Can't Lose My Cool (Soul Eater)

Sunday Homework

Soul POV
*Yawn*
"Wow it's sunday already?" I said sleepily while getting out of bed. "Oh yea" I said remebering my call to Maka last night. She seemed annoyed. Anyway we have to get our project basically finished today. I rolled out of bed to message her on FaceGram.
I slowly made my way to the computer a few feet away and plopped down on my chair lazily. Slightly excited, but not sure why.
"WHAT THE HELL!" I screamed. Maka's status is "Taken by the cutest baddest guy alive." Wait.... oh yea she went on that date with Kid yesturday. It must of gone pretty well.
'Ill call her to see if she could come over...'

"Hello?" Maka says, slight annoyed.

"Hey.... um yea Maka I was wondering if you can come over and work on our assignment today?"

"Yea sure I'll be over in 15 ok?"

"Yea see ya then." I say hanging up. She did not sound enthusiastic to talk to me at all. I started day dreaming again... how many fingers does death have?.... Shit! I havent got dressed yet and Maka is supposed to be here in five minutes! I ran to my room and threw open my draws. After what seemed like forever I got a pair of black skinny jeans, a My Chemical Romance T-shirt and that jacket I wore at the party, the black and yellow one. I smiled at myself in the mirror... Only realizing how stupid I looked when I strikes a few poses.
*Knock* *Knock* *Knock*
Oh no! She's here!!! Okay okay I just have to keep my cool. I opened the door and saw Maka. What is she wearing? Boots, black ripped jeans and a leather jacket? She goth or something? Oh yeah now I remeber, she likes bad boys.

"Hey Soul" She said smiling, probilly happy to get homework done. She seemed happier than on the phone.

"Hey Maka come on in." I said holding the door for her.

"Ok so I reaserched for hours how cool and popular people dress, talk, eat, walk, and how they choose what social groups to disinclude." She said gleaming proudly.

"Thats great Maka but...."

"So after the research, I made a power point and a seven page essay on everything. Basically we are done, the only thing left to do is present to the class." She said cutting me off.

*BUZZ*

I checked my phone and saw a mass email from professor Stien saying that he changed the assignment and now all we have to do for the report is name popular historical weapons from the DWMA. The new due date is next monday.

"Hey Maka...."

"I know pretty great right!?" She said giddely.

"Stien changed the assignment." I said handing her the phone so she could see the email.

"WHAT." She screamed.

"Yea after all that work right?"

"Of course he changes it NOW. Ok I will finish the project this week and I will give it to you next sunday. That cool with you?"

"Yea I guess so...." I stuttered.

"But don't you want me to do any of the work?" I blurted out.

"Of course not, you could'nt even write your name on a paper, let alone finish a whole assignment."

"You know what!" I stood up a and started screaming.

"YOU DONT KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT ME! I'M SMART TO! YOU DONT THINK I WORK HARD IN SCHOOL, EVERYTHING I DO I FAIL."

"Maybe I am an idoit, I fail at fucking everything!" I held back a tear.

"Soul."

"Soul Im sorry."

"Fuck off Maka, just go home and do the dam assignment."

"Soul...... I dont know what to say" She sat down on the couch next to me.

I looked down and started quietly sobbing. All I could think about was every worksheet and test I had failed with countless hours of studying. That was when I was younger. My parents where ritch and spoiled me. I knew they loved me, but one day I can home with another failed test. My mom was sick and tired of me constantly flunking and getting detentions for beating up kids. So that last test really mad her made. She sent me to my room and told me she was running errands in the city with my dad and brother. I waited forever for her to come back so I could apologise, and promise to work harder. She never did, neither did my brother for father. They had died in a car crash on the highway. A gas-tank truck was not paying attention and ran into them. The tank blew up and my family got out of the car and tried to extinguish themselves but ended up running a few feet on fire and burning to death. I have inheareted my familys fortune and have been living in an apartment by myself every since.

Maka wrapped her arms around my shoulders and pulled me into an embrace. I guess we ended up falling asleep together becuase I woke up at 7pm sunday night still in Maka's arms.

"Hey Maka." I nudged her awake.

She yawned while sitting up.

"Oh hey Soul."

"Thanks..."

"No problem, I still want to do the report if thats ok?" She looked nervous.

"Don't worry it's totally cool."

"Alright well I should be going then. We only have a few more days left of school until Winter break."

"Really, already?"

"Yea they started school later than usual this year, and the classes get easier as you reach higher levels, and we are on the 9th."

"Well thanks for everything Maka." I handed Maka her coat.

"Bye Soul" She waved and walked out the door.

Wow. Why would Maka stay here that long just to make me feel better? Didn't she hate me?

 Authors note:

First winter break chapter! Hoped you liked it. I am going to do the next few chapters in Maka's POV, since most of you seemed to enjoy her point of view. I have the outline of the story done, and a new character is going to come into play soon. Im so excited to keep writing. Thanks!
