Anyways, it’s Liam, I was kinda wondering if maybe you wanted to go to the Halloween dance together? That is if you aren’t already going with someone else, uh but yeah, respond when you get the chance.
Anyways, it’s Jack, I was kinda wondering if maybe you wanted to go to the Halloween dance together? That is if you aren’t already going with someone else, uh but yeah, respond when you get the chance.
I sigh.
Jack isn’t a bad guy, quite the opposite really, he’s incredibly nice. I was kinda hoping to be dateless this dance, but I don’t want to say no, it just seems kinda rude, I don’t exactly know why.
Sometimes I wish I could tell people they have soulmates, it would make life incredibly easier.
For instance, Jack has a string connecting him to Katie.
Now if I were to tell them I know for a fact that they’re soulmates I run the risk of people considering me insane, and being locked up in a mental hospital.
See the issue?
It is a giant, staring me in the face each day, elephant sized, issue.

Sure, I’d love to go with you 
I type back, I know we’re not soulmates so we probably won't hit it off or anything.
Chances are we’ll go out, dance to a few songs, and will have a decent time, then continue on with our lives in awkward sidewalk-tangos in the school halls..

There’s a beep and I open the IM I have with Katie.
Can we go to the dance together? You, me, and Joseph? I don’t want him to see me there alone.
I may not have told her about the strings but she is the only person I have ever told about my crush on Joseph.
Yeah, I’m fine. Are you? I’ll go to the dance with you, though.
Thanks! You’re a lifesaver! And try not to worry, Cadence Thompson is Joseph's type.
I'm trying to comfort you, stupid.
Well I gotta go, thanks for agreeing to go to the dance with me. And remember, you and Joseph are meant to be, Cadence Thompson doesn’t stand a chance against you, you two are soul mates.
I know Katie's just trying to comfort me but those words sting like salt in an open wound. ‘Meant to be’ ‘soul mates’ ‘with Joseph’. I wish.
Oh yeah, I understand, no worries.
