Hello! I'm back and uploading this earlier than usual, yay! Anyway I hope you like this addition to my story, review please! Enjoy! ~~

I walked home, alone. I had a good time at Souls, he was very nice and I can't believe we're partners. I walked to my small apartment and marvelled how small it was and how big it used to look. I walked into the kitchen, Papa wasn't home, probably out wooing some poor woman. I went into my room and closed the door. I pulled out a new book I had been dying to read, the new 'how to train your dragon' book. As I was engulfed in the adventures and horrors of Hiccup, Fishlegs and Camikazi, I couldn't help think of Soul and how...how lovely he was. Although I pretended I wasn't there, I longed for a relationship like the ones in my many romance novels. A guy falls for a girl and they start dating, suddenly something threatens to tear them apart but they stick together. And it usually ends with a kiss. I felt hot just thinking of Soul, my brain couldn't function, my breathing was faster, my speech stuttery. Just forget him, he's just a friend! I thought and allowed myself to be engulfed in my book once more.

School the next day was boring. It seemed to last forever, and it didn't help that I didn't get any sleep. Papa came back at midnight, drunk. He practically woke up the whole neighbourhood before passing out on the couch, mumbling something in his sleep about 'my dearest Maka' or 'my angel'. It sickens me. Last period we had science, and Stein handed us all homework. Great! I thought because (A) I love homework and (B) now I had a proper excuse to go see Soul after school. I've a very good memory and practically ran all the way to his house, I composed myself and walked smartly up the driveway and knocked on his door. His mom answered.

"Oh hey, Maka! What can I do for you?"

"Uh hi! I just came to give Soul some homework, we got it today"

"Oh thank you, that's so nice!" She smiled

"Can you please also tell him that if he needs help, my numbers written on the back of the sheet. So tell him to text me if he needs help" what a cunning plan, Maka! You're a genius!

"Oh okay, thank you again, Maka"

"Goodbye!"

And I ran giggling like a small child all the way home.

I was doing Wes' chores as my punishment when my mom called me.

"Soul!~ you've got homework!" Great! Just what I needed.

"Okay mom, thanks"

She walked into the room I was in, Wes' room, polishing his Cello.

She winked at me, "Maka came over to give you this" she handed a sheet of paper and I noted it was basic biology. Easy!

"She also added something to the back, but you'd better get on with your chores first" she winked again and went back downstairs. Huh? I flipped the paper over and in the corner was written:

Hey Soul, schools been boring without you. Stein gave us this, it's due for next Thursday. If you get stuck text me 000-153-789-09

Maka ^_^

I snorted a bit, Maka was too nice. A smile spread across my face, it was the first time I had genuinely smiled in a long time. Well, I guess this homework isn't easy at all. I'd better text her. And with that, I made sure I finished my chores early.

I spent the whole afternoon contemplating whether my (rather dare devilish) idea of giving Soul my number was a good idea. I couldn't even watch Sherlock! Calm down, Maka it'll be fine! So I had a hot bath to relax, I was in there for about an hour and when I got out I dried and brushed out my hair and got into my fluffy pyjamas. I was settling down reading manga when my phone went.

000-239-764-11:

Hey Maka, it's Soul :)

I gasped and immediately added his number to my -empty- contacts.

Oh hey Soul, are you stuck on the science homework? I haven't done it yet but if you're doing it, we can do it together.

A few minutes later, I got a reply

Nah, I'm not stuck, I haven't even looked at it yet. I just wanted to talk to you

My breath hitched in my throat causing me to choke, I spluttered spit all over my bed and I jerked forward, why are you acting like this? You just met him! You barely know him.

Oh okay then :) I'm glad

It was true that I had known him for barely two days but it felt like a lifetime.

So what're you up to?

Just fantasising about you...Shut up, Maka.

Nothing much, you?

Same here, I just finished my chores...bleh

Aww poor you!

I know! ;)

I felt myself smiling every time I sent a text, maybe I was getting a small crush on Soul but it wouldn't come to much, we continued our conversation into the night.

The week went faster than I had thought, I woke up at seven and made breakfast for my parents, Wes and I. Then I cleaned the living room and my room then hoovered the hall way. Sometimes if my mom was in a good mood she would tell me to skip a room and move onto the next one, and she would clan the one I had meant to be cleaning. Then after a quick lunch, I clean Wes' room thoroughly. That takes me about the whole day, the only good thing about this is that usually after I clean, Maka always drops something off. Sometimes it's homework, other times it's notes written in code and most of the time it's stuff she's baked. And boy do they taste good. After I clean Wes' room I have to practise piano for two hours, then I get tea and talk to Maka for the rest of the night.

Maka was so funny -and adorably shy- and we seemed just to get on well with each other. I had never really had...friends...before but I got closer to Maka and I began to feel...loved. She was much nicer than the people my parents had tried to make me friends with. And before long I began to have Makas name on my mind...maybe a bit more than I should have. Every cunning reply I got from Maka made my heart pound and I wondered if she felt the same way, but I didn't think she would. It was about eleven on Friday night and my father had just announced that my punishment had finished, much to Wes' dismay. My phone beeped with a text from Maka, my head started to race.

Maka:

Hey soul! I'm so sorry this is late and you're probably sleeping but oh well. I was wondering if you wanted to meet me at Death Park tomorrow? Around eleven?

My heart beat sped up considerably, she wanted to meet me? It must be Christmas. You're getting a crush on her, Soul~ I thought. Maybe I was. This is so uncool.

Hey, I'm not sleeping lol and I'd love too, I'll see you then :)

My breathing was faster than normal and typing every letter made my brain spin. Was this...love? I don't know what I'm feeling.

Well, that's good! I'd hate to wake you up, I know how grumpy you can get ;) and great see you tomorrow bye! x

My eyes popped out of their sockets. Did...did she send a kiss? I expected another text saying that the 'x' was a mistake but it never came. I fell asleep with a massive smile on my face and my phone clenched in my right hand.

I woke up at 10:30 and pulled the covers over my head, trying to get back to sleep. Yo, idiot. You've got half an hour. Remember? You're meeting Maka? I sat up in bed like a flash. Crap...I quickly got dressed and brushed out my white hair. I ran down stairs and found my mom and Wes sitting in the kitchen.

"Oh" Wes said flatly "so you aren't dead. Shame."

I glared at him and grabbed a brioche and started eating it hastily.

"Come on Wes, stop that" mom said "what are you in a rush for, Soul?"

I grabbed milk and a glass and drank.

"I'm meeting Maka at the park in..." I checked my watch "ten minutes" I grabbed money and my phone and ran out the door.

"Bye mom!~" and I sprinted all the way there.

Well, thanks for reading. I'm feeling generous so maybe, a new chapter up Tonight. Review please so I can get better. I hoped you enjoyed it. Sorry if it sucked.
