Chapter 2: Death City mall
Maka's POV
The birds were chirping and the sun was laughing beautifully this morning. Today is going to be a good day I know it. After all today's the day of the DWMA dance so how could it not be a good day? I yawned and got out of bed.
What time is it?
"Oh my God! We only have eight minutes! How could I have possibly forgotten to set my alarm last night? Not good." I ran to Soul's room not bothering to knock. "Soul! Wake…up He's not in here? Soul! Where are you?"
"Waiting for you to get ready for school." He said coming from the living room.
When I got to the living room I was shocked that he was already ready. "Why didn't you wake me up when you woke up?" I said pointing a finger at him. He crossed his arm and chuckled while looking the other way. "Hmph. That wouldn't have given me the satisfaction of seeing little miss early bird waking up late panicking, now would it?" "Ugh! Soul I don't have time for this!" I let out a screech realizing I was still in my PJ's then I quickly ran into my room and got dressed. When I got out and was heading out the door Soul was still waiting for me.
"You actually waited for me? You don't care that you're going to be late too?"
"Nah. Cool men wait for their meisters." He said calmly but not making eye contact.
"Okay mister "cool" let's go! Or would you like detention?" I said teasing him a little bit. Then we walked out the door with him walking behind me.
Soul's POV
I brought a backpack to school today so I could hide the notebook I took from Professor Stein's desk yesterday. I kept on asking myself "What am I supposed to do with this? Crap. Next time I steal anything I really need to think it over first. Not cool." Then I saw Crona in the hallway shaking eyes shaking from left to right.
Crona seriously needs to chill sometimes.
I walked up to Crona and gave Crona a pat on the back. "Hey, Crona! Can you do me a favor? I'd really appreciate it." I said with my best smile on showing my shark teeth.
"Wh-what kind of f-favor?"
"Can you put this notebook back on Professor Stein's desk for me? It would mean a lot to me if you did." I had a grin on my face now.
"W-why can't you do it?" Crona said trying to avoid eye contact with me.
I thought for a moment. "Because Maka and I are going to the mall afterschool. So I don't have time to put it back. And Professor Stein really wants it back. So how bout it buddy?"
Before Crona got to answer I had a book fly at me and hit in my face and I fell on the ground.
"Ow! What the hell?" When I was trying to get back I saw Maka in front of me with hands on her hips giving me a serious look.
"Don't bully Crona, Soul. Maka…Chop!" She gave me a hard Maka chop.
"Ow! Maka that really hurt!" I said rubbing my head having blood on my hand. "And I wasn't bullying Crona, I was simply asking for a favor."
"Oh really now? Hey wait a minute.. That's Tsubaki's notebook. Why do you have it Soul?" She was eyeing me suspiciously.
Crap. "I-uh found it." I said without thinking.
"You didn't go through it right?"
"No ma'am!" I said with one hand on my chest and the other slightly in the air. I hated lying to Maka but I had to just this one time.
"Okay good. Well let's go to class now Soul."
"Eh okay." Still massaging my head from where she Maka chopped me.
Maka turned around really quick to look back at Crona. "Oh! Crona, don't worry Soul won't be bothering you anymore. Right Soul?" She said threatening me with another Maka chop. I gave her a frightening look "Yeah, don't worry!" Then we headed to class.
As soon as we got to class I tried to secretly put the notebook back where it originally was on Professor Stein's desk. That would have been a great plan if he didn't catch me in the middle of doing it.
"So Soul, why'd you take the notebook and expect me not to notice it was you?" He said while winding the screw on in his head.
"Because-"
"I don't need an explanation thank you very much. You have detention afterschool, congratulations. Now sit back down or I'll dissect you."
I ran to my seat. As I sat down Maka gave me a dirty look, practically saying "Why did you lie to me and tell me now." I gulped.
"Listen Maka, I can explain."
"Then go ahead, I'm listening." She said not even bothering to look at me in the face, instead concentrated on her book.
"The reason I stole the notebook then lied to you saying that I found it is because-"
"Soul! Stop talking while I'm trying to teach." Professor Stein said while throwing a knife at my head barely missing me.
I whispered really low "Maka let's go to the mall after school like you said last night. Okay?" She just nodded still concentrating on her book not even bothered to look at me.
Maka's POV
Man why is Soul always asking for trouble? I mean first he lies to me and now he already knows that I love him because he read that stupid notebook. And here I am waiting on a bench for him to get out of detention, slightly bending over with my hands on the side of my face and looking at the ground. He probably doesn't even feel the same way I feel; to him I'm probably just his meister and nothing more.
"Waiting for Soul huh?" Kim said taking a seat next to me.
I sighed. "Uh-huh. I was just thinking about something."
"Like what? Unless you don't want me to know.
"Well.. Nothing actually. It's stupid. So are you going to the dance with Ox tonight?"
"Nah. Ox wants to go and catch a movie with me then go to some restaurant I don't even know the name of but it's supposed to be nice. He's a sweet guy after all." She chuckled.
"Oh. Well that's good. Soul and I are going to the dance. We're going to have a get together with Kid, Liz, Patty, Blackstar and Tsubaki."
"Speaking of Soul do you like him? Because I see the way you act around him sometimes. You guys should totally go out!" She said cheerfully with a smile.
"Me? With Soul? I-"
"Hey Maka come on let's go!" Soul said behind me. My heart skipped a beat. How long has he been there? "Okay well thank you later Kim!" I said with a joyful smile and waved then left with Soul. I wonder if he feels the same way as I do? He probably doesn't.
Soul's POV
"Okay here we are. So did you want to go look for your dress first?"
"Sure. I'll try not to take too long. Just so you know." She said with a slight smile.
"Alright. Well I'm going to look around for my tuxedo. I'll be back soon."
Today is going to be the day I ask Maka to be mine. I've waited for this opportunity for way too long. First I need to go buy her a locked and then have it engraved. After that I need to go order a bouquet of her favorite flowers and have it delivered at the DWMA and lastly I need to buy her a giant teddy bear, because girls seem to love that kind of stuff. I don't know why, it's only a teddy bear after all.
"Welcome! How may I help you young man?" A tall man said with a smile he had dark purple hair and looked like to be around in his early forty's, he was wearing a green shirt and blue pants and some sandals.
"I'm looking for a most commonly bought locket for girls."
"Okie-Dokie! Is it for your little girlfriend, hmm? Well here we go. Its seventy five dollars. And if you buy the warranty the engraving is free."
It was a silver shaped heart with a flower pattern on the front and had a bow in the center and on top of the bow was a pearl. "This looks cool enough. Thanks, I'll take it. I'll also buy the warranty for it." I handed him a piece of paper. "On this paper is what I want to have engraved inside the locket." "Okie-Dokie! The locket should be ready in ten minutes sharp."
In the meantime I went to get the bear and asked to lady that I was buying the bouquet of flowers from to deliver this bear along with the bouquet of flowers. When I went to go pick up the locket I put it in a white and pink box.
"Okay now time to find my tuxedo."
Since I didn't have much time left I went to the first store I saw and bought a white and black tuxedo. Now I have to go find Maka.
Maka's POV
I wonder what Soul is doing. He seemed like he was hiding something. Oh well, I guess I'm just being paranoid. I found this really nice dress, it was strapless, the top half was white and the middle has a baby pink stripe going around my waist, and the bottom half was black and had ruffles, it ending right above my knees. As I left the store I saw Soul walking towards me with a bag that had his tuxedo in it.
"Oh there you are Soul. You ready to head home?"
"Not yet. Do you want to get some milkshakes? My treat." He smiled with his white shark teeth while pointing to the nearest ice cream shop in the mall. "Sure. While you're ordering I'm going to sit down. You already know my favorite flavor."
When he came back he had only one milkshake in his hand and two straws. "They could only serve one more of this flavor before they ran out so I'd figure that we might as well share it." He inserted the two straws into the milkshake. All of the sudden I felt my cheeks go red and I got the thought of this is the kind of things only couples do. Oh Soul you really can be sweet and thoughtful when you want to be. When we both finished we headed back to the apartment.
"We should probably start to get ready Soul."
"But Maka.." He said with a sad expression while staring at the floor.
"What?"
"I'm hungry…"
I sighed and placed on hand on my head. "I'll make you something really quick I guess." "Thanks you're the best Maka." He smiled.
If he already knows that I love him then why hasn't he showed any attention towards me? I'm sure that milkshake incident was just a coincident. He probably doesn't even like me or think about me other than a partner. Who was I kidding? Expecting him to instantly be in love with me to confess his true feelings towards me. I'm nothing but a book worm. Maka the flat chest know it all book worm. I sighed and went to go make him a sandwich.
