5Before we noticed, it rung. Thanks to all distractions, we were a mile away from the classroom, so we had to run. We went into the class holding hands. We excused ourselfs to the professor. I ran up the stairs to our seats, Crona lagging behind me. He looked like he was going to hide somewhere at any moment. I didn't feel much better, everyone was staring at us. I was late to class after all. That never happens.
At my right, Soul turned towards me and whispered: "We are having a test next week. Stein was just saying what the subjects are."I muttered a thank you and started writing notes.
The lesson passed quickly. "So, how did your "study" date go?" Asked Black*Star beaming a smile at us.
"We did't have it yet. Maybe you didn't notice, but we hadn't really had time for that."
I turned to my own musings. This was the perfect time to tell them, but for some reason, I was very nervous about it.
"Oh, and, you see..." A loud *splorch* was heard.
"These two doofers are together now. So yes, the cow got herself an obedient wimp as a slave. And it doesn't help that I feel everything this fuck does. Fun-frickin-tastic!"
After that, he disappeared back inside Crona. Everybody stood still for a moment.
Well, this solves the problem of telling everybody. Ragnarok was so loud that the whole school must have heard.
"I'm sorry Ragnarok..." Crona murmured.
"Uh...was he joking?" Soul asked.
"Actually, no, it's the truth. I would have informed you if he hadn't interrupted."
"You didn't look like you would. I think Ragnarok helped you there, didn't think he had it in him. Oh, and if he comes out now and screeches something like "I'm always helpful!" I will burst out laughing."
Thankfully, Ragnarok didn't come out. I didn't want my ears ruined.
"That's wonderful, Maka. I'm so happy for you!"
Tsubaki smiled at me.
"And here I thought I would be special to know...you're ruining my road to greatness!"
"Yeah, I know. Get over it." I glanced at the hallway clock. "Ok, now we seriously need to study.
I prompted Crona to come with me and bid our friends goodbye. I checked my bag for my father's ID. It was right there, between my textbook and notebook.
If I wanted to complete my "mission" I had to reach to classified sections of the library. I'll also get some study books for Crona. He does need them. And they'll be a perfect cover. I turned my head to speak to him.
"Well, looks like they buy it."
"Uh-uh... but I don't like lying. It makes me want to run..."
"I figured. But don't worry, they just thought you were nervous about them knowing. Anyway, when we get to the library, we will pretend to study like we were supposed to, I will check the building plans and you will do your homework."
I sighed. Checking the plans will be way better than wandering around the dungeons- less chance of getting caught. The full plans were kept at the fourth level, for "some" reasons. You didn't have to sign the book's card if you didn't borrow it outside.
Talking about borrowing, I still haven't given back Eibon's book. I was still trying to copy some of the illustrations into my own notebook- when we finally find the storage it will be beneficial to know what does what and what it looks like.
Still, this school is huge. The dungeons are even bigger- plans for it won't be small, that I'm sure of.
"Jealous, Soul?"
"Huh?" I turned my head towards Black*Star. What is he blabbing about now?
"I asked if you were jealous! The answer is obvious though, just look at your face!"
Jealous? The hell?
"I don't know what you're talking about." Black*Star grinned at me.
"Say what you want, I, your god, know best anyway!" And he stormed of. Yay.
"Are you really?"
Oh, right, Tsubaki was also here.
"Seriously, I'm not... it's just... this isn't very like Maka."
"Hm, you're right. I didn't think she was the type to start going out. And only a few months, too..."
"Exactly! I mean, Crona is alright, well, now, that is, but he isn't the type either. About Maka- she is barely home, I guess you could blame that on her spending time with him, but when she is, she's only reading! I know she's a bookworm, but that's a little too much. And when I tell her to relax, take a breather, go play with us or something, she tells me to piss off and locks herself in her bedroom! Ugh!"
"It's alright Soul, I understand. Maybe she's got an important project to work on? Or needs to better herself, maybe try asking if you could help with whatever she's doing, or just wait it out. And if she doesn't stop, or it gets worse, will inform professor Stein or someone else. Also, we can always give her a nice big, group hug. that always helps. Although, I'm almost sure that she'll get over it eventually. She's a strong girl. For now, don't worry about it." Tsubaki smiled reassuringly.
"Thanks, I wanted to let it out for some time. And you're right- I shouldn't worry so much. Maka is stong, maybe she doesn't realize that, but we, her friends do. A little help in doing so won't hurt her."
So, when she comes back home, she'll be greeted by a nice, tasty cake with a dose of humor. That'll surely better her mood.
And if she refuses- a slap across the cheek and a speech about being stupid should wake her from whatever is plaguing her.
This was a good plan.
I grinned.
"Well then, I should get going and prepare for her return. Thanks again!"
I ran off towards the apartment.
Let's bake that cake!
Hurrah, I updated! :D Well, I finally got a computer. I still need to get myself a nice program to write, though.
This was a little longer- 1000 words instead of 700. A little improvement, but a one nonetheless.
Thank you for the reviews :) They were a nice motivation- I probably wouldn't write anything until August.
I'll TRY to update sooner (and longer!).
