"Hey Soul!" A kid in a black suit, and blue hair came up to me waving his hands. "Look who's over in the corner.."

It was Maka. I never really paid much attention to her, even though we had gone to the same elementary and middle school we didn't really interact. School at DWMA was going to be a lot different and I didn't really know who I was going to partner with.

"So Soul, I dare you to walk over to Maka, and start talking to her!" Black Star was pushing me into her direction, but stopped him.

"Why would you dare me to talk to her, out of all the people here?" I rolled my eyes.

"Well, because I want the year to start off with a bang, and remember last time when you tried talking to her… FAIL!" Black Star started cracking up about something that happened two years ago in sixth grade…

Maka and I were partnered up to do a play together, for some reason I get really awkward when I talk to her, so when it was finally our turn to do the play, I kinda messed up… "Ya, that wasn't a cool day for me.."

"Sooooo I dare you to do it!" Black Star looked at me like if I said no he would do something to me.

"Ummm… alright FINE!" I storm off to the food section and get a lot of salmon, I took it back to the table . I put one in my mouth and one in Black Star's face for daring me.

"HEY IT'S COLD!" Black Star ran to the bathroom to wipe off his face, now he won't be able to see e fail..

"Um, hi." I walk up to Maka.

She looked up from her books, she had a bit of makeup on and a sweet smell to her. "Hi.."

"Ummm so, uhhhhh nice party!" I try to bring up random stuff.

"Ya.." She replied with one word, for every time I had to say something..

Then I felt the weird urge to say, "You look really pretty tonight.."

She looked up from her book, full of surprise. "T-thank you.." She smiled so softly. I think I could feel myself blushing. And for the first time, I felt Like I actually had feeling for someone. I walked off, my heart pounding fast. I walked into the bathroom to see Black Star trying to clean his face in the mirror. I join him, and look at my face, and it was a rose red.

"NO WAY!" I touched my cheeks and it burned.

After the party, I rush back to the boys dorms, I had a feeling I would leave soon. Get to my room and I change into a t shirt. "Wow, tonight… was amazing…" I smiled as I realized that I had tripped, and fallen in love with Maka Albarn.

1 month later, I'm walking to class, and I see Maka fiddling with some notecards. She has about 25 notecards in her hand and she's panicking while sorting them out.

"Woah, Maka did we have a presentation today? Because I was not told about it.." I looked over her shoulder.

"N-n-no we did not have a presentation… B-b-but, umm…" She looked down at her cards and said.. "Would you be my partner?"

"Sure!" I replied cheerfully.

"Wha?" She looked surprised to see that I had said yes so easily.

"But why did you need to have 25 note-cards if you were just going to say that one thing?" I looked at curios.

"Umm… Well…. To uhhh prepare myself if you were to say no…" Maka looked down at her feet.

"That is so not cool.." I smile and pat her on the head.

From the on, Maka crawled out of her shell, she started talking more and more to Black Star and me. After Black Star and Tsubaki became partners, Maka really started to talk a lot, and hit me if I didn't anything stupid. She was now a confident and not to say pretty girl..

We all graduated out of 8th grade and into real stuff, like defeating witches and other nightmarish things.. I think this is the reason why I love being partners with Maka, I always get to see different sides of her, when she's mad, sad, happy, and excited..

Sorry guys, this one is kinda short. I just wanted to introduce the story a little bit. I promise I will make a MUCH longer chapter next time! DARKCRISIS OUT! ;)
