Chapter 3-Music

     I was focusing on my drawing of the sunrise when I looked to my left and saw some people standing over me. It made me jump and wonder how long they were watching me. I closed my sketchbook, took off the headphone in my left ear, and stared at them. No one said anything, so I raised my eyebrow to see if that would prompt them to say anything.

     "What are you undoing up so early?" The one up front said. I think his name is Mattheo, but he also might be Tom, his twin. I don't know them well enough to tell them apart.

     I was about to write my answer to his question when the bell rang. Hearing it ring, I stood up and walked to my potions class.

     "Mate"

     I tried not to visibly flinch when Achys said that. I was still close to the group and didn't need them questioning why I jumped a little. I've been wondering if I was going to meet my mate. I really didn't want to, though. But now that my mate is someone in that group, I don't know what to do. That group is very popular, and if it's announced that I'm one of their soulmates or one of them goes missing, it will be obvious.

     The problem is Father will make me kill my mate because that's a weakness that they don't want me to have. And if he finds out I meet my mate, I don't want to know what will happen.

     I made it to the potion class and started helping Mis. Kent. Once I finished that, I finished any work I had and waited for class to start.

     When the room started filling up, no one saw that I was there because I had a corner seat, and the once who sat near me always cut it close to the bell.

     Or, more specifically, the group that my soulmate is in. I wonder if he, whichever playboy he is, notices that he is my soulmate. If he did, what will he do about it?

     It's lunchtime now, and I kept looking at everything around me with interest. Achys has been very aggravated ever since she knew what group my soulmate was in. I had to turn up my music just to keep her from taking control.

     I couldn't eat anything because of anything, and she was making me see sound waves, so being in or near the cafeteria. But sitting outside and seeing all the sound waves is fantastic.

     While sitting under a tree, I saw a group walking towards me. I kept looking at them until I realized they were the same group from the morning. I don't know why they're out here, but I don't think they know I'm out here, and I want to keep it that way.

     Looking back down at my sketchbook, I tried to zone out Achys' constant nagging to talk to them before I pointed out that they think I'm weird and will hate us when they find out what we've done and had been through. And will most likely call her a monster if they ever saw her.

     She was quiet after that before she agreed with me and apologized. I accepted it and looked down at the sketch I was working on. I would've kept working on it if a shadow didn't fall right on the page.

     Looking up, I saw it was Draco, Mattheo, Tom, Blaise, and Theo. I stared at them before Draco said, "Turned down the music, or at least get a better taste in music. Your music taste is almost as freaky as you."

     I nodded, turned down the music then watched them walk away. I couldn't tell what hurt more, but I don't think I wanted to be right about this prediction.
