"Ari?" Lucas said looking down at me with kind eyes which had so much emotion mixed into his brown orbs. "What happened? Why did you start panicking?" He was worried about me I know that but I didn't want to tell him.

I looked down at the floor of the hallway. "Nothing just a run of the mill panic" I gave a small but fake smile but we both knew I was lying however I guess he figured I didn't want to talk about it and dropped it.

"So today is the test..." He said with a frown looking away from my face.

The test he was referring to was the soulmates test, basically we are going to be able to see our red string for a hour or so and figure out whom are soulmate is.

I didn't really care for it as I don't plan on getting with my Soul mate unless I love them truly.

"Yeah but don't worry about it. I'm sure you'll have an awesome Soul mate" Lucas frowned more at my statement. Had I upset him by brushing off the test like that.

He started to say something but unfortunately for me he was mumbling too much and I was unable to hear his comment "What was that sorry?" I asked hoping to get a reply from him.

But he just smiled and started walking to the class.

I quickly caught up to him, while we walked there was an comfortable silence which we both seemed to enjoy.

And just in case you were wonder school hadn't started meaning that not many students we gathered in the halls. So yay!

"So have you finished your part for the project. It's due this week you know" he said as we entered our first class.

"Almost. It's such a stupid project though. Why is everything in this life determined by soulmates, and who created the idea of soulmates in the first place!" I ranted setting down my bag on my desk.

"I know but it's what we have to live with... You're not the only one who disagrees with them" he said sadly looking away.

"What do you mean?" He had never mentioned not liking soulmates I always thought he was pro soulmates.

"It doesn't matter" he avoided eye contract as he sat in his chair brushing off the comment.

"Yes it does... you can tell me these things you know" I guess finding out he was hiding something this from made me think about the person he wanted to find.

"You wouldn't understand Ari..." He looked away again with a sad expression.

He.... He didn't trust me with these things.

"You stop being friends with Lucas and I won't tell him what happened right now" Amorette's offer popped into my head.

Maybe he could trust her...

Maybe he would be happy being with her....

My heart started aching for some unknown reason.

This seemed so petty but it meant a lot to me.

He meant a lot to me.

Suddenly my body started moving towards the door and down the hall not looking back at the classroom.

I needed to think about this.

Around 20 minutes of me thinking while wondering around the halls the bell rang.

Pretty much forcing me back into the classroom and next to him.

But at least I had the test to sit through to decide on what I'm going to do.

The teacher was already in the classroom by the time I had gotten back.

"Welcome students to my favourite test to sit through. I asume you all know how this is going to work so when I call your name please come to the front"

He was going to give us a shot which was going to reveal our strings and it also doubled as a antibiotic so medicine, yay?

A couple of students went up had their shots and tried to follow the direction of the string.

"Ember-Wood, Arianna!" My teacher called me up. Better get this over with I strolled up and took the small needle's pain and saw my string appear suddenly.

Normally we don't get to see our strings till we're 21 but since the cursed population has slightly increased the government wanted us to start looking at a young age.

Anyway I looked at the direction of my string and to my shock it lead to someone in my class.

You'll never guess who...

...Colin Franklin.

You guys remember him. That moron who bumped into me the day I meet Lucas.

The one who I've know since nursery and one of my fake friends.

Yeah let's just say I wasn't the happiest but I just sat down and acted like I didn't care.

But I did because the second he saw this he was going to make a scene and it would bring so much attention towards me.

I shot a quick look at Lucas who looked as if he was about to cry out of sadness I was worried about him. He wasn't himself.

"Franklin, Colin"

Here it comes.

He looked at his string and then at me with a mad expression on his face.

"What the hell!!!! Why is my Soul mate the fricking cursed weirdo!" The whole class turned towards me as I looked down at my table.

Colin stomped over to my desk staring daggers at me.

I muttered a small I'm sorry under my breath as he continues to yell about this not being fair and I was going to ruin his life.

I kept on seeing Lucas in the corner of my eye getting madder and madder as Colin continued to scream like a baby.

Lucky for all of us the teacher demanded that he sat down and continued to go on with the test.

I was staring down at my red string connected to my index figure and honestly I wanted to cry.

At least I know how the person felt about me now instead of later.

"White, Lucas" Lucas was called but he didn't look happy.

His head was down and eyes coated in a layer of depression. He took the shot and sat down without even looking.

The rest of class were able to walk around and look for their connection but I didn't since I've already found mine.

Lucas stayed too but he never spoked to me. He just looked at his desk mumbling to himself.

Well he did that until the one and only Amorette came to the door way and started talking to him.

After 5 minutes she ended up dragging him out of the classroom giving me a death stare before she left.

Well I've just made up my mind.

If I really care about him....

I've got to let him be happy with Amorette.

I was going to give him up to her.
