"Maka, BlackStar. You can go ahead of me, there's something I need to take care of…" Soul smiled at both of them.
"Which is?" Maka asked.
"You'll know…" he gathered all of his things and went out. "Bye!" he said as he closed the door. BlackStar shoved his hands in his pockets.
"Let's go!" Maka nodded and went out. As soon as they were about to leave the gate, Maka remembered that she forgot something from her desk.
"Oh!" Maka held BlackStar's arm. "What's wrong?" he asked.
"I forgot something!" Maka said. "You're kidding me, right?" he asked again.
"I'm not! I'll be right back! Stay here!" Maka ran back inside of the school. BlackStar just leaned and crossed his arms. Maka went inside her classroom which was still open, and went to the drawer of her desk. She got her keys to her house.
"Phew! I thought I'd forget again! Good thing I double checked…. Jeez, all the things Soul has been predicting were coming true…." Maka sighed and went down again. She passed by at the wall where the bulletin board was hung up. When she passed at that wall completely she saw the accounting office. To her surprise she saw Soul talking to a girl with violet hair. She wore cat ear headband and civilian clothes. When she saw the two she quickly hid back at the wall. She peeked at them and saw them laughing. Maka felt something. Was it….. jealousy? She leaned at the wall. She closed her eyes and looked at them again. They were still laughing and talking to each other. Maka ran quickly to the gate so that the two won't notice her.
"What took you so long?" BlackStar placed his hands on hips. Maka bowed, still deep in thought about the two.
"H-hey, is something the matter?" he held her shoulder as he tried to look at her face. Maka then snapped back.
"O-oh! Nothing! Let's go!" Maka smiled at him. BlackStar sighed in disbelief but still agreed to her. They went home. BlackStar noticed that she was silent throughout the whole travel. Normally she would ask him how his math been doing. They both arrived home, Maka still deep in thought.
"Hey, Maka…" BlackStar called her attention. "Yeah?"
"You can tell me if something's wrong, ok?" he smiled. "Sure" Maka smiled back and went inside her house.
"Hi mom…" Maka greeted Kami unenthusiastically.
"Oh no, Maka, you shouldn't carry out that kind of attitude, especially when you have a guest…" Kami looked at her.
"Yeah, yeah…." Maka lazily stepped at the staircase one by one. Kami smiled.
"Kid's in the living room!" Kami called out to her.
"What! ?" Maka looked at her in the middle of the staircase. "No way!"
"Yes way…" Kami continued to wash the dishes.
"Urgh…." Maka groaned. She went down stairs and went to the living room. There she saw Kid sitting at their sofa quietly reading a book.
"Hey…" she greeted.
"Oh, good afternoon Maka" Kid prepared to stand up.
"Um, no no! You don't need to stand up!" Maka stopped him and sat across him.
"Uh, so, what brings you here?" Maka asked.
"Tsubaki couldn't come, she was in charge of fixing our things in the boarding house. Just to let you know, we're leaving by Friday…" Kid said.
"Oh, really? I'll make sure I'll be there when you leave! When and what time is it?" Maka asked.
"We'll be taking the bus at 5:30"
"Great! School ends by 3! I should be able to get there! I'll bring some of the others to!" Maka smiled. After a while the two felt silent.
"Ok, what should we talk about now?" Maka thought.
"uuum, during the dance, what did you and Soul talk about?" Maka asked.
"I'm sure you know that already" Kid said. "Oookaaay…"
"So, did Soul already talk to you?" Kid asked. "What?" Maka then suddenly remembered earlier.
"Y-yeah, he does talk to me all the time" Maka said.
"You should say yes to him" Kid looked at her.
"Yes for what?" Maka laughed.
"He did confess his love to you, right?" Kid eyed her. Maka laughed. She thought it was one of his jokes.
"Hahahaha! That's a good one!" Maka closed her eyes in laughing. "Of course not! Why would he? I mean, he doesn't even love me!" Maka laughed as he continued to stare at her. Maka's laugh trailed off.
"Kid, why are you staring at me weirdly?" she asked. Kid sighed. "It's true…" he said. Maka tried not to laugh, but she was feeling uneasy about it.
"Do you want to know about what we talked about during the dance?" Kid asked. Maka looked at him.
"We talked about you… He said that he liked you ever since he met you…" Kid said. Maka eyed him in disbelief.
"Even if he said that… those were only words…. And how could I trust you?" Maka crossed her arms.
"C'mon, Maka, do I look like a guy who would lie?" Kid asked. Maka raised her eyebrow. Kid sighed.
"Ok, I screwed up… You should ask him… see for yourself… You love him too, don't you?"
Maka bowed her head. "Even if I did… he wouldn't… I already saw him talking to a girl and they completely seem to like each other…."
"So… if you saw a girl and a boy talking to each other, it would only mean they're a couple?" Kid asked.
"Yes… I think…" Maka looked away.
"So, if you saw Tsubaki and BlackStar talking to each other, that would mean they're a couple?" he asked again.
"Yes…" Maka's eyes widened. "I mean NO!" Maka hurriedly said. "Damn it, Kid! What's your point already?" Maka asked completely annoyed and frustrated.
"My point is that just because they were talking to each other, doesn't mean they're already in love with each other….. Maka, it's time for you to trust other people…. Just talk to him…" Kid smiled at her. Maka looked at him and breathed heavily. "Ok…." Maka weakly said. The room was filled with silence again. Kid stood up.
"Well, I better leave… the others are already packing…." Kid said.
"You know you should forgive Liz too…. You can't heal completely if you can't forgive" Maka smiled at him as they went to the door.
"I know" Kid went out together with Maka.
"Maka?"
"Yeah?" Kid hugged her tight. Maka hugged her back. Kid broke the hug and kissed her forehead. Which surprised Maka.
"We'll keep in touch, won't we?" Kid asked. "Of course!" she replied and waved goodbye to her. She got back in and went to her bedroom. She pulled the curtains to see if Soul was already there, instead, she saw BlackStar.
"Hey, is Soul there?" Maka asked him.
"Not yet… Why? You looking for him?" BlackStar raised his eyebrows repeatedly. Maka groaned.
"Can I talk to you?" Maka asked.
"Sure what's up?" he asked.
"It's about Soul… I-I..." Maka blushed and stuttered.
"Hahahaha! You like him don't you? I knew it! I was right all along!" BlackStar laughed in triumph. Maka's mouth hung up wide open.
"Ok, fine! You got me! Stop yelling that already!" Maka turned red. He shut up but his grin didn't leave his face.
"Dude, you should tell him already!" BlackStar said. "What do you know about love?" Maka pouted.
"Well, you're telling me about Soul right? And I have been love at first sight…" he twirled his fingers.
"With who?"
"uummm…. Tsubaki?" he let out a goofy grin. Maka reached out a book and prepared to throw it at him.
"Whoa, whoa, whoa! This is the reason I didn't want to tell you!" BlackStar blocked with his hands. Maka sighed as she placed her book down.
"It's fine… Just as long as your intentions are good!" Maka said. BlackStar sighed in relief.
"So, back to the subject….. You should tell him…. Or you'll only end up blaming yourself when he's gone!" BlackStar crossed his arms and closed his eyes.
"Do you… think…. He loves me back?" Maka asked. BlackStar looked at her.
"Man, she's so oblivious!" he can't help but think. But he didn't want to spoil everything. He didn't want to tell Maka, he wanted Soul to tell her straight.
"You should…. Find that out yourself…" he smiled. Maka threw the book at BlackSTar.
"Ow! What was that for?" BlackStar held his nose in pain.
"You all say the same thing!" Maka shouted at him.
"Well, you'll never know what will happen if you don't do something" he grinned. He was totally proud of his speech. Maka thought about it for awhile and looked at him.
"Thanks for the help, BlackStar…" she smiled as she closed her curtain. BlackStar raised his thumbs up. Maka changed her clothes and left her house she walked by the sidewalk beside the river and tried to think about what the two guys said. She sighed and scratched her head in confusion. Then she saw a familiar girl crying and sitting on the bench. She knew that brown long hair. Maka approached her.
"Liz?" she asked. Liz looked at her and wiped her tears quickly.
"What are you doing here?" she asked.
"I'm supposed to ask that. What's wrong?" Maka never saw her like this.
"I'm sure you know already…" Liz pouted and sniffed. She looked away trying to avoid eye contact. Maka sat next to her.
"What are you doing?" Liz glanced at Maka.
"Sitting next to you…"
"You don't have to feel pity for me…. I'm your enemy remember?" Liz said.
"You know…. Even though we were enemies…. We could still be friends….." Maka smiled at her. She was ready to forgive Liz. Liz looked at her in disbelief.
"Where are the others?" Maka asked.
"Helping Tsubaki…. The other teachers didn't allow me to help…." Liz said. Maka sighed. Silence filled their area. It was awkward for Maka, knowing Liz stole her ex boyfriend and her breaking almost her whole arm but somehow she felt relieved that, that time, they weren't arguing.
"You know…" Liz started. Maka looked at her.
"All the students look at me differently now….. My friends are distant… and Patty is the only one by my side…. My boyfriend broke up with me…. I guess I really know how you felt that time…" Liz broke down in front of her. "I guess karma already got me…."
"I only cheated so that I could get the highest grades possible…. As high expectations as my and Patty's parents… We were just adopted but we were adopted by those kinds of people…. Abusive… Always expecting you to be like them…" Liz confessed which made Maka surprised.
"I didn't want to disappoint them…. Let alone abandon us…." She wiped her tears off. "I guess I got a little selfish… now I realized all the bad things I have done to everyone around me…."
"Maka, I'm so sorry!" Liz hugged her. Maka hugged her back. "I forgive you…" Maka smiled. Liz broke their hug and wiped her tears again.
"I should've had done this a long time…. Can we still be… friends?" Liz asked.
"Of course!" Maka smiled at her. Liz smiled back at her.
"I'm really sorry to bother you…." Liz said. "It's ok… I have nowhere to go anyway…." Maka replied.
"You sure?" Liz clarified her. Maka thought about it for a while. Then she thought about the place.
"On second thought….. Yeah, I have…." Maka stood up. "I better go now" Liz smiled and waved at her goodbye. Maka ran to the abandoned playground where Soul brought her. She looked everywhere for the entrance. She ran to it and went to the green place. She sat and embraced herself as the wind blew hard on her whole body. She sighed.
"What to do now?" Maka asked herself as she closed her eyes. Her problem with Liz was solved. Now with Soul.
"Maka…."
Mmmmph! Yay! Liz and Maka are now friends! And I just had to say this... Kid and Black Star FTW! :D
