"Lunch is almost over. I gotta go. See you around, Dustin," Luca said, closing his book and standing.
"What's happening?" Dustin hissed at his teacher, who was watching with a bemused expression.
"He's your soul mate, isn't he? You saw something. But he didn't," she murmured. "That means that he's meant for someone else or he doesn't want to know you."
Dustin set his jaw, wondering why he already felt territorial of Luca.
You're acting stupid, he told himself. Just because he's your soul mate doesn't mean he belongs to you. Yet.
The yet made Dustin pause.

Dustin watched the doorway of the classroom, anxiously tapping his foot. Over the past two class periods, things slowly faded to full colour.
When Luca stepped in the doorway, Dustin almost jumped up. But another boy, one with hair the colour of the sun and eyes the colour of the sky, intercepted him.
Adam, Dustin growled to himself.
The two talked easily, and Luca laughed. Dustin frowned.
Maybe he didn't know Luca, fine. But soul mates... They were supposed to fall in love, weren't they...?
But then again, Dustin had never fallen in love before. Not since... her.
