The DWMA Dance

Death City Mall

Maka's POV

The birds were chirping and the sun was laughing beautifully this morning. Today is going to be a good day I know it. After all today's the day of the DWMA dance so how could it not be a good day? I yawned and got out of bed.

What time is it?

"Oh my God! We only have eight minutes! How could I have possibly forgotten to set my alarm last night? Not good." I ran to Soul's room not bothering to knock. "Soul! Wake...up He's not in here? Soul! Where are you?"

"Waiting for you to get ready for school." He said coming from the living room.

When I got to the living room I was shocked that he was already ready. "Why didn't you wake me up when you woke up?" I said pointing a finger at him. He crossed his arm and chuckled while looking the other way. "Hmph. That wouldn't have given me the satisfaction of seeing little miss early bird waking up late panicking, now would it?" "Ugh! Soul I don't have time for this!" I let out a screech realizing I was still in my PJ's then I quickly ran into my room and got dressed. When I got out and was heading out the door Soul was still waiting for me.

"You actually waited for me? You don't care that you're going to be late too?"

"Nah. Cool men wait for their meisters." He said calmly but not making eye contact.

"Okay mister "cool" let's go! Or would you like detention?" I said teasing him a little bit. Then we walked out the door with him walking behind me.

Soul's POV

I brought a backpack to school today so I could hide the notebook I took from Professor Stein's desk yesterday. I kept on asking myself "What am I supposed to do with this? Crap. Next time I steal anything I really need to think it over first. Not cool." Then I saw Crona in the hallway shaking eyes shaking from left to right.

Crona seriously needs to chill sometimes.

I walked up to Crona and gave Crona a pat on the back. "Hey, Crona! Can you do me a favor? I'd really appreciate it." I said with my best smile on showing my shark teeth.

"Wh-what kind of f-favor?"

"Can you put this notebook back on Professor Stein's desk for me? It would mean a lot to me if you did." I had a grin on my face now.

"W-why can't you do it?" Crona said trying to avoid eye contact with me.

I thought for a moment. "Because Maka and I are going to the mall afterschool. So I don't have time to put it back. And Professor Stein really wants it back. So how bout it buddy?"

Before Crona got to answer I had a book fly at me and hit in my face and I fell on the ground.

"Ow! What the hell?" When I was trying to get back I saw Maka in front of me with hands on her hips giving me a serious look.

"Don't bully Crona, Soul. Maka......Chop!" She gave me a hard Maka chop.

"Ow! Maka that really hurt!" I said rubbing my head having blood on my hand. "And I wasn't bullying Crona, I was simply asking for a favor."

"Oh really now? Hey wait a minute.. That's Tsubaki's notebook. Why do you have it Soul?" She was eyeing me suspiciously.

Crap. "I-uh found it." I said without thinking.

"You didn't go through it right?"

"No ma'am!" I said with one hand on my chest and the other slightly in the air. I hated lying to Maka but I had to just this one time.
