Author's Note: Usually I handwrite the chapter and then type it because I feel that I get more ideas that way. But this time I wanted to just type it first. I hope you like this chapter. Again sorry if I make any typos, I've done that for the last two chapters and it kind of irritates me because they're simple ones. But anyways, enjoy!

Maka's POV
I was almost ready for the dance I looked at myself in the mirror. I had my hair down, I put on a little bit of mascara and eyeliner but not too much. I was wearing the dress that I bought earlier at the mall, along with some black ballet flats with a black bow on them. I also was wearing a charm bracelet my momma mailed to me for my fourteenth birthday. I only wear it for special occasions or when I needed some luck, and today I needed both of those things. As I sprayed some light flower scent perfume I went to the living room where Soul was waiting for me. He was in a black and white tuxedo.
Wow, Soul should wear tuxedos more often. He looks super hot in them. "Alright Soul let's go." When he saw me I could see that he was really shocked by my appearance, because his eyes were open wide. "Whoa. Maka you look super good!" Soul said with a grin. I couldn't help but blush as he said those words; I mean he never compliments me. "Thanks, you look good too Soul." I said with shy words while staring at the ground, giving him a cute simple smile. Soul then grabbed my hand and kissed it. "Shall we go my lady?" I couldn't help but laugh. I knew he had to be teasing me. "Oh please, stop goofing around Soul." Then I walked off; Soul was by my side walking with me with a goofy grin on his face.
We were inside the gym where the dance was at. They decorated it really nice, it was beautiful. The theme of the dance was "A starry night" so the lights were off and there were tiny lights everywhere. It was truly gorgeous. And the music they were blasting was totally hot, a lot of people were on the dance floor. Some of them dancing with their friends in a group, and some were grinding with others. Which is kind of weird for the people that are grinding because this is a formal dance, but whatever. I was trying to get distracted so the butterflies in my stomach would go away. I started to feel dizzy in this room; it felt like it was getting hot with so many people here. Where are Kid and the others? I finally spotted them near the snack table just standing there waiting for Soul and I. But of course Blackstar and Patty were already diving into the food. I tried my best to get it together and walked over there to be with the others while having Soul by my side.
"Hey Maka, you look great!" Liz and Tsubaki said with a comforting smile.
"Thanks guys, you too! I love your dresses! Mines all plain and simple. I feel kind of weird in it." I chuckled. Tsubaki was wearing a white dress that showed off her curves nicely, it was white on the top half and it had white rhinestones in a nice pattern and the bottom flowed nicely to the bottom in a tutu cloth, the dress ended at her knees. Liz's dress had a magenta color and had one shoulder strap, it also was quite tight on her body and it had black cheetah prints all over the dress, and it ended above her knee.
"Well don't be. Because you look good in it Maka." I turned around to see that Blackstar was the one that said that, he gave me a friendly thumbs up.
"Hey Blackstar I haven't heard from you in a while, are you still sick?"
"Sick? Haha! Don't make me laugh Maka! A man as big as I am doesn't get sick."
"Actually, he had food poising. I may have used some expired milk while cooking us some chowder…" Tsubaki said with a guilty look and a giggle.
"Figured. Even a man that's supposed to "surpass God" gets sick." Soul said.
The song wide awake by Katy Perry came on
"Oh my God! Come on guys lets go get on the dance floor! This is my song! Come on come on come on let's go!" Patty said jumping and laughing with excitement then ran to the dance floor. So all of us followed Patty on to the dance floor. I don't really dance, so I was just moving my trying to hips. But Liz, Patty, Kid, Soul, Blackstar and Tsubaki could actually dance. I felt like a fool trying desperately to dance like them. Liz was moving perfectly with the song.
"Hey Maka you know how to grind right?" Liz said noticing that I was eyeing her dance moves.
"Uh- not exactly. Dancing isn't really my thing. And this is a formal dance so wouldn't it be weird?" I said sort of shyly.
"Oh it doesn't matter. Just watch me, I'll show you how to grind." She then went over to Kid and started to grind on him. She made it look like it was the easiest thing in the world. Kid was also doing it so naturally, following Liz's movements. Liz was just basically rubbing her butt against his crouch. "Now you try, go get Soul to dance with you." She said making me move towards Soul.
I can't do this. Especially not with Soul. It's just not something I would do. But after all, he IS my date, and some other people are doing it as well. I might as well try it.
I got in front of Soul and started doing the same movements Liz was doing on Kid. I couldn't tell if I was doing it correctly or not but I apparently was doing it correctly because Liz gave me a thumbs up and winked. When Soul placed his hands on my hips I gulped and blushed as red a rose and could feel my heart pounding. The butterflies in my stomach were going insane, but I didn't care. All I cared about was that Soul and I were dancing, and he's enjoying it as much as I am. When I was really getting into it the song ended, I felt sad because that was amazing. It gave me such a thrill, I quickly wanted more. After that we danced to three more songs, but I didn't grind with Soul anymore. Instead I was just dancing with Tsubaki and Liz.
"Phew! I need to sit down for a bit. Do you guys want to go outside to get some fresh air?" I said catching my breath. Everyone agreed, and left the gym to go outside.
Soul's POV
The way Maka was dancing on me on the dance floor was incredible. I couldn't believe she could dance like that, especially with me. It was definitely cool. The breeze of the outside air felt nice on my skin. I was kind of nervous tonight, considering that I'm going to confess to Maka how I truly feel and ask her to be mine. I've already told Kid and Blackstar what my plans are for later, Blackstar is supporting me but he threatened me if I backed out that he would cut my throat out using his soul wavelength. But when I told Kid what my plans were for tonight he was also cheering me on, but not as much as Blackstar was.
I looked over my shoulder to look at Maka. God she is just so damn beautiful. Her with her hair down, absolutely cute. I can't wait for her to be mi-
"Soul, what's wrong?" Maka said snapping me into reality.
Oh crap. I can't believe she caught me checking her out, totally not cool. I need to think of something smooth to say! "Oh nothing, just admiring the view I guess." She gave me a slight shock reaction realizing that she was the view. Her cheeks turned red then she turned her head to look away. She's just too adorable when she's embarrassed.
Blackstar then pulled me over to where he was. "Hey Mr. Flirt, when are you going to ask Maka?"
"Soon. I'm just waiting for the perfect time, when the moment feels right." I said calmly.
"Well you better hurry up and have this "moment" before the dance ends. Remember what happens to you if you back out man. You've already come this far, just go for it."
"Blackstar I'm not like you, I don't rush into things. So don't worry about when I'm going to ask her. It's definitely going to be tonight so don't worry. I've waited for this opportunity for too long, and I'm not going to screw it up by asking her at the wrong time. It just wouldn't be cool."
"Hey what are you guys talking about?" Liz said walking over and joining in on our conversation.
"You'll see later Liz." Blackstar said, shooing her away with his hand.
Liz suddenly got very offended. "How dare you! I am NOT an animal! You cannot "shoo" me away like I'm some kind of dog! You obnoxious jerk!" She said yelling at him. She then punched him so hard that even Blackstar was surprised she could hit that hard. I was just standing there laughing to myself as I watched Blackstar cry out in pain holding his arm where Liz punched him.
"The fresh air is cool and all but I'm getting hungry! Come on guys lets go get some grub!" Patty said laughing with her loud voice, addressing everyone in the group to follow her.
Maka's POV
When we all got our food we found a table near the gym to go sit and eat. I got a slice of pizza, Soul got nachos, Liz got a salad, Tsubaki got a hotdog, Patty got some ice cream and Kid got a can of soda. We could hear the music coming from the gym, the DJ is starting to play a few slow songs, but mostly fast songs for now. I really hope Soul asks me to dance a slow song with him, that would be heavenly. When I went to grab a napkin that was right next to me, I accidentally placed my hand on top of Soul's, he was grabbing a napkin at the same time I was.
I stopped breathing for like two seconds. "S-Sorry Soul." Why did I just stutter? I never stutter! I'm such an idiot! "It's fine Maka." He then coolly handed me a napkin. I almost forgot that I needed a napkin in the first place. "Thanks." I said taking the napkin trying not to show that my hands were a little shaky. After that I quickly finished my pizza and everyone around me was around finished with their food.
"Hey Maka, you want to go share an ice cream? Sorry I haven't really been acting like a "date" today." Soul said with a disappointed look.
"It's fine Soul. And sure!" I said excitedly getting up and grabbing his arm to go to the snack center where the ice creams were already prepared for us. I grabbed a half strawberry half vanilla ice cream and two spoons then quickly went back to our table, while still grabbing Soul's arm.
When we sat down we started to eat the ice cream. We didn't do anything romantic, but it looked like Soul wanted to. Once we finished all of us went back to the gym and started to dance again. We were dancing to the song Payphone by Maroon 5. It was getting really fun, until Sid walked into the gym and told the DJ to turn off the music. Sid had a microphone with him.
"Hello DWMA students! How are you guys doing tonight? If you're having fun let me hear you scream!" Everyone in the room started to scream with excitement. "That's the spirit! Now as you all know, every dance that we have we have a karaoke competition. It will be short competition so don't worry. This is a friendly competition, so there will be no prize. Also we will decide the winner with the amount of enthusiasm the audience has for the singer. First of all we need three volunteers that want to come up here and sing!" Sid said enthusiastically. Kim was the first person that wanted to volunteer. Then it was some student with long black hair with straight across bangs, and her dress was zebra print. I somehow got the courage to walk up to the stage and volunteered as well. It just seemed like it would be fun, and Soul knows I sing in the shower and he says that I sing pretty well.
Kim was going up first, her song is Domino by Jessie J. Rock my world into the sunlight; make this dream the best I've ever known. Dirty dancing in the moonlight, take me down like I'm a domino. Her song quickly ended, Kim was alright but she wasn't great. The amount of enthusiasm was low. Now it was the girl with the zebra print dress's turn. Everyone knows that she's obsessed with One Direction, so she decided to sing their song called "One thing." Some things gotta get loud. Cause if not, they just don't make you see. That I need you here with me now, cause you've got that one thing. So get out get out get out of my head! And fall in to my arms instead. I don't, I don't, don't know what it is. But I need that one thing, and you've got that one thing. When her song ended the crowd her cheering her on, because she has an amazing voice surprisingly. Now it was my turn, I was kind of nervous, considering that I've never sung in front of these many people before. I gulped and took the microphone and told the DJ to put on the song Smile by Avril Lavigne.
Yo-u said "Hey, what's your name?" It took one look and now we're not the same. Yeah you said "Hey." And since that day, you stole my heart, and you're the one to blame. (Yeah) and that's why I smile. It's been a while since everyday and everything has felt this right. And now you turn it all around and suddenly you're all I need. The reason why I-I-I-I smile. Once I finished the song the crowd was going crazy! I didn't actually think they could have liked my singing, but apparently I did a good job. I then bowed and left the stage.
"Okay, okay. I think we have our winner! Congratulations Maka!" Sid said. Then the DJ turned the music back on and the dance went on. "Alright go Maka!" Patty yelled happily while giggling. I went other where they were at. "Hey Maka you want to go dance?" Soul asked. "Sure! Let's go Soul!" I said pulling his arm towards the dance floor. When we got at the dance floor a slow song came on.
I leaned onto Soul and wrapped my arms around the back of his neck and he rested his hands on my hips. "Tonight sure has been a long night huh?" I whispered into Souls ear. "Yeah, sure has. Hey after this I need to go ask you something." Soul said smoothly. I could have sworn my heart stopped beating when he said those words. Was he finally going to ask me out? Once the song ended Soul looked at his phone for the time and said that he needed to go to the bathroom and that he will be right back. As I was heading back to where my friends were at, Kid was walking towards me.
"Hey Maka, care to dance with me?" Kid asked like a gentlemen.
"Um okay." I said.
He led me to the dance floor over where Soul and I were dancing. Another slow song came on so I went to the same position like I was dancing with Soul earlier. "Maka you look pretty damn sexy tonight." Kid said whispering into my ear. I felt his hands start to get lower. I quickly put his hands back to my hips. "What's gotten into you Kid?" I said starting to get mad. "Don't ever do that to me again. Do you hear me?" I said. "Okay, but only if I get to do this." He then leaned in and kissed me! I automatically knew that some idiot spiced up his soda because his breath definitely smelled like alcohol. That kiss lasted for about five seconds, when I was trying to pull away I heard a gasp near the door. I finally pulled away from the kiss.
I realized that the person that gasped was Soul because I saw him at the last second when he ran out of the gym. I tried my best to chase him, but I don't know where he went. Ugh! I'm going to need Blackstar and Tsubaki to help me find him.
Soul's POV
As I was entering the gym with a big smile on my face, I was finally going to get the girl of my dreams! I have never been so happy in my life! I felt like I could take on the world tonight! I was carrying the giant teddy bear with the bouquet of flowers, and the locket in my pocket for Maka. As I was looking around for her, I stopped and wiped my eyes to see if I was seeing it correctly, I then gasped and saw her kissing Kid! I felt like I was dreaming. This had to be a dream. I felt the tears start to build up. I couldn't be seen like this. I ran outside and fast as I could before I could be seen. How could I be such an idiot? Why would she even kiss him? And why would Kid do this to me! I told him everything that was going to happen tonight, and he stabs me in the back! What the hell! Ugh. I ran to the closest parking lot and then sat down with my back against the wall of a building.
This feeling, I can't describe it…It's like my heart has been torn in two and spit on. Like it's sinking in my chest. How do I manage the pain? This had to be the worst night of my life. Having my best friend steal the girl of my dreams. Maybe Blackstar was right, I should have told her earlier. I started to shake, then had my knees up against my chest and hid my face. I started to cry like never before. When I thought that this possibly couldn't have gotten any worse, it started to rain. So uncool.
