Hi there! Shadowmistx98 here! XD
Here it is... Chapter 3!
Disclaimer: I do not own Soul Eater.
Maka woke up at 11:00 am the next morning. It was Saturday. She went down stairs to eat breakfast. No one was there.
"Mom? Dad? Where are you?" she cried out for them. She looked around. She looked at the fridge to see if they left her any food.
"Urgh... they could've just left a note or something..." she mumbled as she closed the fridge.
Meanwhile Outside...
"I'm so happy to have a new neighbor! My name is Alexandra Evans! You can call me Alex" the woman with white long hair introduced herself to Kami and Spirit.
"This is my husband, Rex and my son, Soul!" she pointed them out as they smiled.
"Oh! My name's Kami and this is my husband, Spirit! It's a pleasure to meet you!" Kami smiled in return.
"Don't you have any kids?" Rex asked.
"Oh, we do... but she's still sleeping , she kinda had a hard day yesterday" Spirit answered then Maka came outside of their house looking for the two of them.
"Mom! Dad! Where have you been? I've been looking all over the house for you, I thought you left me alone!" Maka approached them then she looked at the Evans family.
"Oh, good morning dear, we're just introducing ourselves to our new neighbors..." Spirit said.
"Maka, this is Alexandra Evans and Rex Evans!" Kami pointed them out. The couple smiled at her sweetly. Maka did so in return. Her eyes suddenly turned red when she saw Soul smirking at her. Their eyes locked.
"Hey, Maka... Nice outfit you got there..." he grinned naughtily as he looked at her legs.
"Oh shoot..." Maka forgot. She didn't change her clothes when she got up. She wore a green tank top and black shorts.
"Why you...! Soul you... pervert!" Maka blushed furiously as she went back inside the house. Spirit eyed Soul evilly. Soul laughed and then her mother gave him a smack in the head. "Oow!"
"Soul! Have some manners! That was completely rude and embarrassing to our new neighbor!" Alex lectured him as he rubbed his head in pain.
"Wait... you know each other already?" Kami asked.
"Uh, yeah... We're classmates in school..." Soul replied to Kami's question.
"Well, I see you have already earned a bad reputation from her.." Rex said.
"I'm sure Maka doesn't think that way... I'm sorry, she really just had a hard past in her old school, that's why she acts that way, but she'll cool off eventually..." Kami smiled. Soul looked at Kami. He took interest in that small detail.
"Hard past? What could she mean by that?" Soul thought.
"It's ok... you know she's really cute! Does she have any siblings?" Alex asked.
"uh, no, she's an only child... How about Soul?" Kami asked.
"He has a brother but he doesn't live here anymore..." she replied. Soul got back in their house.
"So, why did you move here?" Alex asked again.
"Oh, many reasons actually..." Kami and Alex continued to talk to each other not noticing their husbands staring at them. Spirit and Rex looked at each other and nodded.
"This is the start of a good relationship!" they shook their hands with each other.
After the Meet and Greet
"Maka, don't be like that, he didn't mean it, he was just joking you know that?" Kami washed the dishes. Maka was curled up in a fetal position on the sofa.
"Yeah right! Some joke a boy could pull off at a sweet, innocent girl!" Spirit said. Maka rolled her eyes.
"I'm sure he's just trying to befriend Maka..." Kami approached Maka.
"Maka, could you check the mailbox outside for me?" Kami asked Maka sweetly.
"K, mom..." Maka lazily got up and went out side. This time she wore baggy pants up to her knees and a hoodie. She opened the mailbox and many of it fell.
"Wow! Great!" Maka knelt down and picked them up. She shuffled it to see who was the mails from. Mostly was just a greeting. Then she felt a shadow cover her from the sun. She looked up and saw a boy with blue spiky hair.
"You're Maka Albarn, right? Not bad... You're quite attractive" he smiled.
"What is that supposed to mean?" Maka angrily stood up and prepared to throw the mails at him but Soul pulled him back.
"Whoa, whoa! Easy! Sorry about BlackStar here! He's a little bit outgoing, if you know what I mean..." Soul said.
"What's that supposed to mean? C'mon Soul! I'm the great BlackStar! Everyone's suppose to worship me! Ahahaha!" he proudly said. Maka was about to charge at him again but Soul stopped her. He grabbed Maka's shoulders.
"Go back inside BlackStar, I'll meet you there" Soul ordered him.
"Yeah, sure! Nice meeting you Maka!" BlackStar laughed as he went inside Soul's house.
"What is wrong with that guy! He's completely insane!" Maka took off Soul's hands off of her shoulders.
"That's BlackStar... please just bear with him... he just recently lost his parents..." Soul said.
"Just... lost em?" Maka stared at Soul in surprise.
"Yeah, that's why my parents took him in... He's going to study at our school now"
"Hmph! With that attitude you can barely see that he was really affected by the incident..." Maka said.
"I know, but that's his only way in forgetting his hard past... speaking of hard past..." Soul looked at Maka. "How about you? Haven't you got one?" Maka looked at him. Her eyes widened.
"How did he...?" she looked at the ground to avoid his eyes. Then something caught her attention. A letter on the ground signed T.N. Her eyes lit up in joy.
"Oh my gosh! I can't believe it!" Maka picked it up and rushed into her house. Soul looked at her as she got in.
"Wow, nice way of avoiding the topic..."
"Mom! Dad! Look! It's from Tsubaki!" she excitedly opened the letter.
"Really? That's nice!" Spirit smiled as he sipped his coffee.
"Let's hear it then..." Kami looked at her.
"Ehem..." Maka prepared to recite it.
"Dear Maka... How are you doing there? Are you doing fine with your new school? I hope you are..."
"Well, isn't she sweet" Kami smiled at Tsubaki's gentle words.
"Ever since you left, things have never gotten the same for me. I miss you so much. Don't worry! I've been working hard on my grades! You've inspired me so much in studying... And I even got an A on the subject I asked you to help me study with. Isn't that amazing? Thank you so much, Maka..."
"You even inspired her in your studies" Spirit was so proud of her that he could cry.
"I really hope you're doing fine there and I really hope that you could visit me here or I could visit you there! Please reply! Miss you so much now!..."
"She really is a true, sincere friend..." Kami continued to smile together with Spirit.
"If you can't reply with snail mail just email me on tsubaki_ncamellia(at)yahoo(dot)com
Sincerely yours, Tsubaki Nakatsukasa..."
Maka continued to stare at the paper. "What's wrong honey?" Spirit asked.
"What's this on the end of the paper..." she wondered and recited it.
"Oh, and one more thing, Maka. Kid wants to say 'hi' to you"
They all fell silent for a moment... Then Maka shouted.
"Urgh! And he had the nerve to say hi! If he wanted to say hi why didn't he just sent another personal letter to me instead of using Tsubaki! He could've... just done... that..." she sniffed and went upstairs.
"Urgh! That Kid really pisses me off!" Spirit stood up preparing to follow Maka. Kami stopped him.
"The best thing you could give her now is space..." Kami said.
Maka slammed the door and hugged her pillow. Soul heard the door so he peeked outside his window. He saw Maka sitting on her bed hugging her pillow. He quickly hid and looked at her from his bedroom. He didn't know her bedroom was opposite of his.
"Why...?" Maka asked herself.
"Wow, I can hear her too..." Soul thought.
"He could've just done that... That would feel so much better..." Maka's hug tightened. Blair looked at her. "Meow?"
"Tell me, why do I have to feel like this...?" Maka looked at her cat. "Meow?"
"Well, I don't expect you to understand me... You're a cat..." Maka wiped her tears off but she only cried more.
"Is she... crying?" Soul gazed at her.
"Look at you... Just sitting there, enjoying your little cat life... But me... I have to face every problem I have that I encounter..." Maka cried more.
"When will I move on from him?"
"Move on from him? Did she have a boyfriend?" Soul was really intrigued.
"I really hate him! Why did I even meet him?"
"Ow!" Maka tripped at the floor causing her schoolmates to laugh at her. She was new. She only had a few friends but they weren't there to help her that time. She wiped the dirt off her face and sat up. She was about to cry when she saw a boy reaching out a hand for her.
"Are you ok?" the boy with ebony hair with 3 unusual white stripes on the left side of it smiled at her gently.
"Y-yeah..." she took his hand and stood up.
"Here.." he offered a hankerchief to her. Maka stared at it at first but took it in the end.
"Stay with me... in case you get lost..." he took her hand and began to walk. Maka followed him.
"By the way, I'm Kid, you're Maka Albarn, right? The new girl?" Kid asked her. Maka nodded. Kid gently smiled as a response to her.
"Everything that he told me..."
"Ok, Maka and Kid! You're partners for the Economics Class!" the professor said. Maka looked at Kid and blushed as he smiled. They began to wear their aprons. Maka was in charge of beating the eggs. She wasn't quite familiar in cooking.
"Um, how do I do it?" she asked in confusion as she held the fork.
"Like this... follow my lead..." Kid held Maka's hand and beated the egg with it.
"Simple, is it not?" he smiled.
"Uh, y-yeah!" Maka blushed when she noticed Kid's face was an inch away from her. Kid chuckled.
"You're so cute Maka!"
"Every freaking word that he told me..."
"I love you too, Maka" he smiled as he looked at her.
"Y-you do?"
"Yes... ever since that day..." Kid kissed Maka in the lips. Maka turned red but kissed him back.
"...was a lie..."
"W-wait! Don't-! Kid!"
"I'm sorry, Maka... but I guess this is the right thing to do... not only for me but for you too..."
"N-no! Please! Don't leave me! You're my life Kid! I love you!"
"I'm sorry Maka... but I love Liz..."
"No, no, no! You said you love me!"
"I-I'm really sorry..."
"You're leaving me for her?"
Kid looked at Maka with pity in his eyes.
"No! I don't want to remember you anymore!"
"I love you so much Maka... I really do" Kid smiled at her sweetly.
"I don't want to remember your stupid smile anymore!"
"What did you do to him? Did you make him drink something?" Maka angrily confronted Liz.
"C'mon, Maka... It's no surprise he'll leave you for me!" Liz laughed together with Patty.
"Plus, I don't even have to do anything to make him mine!" Liz said.
"That's not true..." Maka sniffed.
"Yeah, right. Keep your dreams hanging, missy! Nothing will change his decision back!" Liz and Patty left Maka crying on the floor.
"You're all the same!"
"He isn't really meant for you, Maka. Don't cry Maka, he doesn't deserve to be cried over..." Caroline, Sasha and Samantha comforted Maka.
"You all treated me like the others!"
"Caroline, Sasha... Samantha? Why?" Maka looked at them as they where with Liz and Patty.
"C'mon Maka, don't be such a brat... You expect us to comfort you now and then?" Caroline said. Maka stared at her almost about to cry.
"Yeah, just stand up there and cry like a baby!" Sasha and the others laughed as they left.
"If it weren't for Tsubaki... I could've died..."
"Stay away from me!" Maka ran in another direction and sat.
"I'm not leaving you! C'mon, Maka... I'm your friend... friends stay together..." Tsubaki reached out a hand for her. Maka looked at it and hugged her instead. Tsubaki caressed her hair as she cried.
"I could've died a long time ago..."
Soul looked at her from afar then BlackStar came to his room.
"Hey Soul! Whatyadoin-!"
"Sssshhhhh! I'm trying to listen here..." Soul hushed him. BlackStar looked at Maka's window and hid as well.
"Is she... crying?" BlackStar whispered.
"I don't know but I guess she is... based on her words earlier..." Soul whispered back. They continued to listen but it was complete silence right now. And Maka turned the off the lights already and pulled the curtains.
"Well, she's going to bed early..." BlackStar said.
"C'mon, lunch is ready... You don't want me to eat all your food now, do you?" BlackStar stood up from his hiding place.
"Yeah, I'll be there..." Soul smiled as BlackStar left their room. He stood up and glanced at Maka's window.
"Maka Albarn... What did this bastard do to you?"
There it is... I'm crying now... seriously and literally :'(
Anyways I hope you liked this chap! The italics represent Maka's memories of what happened to her.
As for Soul's parents... I named them after my two classmates :P They're the pranksters of my class when I was in first year.
Thanks for reading! :)
