If We Fall (A SoMa Fan-Fiction)

No Ones Burden

A/N: I know, I'm so very terrible. I just haven't had it in me to write this chapter for soooo long. I know what you think, excuse after excuse but I just didn't have time and when I did have a minute to spare, I was either too lazy or having writers block. I know I promised this chapter would be better but it's a bit horrid. Ughhh sorry guys! I do however have another SoMa in the process so maybe that makes up for it a little bit ? ;')

No One's Burden

<><><><><><><>

Making our way up the many flights of stairs leading to the school, Soul and I stayed in a comfortable silence. I had too much on my mind to talk to anyone without getting distracted anyways. I knew I needed to get in the right head space seeing as I was now at school, but I just couldn't seem to concentrate.

"Oi Maka," Soul interrupted my train of though "you gonna keep walking or just stand there all day?"

"Wha-" I began to stutter before I realised Soul was already waiting at the door to get inside and I still at the end of the stairs. "sorry."

I shook my head to try and clear my mind and hurried to catch up with Soul. The halls were crowded as usual, causing a frown to settle on my face. I always hated getting separated from Soul in a crowd. Thankfully, his white hair always had him standing out. I trailed after him as we entered our first class. Per usual on a Monday, we would have Sid a lot for our classes.

The bell rung just as I had taken my seat next to Tsubaki and Black Star. Soul seated himself on the other side of me and already began to doze off. I started to think he didn't have a enough sleep last night because I had disturbed him by crawling into his bed. Guilt instantly flooded through me. It was probably my fault for being such a fool. I couldn't contemplate how I had been so childish.

"Maka," Tsuabki whispered, snapping me out of my never ending thoughts "everyone has darted working and your just staring off into space. Are you feeling ok?"

"Oh yeah thanks Tsubaki," I smiled, hurriedly picking up my pencil and writing down what was on the board behind Sid "I'v just been a little distracted lately. Im fine though, I promise."

Feeling awful after lying to Tsubaki always came quickly but I had to deal with it. I wanted to say I wasn't fine. That I was actually frightened for everyone around me and myself. That I couldn't even do simple tasks anymore without becoming lost in my mind and forgetting everything. I couldn't though. I didn't need to worry Tsubaki or Black Star who would over hear if I said anything. I knew they had a mission coming up and they certainly didn't need to be concerned over me.

Soul looked at me skeptically for a minute before sighing and mimicking the rest of the classes actions. After about three pages of notes on techniques for hunting witches, I was more than ready to leave this class. I continued to mentally complain about how badly my hand was cramping up until the bell rang again.

Jumping up from my seat instantly, I gathered my things and rushed towards to door. I knew this period was going to be our truing sessions. Which basically translated into a free period where everyone either gossiped or actually worked on their techniques with their partners.

"Could Maka Albarn and Soul Eater make their way to Lord Deaths office," an all too familiar voice said over the p.a system "also, daddy loves you Maka."

I cringed as a few students started to giggle. He couldn't just act like a mature adult for a few seconds could he? My cheeks heated up as Soul laughed at my discomfort.
