trying to tower Soul but failed miserably.

"I'm not talking about humans. I'm just giving an example" He retorted back with the same expression and tone of voice. They were not even arguing about the karma anymore, they were arguing about themselves that no one knew about.

"Why do you give weird examples? And for thoughts that means reflection, pea brain!"

"Why do you care? The professor didn't asked you, he asked me. Is your name Soul anyway? If it is, then I understand. Oh, that's right. It's not!"

"Will you two be quiet? Enough already? Can you both follow a simple rule in class... All I asked is for Mr. Evans to give his thoughts and Ms. Albarn, why do you have to respond like that? I liked his answer... Not until the both of you started shouting. So both of you, fill this detention slips and explain this to Ms. Marie" Both sighed in embarrassment and bowed their heads, apologizing.

A few hours later, the bell rang for lunch. A few classmates already left and Maka tried her best to pick-up her things as fast as she could but before she could leave, Soul already held her wrist tight enough to not let her go. "Let go of my wrist! Let me go!" She demanded, trying her best to remove his grip.

"No! I keep thinking to myself what was wrong, okay? Now, I want you to hear what I want to say, please" With that, Maka slowly stopped pursuing to let his grip go. She tried her best to listen but some part of her doesn't want to hear any of it.

"Maka, we've been awesome friends since we know it. I hate it when we act all cold with one another. Listen, the kiss? I know... I was a fool, stupid, dumbass an asshole. And anything you can name me. Maka, I don't want that kiss to ruin our friendship. I mean, that kiss was nothing. It was nothing. I was just too dumb and stupid to think of anything else to do. I'm so sorry. I'm also sorry that... I offended you that... I didn't thought of you as a girl. I'm really sorry. Let's just... You know, forget that. It was nothing" Maka turned silent for a moment. The words she hated to hear appeared before her. Before she could stop any of it.

She didn't said anything. She stared on the ground the opposite way. With one last attempt to jerk his grip, he immediately did. She walked away without letting him know that she is crying. Silently crying. A cry that even Soul didn't recognize. As she bowed her head while walking, she bumped onto someone. "S-sorry I-"

"Maka? Are you... Crying again?" His voice was familiar. As she looked up, she felt relieved than before. It was Kid with his golden gleaming eyes that seemed to relieve her as he walked beside her. "N-no , it-it's nothing" She stuttered but Kid wasn't really buying it.

"Alright, I won't ask about it. Let's just have lunch... My treat" He winked at her before taking her by the hand as they walked inside the cafeteria.

The two individuals held a tray of their food. Both sat on the table on the corner of the cafeteria. She stared on her food in a matter of seconds before slowly eating. "Maka... You okay?"

"Y-yeah. I'm fine" She played with her food and Kid shrugged his head in disagreement. She wasn't fine nor okay. She felt shit about everything.

"Maka... I can't stand looking at you like this. Okay... What can I do to help?" Maka placed her fork on the tray and she hugged Kid tight as if her life depended on it. Kid was caught off guard before he hugged her back. Maka felt relieved, eve okay. She inhaled his fresh scent. Fabric. Body spray. There was a lot that kepes playing through her sense of smell.

"My mama always hugs me tight whenever I cry. You helped me a lot already" She whispered. She felt the warmth of Kid colliding with hers and she was proud that she met him. She didn't regret asking him on a date only if she knew this was going to happen.

"Then don't let go until you're okay" She turned her head to see him and he was smiling genuinely. Her cheeks turned a bit pink before she smiled. "Thank you" A few seconds passed as Maka lets her go of her grip and then they continued eating but not until the loud mouth appeared before them together with him.

She immediately tore her eyes against his when he focused on her. "Hey Maka, mind if we blend?" Black Star asked with his most calm voice possible. Maka narrowed her eyes at him as the two guys joined in the opposite direction. Why was he quiet? She couldn't recall.

"Why're you that quiet?" She asked.

"Well... Remember the time I asked for you both to come with me at cheer leading practice? Well... Soul said I need to shut up for three days but I am allowed to talk this soft. I guess, we forgot about that part when we all have some business" Everyone got the idea of what Black Star meant. And so, they ate silently.

Maka felt uneasy because Soul kept staring at her like she's a murderer. "So Soul, how are you with Blair?" Black Star asked to start a conversation. "I don't really know... I ignored her a couple of times because I need to... Do something" She knew what Soul meant though.

"I got a story. That's pretty boring" Maka blurted. "A girl said to a guy 'Come to my house at night, there will be nobody' And the guy came at the girl's house and then there was nobody. The next day, the guy asked where she was? She said, forget about it. It's just a joke, its nothing"

"I don't like the story" Soul started with his eyes glaring at hers but she wasn't threatened, she hated him for that. "I don't care if you don't like it" Maka walked away and the two other eating friends weren't aware of what was happening.

"You were both fighting over a joke" Black Star blurted, Kid felt worried as he stood up from his seat. "Oh and Soul, I may not know what happened. But I don't want to see Maka crying again" And then he ran away, looking for Maka. Soul's mouth gaped open. "Dude, did he just...?" Black Star didn't continue, Soul knew what he meant. And then he just nodded.
