Soul Mates?

You did not just do that! (1)

People say that once you meet your other half that all your problems will go away. Yeah right.
"Laylaaaaaaaaaaaa," my brother or should i say bother, yells from the kitchen.
"What Wyatt!?" I yell back from my bedroom.
"You leave now or you're walking!!"
"I'd rather walk than get in that speedtrap that you call a car!!"
With that i hear the door slam and i pull out my phone. Today is saturday and there's this huge party at this huge abandoned mansion where every month a bunch of kids meet up and see if they can meet their "soul mate" or "mate" for short me and my 3 best friends...Anabelle-the innocent looking fierce one kate-the fun dramatic one and last but definately not least Anastasia, the blonde moment queen. Everyone hopes to find their one true match, I unfortunately haven't been so lucky as to find mine but Anabelle and Ana  have. Ana is with Jason who is in to theater and band, while Anabelle who is with Brady, he is more of an archery person and outdoorsy. Kate and I are the only ones left.
Hey chicas who's ready for the partay!!!! I text
Kate- Who says 'partay' anymore?
Anastasia- I do!!!
Kate- Well that's weird.
Anabelle- Are we going or not??
Duhhhhhh i respond
Anastasia- who's carpooling today??
I'll pick you guys up in 5 :)
I grab my bag and keys and head out to the driveway. Hopefully this time we'll find our mates. I start the car and head next door, that's right we all live in the same neighborhood and all live next to eachother, our parents were best friends in highschool and are still really close, so i pull up to Anastasia's then over to Anabelle's then Kate's.
We pull into the driveway of the mansion and my blue gem starts glowing...my soul mate is here.
"Hey look mine is glowing too!" Kate squeals.
"Yay," I say
We walk in and immediately my gem starts pulling me to the kitchen while Kate's pulls her to the basement. Once I reach the kitchen I see a guy sitting on the counter with a blue gem hanging from his neck that is slightly glowing while he's staring down into the contents of his drink. His electrifying blue eyes boldly stand out because of his jet black hair and slightly ever so slightly tan skin.
"Um hey I'm Layla," I say quietly brushing my strawberry blond hair out of my face.
"The name is Cole, nice to meet you mate," he says it with such disgust.
"And I had high hopes for my soul mate, turns out he's just a asshat," (remember kids it's not cussing when you're referring to the actually donkey -John Green) With that I walk away, leaving him with his no doubt alcoholic drink. I find Anabelle and Brady sitting outside chatting and Anastasia and Jason near by while Kate is talking to a blonde with green eyes and tan skin, big contrast to her brown hair blue eyes and pale skin. I walk over and say hey and find out his name is Caden.Turns out I'm not a big party person.
