"Maka!" Soul called out her name as he and BlackStar stood in front of the Albarn's door.
"Wow, she's slow…" BlackStar complained. Soul decided to walk up to the door and knock. When Soul was going to knock, the door opened. Maka stared at him as she closed the door. Soul retracted his hand and smiled at her. Maka looked away and blushed lightly.
"What took you so long?" BlackStar asked.
"C'mon, let's go before we're totally late" BlackStar walked away and the two followed. Maka stayed silent for awhile until Soul noticed it.
"What's wrong? You're acting weird… Are you still sick?" Soul asked.
"N-no… I'm fine now…" Maka smiled at him. They entered Shibusen and their class.
xXxMeanwhilexXx
Kid, Tsubaki, Liz and the others were arranging a few files in Shibusen's guidance office. Patty wasn't there because she had a cold.
"I'll just leave you guys here for awhile…" Professor Justin stood up and went out of the office. Liz yawned when the door closed.
"Man, this is so boring! Can't they pull someone out of class to help us here?" Liz complained as she pointed out the towering paperwork on the table.
"This is our job as the representatives of our school, Liz… Just bear with it" Kid bluntly said as he sorted the papers.
"Aaaw! C'mon Kid! Aren't you worried about me?" Liz whined.
"Aren't you worried about me too?" Kid stopped and looked at her. "We are all doing the same job, Liz. It's surprising that you are the only one complaining…" he said.
"Hmph!" Liz eyed him. Tsubaki sighed. Professor Justin came in.
"I found the teacher in charge of this office and asked him if he could send some students to help you with that…" he smiled at them.
"Yay!" Liz jumped in joy. "thank you, Professor!"
Kid shook his head. Professor Stein came. "Hello students…" he greeted. They greeted back.
"Uum, Professor, I pulled out some students… I trust them enough to not forget their studies…" Professor Stein said as he opened the door for them. "You may come in" Soul, BlackStar and Maka came in. Maka was completely devastated that she was picked with the two. All of the representatives was shocked to see Maka, especially Professor Justin.
"Hmm… Ms. Albarn, huh?" Justin crossed his arms and looked at her. Maka looked at them and saw that it was them. She gulped.
"I take you know her already…" Stein asked. Justin nodded.
"She's one of the students of the school we're representing right now…" he answered.
"Well, Maka here is the top 1 of the 3rd year level…" Stein said. Their mouths hung wide open except for Kid and Tsubaki. "I trust her to not forget her studies…"
"Uum… Then why Soul and BlackStar?" Maka asked.
"I expect you to tutor them.." Stein said. "What?" Maka's eyes widened.
"Hahahah!" BlackStar laughed. Soul can't help but chuckle.
"Why me?" Maka asked. "You three live next door, right?"
"Y-yeah, bu-"
"Ok, I'll leave you now then…." Stein left. Maka's jaw dropped.
"Don't worry, Maka! We'll have a great time!" BlackStar continued to laugh. Soul continued to chuckle. Maka eyed them both then she saw Professor Justin sigh and then he left. She saw Liz and the three, growl. Tsubaki and Kid smiled at her. The three sat down and started to help them with the paper.
"So, Maka.. I can't believe you are the top 1 of your level…" Liz grabbed Kid's arm.
"Yeah.. me too…" Maka sarcastically said.
"Liz, will you stop doing that? We're doing something important here…" Kid glared at Liz. She groaned and let go of his arm.
"So, Maka, how are you feeling now? I hope that fever didn't get the best of you" Tsubaki joked at her. Maka laughed.
"Of course it won't! Maka is following her god's footsteps! " BlackStar pointed at himself. "Which is me by the way" he whispered to Tsubaki. Tsubaki giggled. Maka rolled her eyes.
"So you think he's making a move to Tsubaki?" Soul whispered to Maka.
"I wish he isn't making one…" Maka whispered back. Then they both laughed. Kid looked at them both and sighed. Liz then looked at Kid and shook her head.
"Maka… can I talk to you in private?" Liz stood up. Soul looked at her ID.
"ELIZABETH" it said. "This must be the Liz Maka's talking about…" he thought. They all looked worriedly at Maka who bowed her head.
"Sure… Let's go outside…" Maka stood up and left with Liz. Soul looked at Maka worriedly. She felt that Liz smirk as if she's planning to do something bad. Liz smirked with her plan. She was going to provoke Maka.
"So, what's your plan?" Liz crossed her arms.
"I don't have any plans…" Maka shot at her.
"Liar!" Liz shouted at her. "Who do you think is the liar between us, huh?" Maka asked.
"You're trying to steal him away from me!" Liz tried to provoke her.
"Why would I? He's my ex, you're his girlfriend…. Or are you insecure?" Maka raised her eyebrow.
"You know why, because you're a little dirty cheater!" Liz said.
"Are you sure that I'm the one you're referring to?" Maka eyed her.
"Why you!" Liz tried to hit her. Maka evaded her attack and tried to hit her back.
"Ah!" Liz thought she was going to get hit when Maka stopped her punch in front of her face. She punched Liz lightly on her shoulder. She didn't even exert force. Then she turned her back away from her.
"I know, what you want me to do… You want me to hit you so you could tell Professor Justin what I did to you…" Maka said.
"What a cheap plan…" Maka left her standing there. Maka opened the door and closed it.
"Maka, did something happen?" Tsubaki asked.
"Oh, nothing…" she replied.
"Where's Liz?" Sasha asked.
"Oh, she's there outside… She'll come back…" Maka continued to arrange the paperwork.
"Are you sure? Or did you do something to hurt her?" Samantha eyed her.
"Samantha!" Kid yelled.
"What? She did it before, she can do it again!" Caroline said. Maka bowed her head. She can't believe all of them were ganging up on her again.
"Excuse me, just to let you know… Maka is not that kind of girl you think" Soul said to her. Maka surprisingly looked at him. Kid and Tsubaki looked at him too.
"Yeah! Maka's a kind person and she would never do anything to hurt anyone!" BlackStar followed. "Unless she's provoked" BlackStar glared at the three.
"You shouldn't jump into conclusions like that Caroline, Sasha, Samantha…." Tsubaki said.
"I thought you were all Maka's friends before you became Liz's…" Kid said. They all gulped. Maka couldn't believe they would stand up for her. For a very long time…. Someone stood up for her. And it was Soul and BlackStar. Together with Tsubaki and Kid. Professor Stein then came.
"I'm sorry but I need to pull out the three again, their adviser is pretty furious with me…" he said. Maka, Soul and BlackStar stood up and left with Professor Stein.
"How rude of you…. We are the representatives of our school and you disrespect the students of the school that invited us humbly for their foundation day?" Kid sighed as the three looked at each other.
xXxLater that Day (Dismissal)xXx
The three went home. Maka was silent throughout the whole time. They reached their homes.
"Soul, BlackStar?" Maka called them out.
"Is there something wrong?" Soul asked.
"I… I just wanted to thank you for earlier….." they both looked at Maka who bowed her head down. Then she sniffed.
"H-hold on, M-maka! W-why are you crying?" BlackStar asked.
"I'm sorry, I'm just happy…"
"Is that what you call happy?" Soul asked.
"It's just that… I was a little touched… I never knew someone would stand up for me like that, like the way you did earlier…." Maka smiled weakly. The two looked at each other and approached her. BlackStar wrapped his arms around her neck from her right side and Soul from the left.
"C'mon, Maka! We're your friends! Friends do stuff for each other, right?" BlackStar laughed.
"You got us by your side" Soul patted her in the head.
"You better rest now, princess…" Soul and BlackStar let go of her and went to their house. They waved goodbye to her and Maka did so as well. She went inside her house and into her bedroom she got her cellphone inside of her bag. It suddenly rang. It was Tsubaki.
"Hello? Tsubaki?" she answered.
"Maka, I just wanted to say sorry about earlier… they acted like total jerks…." Tsubaki said.
"You don't need to say sorry…" Maka smiled. "Thanks for saving me" Maka thanked again.
"It's no problem… Again sorry!" Tsubaki replied. Maka sighed.
"You sure like to apologize a lot, huh?" Maka joked. Tsubaki laughed through the phone.
"Well, bye!" Tsubaki hung up. Maka placed her phone down, then it rang again. She saw that it was an unregistered number. She answered it.
"Hello? Maka?" a familiar voice answered the phone.
"Hello? Um, may I know who's speaking?" Maka asked.
"This is Kid… I got your number from Tsubaki and…"
"Oh, Kid! What's up?" Maka sat on her bed.
"I just wanted to say sorry for the three earlier…. I already told Liz what they did and I advised her to talk to them about it…"
"Uum, thanks, but you shouldn't really did that… I'm fine really"
"Maka, you're a friend. What I did was for your sake, don't sweat about it…" Kid said and Maka could feel he was smiling.
"Thanks…" Maka smiled.
"Bye" Maka took the phone down. The phone rang again.
"Urgh.." Maka groaned as she looked at the number. It was Soul's.
"Soul? Is there something wrong?" Maka asked.
"I just wanted to talk to you about something…"
"Yeah.. and what is it?"
"Turn around first…." Maka looked at her window and pushed her curtains aside. It was Soul holding his cellphone up to his ear. Maka sighed and placed her cellphone down. Soul did too.
"Sorry, I couldn't call you… I heard you talking to someone…" Soul said.
"It's ok…. What were you saying?" Maka asked.
"There's something I wanted to ask you…." Soul looked away.
"What is it?"
"I was wondering…. I was wondering if…" Soul blushed. Maka tilted her head sideways. Soul then took a deep breath.
"I was wondering if-!" he was interrupted…. By BlackStar.
"You could go with the dance with him!" he shouted.
"What the hell, BlackStar!" Soul pushed him away as he laughed.
"R-really?" Maka asked.
"Yeah, that was what I was going to say…. Thanks a lot BlackStar" Soul looked at him. Maka blushed.
"That is, if you don't have plans with someone else…" he scratched his head.
"Uh, n-no! I don't have anyone to go with…. I… I" Maka's cheeks turned red.
"I would love to go with you….." Maka looked away.
"Really? You will?" Soul's eyes brightened.
"Didn't I tell already? Yes!" Maka turned even redder. "Yes" Soul whispered in triumph.
"You know, I thought you wouldn't accept my offer at first but…" Maka looked at him.
"Thanks Maka" Soul smiled at her sweetly that made her blush. Maka's heart suddenly beat faster.
"Um, i-is that all?" Maka asked. Soul nodded.
"I'm going to sleep now, then…" Maka pulled her curtains back.
"Goodnight" Soul smiled again. "Goodnight…" Maka fully covered her window and lied down on her bed. She held her chest and felt her heart beat.
"Is this really?"
Sorry, I have no idea what I was writing… Sorry if it was confusing to read… Well, I hoped you like this chapter!
And again, don't stone me to death for making Liz like this. As I said, they'll have a happy ending! And yes... I am an author known for cliffhangers :P
Ok! The dance is a taking a little bit to appear doesn't it? Don't worry, I haven't forgotten about it :)
I've been listening to the Soul Eater Drama CD 02 My Heart Full of Love on Youtube and it made me fangirl in happiness when I read the translations in the description. You should go listen to it if you like SoulXMaka. For Part 5 of that CD you should search for 'InvaderCereal' in the comments for the translation. :) Anyways, that's all.
