*Quick note that this is my first story, I simply published another before it, this is the first one I wrote. And it is going to get more intense, I'm writing several stories at once and seeing which is liked the most, and that will be my main focus. But don't worry I won't give up on any other ones.

Don't pick me. Don't pick me. Don't pick me. Maka couldn't help but plead inside her head. But she knew it was inevitable, she and him were the only ones left.

"Maka! You will be partnered will Soul. After all" The teacher stopped there and gave him a glare. "We need the responsible one partnered with the...troublemaker. All right thats it! You are all dismissed!"

Maka simply despised him, that Soul E. Evans, with those white hair and red eyes, he was the womanizer of the school, super handsome, super popular, and most of all, super DUMB. He almost failed grade six, or so Maka had heard. Grade 11 was super important, and he would only slow her down. Plus, she was already on a quest, she was the rival of Ox Ford, the other A+ student. To make matters worse, she wasn't naturally smart, she studied for every test like it was her final exam. She was literally nothing, she wasn't pretty, she wasn't smart, she was flat-chested, above all things.

"Hey." Maka looked up to see him in front of her, up in her face. She couldn't help it, her face went red, she wasn't used to people being so close. But she wasn't ever going to fall for him, she was proud of the fact that she wasn't one of the girls who fell for him at first sight. She watched as he leaned against the desk and put his hands into his pockets. Suddenly she felt a sudden wave of confusion, super cool Evans had never spoke to her before, what was he doing now? She decided that attack was the best defence.

"What do you want?" She asked in her coldest voice. She didn't want him in her life, everyone knew how big of a douche he could be.

He gave her that smile, that would make other girls melt, but didn't impress Maka. "Why, I just wanted to know if you needed any help with the books we're going to get for our report on those stupid sunspot cycles and stuff." He smirked. "I imagine we'll be getting alot, seems like a hard project, does it not?"

Maka rolled her eyes. "I doubt you'll do anything, so let me pick out my own books, all you need to do is learn how to read, because I'll be giving you your half to present."

Soul didn't look insulted, in fact his smirk got wider. "What if I just want to spend time with you? Like any man with some common sense would?"

Maka hated it but she blushed. She could feel her cheeks going pink, but she held her ground. "The only time I want to spend with you is when we getting to rub our A+ into Ox's face."

Soul's point of view.

Soul didn't react as she picked up her bag and scurried away. He didn't want to admit it (and he never would to anyone else, because if he did, what kind of cool guy would he be?), she was somewhat pretty, she was flat chested, yes, but he supposed he would have to go with that, he just needed to get up her skirt and then leave her. But he liked her green eyes, they were...different, he had never seen a girl who had such glowing eyes. To tell the truth, she was different, maybe he liked the fact that she didn't fall for him right away, or maybe he just liked her eyes. But no matter what she looked like, he was on a quest, he would make every girl love him, even the ones who wouldn't show it. Besides, he had seen the way she blushed, that made him one step closer to his victory. Soul started walking, he already guessed where she would be, but before he could make it, he was interrupted by the loud and annoying Black*Star.

"Hey Soul! You want to go out to the cafe, or you got another girl! Come on man lets go!" Without waiting for an answer Black*Star dragged him off. But Soul didn't mind, he could get her any time.

Just like Soul had said, at any time. Any time at all, as he found her at the cafe, sitting at a table alone, reading a book. But Soul pretended not to notice her, as Black*Star would mess everything up. And sure enough he did.

"Hey Soul! Isn't she that girl you're after?!" Soul punched him in the face, but Maka had noticed him already, she got up to leave but Soul got to the door first.

"Hey Maka." He tried to sound as cool as possible. "Um I was wondering would you like to go with me to like the library or something later, because I actually really would like to help with the project... I want to help you beat the Ox guy." He could see he had got her there with beating Ox, who had actually been his "friend" once upon a time, although all he really wanted were answers. And cool guys got what they wanted, he had got answers from the male nerd, and he was going to get love from the girl nerd, whether she knew it yet or not.

"I suppose when it means beating him... fine! We will work together this once, and this once only!" Soul could see that Maka said it like she meant it, but she didn't know that soon she would be his...if only for a short period of time.
