Thief of Souls (Discontinued)

Chapter 6

Maka's POV

"There you are Maka," Jade gasps. I turn around and see her on the floor, a bag in front of her. "Is there a reason why you're on the floor gasping for air?" I ask, giving a hand to help her up. She gladly takes it and grabs the bag as she stands. "Now, lets go meet with the others, we're already 9 minutes late and I rather not be any later," She explains, dragging me away.

"Where are we going and who's waiting?" I question, walking next to her. "Out to our usual spot where we eat and the people I introduced you to before," She replies, pushing the doors to the back field open, "Just be glad I know a short cut to it." I nod not knowing what else to say. "Hey watch out!" Someone yells, but I wasn't quick enough to dodge a football hitting me. I fall back, the football rolling off my stomach and to the grass next to me. "Owwwww," I groan, putting my hand to my head. "Maka are you okay?!" Jade panics, "How many fingers am I holding up?"

I ignore her and just close my eyes, a headache already setting. "Look what you did smartass!" Jade yells at someone, "You better pray that she wasn't hurt too badly or I'm gonna break you!" Someone just sighs and crouches next to me. "Are you dead?" A familiar voice asks, his tone monotone. I open one eye and see the playboy himself Soul looking at me as if he doesn't care at all. "What is it to you?" I spat, closing my eyes again. "Well if you aren't okay your friend here will kick my ass and her sister will most likely help her and I rather not have my ass handed to me by them," He sighs, "So are you okay or not?"

"I'm fine, I just have a headache and my stomach hurts," I reply, deciding to sit up and carefully open my eyes. "Good now I'm done here," He states, getting up before calling out, "Think fast Isayoi!" He throws the ball and runs off. "I wonder when they decided to be buddy buddy with each other," I hear Jade mutter next to me. "What do you mean?" I ask, getting up from the grass. "It's just," She sighs, getting up herself, "Ever since Soul decided to play me and broke my heart like 4 years ago Isayoi began to hate him for that and even though they were best friends they never talked after the incident."

"Wait you went on a date with Soul after telling me he is bad news and is a playboy?" I gasp, stopping her from walking. "I was just a little girl who didn't want to be lonely anymore and even though I knew he wasn't my soulmate I felt so happy when he came up to me and told me he 'liked me'." I nod and motion for her to keep moving with me. "I know this is personal but since your sister is friends with him do you know why he is a playboy?" I interrogate, making sure to keep my voice down. "She doesn't tell me about him and I never asked so if you want to know you'll have to ask her."

We arrive in front of the group before I can even reply. "You are 25 minutes late," Kid I think it was snaps. "Actually we are 14 minutes late since Soul threw a football and hit her," Jade smirks, plopping a seat between a girl with a long raven hair ponytail and Jasmine. "Oh I almost forgot, Maka this is Tsubaki and right next to her is Black*Star," Jade introduces, gesturing for me to sit in front of her. Tsubaki smiles and continues to eat while Black*Star jumps up and points at me. "You there mortal," He howls, "Bow down to me your god Black*Star the strongest immortal alive."

"Can you not have sudden outburst like this in front of someone new," Jasmine sighs, "At least give her some time to get used to us." He just laughs as he turns to Jasmine, "Just because you can't be as tough as I your god doesn't mean you have to be a pessimist about it." Jasmine glares at him as her boyfriend cups her cheeks and lightly shift her gaze so she's looking at him. "Isayoi come eat already," Jade whines, "Or I'll eat it all." I slightly turn and see him running over, almost tripping over his feet and not so gracefully falls into a sitting position in front of her. "Geez you're such a buzz kill Emerald," Soul sighs, plopping down right next to me.

I slightly slide over more and take a bite out of my apple. "Is that all you're eating?" He asks, raising an eyebrow. "So what if this is all I'm eating?" I rebuke, taking another bite. He just shakes his head lays back, "Nothing at all." I roll my eyes and continue to eat, silently listening to the others conversations.
