She sat down next to Tsubaki settling her books down on the desk in front of her. She smiled at Tsubaki while getting her pencil and notebook out, ready to take notes. Even if it was only the second week of school, she was determined to learn as much as possible and prepare as much as she could. The EAT class entrance exams were next week and even though she didn't have a weapon yet, she would get into the EAT class, fight evil, and be a great meister like her mama. She would make her mama and herself proud, no matter the cost.

Their instructor Sid-Sensei entered the classroom making everybody quiet down and perk up. "Class, as you all know there will be an entrance exam to the EAT class next week," The teacher declared while writing the date of the exam on the board. "The exam will not only test your academic efficiency but mainly your battle skills and your potential to become better. For those of you who have partners, you will need to be able to work together and trust each other in order to be in sync with one another and be able to defeat the many challenges presented by corrupted souls, or kishin eggs. If you are not able to synchronize with your partner, you will be defeated at the time of danger, which can result in very severe consequences," he said this in a more serious tone and a stern look on his face. "For those of you who do not have a partner, you will still be required to complete the combat course thoroughly and meet the standards set to qualify for entrance."

Soul yawned as the professor continued talking about the dangers of a corrupted soul. He's eyelids start to feel heavy and his head starts to drop as Sid-Sensei keeps droning on. He's about half asleep when he hears the door burst open followed by a maniac laugh and proclamations about 'god' and 'greatness' loud enough to almost bust his eardrums. To say the least, arousing him from his drowsy state and catching the attention of everybody in the room.

The scene lasted about five seconds before a book went flying straight to the loudmouth's face knocking him down to the floor. Body sprawled faced down, a few droplets of blood coating the surface of the wooden floor and he sure did look like an annoying blue fly swatted on the wall by, in this case, a book. Soul turned his gaze to the direction the book had come from and his eyes landed on a pig-tailed ashy-blond girl sitting next to a frantic looking girl with dark long hair up in a pony tail.

He supposed he shouldn't be all that surprised considering she did look about his age and he had meet her here in Shibusen afterall. Although he wasn't sure if he was more surprised to see her here, because he really hadn't expected to, or the fact that someone as little and frail looking as her knocked someone as energetic as the blue fly seemed to be, right to unconsciousness. Maybe she, or Maka as he recalled, was just one of those people who were full of surprises. Then again it might just be because this is Death City, a place for strange people, and he still hadn't gotten the gist of things around here yet. His mind certainly has been more out of it then usual. He snapped out of his train of thought when he saw the blue-haired guy pass his line of vision, clumsily trudging up the stairs and sat down, in a very ungraceful manner, next to the black haired companion of Maka.

By this time, the students had lost interest and where now listening, or in his case, trying to listen to Sid, who was droning on again as if nothing had happened. He couldn't help looking at the green-eyed girl who was furiously taking notes, while her companion also took notes but not as frantic and hurriedly as her friend. He also noticed the blue fly, his head leaned back in his chair in slumber with his mouth open, leaving the opportunity for a real fly to wander just rolled his eyes, turned his attention back to the board and settled to just do his best to not fall asleep for the remaining of the period.

When lunch came around and the bell rung, dismissing the students from class, Black Star had awaken and instantly raced to the door shouting about his 'goldly appetite' leaving a frantic Tsubaki behind uselessly calling to him to wait for her. Maka sighed at her childhood friend's antics before following the crowd out the door and heading to the library for some peace and quiet to read. Or at least that 's what she was planning to do. As she was passing by the doors that lead to the outside picnic area she saw a figure standing by the rail, looking out to Death City with his shoulders hunched and his hands in his pockets. She pushed the glass doors open and set foot on the concrete floor of the outside. She squinted at him. She wasn't sure if he was actually real or if her mind was playing tricks with her. She was almost positively sure she was looking at the same person she'd met at the ball, the one who played that hauntingly beautiful piece. The same one who had disappeared just before she left. For one she was sort of relieved that she wasn't seeing ghosts or whatever. Because as much as she tried to figure it out when she got to her room from the ball, she couldn't come up with an answer of whether what had happened was real or not and just how was it possible for someone to just disappear like that. Even though no one out here seemed to take notice of him, she had seen how him and another student, Kilik if she remembers correctly, interacted just before she got here, so she knows she can't be the only one to see him. Also she was confused as to why and how did he disappear without a word. Not to mention that she was curious as to who he was and what he was doing in the music room that night.

Engrossed in her own thoughts she failed to notice how she unconsciously moved closer to the stranger, now only a few feet behind him.

"Are you just gonna stand there like an idiot all day?"

His unexpected voice brought her back to the present and she realized she had been staring at him like a creep for the last ten minutes. Her cheeks started to redden in embarrassment and she would have apologized for rudely staring but he was smirking at her and it was grating on her nerves. So instead she huffed and walked to stand in front of the rail an equitable amount space away from him.

"I wasn't standing like an idiot," she claimed.

"Right." He rolled his eyes, smirk still in place and sarcasm dripping from his voice.

"So what are you, and alien?"

He was about to question her logic, because really he had been called a demon of sorts for his appearance but being called an alien was new.

"You just disappear out of now where whenever you want?"

Oh, that.

"I'ts not my fault yo can't see in the dark" He replied.

She looked at him with a face that said she just knew he was lying because there is no way he could have blended in the shadows with that startlingly white head of hair.

"For y-", She was about to give him a good lecture about her 20/20 vision and lying when they heard his name being called by Kilik, who was halfway across the area standing with two other people and waving him over. One of those people seemed to be Ox Ford, Maka's rival. She frowned at the sight and asked, "You know them?"

Soul who was distracted by Kilik failed to notice her change in mood. "Just Kilik, said he was gonna try to find me a meister," he rolled his eyes and scoffed, "like I need help". Why had Soul told a stranger his business, when he didn't have to, he didn't know.

Maka was genuinely surprised by this new bit of information "You're a weapon?"

He hummed and turned to look at her once again smirking "See you later, pig-tails" He said before he walked away to go meet with Kilik.

"What did you just-?!"

He chuckled. He knew that would get her riled up.

Thank you for reading, means alot to me.
