Chapter 14

I wake with a small headache. All attempts to remember what last happened only make my headache worse.

"Mornin' sleepyhead. Have a nice nap?" I recognize that voice as Bri's.

"What happened?" I ask sitting up slowly.

"You got knocked out after fighting the Kishin.You were out for a couple days. And you missed Lord Death fight Asura one-on-one! Man, you suck." He says jokingly. "Feeling any better?"

"Yeah." I notice my legs are on his lap. "Is everyone else alright?"

"Totally fine." He rubs one of my legs, soothingly. "And we all made plans to play ball at the court today."

"But I guess I didn't really have you in mind when I agreed." He laughs nervously. "Before we go, we should change those bandages."

"Huh?" He grabs my wrists, guiding them to my wrapped forehead.

"You got a pretty nasty beating. Don't worry though, you've almost completely healed."

"Oh.. Okay."

''~~~~''

Brian and I already met up with Black Star and Tsubaki. We see Soul-- his hair pulled back by a white headband-- and Maka trying to manoeuvre her way out of this.

"What're you planning Soul?" Maka says.

"Just a little change of pase."

"Yo!" Black Star yells out to them, gaining her attention.

She tilts her head in confusion.

As we walk to the Basketball court, I try to avoid Soul, remembering what happened at the party.

'I don't know if I even want to date Soul. Or at least at the moment. Things are too complicated. Not only for me, but for Death City entirely.'

I noticed I lagged behind a bit. It seems he noticed too, because he slows down to talk to me.

"Hey." Soul says.

"Hey." I say. Awkward silence ensues. I intend to break it.

"Listen I-" We say at the same time. We smile a little, loosening the tension a bit.

"You go first." I say.

"About what happened at the party." He pauses. "I think that if we were gonna start dating, we should play it cool. Take things slow."

"But I don't think we should.. with all that's happened and is going to happen."

"Man, this is uncool." He says to himself. "I know. But that's why we should."

I stay silent for a bit.

"So is that a yes or a no. Your silence is killing my confidence. Not cool." He says. I laugh.

"Fine." I smile. "Let's see how this works out."

"Cool."

"Cool?" I say, questioningly.

"Cool."

My smile grows even more. "Cool." (Sorry, I watched TFIOS Thursday >u<)

''~~~~''

"Alright!" Black Star yells enthusiastically. "Let's play some Basketball!"

"Yeah!" We all shout back to him.

"Hey, Maka!" Black Star turns to her direction. "Get over here!"
