CHAPTER 6

(Lunch- Isobel's POV)

"Do you think he's going to sit with us?" I ask nervously once Ali and I sit at our usual lunch table in the cafeteria. I glance around searching for Kole and biting my lip. I can't help, but feel that he found out. What if he doesn't want me, what if he wants Ali? I don't know if I'll be able to handle that. But wait, if my necklace got hot that means his tattoo got hot too and that means he can't want anyone else, right? Okay I'm making myself even more nervous.

Ali took a bite into her sandwich and looked up. "He's coming this way" she says after swallowing and nervously looking at the table. Of course she'd get shy in a situation like this.

Kole sat down not looking at either of us. Gosh I just want to see his beautiful eyes. Wait, beautiful? Good lord I'm going crazy.

"Hey" I say trying to get him to talk to us. It's worth a shot.

He looks up and his eyes widen slightly. I bet I look bad, I look bad don't I. I look down at the table and return to pushing my salad around. "I- I know about the tattoo" he says quickly and rushes out of the cafeteria.

Shit. That definitely didn't go the way I'd hoped. Okay think Isobel. What can you do? Should you go after him or just ignore him for the rest of your life until the day comes when you get really lonely and have to marry him because he's your soulmate? Ok, what am I thinking!? This whole situation has got my mind really foggy and messed up.

"You know what Ali," I say while pushing my salad away and standing up, "For once in my life I'm gonna get off my ass and take a chance. I don't know what's gonna happen but I don't really care." Yup, that's right. Finally gonna do something daring.

Before I hear Alice's response, I run out of the cafeteria. Okay, where did he go!? If I was a guy that just found out my best friend is my soulmate, where would I be? Okay yeah I'm super weird. I walk towards the guys bathroom cause that's the first place I can think of.

"Kole," I say from outside, "Please come out. We need to talk." There's no way in hell I'm going in there. It's gross.

"Kole," I say after a few moments of silence, "Come on we have to talk through this." Okay seriously? I know it's weird but he can at least talk to me. You know what? I'm done being nice.

"Great," I say after barging through the door and locking it behind me, "Now that you can't go anywhere please talk to me!"

He just stood there and looked at me with wide eyes.

"Kole, please just talk to me! Please just don't ignore me, I can't stand when you ignore me" I whisper and wrap my arms around my waist now feeling a bit self-conscious.

"Fine," he says still not looking at me but running a shaky hand through his long blonde hair, "I can't deal with this Isobel. It's one thing to have a supernatural tattoo, but to have my best friend be my soulmate? I can't deal with it." Wow so that's it?

"Kole," I say while slowly walking towards him, "We're best friends. We can get through this together. It's really strange, I know. But if we ignore each other, nothing good will come out of it." I stare into his blue eyes, trying to let him know I mean what I say.

"Izzy," he says while pulling me into a bone crushing hug, "This is too much for me. I care about you so much, but not in that way. At least, I don't think it's that way."
