Hello! Hello! It's me again, this chapter will probably be a bit shorter than the rest but oh well, I hope you enjoy this chapter :3 sorry if it sucked!

I saw Maka sitting on a bench in the middle of the park, looking around eagerly, probably for me. I sneaked up behind her and put my hands over her eyes and was immediately thrown back by her elbow making contact with my stomach. I doubled over, groaning in agony.

"What the hell, Soul!?" She squeaked

"What the hell...Maka!?" I gasped

She walked over to me and out her hand on my shoulder,

"Don't do that again, okay!?"

I looked at her, the pain was easing now, "d'ya think I'm going to try that again?!"

She smirked, "Probably not" I stood up fully and noticed she was wearing a black shirt with 'high functioning sociopath' written on it and a navy skirt. She grabbed my hand.

"Come on, I want to show you something" and she dragged me into a nearby woods.

We went down a small path and turned left about half way down it.

"Maka, there's no path here, where are we going?"

She stopped and turned to me, still holding my hand, and used her foot to move some of the plants and grown under them was a thin stone path.

"There is a path, you just have to look" and she continued walking. We walked for what seemed like ages, I didn't take in the scenery - I just stared at the back of Makas head admiring her. We then reached a clearing, a giant tree sat in the middle of it,

"We're here!" Maka said cheerfully "welcome to my second home!" I took in the sights, the air was so clear, the grass so green. Maka climbed up a few branches until she reached a thick one and she lay down on it, her hair pouring down like a golden waterfall.

"You can come up if you want!" She shouted down to me, and I took the same route she did up.

"So...this is your second home?" I asked

"Yup" she replied "I keep lots of stuff here and no one'll ever find it!" She sat up and pulled back a bit of bark from the trunk of the tree which revealed a small hole filled with diaries and other books and a box.

"What's in the box?" I asked, curious

She turned and pulled the box out, "it's filled with postcards from mama" she took one out and smiled at it fondly, "she's been all over the world, Japan, China, America...everywhere!" She put the box back and covered the hole with the bark. We just sat staring at the woods around us, I felt comforted by her presence. My hand suddenly felt odd, I realised that she had put hers over mine, I wrapped my fingers around hers and we sat. Sitting on a branch that could only just support our weight, holding hands.

We spent the rest of the day in that cleared area, just chatting. Just teasing each other, I would make a joke about her chest and she would nearly push me out of the tree. It was the most fun I've had in ages. We held hands almost the whole time. My big hands easily gripped onto her petite ones our long fingers entwined, it wasn't awkward or weird, it was...nice. Suddenly my phone rang and I answered it, it was my mom.

"Hey mom, what's up?"

"Hey...Soul. You've to come home now"

There was something off about her, something was wrong.

"Mom? What's wrong?"

There was a pause "nothing, really I'm fine. Just come home now, okay? Say hi to Maka for me!" And she hung up.

Maka stared at me,

"Is everything okay, Soul?" He hand gripped mines hard.

"Yeah, don't worry, I've just to go home now, I'll see you on Monday!"

She smiled, "okay, I'm just going to stay here for a bit longer, see you!"

I let go of her hand and my hand suddenly felt empty and cold. I climbed down and waved to her from the opening, she waved back. And I started on the long journey home.

I walked into my big house and noticed my parents in the kitchen, my dad never usually came out of his study for anything. I casually walked into the kitchen, mom was standing next to father her head hung. Eyes...red and puffy...she had been crying?...

"Hey, what's going on?"

It was my father who spoke, "Solomon. I have heard from Wesley that you are seeing a poor girl outside of my vision, is this correct."

That bastard. "Yes. Do you have a problem with that?"

Father glared at me "yes. You are of a higher class than...those people. You are to marry a rich girl with a rich family and you are not to socialise with any other person other than a person with noble blood. Is this understood?"

I clenched my fists. "I understand but I'm not going to stop seeing Maka, besides! We aren't even dating. We're friends! And I will marry whoever I want to!"

"This...Maka? Does she have noble blood?"

"No" I growled

"Well then, you will not see or speak to her again!"

I had to bite my tongue to stop myself from saying something horrible, all I did was storm out. I was at the doorway when my father called me back.

"Solomon. I have a meeting arranged with Lady Elisabeth Cunningham, your future wife. Whether you like it or not."

I ran up to my room and locked the door.

I sat up in my tree and watched Soul disappear. After I was sure that he had gone, I sighed to myself, clutching the hand that he had been holding all day to my chest. But it didn't feel the way it did before, my hand felt empty, my heart felt empty without him there. After about an hour of think of Soul, I decided to head home, I couldn't wait for Monday!

*gasp* what will Soul do?! Lol, sorry if this chapter is awful, it didn't seem like my best work. But anyway, I'll be introducing the other Soul Eater characters pretty soon and a new chapter will be up either tomorrow or the next again day as I have to finish writing it and stuffs so. Thank you for reading, review please and I'll se you next time.

bai bai!
