Hi! Shadowmistx98 here! XD
Disclaimer: I do not own Soul Eater.
Maka woke up very early this time. She did her daily routine in the morning and came downstairs to eat breakfast.
"Maka, from now on I want you to go to school and go home from school with Soul and BlackStar..." Kami poured juice on her glass. Maka spilled the water she was drinking.
"What! ?" Maka looked at Spirit. She knew her father wouldn't allow it. Spirit nodded. Maka's eyes widened.
"U-huh... No freaking way! I'm not going with those two!" Maka stood up and grabbed her bag.
"Please, Maka... for your own good" Kami said. Spirit wanted to object but Kami glared at him. Maka grabbed the door knob and looked at her mother.
"For my own good? Whatever, I'm leaving now... bye..." she opened the door and stepped outside. Maka's jaw dropped.
"Hey, Maka!" BlackStar and Soul greeted her as they shoved their hands in their pockets. Kami looked outside and greeted the two. The two greeted her politely.
"No way, mom!" Maka looked at her almost crying. Kami smiled at her.
"C'mon! Let's go! We're gonna be late in school!" BlackStar grabbed her right hand and Soul grabbed her left hand. They both dragged her. Maka looked at Kami with puppy eyes.
"Kami! They're sexually harassing her!" Spirit pointed them out as they disappeared from their sight.
"They are not sexually harassing Maka, Spirit!" Kami looked at him.
Maka walked at the sidewalk in the middle of the two boys. BlackStar and Soul was talking about something she didn't bother to know then laughed.
"Geez, I'm surrounded by idiots..." Maka thought.
"Hey, Maka! Why don't you join our conversation here?" Soul asked.
"Oh, I got a better idea! Why don't you two leave me alone?" Maka shot back at him.
"Well, that's harsh Maka!" BlackStar grabbed her shoulder. Maka glared at him and was about to throw him when Soul interrupted.
"Ehem! We're here..." Soul, BlackStar and Maka entered Shibusen. Then BlackStar sniffed.
"Wait... is that... food?" BlackStar followed the smoke and left Maka with Soul.
"Hey! Wait! BlackStar!" Maka looked at him as he wandered off.
"Don't leave me with him..." Maka looked at Soul nervously. Soul grinned at her and continued to walk. "C'mon, let's go princess, we don't want to be late in our class..."
Maka growled. "But how about BlackStar?"
"Nah, he'll find a way back to our class..." Soul answered. The two went in the school and walked together in the corridor. Everybody looked at them.
"Oh my gosh! Is that the new girl? With our Soul?" "No way! I can't believe it!"
Maka had pretty sharp hearing so she can hear them loud and clear. She kept her distance away from Soul twirling her hands nervously. Soul noticed this and chuckled.
"You know, you don't have to be nervous around me, I am your friend..." he smiled at her.
"Friend?" Maka looked at him evilly.
"Yeah... It's what you said to me yesterday, right?" Maka forgot about it but remembered what she said to him.
"Thanks... for being a friend..."
"Oh, shoot!" Maka covered her mouth. "Me and my big mouth... did I, really say that? I completely forgot..." Maka eyed him nervously then looked away.
"C'mon princess, don't tell me you already forgot?" Soul leaned his face closer to Maka's.
"Oh my gosh!" "No way!" "Princess! ?" "Why did he call her that?"
The whisperings grew wild and it embarrassed Maka.
"Will you stop calling me that! ? And - and..!" Maka couldn't think of a good reason. Why was it like that? She always find the good words to shoot back at people, so why not now? And she was in front of Soul too...
"Aaaaand?" Soul smirked.
"Grrr. I... I hate you! !" Maka ran towards her room. She couldn't think of any other words.
Soul chuckled as he stared at her. Maka furiously opened the door to her class and went to her desk. She made a heads down and groaned.
"Urgh... that was embarrassing..." she mumbled.
"Maka, what's wrong?" Jackie worriedly asked as she patted Maka's back.
"Uh, oh... nothing..." Maka smiled at Kim and Jackie. Then BlackStar approached her.
"Hey, Maka! What's up!" BlackStar talked through the drumstick chicken he was eating. Maka eyed him.
"You! Why did you have to leave?" Maka asked him angrily. Kim and Jackie looked at both of them nervously.
"oh, I'm sorry, I didn't get one for you" BlackStar swallowed.
"That wasn't what I meant!" Maka facepalmed herself.
"If you're talking about Soul, don't worry, you'll get the hang of him..." BlackStar continued to chew.
"Oh, are you guys ok now?" Kim asked Maka.
"Please don't ask..."
"I think you like him..." Jackie giggled.
"Wh-what! ? I do not...!" Maka shouted. "I do not... I don't think I'd like another guy after what Kid did to me... The hell! ? Why am I thinking about him again! Urgh! I better get him out of my mind... or I'll just go crazy!" Maka spaced out for a bit.
"M-Maka? Are you ok?" Jackie noticed her staring into space. "I'm sorry! I was just teasing! I didn't know it would anger you!" she apologized.
"N-no! I'm fine! You don't need to apologize..." Maka replied. Kim, Jackie and BlackStar went to their seats.
"Damn it... Why can't I just forget him?"
School ended and Maka had to bear with the two again. But they've been quiet the whole time. Well that's relaxing... but something unnerving caught her attention. She had this weird feeling that the two was staring at her as they walked on the sidewalk.
"Just a little longer... and we're finally reaching our houses..." she thought. They walked up to the path of their doors. Maka wished the two shut up earlier that morning but now she wished the two would just talk. The silence was deafening.
"Uum... bye guys.." Maka took the initiative to wave them goodbye.
"Bye Maka!" the two waved their hands goodbye. The way they said goodbye was energetic.
"So, was that all a joke or what... whatever... I don't understand those two..." Maka opened the door to their house.
"Maka! I'm glad you finally came home! Did something happen to you?" Spirit panicked. Kami looked at him.
"Uum... I got an A- on a quiz earlier?" Maka raised an eyebrow.
"No! I meant-!" Kami slapped his back.
"Welcome home, dear!" Kami greeted. Maka smiled weirdly. She got upstairs.
"Mom! I won't be having dinner! I have many things to do!" Maka shouted from the second floor. Kami looked at Spirit and smiled.
"Ok..." Maka dropped her bag on the floor and changed her clothes. She opened her laptop and sat on the chair in front of her study table.
"Let's do this..." Maka began to type a letter for Tsubaki.
"Dear Tsubaki, Thanks for sending the letter. It made my day so much! I'm fine in my new school, how about you? Is everything alright there? I'm so thankful that you made me an inspiration for your studies! I have some new friends too... not like the ones I had in there... but anyways they can be trusted! :) They're names are Kim and Jackie. Anyways, thanks for the letter again! Hope you're doing ok there too! You should visit me here too, sorry but I think I can't visit you there yet... I'm still trying to forget... Bye for now!
Sincerely yours, Maka"
Maka stopped at that sentence. She remembered Tsubaki's follow-up message on how Kid wanted to say hi to her. She didn't want to ignore it. They would think she was affected. But she didn't know how to answer it.
"Maka! Are you in there?" someone from outside shouted. "Huh?" Maka opened the window and looked around. Her eyes widened when she saw Soul opposite of her window.
"You're bedroom is there? ?" Maka asked the obvious hoping she would get another answer.
"Me and BlackStar's actually..." Soul answered. Maka eyed him.
"So, what are you doing?" Soul asked.
"Don't you have other things to do? Homeworks?" Maka pushed him away.
"We don't have any... plus, it's my free time..." Soul looked at her lazily. Maka sighed.
"So, what ya doin?" Soul smiled. Maka just replied.
"I'm just composing a letter to Tsubaki..." Maka said. "Ok..."
Maka suddenly remembered Soul's story. She didn't want to bother her parents because of her problems. Soul was the only one that can answer her question. Soul also experienced the pain she had experienced from love. She didn't admit it but she trusted him for this problem of hers.
"Soul, can I ask you something?" Maka started in a soft tone.
"Sure, anything..."
"It's about you... you know... about that girl.. you where with in the past..." Maka was quite embarrassed. She only knew his story because Kim and Jackie told her. He didn't tell her personally.
"You mean Erika? Sure..." Maka's eyes widened when he replied.
"Y-you're not angry because I asked you about it? I mean I didn't ask you to tell your story personally"
"It's ok, almost all the students know my story... I'll be surprised if someone haven't told you yet..." Soul rubbed his head and smiled. Maka bowed and looked down.
"How did it feel...? To be left by the one you love..." Maka's voice turned shaky. Soul looked at her at first then answered.
"It's painful... like a dagger thrusted in your chest... at first I didn't know how I would handle it... I thought of committing suicide... but then I realized..." Maka looked at him. He was smiling... How come...?
"It isn't worth it... I have my family by my side and I don't want them to be upset because of me... I didn't want to let them down... and I thought, there was someone better waiting for me..." he smiled as he looked at Maka. Maka looked at him with agony in her eyes.
"I-... I need advice..."
"About what? That Kid guy?"
"You know that follow-up message Tsubaki wrote... how do... how do I respond to it?" Maka asked.
"Easy, you act natural... you say hi back..." Soul answered.
"But... won't people think I'm still after him?" Maka aked again.
"People will, if that's your true purpose " Soul eyed her.
"W-what! ? No way! I won't ever wan-!" Soul interrupted her.
"My point is you can't push him back... you'll have to treat him as a friend..."
"A friend...?" Maka repeated. Soul nodded as he yawned.
"Anyways... I'm going to bed now... have a good night" Soul pulled the curtains and switched the light off. Maka sighed and got back to her desk.
"Act natural... say hi too?" Maka sighed.
"I guess I don't have other choice... he experienced it before me... why not trust him?" Maka typed.
I just got back from school, me and my mom went to go get my report card and I was jumping and crying in happiness when I found out that I'm a first honor student :D I was also the first in deportment. :P Gosh, I feel like Maka right now!
Well, I hope you like this chapter! :)
