Sapnap's birthday

The party died down after six hours, after all the pizza and games were played we sat and chatted. It got to the point where it was ten past eleven and we'd run out of things to talk about, so we just sat in my room in silence, comfortable just with everyone's presence. All of my friends were here, Clay ( or as we like to call him Dream), George, Eret, Wilbur and of course Karl.

I stole a glance at Karl, seeing he was placing his headphones into his ears, tucking some of his fluffy brown hair out of the way. His eyes met mine, hitting me with his signature wide smile. I smile back, feeling the blush come up onto my cheeks. I'd had a crush on Karl for four years, when I met him in grade nine, our last year of middle school. ( I'm from Canada, this is just how our schools work.) We instantly clicked, and my crush on him came straight away and soon I would find out if he was my soulmate or not. I've always hoped it would be him, but now it would be the year I can find out. I just didn't expect it to be this soon.

Out of nowhere, this noise started playing. I searched around the room looking for something that could make this hitting noise.

" Sapnap? What are you looking for?" Dream asks me.

" Do you hear that?" I wonder.

" Hear what?" George says before Dream gets a chance.

" It sounds like a drum." I tell them heading to my table to play the beat of the drum noise.

" Drums, are you hearing a song perhaps?" Eret inquires clearly curious in the conversation now.

As I thought about Eret's comment the more I heard the song. There was definitely someone singing.

" Yes." I answer, a massive smile forming on my face. I'm hearing my soulmate's song. This is the start of me finding my soulmate! I didn't expect to be hearing it this soon, let alone on the day of my birthday. I tried to listen to the lyrics to see what the song is but before I could, the music stopped.

" What's going on?, why's Sapnap so happy?" Karl states, having his headphones in his hands instead of his ears.

" Sapnap's hearing his soulmate!" Eret says, waving jazz hands at me for more effect.

Before Karl could react I went over and snatched his headphones, placing them on my ears.

A song starts playing in my ears, the same beat coming into my ears again. I smile again, this can't be just a coincidence right? I take them off, placing them on Karls ears, hearing the song play again. His face shows pure shock, then his smile comes again finally realizing what I was on about.

We both stare at each other smiling. both hearing the song Sweater weather playing.

" You're my soulmate." we say in sync.

The room around us turns into shock.

" What!?" I hear George say.

" Are you kidding me!?" Wilbur says with a sign, probably pissed that he still hasn't found his yet and I found them on the day of my birthday.

" Congrats!" Eret adds.

We both smile and look at the rest of the group, my happiness radiating off of my whole body, Karls my soulmate, mine! I let that settle in for the rest of the night, letting the party end with happiness all around.

September 28 - 11:33 am -  Monday

And that's where we are now, six months later. My life's been great. Karl and I have been together for four months now and it's been wonderful. If I'm honest nothing could have been better. My grades were normal, me and my friends have been hanging out more and of course lots of Minecraft was put into my system. So I've been having a great summer break, but it's now school again, we started grade 11 on September third so we've been in school for almost a month.

I look up from my desk, to see a math equation being written up on the board by my teacher, Mr. Wheeler then stares at all of us with his sparkling brown eyes, clearly way too happy to be teaching a bunch of teenagers about algebra.

He scans the room looking for someone who will answer the question. His eyes land on me for way too long to feel safe then moves to the next person, eventually picking some kid sleeping in the far back. I sigh, thankful for him not picking me. If I'm honest I don't remember anything on this subject, which means I'm going to have to go ask Karl to teach me all about it again. ( Even though I'm gonna just stare at him the whole time, not paying any more attention than I did in class.)

I look over to the front of class to see Karl listening intently to Mr. Wheelers lesson, I can just see his side profile, his grey eye's gleaming form the morning light coming in through the windows blinds, he's wearing his normal colour block hoodie, with the green swirl in the middle, with just some plain jeans. While I'm over here wearing a black long sleeve underneath a plain white shirt, and just black pants, It has just been the style I stuck with since seventh grade.

I look back over to the board, starting to pay attention, I mean I should so I don't have to ask Karl for help. While Mr. Wheeler goes off about how to solve the new math equation on the board, I start to hear something, there was a fast pacing beat, and a voice coming through. I smile, a song. My eyes wander to Karl, my smile falters, Karl's not wearing headphones and I for sure know he doesn't own Air pods, so what's creating the song? The other students don't seem to hear anything, so why am I hearing a song? Is Karl hearing a song too? The song played through, without me finding any answers. When it finally finishes I see Karl look over at me, he then gets a confused look on his face and looks back to the front. Did we both hear the song? Or was it just me? What's going on?

Soon enough the bell rings and everyone heads out to lunch, I stay back and give Karl a wave over to me.

He comes over once everyone's gone.

" Did you hear a song?" He asks while walking up to me, an uncertain look on both our faces.

My face probably shows how surprised I am, " You too?"

He lets out a sigh of relief. " Oh thank prime! I thought for a second I had a different soulmate." he then does one of his signature giggle's " Wouldn't that be funny?"

I do a little short laugh. " Ya, but why did we both hear a song then?"

He shrugs. " I don't know.... But I guess the library would have some answers!" He adds excitedly.

" Why don't we go and check?" I ask him.

Instead of answering me he grabs my hand and pulls me away. Let's just hope the library has some answers.

Hopefully.
