When you are 18, everyone must take the red string test to find their soulmate. The test isn't optional, there is no skipping

Virgil's brain racked as he took the red string test, knowing that his future soulmate won't like him

His best friend Roman meanwhile was hoping that his soulmate isn't a girl and is instead Virgil. Roman knew that every girl in this room was hoping to be his soulmate

The clock stopped at 3pm, the test was finally over and their results will be sent via a red string, true to its name

Virgil's string arrived, immediately latching onto his thumb. The Emo got pulled harshly out of his apartment building and into the hallway, later leading him outside the complex

The string zigged and zagged as he tumbled down the street, Virgil was going too fast to recognize his location

Then he caught a glimpse of his intended destination. A theater marquee with bright, shiny stage lights all around the white board

Virgil's string tugged him further and further into the aisles, he tried to pull back as he was forced on stage but was unsuccessful as velvet red curtains flew into his eye-shadowy face

He got lead up a small black staircase, taking Virgil backstage of the local theatre. His string took him down a multitude of hallways before stopping at a single white door with a nameplate star

Virgil was standing in front of Roman's dressing room door where he could hear his best friend doing tongue twisters and vocal warmups, also hearing the buzz from a tea maker and the ceramic clink of a mug

Virgil took a deep breath and knocked on the door, hesitation and anxiety filled him as the handle was turned and the door was opened

{Roman}
Hey Virgil! What are you doing here? There's no props to be made or set to be designed

¥Virgil¥
Oh, sorry I thought that I was needed today

He obviously but not that obviously lied

{Roman}
It's ok! Can you stay? I'm the only one here besides you anyways, I come here alone to practice singing and the occasional belting so it would be nice to have an audience member

¥Virgil¥
I uh have to pick up somethings I left back in the wings yesterday so I'm going to make sure they weren't stolen

Virgil tried to walk away but his string pulled him back to Romans door. He tried again, Virgil was still standing in front of Romans door. A third and few times later, Virgil wasn't able to "make sure his things in the wings from yesterday wasn't stolen by the janitors"

{Roman}
Where's your red string on your finger?

Virgil shoved his hand into his hoodie pocket

¥Virgil¥
What red string?

Roman used his hand to get Virgil's hand out of his pocket, seeing that their strings connect

{Roman}
We're-

¥Virgil¥
Soulmates...

{Roman}
Wooo!! Thank the stars you're not female!!

¥Virgil¥
You're honestly happy that I'm your soulmate....no one could ever want me, let alone someone who lives by themselves after his biological parents left him and was taken in by this nice man who ran an orphanage until he died and his daughter took over to kick out the orphans to make a luxury living space for herself. I'm messy and broken and scared and anxious, Ro admit it that you don't want me
