I know this chapter isn't the best, but I promise the rest are getting better with every update. And please keep in mind that this is my first story to write and publish.

DISCLAIMER: I do not own Soul Eater or the song, I Miss You. They both belong to their respectful owners.

New School, New Beginnings

Sha-la-la-la-la, sha-la-la-la-la

'Ow! My head hurts, and my face feels kinda sticky.'

You used to call me your angel

Said I was sent straight down from heaven

'Have I been crying? That would explain the terrible feeling in my heart and head. Why? I can't remember much right now. Ouch! It hurts to think!'

You'd hold me close in your arms

I loved the way you felt so strong

'Huh? Why did I pick that song as my alarm? Who was so strong? I really need to turn my alarm off, I'm getting a headache again.' Maka peeped from under the covers and was instantly blinded by sunlight through her yellow curtains. 'Does that sun have a face? And is it laughing at me? Weird.' When Maka's eyes adjusted she saw her alarm clock on the bedside table. The pigtailed teenager slowly reached for it, not wanting to fall out of bed. But two lines in the song cut off her assault on the alarm clock.

I never wanted you to leave

I wanted you to stay holding me

Maka's heart clenches in her chest and she can feel her sleep deprived eyes well with tears. 'Oh. I remember now... we moved... to Death City... without mom. I remember now why I picked this song. It's all Papa's fault!' Kami Albarn did not die like in the song. But it felt like it... to Maka. Maka's mom had long since knew about Spirit Albarn's cheating ways, but never did the lying, cheating father think she would leave. Maka knew about her father's cheating ways as well and she didn't understand why? 'Why did men cheat on the women they said they love? Why did Papa cheat on Mama with women at bars and clubs when he had his wife at home?' Maka just didn't understand it! Maka was so busy thinking that she didn't even notice her alarm clock was still on.

I miss you

I miss your smile

And I still shed a tear

Every once in a while

And even though it's different now

You're still here somehow

My heart won't let you go

And I need you to know

I miss you, sha-la-la-la-la

I miss you

"Yeah, I really do miss you mom. I hope you come back to get me soon." Maka stated quietly. She really did her mom, but she knew the last sentence was a dream that would never come true. Not after what she told her a week ago.

Flashback

"Maka, I can't stay here anymore. I'm sorry please don't hate me." said a green-eyed Kami Albarn. Although those same green eyes were glazed over in something... what was it... Maka pondered over it until it came to her... great sadness and hurt.

"Wh-What do you mean mama?" asked a confused, tired Maka.

"I mean I'm going away for a while. Mama and Papa aren't getting along right now. So, I'm leaving right now and headed for Canada. Good news though, I can finally travel the world like I've always dreamed.I won't be staying in Canada for long, so please stay with your father and be a good girl, okay?"

"Wait mom, you can't leave! What about me?" Maka almost screamed at her mother because of the shock of the moment. This was all so sudden. Well, not really, but who knew it would happen this soon!

"You and your father are moving to Death City to start a new life. I know you'll be happy." Kami said with a sad smile. "I love you Maka." And with that she gave her daughter a quick hug, picked up her suitcases and left the room. Maka was so lost. She heard the click of the front door closing and the start of a car. Instantly jumping out of her daze, she ran to the window and watched as her mother put her suitcases in the back seat of a rental car and hop in the front seat. Maka saw a single tear drop from her mother's face, and she was gone... away to Canada... away from Maka's father... and away from Maka.

Maka could barely get out muffled words so low you would have to be near to hear it.

"I love you too, mama."

End of Flashback

Maka had cried for forty-eight hours-straight after that. She was so upset. But she couldn't think about that now. Summer break was over and she was going to start at a new school today: Shibusen Academy. She had to be ready! Maka turned to her alarm clock and ceased the music's playing. 'Alright, first things first, pick out a new outfit for my first day as a Sophomore in high school. And I'm definitely going to make a goo-' Maka was stopped from her thoughts by knocking on her room door and a call from a certain red-head.

"Maka are you up. It's seven forty-five and school starts at eight thirty. Besides I made you breakfast." said a delighted Spirit Albarn.

Maka quickly recovered and made her way to her closet. She decided on a blue miniskirt, tight, white button up shirt, knee-high white boots. 'Simple, yet cute.' thought Maka. 'Oh! I almost forgot.' Maka picked up two blue pigtail holders and put her hair up in signature pigtails. 'Now it perfect!' Maka walked outside her room and quickly groaned at the sight that greeted her at seven fifty-five in the morning.

Her father had made breakfast for her and him, of course. But they weren't the only ones eating, Spirit Albarn had some cheap hooker sitting on the kitchen counter staring at him with lust in her eyes. If only she knew she would be thrown away like yesterday's Papa's-Little-Slut-Of-The-Day.

Suddenly Maka didn't feel too hungry didn't even notice her yet, so she took the opportunity to escape to the bathroom and brush her teeth. Once she came out, her man whore of a father finally looked her way.

"MAAAAKAAAAA! My precious little angel, you look so cute in your school-girl-outfit." Maka heart skipped a beat when she heard 'angel' come from his mouth. The song on her alarm clock came back to her full force. Rage filled her and the next words passed through her lips were only of rage. That one line filled her with so much rage.

You used to call me your angel

"What do you know about an angel. Nothing!" Maka paused and took a deep breath, trying to calm herself. It worked - halfway. "Nevermind, just leave me alone. I'm going to school." She quickly walked to the door and opened it, but then turned around and stated, "Don't forget to take the trash out before you leave." one quick look at the barely dressed woman and she was gone.

'Damn it, I'm already pissed on my first day of a new school. Stupid Papa!' Maka thought while angrily taking each step toward Shibusen Academy.
