A week later Maka still had done nothing. Sure her friends had visited her but other than that she had nothing to do while they were all in class. If only she could move her hands to read a book, but if she had been able to, she surely would have read all of the books she owned. I bet the others are just finishing up class. she thought to her self, sighing. I would give anything to be out of this bed.

Still staring at the fan, Maka heard the creaking of a door opening. "YAHOOO!" Startled, Maka's eyes flew to the person who had yelled.

"Black Star what the hell are you doing screaming and running into the room like a complete maniac?!" she yelled at him

"Black Star please don't be so loud" Tsubaki said. She then sat the over excited assassin down in a chair and told him several reasons why he shouldn't yell in a place like this. Black Star as usual wasn't listening.

"Hey Maka. I hope Black Star didn't wake you up." Soul entered the room laughing at his their friend. Behind him Kid was clutching Soul's shoulder and holding his shirt to his face. "Damnit Kid, I already told you she's not sick!" Soul said pushing Kid's hand off of his shoulder.

"Then where are her wounds? Hu? Why would she be in the hospital without wounds and not being terribly sick?" He said pulling a travel-sized air freshener out of his pocket and spraying the air around Maka.

Choking and gaging she said "Kid... Why?" She closed her watering eyes. A few seconds later she heard Liz scolding Patty for laughing at her.

"Kyahahaha! Look at Maka! She's cryin just from a little freshener!"

"Patty! Don't make fun of Maka. Your big sis's eyes would have been watering too! If you made fun of Maka, you would be makin fun of me!" Reopening her eyes, Maka saw Liz on her knees hugging her little sister as Patty still laughed. Reaching down to pat Liz's head, Patty laughed even harder.

"Kyahahaha! Its ok Big Sis!"

Once they all left, Soul fed her dinner and sat down sighing. "Whats wrong Soul?" She asked.

"Well, We have a test tomorrow and I am terrible in that subject. I was just trying to remember what all Dr. Stein taught us."

"Hey! I can help you study! I can quiz you and keep you on topic." Maka smiled as his head shot up from his hands. He hit himself on the head and called himself 'stupid' which made her laugh.

They studied for about an hour when Soul got really bored. He got up and told her that he better check up on Blair and feed her dinner. "Other wise she can and will burn the whole house down just trying to use the microwave. If you need anything tell me before i leave and i will get it for you." He walked over and patter her head like he was petting a little chihuahua. "Ha! You smell like that freshener Kid sprayed on you!"

"Gah! I so wish i could Maka Chop you right now. And no i dont need anything. Well, if you can find one, if it really exists, I could really use a book stand that flips the pages for you."

"Alright I will keep my eyes open for one." Soul laughed and scratched the back of his head. I just love the way his white hair ruffles up when he scratches his head. Wait... did i really just think that?! "Oh and Maka, If you need help with anything, I will be happy to do it." He then walked out and shut the door leaving her to think about what he said. She did need something. Him. No no NO! Soul is my partner! I can't be in love with him!
