"What's wrong, Professor Stein?" I asked, feeling slightly nervous.
"You have been acting quite strange lately, Maka. You don't look so well either. Soul also has been worried. Is there something you'd like to tell me?" I cringed.
"No, I'm fine, really. Just had trouble sleeping lately, with the trouble we have been having with Arachnophobia... them getting hold of the BREW and all..." at this moment someone approached us.
"Oh, here you are, Maka..."
Thank god. It was Crona.
"Hm? Oh, hello there, Crona. Right, I promised you a study session, didn't I?"
From the corner of my eye I saw Stein twisting his screw.
"Yeah, but you look like you're busy..." He glanced at Stein.
"Don't worry, I was just leaving. Have fun studying!~" Professor then turned and lighted his cigarette, walking away."
"...I think he's suspecting something." Crona hung his head and clutched his elbow.
"M-maybe we should tell somebody..."
Suddenly we were both squezzed in a tight hug from behind.
"What would you like to tell? You know you can tell your god everything! Don't worry, I won't tell anybody!~ It 's kinda obvious though, with how you have been acting..." He nughed me in the side.
"Huh?"
I felt myself panicking.
If Black*Star noticed something was wrong here, then probably everyone had! I can't think what would my mother think of me if she knew that I...
"C'mon! Tell me the details!"
Okay. Now I don't know what he's talking about.
"What details? What are you talking about?" I kneeted my brows together.
"You're dating, right?" My jaw hit the floor.
"Uh, eh, what?"
I was at a loss for words.
"Well, as I said, my mouth is shut. See you in class lovebirds!" He let go and started strolling down the hallway.
"I'm going to chop him so hard if he tells anybody!"
What was he thinking, it's obvious we're not together...right?
"That's actually a great excuse..." I cringed at the voice.
"It wuldn't be suspicious if you spend time together." Crona looked very nervous.
"I don't know how to deal with that."
Me neither. But I guess it wouldn't be so bad, really. And indeed, it would explain our behaviour.
It wouldn't be good if the conversation from today happened again. That was too close.
Still, it would be quite emabarassing. Yet it's better than the actuall truth. Judging by Crona's face, he thought the same.
"You should now go and share the "big news". You will act your role for a while and when they consider it normal, we will proceed with the plan. They'll never know what hit them."
The smirk in the voice was evident. I felt the presence slip away. Then Crona started trembling.
What if they find out anyway? They already know that there's a spy in the school. They probably suspect Crona- with his connections to witches.
But I? A father Death Scythe, mother legendary meister, myself a perfect student. There are other suspects anyway.
Stein for example. It would appear, that he killed BJ.
He claimed to be at his lab at the time, but it wouldn't be surprising if he simply forgot due to his madness.
That's what everyone thinks anyway. Thanks to my "resorces" I know better.
Also, recently, Justin Law went missing.
Along with Kim and Jaqueline. Not much is known about Justin, I don't think many noticed him beeing gone.
I'm more worried with Kim and Jackie. They aren't really suspects, they're "children" after all.
Death probably knew about Kim for a long time, just didn't render it dangerous.
They fell into Arachnophobia's hands. I don't know the details, but it's better than not knowing.
I'd love to tell everybody, but I can't...obviously. I grinded my teeth together. If I had been more cautious, none of this would happen.
I shook my head. It's not the time for me to go over something I can't change.
Crona looked at me.
"Let's go then..." I nodded and started walking towards the class.
This was going to be a rough week.
...I don't know how to write, sorry. I would really appreciate some help with spelling for example. There are bound to be some.
I have a vague idea of how this story will go, but I will update it very seldom.
Thanks for reading!
Edit as of October 29th, 2017: I will be slowly rewriting the chapters, and (hopefully) writing more.
