The New Battle Begins

Chapter 2

 The bell sounded, signaling the end of the day and Jamie sighed in exhaustion. She looked around for any sign of Angel but didn't see her. She shrugged thinking she might have gotten a head start home. She did that sometimes if she had a lot of homework. Especially with the big test coming up soon. Jamie made her way to her locker and opened it, beginning to grab her things. Her head perked up hearing voices. She looked at the end of the hall, seeing no one there.

'It must be coming from around the corner?' Jamie questioned herself. She wouldn't have been so interested, but it sounded like Soul's voice with another she couldn't really place. Jamie finished packing what she had to in her bag and then slowly made her way to the corner.

'I shouldn't be snooping but...I need to know.' She thought to herself. She stood there, clutching a book to her chest. She tried to listen, but she could barely hear a word. She peeked slowly around the corner, Soul's back was to her. However, the girl in front of him was none other than a girl that had been out for Jamie's head since she started here.

Cora Natuazaki.

She's a tall brunette weapon. A double bladed scythe to be precise. Perfectly tanned, emerald eyes, and a perfect smile. She was ranked number one in the magazine she had looked at earlier.

Jamie noticed how close she was to him. How he wasn't pulling away. She had seen Cora around him often, he never seemed to show complete interest, however he never seemed to walk away or make an excuse to get away. Jamie tried listening as much as she could.

"So...Do you think you can help me train a little? I'm still a little rusty on transforming." Cora asked. Jamie rolled her eyes. She was totally lying! She NEVER had a problem transforming!

"Uh, I could check with Maka I guess-?"

"Oh that's perfect!" Cora exclaimed, throwing her arms around his neck. Her eyes looked up and met Jamie's and she gasped silently at being noticed, however, Cora just smirked as she looked back at Soul, dragging a finger on his chest.

"Y'know...you really are a nice guy Soul...Any girl would be lucky to be with you..." She began and inched closer to him, batting her eyelashes. "Even...someone like me...I would love to be with you..." She spoke and then pulled him into a kiss. Jamie's eyes widened as tears filled her eyes.

'Pull away...' She thought to herself, hoping Soul would. 'S-stop...''

However he didn't.

Cora opened her eyes from the kiss looking up in Jamie's direction, seeing her, before closing them again trying to deepen the kiss.

She had seen enough. She had to get out of there. She dropped her book before sniffing and running out of the hall, out of the DWMA and down the stairs, wiping her eyes and cursing under her breath.

'I should've known...I'm such an idiot! Why do I even try?!' She thought to herself as she sniffed and made her way home as it began to rain.

(MEANWHILE)

Soul jerked away looking at Cora, hearing the sound of something falling. "What was that?"

"Never mind that." Cora said, turning his head back to look at her and bit her lip. "Just kiss me again." She leaned in but this time he pulled away.

"Listen, I'm sure you're a good person deep...deep down...but I have my eyes on someone else. You know that and I've told you that before." Soul explained to her. She pouted and looked at him and scoffed crossing her arms.

"Honestly I do NOT know what you seen in her! She stammers like a child, she's so shy, and she is a sloppy fighter most of the time!" She threw her hands up in the air.
