Chapter 2: Is It So Hard?
In the classroom Maka looked up at the odd arrangement of seats and spotted the raven-haired girl who smiled when she saw Maka.
"Oh, you're in our class! That's wonderful!" Black*Star grunted and yelled about him being a god and that Maka should bow down to him and his godliness. Maka rolled her eyes and saw an empty seat in the middle section of the semi-circle rows of seats and she smiled. Maka quickly sat down and noticed a strange kid next to her.
"Hi! I'm Maka Albarn, it's nice to meet you!" The kid looked at her and she saw golden orbs that she had seen before…
"Death the Kidd?! It's so good to see you again!"
"You're looking rather symmetrical today! Please just call me Kidd!" Maka yelped and his eyes widened in excitement. Maka let out a small eep as Kidd's hands grasped both of hers and he smiled with a happy look in his eyes. A loud and obnoxious cough sounded from the top tier of the desks and Maka's head turned towards the sound and saw the one and only Soul Eater who stared at her with a strange look in his crimson eyes.
'It looks like he is annoyed with something but it also looks like he is enjoying the annoyance... This guy is weird.' Suddenly she felt a tap on her shoulder and looked up to see two girls with small sweater tops and blue eyes. "Um, you're in our seats." Maka quickly apologized and stood up.
"Oh Maka, the tall one is Liz Thompson and the smaller one is Patty Thompson. Liz, Patty, this is my old childhood friend Maka Albarn, she just started today." Kidd explained quickly trying to diffuse any anger the elder Thompson sister may have.
"It's nice to meet you two, sorry I sat in your seats I just didn't realize."
Liz waved her hand in front of her face and smiled at Maka."You're all right."
Patty grinned goofily and thrust her hands high in the air. "You look like a Giraffe!" Maka looked at patty with a look of confusion.
Liz sighed and shrugged."Don't worry about her, she just really likes giraffe's for some reason…" Liz's voice dropped and she whispered. "Plus she's always so hyper, she will say a lot of weird stuff. I'm sorry."
Maka giggles and smiled."It's all right, she sounds like a sweet girl. Well I should get to my seat now since everyone has filed into the classroom."
Liz nodded and Maka grimaced and looked around the oddly tiered desks and hoped that a seat any seat other than the one next to that handsome guy was open. Her face fell when she realized only that one seat was open. She walked over to him and held up her hand in greeting.
"Hey Soul, is it okay if I sit with you?" Soul tilted his head up lazily and peered through his bangs and smiled a sharp-toothed smile that made Maka gulp.
"Heh, I suppose since it's the only seat open in the class. Besides what cool guy wouldn't offer up a seat to a lady, even one like you." Maka's face blanched and she glared and pulled a book out of seemingly nowhere and chopped him.
"Ouch! What the hell did you do that for?" Soul held his head as Maka sat down giggling to herself.
"That was so not cool, Maka!" Soul grumbled.
Maka titled her head to look at Soul and lifted an eyebrow."You remember my name?"
Soul sighed as he laid his head down on his arms and looked up at Maka with a teasing expression."How could I not remember the name of a girl who has a karate chop named after her?" Soul chuckled until a book firmly implanted itself in his skull.
"Yahoo! I the great and amazing Black*Star demands to be noticed and adored by all of his disciples! Bwhahaha!" Maka rubbed her temples as Tsubaki quickly spoke up.
"Black*Star! You mustn't stand on the teachers' desk or he'll be upset with you!" Black*Star laughed as he bounced around the room. Maka hissed as an object fell on top of her and bounce to the floor. Upon inspection she noticed it was a chain. Soul who was unconscious from being hit with a Maka-Chop woke up and stretched.
"The hell just happened?" Soul looked over to see the beet red Maka clenching her fists and shied away thinking he might have done something in his unconscious state. Maka reached out grabbed the chain and threw it at Black*Star. Black*Star paused when the chain hit his nose and a trickle of blood flowed and Black*Star glared at Soul.
"Soul you bastard, how dare you hit the almighty Black*Star who has treated you as a disciple and cohort in all manner of trouble making!"
Soul glared at him and rolled his eyes."Yeah, like a cool guy like me would be your disciple. Besides like I would need to hit you with a chain…" Soul paused and looked over at Maka and sighed."You sure you didn't throw it onto the ceiling and it fell? That's really uncool Black*Star."
Maka stared at Soul's crimson eyes and smiled, silently thanking him for not throwing her under the train wreck that is Black*Star.
Kidd walked up to Maka and stared at her face."W..What is it Kidd?" Suddenly Kidd reached out and touched a curl and messed with it till the curl was nice and neat again.
"There now you are symmetrical again!" Kidd walked off leaving a dumb-struck Maka. Maka turned her head towards Soul and saw him staring at her with his crimson eyes and an expression Maka couldn't quiet read.
'Ahh, those eyes, what is up with them? So…Entrancing…' Maka's thoughts trailed off when she heard a snort and saw a teasing expression rise into Soul's features.
"Looks like you're pretty popular for a girl that just transferred here." Maka paused and shrugged, deciding not to rise to Soul's challenge and simply smiled.
"I guess so, too bad you've been here a while and don't seem to be all that popular." Soul's eyes widened in surprise since Maka failed to react like she had done before.
"For your information, a cool guy like me is very popular, I just like to keep to myself in the classroom so I can sleep." Soul shoved his hands into his pockets, slouched in his chair and looked away from Maka who was grinning like she had won a game.
A/N: Thanks to those who reviewed and my awesome reader that helped me with the layout! This chapter probably wasn't near as good as the first and I'm sorry T-T Blame writers block, school, and a lot of doctor's appointments.
Plus it's hard to find the energy to even want to write. Anyway, I hope this chapter is less blocky, and the spacing is better. Sorry if I don't respond to reviews, I promise I read them, and try to adjust the story to what is written in the reviews!
Oh, this chapter may end up being a two part chapter since I didn't write in the teacher yet... Hm, wonder who I'll use. -insert evil face here-
Heh, I love being evil, especially to the characters.
*Disclaimer: I do not own Soul Eater, believe me, I wish I did. -tears-
