Thief of Souls (Discontinued)

Chapter 14

Soul's POV

"So are you still on for the party this weekend?" Obi asks me, Jasmine sitting on his lap. I take a bite out of my sandwich and nod my head.

"Speaking of the party," Jade pipes up, leaning on Izayois arm, "Maka you should come to the party with us."

"I'm not really a party person," She responds, putting down what seems to be homework. I chuckle a little hearing that. I mean of course she isn't a party person, someone as flat as her and book smart could never truly be good at partying.

"What's so funny?" She asks, her voice clearing telling me I'm in a dangerous zone. I shrug my shoulders, smirking as I did.

"I mean a flat chested bookworm like you obviously doesn't know how to have a good time at a party," I explain, taking a bite out of my sandwich. Just as I'm about to take another bite I hear her whisper under her breath 'Maka chop' causing me to look up at her. Just as we make eye contact some thick solid item makes contact with my head and I collapse on the ground, my eyesight a bit hazy.

"What the hell?" I question, talking more to myself. I look up and see her holding a thick book that came out of nowhere. She smirks at me before going to back to do her homework.

"You know what," She speaks up, "I will go to the party if you don't mind Jade." Jade squeals in delight and tackles her into a hug.

"Great I have to deal with more annoying people," I sigh, grabbing my drink. Maka just glares at me and the twins giggle. I look over to Obi and see him throwing a football with Isayoi. I put my earbuds in and collapse on my back, taking in the last 20 minutes of lunch for some peace.

-----------------

"I didn't know you draw," I smirk, creeping up on Jasmine. She panics and throws her sketchbook across the library, almost hitting another person. She looks up at me and gives me the deadliest glare, standing up and punching me in the stomach. I fall to my knees and clutch my stomach, groaning in pain. She gives me a smug smile and walks over to her sketchbook, apologizing to the person.

"Why the hell are you here Soul?" She growls, sitting in the seat from before, "I thought you said you hated the library because of the lack of sound there is." I stand up slowly, sitting in the seat beside her.

"I saw you walk in here without Obi so I thought you two got in a fight or something," I explain, watching as she stops putting her sketchbook in her bag.

"Did you come in here to check if I was okay?" She asks, a small smile on her face.

"Don't make it seem like such a big deal," I sigh, already regretting my decisions.

She just laughs, taking out a notebook and closing her bag. "Well if you must know, Obi wanted to stay in his last class to get help from the teacher so he told me to come here so he'll meet me up later or something." I nod to her words, snatching her bag away. She gives me a skeptical look before opening her notebook to write something.

I slowly open the bag, carefully taking out her sketchbook. She doesn't notice me until I open to a random page. "Soul! Don't look at that!" She hollers, snatching the book from my hands before I could look at it. The librarian shushes her and she quickly apologizes. She turns to look at me and glares again.

"What's the big deal?" I ask, leaning back in my chair a bit.

"The big deal is that my sketchbook is a private thing and I don't like people going through it, including if that person doesn't have permission," She growls, showing the book into her bag again, making sure to put the bag on the other side of her. I sigh and roll my eyes.

"It's just as private as you hiding your tattoo from me and your other friends," She whispers, not taking her eyes off the paper. I flinch a little and stare at her, seeing her smirk a little. She gives me a side glance before putting down her pencil and staring at me completely.

"Why won't you let us see it?" She asks, resting her head in her arms on the table, "What happened that made you who you are now?" I sigh loudly, copying her actions, the memories of my past and her flooding into mind.

"Nothing you need to concern yourself with now," I respond, "Maybe at a later date." She smiles and then a cough behind us catches our attention.

"Am I interrupting something?" Obi asks, making Jasmine jumping out of her seat to hug him.

"No nothing really," I say, "Just talking. I wasn't trying to steal your girlfriend if that's what you thought." He smiles down on me and sits in the chair next to me, Jasmine standing behind him with her hands on his shoulders.

"So what were you two talking about before I rudely interrupted," He queries, bringing a chair out for Jasmine. She sits down and takes Obi's headband, putting it on her head while she sticks her tongue out at him.

"We were talking about nothing important," She responds, looking at me while winking. Obi sighs and smiles, pulling her closing to him. My phone goes off in my pocket.

One new message- Black*Star

Black*Star: Where are you Soul

Oh crap I forgot I told him I would skip school with him.

Soul: I got caught in the library. I'll meet you in a few

I pocket my phone and stand up catching the attention of the lovers. "I gotta go meet up with Star," I explain, throwing my bag over my shoulder, "I'll see you guys later." They wave me goodbye and I walk through the empty hallways to the back of the school to my usual meet up with Black*Star.

"Took you long enough. You should never keep a god waiting Soul," Black*Star cackles, jumping out of nowhere. I give him a toothy smile and wrap my arm around his shoulder.

"Let's get going before anyone catches us," I say, letting go of him to quicken my pace. He cackles again and runs ahead of, almost as if he's trying to challenge me to a race. I gladly accept in my head, speeding ahead of him. We continue to run, with me of course ahead until we stop at my car, both panting.

"So...where....are....we.....going," He pants, leaning on my car. I shrug my shoulders, unlocking the car.

Guess who's back. Back again. I am back. Back again. Yeah I'm not dead, I've kind of just been procrastinating for the past months and getting a feel for high school cause your girl is a freshman people. I was going to make this longer but then I was like "The people have waited long enough" so yeah. I'm going to say it now, this may be updated slowly but please don't hate me. Also what the hell guys??? 1.33k reads!?!??! You guys are amazing?!?!! I remember when I made this and I didn't even think this would get to a hundred reads and here it is wayyy past that.

I truly love you guys. Oh and also the thing about the sketch book is a very true thing so don't take artists sketchbooks or they might cut you or something. Until next time.

I also need to add the fact that this book is number two on the MakaxSoul tag and I'm confused. How???? Why????
