The Lonely One Chapter 7 Crona Fan Fic

The Lonely One Chapter 7

    In the morning, Crona woke up and lay in her bed smiling to herself, rememberng what had happened the night before. She missed Kid's arms around her and wished that she could live that night over again and againg.
   She jumped up and realized that if she didn't get up soon, she would be late to school. She quickely dressed and ate breakfast with Soul and Maka. Blair had gone to Chupa Cobra's for work earlier that morning.
   Crona, Maka and Soul then started thir walk to school. On part of the route, Black*Star and Tsubaki always joined them. So Soul ran up to catch Black*Star and Tsubaki dropped behind to chat with Maka and Crona.
  "Good morning, Tsubaki!" Maka cheerfully grinned. "Good morning Maka, Crona!" Tsubaki giggled. Crona nodded her good morning silently, her mind elsewhere again.
   Tsubaki groaned. "You wont believe what Black*Star did yesterday." She threw her head back. Maka raised an eye brow. "What?" Maka could believe anything if it was Black*Star.
     Tsubaki laughed a bit. "Well, he wanted to train harder yesterday, so he tied his arms behind him and did everthing with his feet!" Maka and Tsubaki burst out laughing. "Th-that's not all!" Tsubaki had to stop herself from laughing harder. "Well, he tried to cook. He tried to cook PANCAKES!" Maka stopped and almost fell onto the ground. "If your lauging that hard now, wait! It gets better! He stood on a chair to reach the stove and poured the pancake mix all over the stove, getting the other half of the whole thing over filling the grittle!" She had to stop to catch her breath. Maka was on the ground. Crona just giggled a bit. "Yeah, so then he was holding the grittle with one foot. The chair slipped from underneath him, and the grittle and the stove top came crashing down with him!" Tsubaki couldn't stop laughing. All Maka could do on the ground was mutter through laughing fits. "No pancakes!" And she lay on the ground, unable to move.
   They eventually reached the DWMA and trudged up the stairs, still laughing. As the five of them reached the top of the stairs, the students mingling around had gone silent and were staring at them. Crona kind of shrunk back and squeezed between Maka and Tsubaki.
   "HA, I GUESS THEY ARE ALL THINKING ABOUT WHAT A BIG STAR I AM!" Black*Star shouted in his usual voice, with his hands on his hips and his knees were kicked high with every step. Tsubaki laughed at her partner's way of goofy walking.
   Upon hearing Black*Star, the crowd grew colder. They seemed to be staring right at Crona. She grabbed onto Maka's arm and closed her eyes. "It's fine Crona, they are probably just," Maka stopped. She didn't know what to say to comfort Crona. They just stared at Crona icily.
    Crona scrunched up her eyes tight trying to keep all of the gazes out. What did she do? She had done nothing to affect any of them!
    As the bell rang for first period, Maka, Tsubaki, Soul and Black*Star had gone to their own classes, leaving Crona toddling to her own class. A student approached her, it was a pretty girl. She came up behind Crona and pushed her to the ground. "Ahh!" Crona fell and her books scattered all over the floor. Crona tried to get up, but the girl stepped on the bottom of her black dress and flipped her hair. "What's wrong witch girl, can't get up?" She snickered and picked up one of Crona's missplaced books. "Here." She started to hand it to Crona, but instead dropped it onto Crona's head. "Ow!" Crona put her hands on her head and started to cry. The girl walked off with a group of her friends and laughed with them.
    "Here." Someone had held out their hand to Crona. It was Kid. She grabbed his hand and stood up. "Thanks Kid." She wiped her eyes with her sleeve. Kid began to pick up Crona's books. "You dont have to do that for me! You'll be late!" Crona began. Kid just continued. When he handed her the books, she said, "Thanks.." Crona took them and almost started to cry again. "What did I ever do to them? What did I do to get all those horrible stares?" Kid brushed some of Crona's hair from her face. "I heard some of them talking earlier today. I guess someone saw us last night and they started some stupid rumors." Kid looked sadly at Crona. "I'm sorry." He said. Crona shook her head. "It's not your fault." She hugged her books close to her. "Lets go to class." Kid and Crona had the same fist period class with Ms. Marie. The bell had just rang, and they were late, so the sprinted down the hall to their classroom. As they entered, they inturrupted Ms. Marie in the middle of a sentance. All of the students turned thier heads to look at them. They emidietly started snickering when they saw Kid and Crona together. Crona's face was red and Kid frowned. This was just perfect.
    "Hey guys, just take your seats!" Ms. Marie waved to them happily. Crona's legs almst buckled as all the eyes pierced her. She sat down quietly and opened up her book to the page that was indicated. Crona turned to her side to ask what they were doing. But she realized that the person sitting next to her was the girl who had pushed her over earlier. Crona quickely whipped her head arond, hoping that she didn't see her. The girl glanced sideways at Crona and smirked. Crona closed her eyes and tried to just listen to Ms. Marie.
   The girl scribbled stuff on a piece of paper. She placed the note in front of Crona and then stomped violently on her foot. "Ow!" Crona tried to sit that quietly, but Ms. Marie turned around. "Is something wrong up there?" Crona opened her mouth to deny it, but the girl kicked her hard and talked instead. "Crona is trying to pass me a note, but I told her not to pass notes!" She crossed her arms and made puppy dog eyes. Ms. Marie walked up to them and picked up the note in her hand. When she unfolded it, it clearly said, 'Ms. Marie sucks!' Her eye teared up. "C-Crona, I'd like to see you after school..." And she walked back to the board. Crona put her hand out before she could say 'Wait! I didn't write that!' But it was too late. Everyone in the class started to laugh at Crona. Her eyes got wet and she had to sit there for the rest of the class.
   After school, Crona was almost in tears. She had been taunted and teased so many times by the students of the DWMA. She had been pushed and pulled and mostly they had called her 'Witch Girl'. She slowly trudged to Ms. Marie's class room. She knocked on the door quietly. "Coming!" Ms. Marie opened the door. When she saw Crona, she frowned. "Come in..." She opened the door wider for Crona to walk in. She came in slowly, not wary of where she was putting her feet and tripped over the carpet. "Oh, careful!" Ms. Marie chided. "Sit here." She pulled up a chair and then another. Crona got up and sat down in the chair across from her teacher.
  "So, why did you write that note?" She asked Crona. Crona frwoned. "I didn't! I swear!" Marie raised an eyebrow. "Then who did?" She looked directly at Crona trying to detect any lies. "The girl sitting next to me! I promise!" Crona started to cry again. "All right, I believe you. We will let her get off for today." Marie sighed and started rubbing Crona's back. "You may go now." She whispered. Crona nodded and shuffled out of the class room. She looked like a zombie, drifting down the halls. She wished that everyone wouldn't laugh or tease her.
   As she walked down the long flight of stairs, Kid joined her. "Hi." Kid looked at her sadly. "How was it?" He asked. Crona shrugged. "She just believed me..." Crona sniffled. Kid thought for a moment. "If it makes you feel any better, I'be been teased a lot too." Kid tried to make Crona feel better, but it just did the opposite. She cried harder. "You dont have to love me any more if they tease you!" Crona stepped off the last stair and started running away. Kid caught his hand on her shoulder. "Crona." He was being serious. "I'll always love you."
