My other half

What just happened

Well shit...

7th period just started and I didn't study for my test AT ALL!! I wrote "Renee" at the top of my math test about 10 minutes ago and have so far managed to doodle 3 flowers, a cat, and a taco, all the while not having answered a single question. In other words, I'm completely screwed.

I decided to let myself stare out the window for the remaining 34 minutes of class and just ask for a retake. I leaned over to my friend Mara to ask about our Saturday shopping trip. Mara was pretty, she had gorgeous blue-grey eyes, fair skin, freckles, and light brownish blonde wavy hair that reached a few inches past her shoulder. We use the term "clean brown" to describe her hair color, it's like the opposite of dirty blonde. I, however looked like a train wreck. Well, at least today. Today i was a pasty white in contrast to my dead brown eyes and horrid under eye bags. My once cute, childhood freckles had faded to a light dusting around my nose and my hair... well, it almost looks like if you threw a wet beaver and the nest of a rabid squirrel of my head. Mr. Marshall, our math teacher, caught me trying to talk to Mara and immediately ripped up my doodle covered test and sent me into the hallway, the pen in his hand already itching to write a detention.

Finally the bell rang to call an end to 7th period so I could go meet Henry at his locker. Henry was my boyfriend. He was about 5 inches taller than me, was skinny with no real defined muscle, had tan skin, blue eyes, and god awful hair that was surprisingly similar to his skin tone. As I rounded the corner to the hallway a saw another girl pressed up against his locker. Well, pinned is a better word considering he had her wrists locked above her head and they were sucking face. I walked up to him and poured my newly filled water bottle over his head.

"Considering the boys locker room is closed I figured I'd give you a cold shower myself!" I said with very obvious fake cheer.

He gasped and blubbered for a short while as I sped to my next class. Was I heart broken? No. Did it hurt? Yeah. Would I get over it? In a heartbeat. See, the thing about boyfriends is that they're always temporary. I knew that Henry and I would break up because our pendants didn't match... AT ALL. The reason I got pissed at him for cheating on me was because the girl he was kissing had already found her half. She'd only found him yesterday so word hadn't spread yet, but she told me minutes after. Also, once a cheat, always a cheat, so I hope i had done is other half a favor. He didn't pin her against the locker to be passionate. He did it so she couldn't get away long enough for me to see them. As I entered the girls locker room I almost screamed.

A guy, half naked, was going through my gym locker wearing nothing but a towel.

Now don't get me wrong he was HOT!!! He had VERY well defined muscles, a perfect bronze skin tone, dark brown, almost black hair, striking blue eyes, and currently the SEXIEST smirk in the world.

"Like what you see?" He questioned, never dropping his smirk... or my gym shorts.

"And if I do?" I replied. What was I thinking?!?! There's a man dressed in only a towel going through your locker and your going to COMPLIMENT him?!?! The next thing I knew my gym shorts were tossed on the ground and my arms were pinned to my sides by a very hot, very good smelling man. Dammit I need to start thinking straight!!

He brought his lips just inches from my neck and whispered, "We could arrange for you to see more."

I could feel his breath on my neck and it almost drove me crazy. When I heard giggling coming from the hallway I finally came back to my senses.

"Actually, I'd rather not have random, half naked strangers rummaging through my clothes like they're at a garage sale so, if you could leave that'd be great."

"Nah, I like it here," he said, "I think I'll stay a while."

His cologne smelled so good I almost drooled on him...almost. Instead I slapped him across the face.

"Ow! What the hell was that for?!" he bellowed

"For making me tardy! This is all your fault. I swear I will strangle you if I get a detention."

"Now, babe, is that any way to treat your other half?" he replied, resuming his cool facade.

"Excuse me?!" well, actually now that he mentioned it my pendant did feel warmer, they do that when they get close to their missing half. He snapped his half of the locket to mine and it fit perfectly, creating a heart made of two angel wings.

Well shit...
