*Soul's POV*

I was sleeping peacefully until i heard someone call my name in a soft voice. I grunted and turned to my side, but was followed by a shove. After a couple of shoves, i decided to give in and wake up. "Soul~". I opened my eyes and turned to see Maka. "Good you're awake! Better get ready. We have school." "Okay early bird! Ill be ready in 20 min." She smiled and walked out of my room. Talk about recovering so quickly. Yesterday she looked super pale and now it looks like she was rejuvinated back to her old self. I had to admit, i did miss her. Taking care of her every second was tiresome. I smiled a welcome back smile and got up to get ready. I replaced my pajamas with my regular outfit for school. I went to the bathroom and got ready, and came out to see Maka. "Hey im ready. Just let me get a piece of toast for breakfast and we'll leave." "Sounds good Soul." I smirked and made toast. I grabbed one and went to get the keys to my motorcycle. "Ready, Maka?" I asked. "Always am!" she smiled and surprisingly gave me butterflies in my stomach. Should i admit to her that i love her? Or would it be too late? I put the thought aside as we both got on the motorcycle and drove off.

It didn't take us long to arrive to the DWMA. If we went walking it wouldve tooken us 15 min. We don't live far from our school so we have extra time at home since we ride here. I got off and felt Maka bump into me while she tried getting off. "Oops, im sorry Soul." She blushed a bit. I couldn't help but blush slightly too. "Its okay Maka. Accidents happen." We walked to the doors of our school when i heard someone scream out to us. "Maka! Soul! Wait up!" It was Black*Star. He ran to me and gave me a high-five. Tsubaki came seconds later greeting us as well. "Soul, Maka." "Hey Tsubaki!" Maka chimed. "Morning." Tsubaki said calmly. "Soul, why didnt you go with Maka to visit us. She came alone." I frowned. I remembered how Maka acted sorta distant that day. I didnt want to bother her, so i didnt go with her. "I was tired." i said bleakly. Black*Star grinned. "Oh sure you were..... Soul is just scared of seeing how big of a star ive become so far." I gave him a glare. "Well guys, i think we should go now, we'll be late if we don't get to Stein's class right now." I sighed and nodded as i followed my meister. Black*Star and Tsubaki followed too.

*Maka's POV*

When I saw Soul give Black*Star a warning look, i knew i had to jump in and say something. Right now was not the time to start a fight. Even though these two normally had fights, i didn't like seeing Soul put himself in danger. Black*Star is one strong meister, since he doesn't need to use Tsubaki all the time in combat. I realized what i had said to myself and completely stopped walking. My eyes grew slightly larger. I worry about Soul! I never knew that before! I mean, yes i did worry about him, but not as bad as this. I just don't want to see him get hurt. It would ruin his good looks. "Maka!" I blushed as i snapped back into reality where Black*Star, Tsubaki, and Soul were all staring at me. "What's wrong, you were walking with us a second ago and now you look like you saw the kishin reappear." Soul said. My stomach flipped as i searched for an answer to give him. It was hard to think with those beautiful scarlett red eyes locked on to mine. I had butterflies in my stomach as i told him my reply. "Oh, ummmm i just realized that, Black*Star is becoming a bigger star everyday! Yeah.... Right Black*Star?" I gave a fake smile to him. "Hell yeah Maka! Boy do you have your facts straight. You know, your not bad." I hid my anger towards him. So he thought i was bad. "Thanks...." I began walking with the others, but could tell Soul kept looking back at me with suspicion in his eyes. Could he have known i lied. A slight blush formed on my face as i sighed.

In Stein's class, i wrote notes quietly. I noticed that Soul continued to glance at me from time to time. Is he mad at me? Did i do something wrong? Maybe he's mad because of my response. But if it were any, i thought he wouldve forgot by now. I kept writing until i recieved a note from a student in front of me. I opened it in wonder and layed a question inside. It read, " Dear Maka, Will you go out with me? Love, Kid." I blushed furiously as i read the name of the sender. Kid likes me? And he decides that now would be a good time to ask me. Im still confused about my feelings towards Soul. How in the world will i know how i feel towards Kid!? I slouched back into my seat and sighed. Why do things like this always happen to me.
