Selena's POV

I squeal. "LUUUUUMAAAAAA!" I scream to my sister, tearing through the lunchtime rush crowd. We're both weapon/meister hybrids, and we switch off using each other in battle. Our senses our heightened because of our relations to a witch.

And we're both huge SoMa fans.

I drag my sister into a secluded room and yell, "TSUBAKI TOLD ME THAT SOUL AND MAKA WANT TO GO TOGETHER! BUT THEY'RE TOO SHY OMG WE NEED A PLAN!" We start brainstorming. "Operation SoMa: Begin!"

"Okay, first things first: flirt with Soul in front of Maka to make her jealous!" My sister grins. "Are you saying that of your own self-interest?" I glare at her. "Oh, ha-ha. In your world, maybe that's actually funny!" Luma starts laughing. "Okay, okay! I get it! So when are we gonna do this?" she asks. I reply with my favorite word. "Now."

Since we were close friends to all of them, (except BlackStar the narcissist really pisses me off) we head to their lunch table. I was more of a loner; I like emo things. I basically stay away. From everyone. Luma is the only reason I know them. Luma is also the person who pulled me out of my depression a few years ago. The day after I felt angry enough to self-harm and waste a couple hundred of my trillions of blood cells, she figured it out. She was the only one who found out. And since then, I've learned to appreciate the little things she does to show she cares.
I've developed strong bonds with most of the crew, except for BlackStar, the idiot, and Liz, who I'm good enough with, but I can't tolerate the girly aura that she takes with her everywhere. However, I mostly just keep my distance, only to get involved when a ship needs to be sailed. I already successfully paired Kim and Ox and Blackstar and Tsubaki.

As I approach the table with Luma, a sneaky grin appears on my face. We sit. "So, what's up, you guys?"

I look around at the table at their expressions. I secretly smile to myself when Luma whispers faintly, knowing I would heard because of my keen ears, "I can tell they're all thinking,

'Oh, who's getting paired this time?'"
