The Lonely One Chapter 1 Crona Fan Fic

The Lonely One Chapter 1

PHEEET! Nygus blew the whistle for Maka to run. It was gum and they were doing timed running and they had to run 20 meters each.
     Maka sprinted the 20 meters easily. Maka skidded to a halt on the stop line, breathing hard. Nygus stopped her watch.
    "4.23 seconds. Great job! Okay, next, Crona is up." Maka made a fist and smiled. But upon hearing her friend's name, she put it down and looked at Crona sympatheticaly. Then, Crona, seeing Maka's face, tensed up and started to frown, so Maka quickly held up her thumbs and smiled. Crona shakily smiled back.
   Crona stepped up carefuly to the start line. Nygus blew the whistle again for Crona to start running. Crona then covered her ears and closed her eyes at the loud sound.
    "Go Crona!" Maka cheered her on. Crona looked shakily around, She stared running to the end of the line. She touched it with her foot. Nygus raised her eye brows. "8.0 seconds..." Crona hung her head. That was the worst score in the whole class, with Black*Star having the highest of them all. He had 2.19 seconds. Crona tried to make herelf smaller. She closed her eyes to get away from all the staring faces bruning upon her.
   Maka placed her hand on Crona's shoulder. Crona squeaked and balled her fists, raising them to her chest. "Oh, I'm sorry Crona!" Maka giggled.
     Nygus blew the whistle again for another student to go. Again, Crona squeaked and put her hands over her face. "Aw, it's okay, Crona!" Maka bent down to be by Crona's face. Some students snickered at Crona's jumpiness. Maka whipped around and gave them icy glares. They shut up, but were still smirking. Maka sighed. No one could understand what Crona had to go through as a child, abused by her horrible witch mother, Medusa.
   Crona peeked out from her fingers. She then flung herself on Maka, wrapping her arms around her, tears rolling down her face. "Why doesnt anyone understand!?" Crona wailed. Maka held her closer. "I do Crona, I do." Maka hugged her close, feelinga little embarrased because all the other students were watching Crona's unusual breakdown.
    Crona buried her face into Maka's shoulder. Nygus walked over to them. "Why dont you two go get changed and head to class?" Nygus was used to Crona being like this. "Thanks, NygusSensei." Maka smiled at her "Come on, Crona." Maka pulled Crona off and took her hand. Crona followed timidly.
    After everyone had changed into their regular clothes and were heading to their fifth period classes, Crona was alone and she was walking to her class. Someone aproached her from behind. "Ah!" Crona whipped around. Kid was there, his usual standing stance. Crona tensed, she wasnt really used to others approaching her, they usually avoided her...
    Kid spoke. "Hm. What was your timing today again?" He grinned. Crona blushed. "Um, uh, I think it was just 8.0, um yeah." She grasped her arm again and looked at her feet. Kid clapped his hands together. His face blushed up, like it does when he sees someting symmetrical. "8! What a most perfect number, indeed!! I always try for it, but I always end up getting 7, darn it!" Kid looked ready to pass out. "How did you get such a perfect score?" Kid still looked day dreamy.
   "Well, uh, I didnt really, um i mean, try to get that score.. it was really bad.." She looked to the side, searching for Maka. Kid took Crona's hands in his. "You must teach me how to get 8! I strive to make this world symmetrical, and I need your help! Please help me. But I understand if you dont want to, seeing how I'm such asymmetrical trash..." Kid hung hes head. Crona's face flared, not used to having anyone else touch her exept when Maka held her hand or Ragnarok beat her. Not even once did Medusa touch her, only sent her flying with her vector arrows when she ws angry about whatever.
   "Um, uh, w-w-" Crona stuttered. "Hey!" Maka's voice sounded from behind Kid. "What are you doing to Crona?" Maka had her hands on her hips. "Ah!" Startled Crona pulled her hands away and put them over her eyes again. "Ug. Kid! What were ou doing, scaring Crona like this?" Maka took out a book and raised it in the air over Kid's head. "Makaaaaaaaaaaa, CHOP!" Maka brought it down right on top of Kid's head. He sank to the ground, his eyes tearing. "Oh, come on Kid. That didn't hurt that much." Maka rolled her eyes. Kid fumbled with his words. "B-but, you h-hit me on one side of my head. Not the middle. Please! Hit the other side of my head too!" Kid was on his knees, pleading. "Please, please, ah, ah?"
    Maka sighed. She raised the book again. "Makaaaaaaaaaa, CHOP!" This time she hit just a centemeter to the left of the center of his head. "Oh, thank you, now I will get symmetrical bruises instead of an asymmetrical one! I can live with that!" Kid bounced off hapily. Maka sared, dumbfounded.
    She shook her head and turned back to Crona. "So are you okay Crona?" Maka smiled. "Y-yeah, I guess." Crona was still blushing. "Was he mean to you?" Maka frowned. Crona shook her head. "Good, now lets get going to class!" Maka grabbed Crona's hand and started off.
