"Hey, Angel. I see you brought Soul." Kid said as he greeted us at the door.
"Yep, and Maka should be here sometime soon." I told him. We went inside and made ourselves comfortable.
"Where are Liz and Patty?" Soul asked Kid.
"Shopping."
I sprang up from my seat. "That reminds me," I paused, reached into my pocket, retrieved my wallet, and gave Kid some money, "give this to Liz for her nail-polish."
Kid nodded his head and took it. I could tell Soul was confused, but he said nothing. I sat back down and stared at the clock, but paid no mind to the time. All of a sudden, something in my brain clicked.
"Kid!" I shouted. The sudden noise made both of them jump.
"What, what?" kid asked, somewhat panicked.
"I had a dream last night. We were all in class and Stein was droning on and on about dissection as usual. And then, there was a knock at the door. I didn't seem to care who it was until Stein said my name. I looked up and there was some random girl coming up towards us. She had midnight-purple hair and electric blue eyes and she sat down next to me. She tapped my shoulder and said, 'Hi, my name is Sil,' I couldn't hear anything after that, but I know there was more to her name. I nodded my head at her. She and I kept talking but I couldn't hear anything again, not even from Stein. There was this buzzing noise and I woke up." I told him.
"So?" Kid asked me, wanting a point for my sudden outburst. I sighed.
"So, I was wondering if you knew of any student with a name beginning with 'Sil', because I think she's real. And that I'm supposed to know her, that she may be my partner. Call me crazy but, I have this funny feeling about it."
"Well, no. But there is a new student coming to the school next week named Silara. That might be her."
"So, you believe me?"
"Yes, I do."
I smiled. "Soul, I might have a partner!" I said excitedly. He smiled back at me.
"That's awesome, Red." Soul said and slapped me a high-five. Just then, Maka ran through the door.
"Sorry, I'm late." Maka told us guiltily. I smiled and told her it was no big deal. A smile still lingered on my face.
"Why are you so happy?" Maka asked me.
"I think I may have found my partner…"
"Great! Well, what's their name?"
"Oh, trust me, Maka, I know damn well that you don't know her."
"Okay, well, I can't wait to meet her."
I sighed quietly. What if she wasn't supposed to be my partner? What then? I decided to just put the thought out of reach for a while. After a long time of nothing, I stood up.
"I'm incredibly bored. Let's do something fun." I said.
"Like what?" Kid asked me, an eyebrow raised.
"I dunno. Any suggestions?" I said, looking to everyone. Maka's eyes brightened a little.
"We could write poems." she suggested hopefully. Soul laughed for some reason.
"What, are you emo?" he asked jokingly. I punched him and out of the corner of my eye, I saw Kid smile slightly.
"If writing poems is emo then consider me the most emo person in the world." I told him bitterly. It's true though. I write poems a lot, especially when something's bothering me. I literally have a bunch of boxes full of old poems. Soul rolled his eyes and rubbed his arm. Maka smiled at me.
"Maka and I can go write some poems and you guys can do something less emo." I told the boys as Maka and I walked out of the room. We found some paper and pencils and walked into a random room. The room was painted red and had a small table on each side of the room. In the middle of the room was a black rug with Lord Death's mask printed on it. Seemed like a nice place for us to write some poetry. We each sat down at a table and wrote.
After I used up all but one of my papers I stopped. I looked over and Maka was finishing her last line on her last paper. She looked up to me and smiled again.
"This is fun, Angel." she told me. I smiled back.
"It is…" I replied. Maka moved her chair next to me.
"So, do you like the academy so far?"
"Yeah, it's nice." I smiled at the thought of the room I found the other day.
"What do you think of everyone?" she asked me thoughtfully. My smiled faded. I didn't really know what to say.
"Black Star… he's really annoying, so I'm not his biggest fan, he's already filled that position himself," I smiled again and Maka laughed "Tsubaki is super nice. In all honesty, a bit too nice. But, she's a good friend. Liz, she's… well, I don't really know about her yet. Her sister, Patty, is hilarious. Definitely not the smartest person, but nice." I paused, realizing who all was left; Kid, Soul, and the person sitting next to me, Maka.
"Kid, well, he's nice…" I trailed off, not knowing what more to say about him.
"Soul, uh, he's, um… cool…"
Maka smiled again. "Do you like Soul, Angel?"
I was very surprised. Why would she think that? "No! Definitely not!" I told her. Her smile widened.
"Well, you know how Blair always says you're his girlfriend?" she asked me secretively. I rolled my eyes at the thought.
"Yeah, and?"
"Well, I know something about why Blair still says that."
I was almost scared to hear what it was, but I asked anyway.
"Because, Soul always talks about you."
My face reddened a bit. "He does not, Maka."
"He does. He says-" she was cut off by, none other than, Soul himself.
"What are you girls doing?" he asked suspiciously. I blushed.
"Nothing." I said quickly and left the room, leaving my poems behind.
