Soulmates are Stupid: chapter one

16. 16 is when you're supposed to get your soulmate's voice. That didn't happen to Dan Howell. When Dan turned 16, he didn't hear the voice of his soulmate. Forgetting that a soulmate can be older, he assumed the person destined to be his was dead. 

The day he heard the voice was before Christmas Break during his first year of University. 

That boy, Dan, I think, is cute.

It made Dan flinch, hearing the voice. 

That isn't me, Dan concluded, stating the obvious. It couldn't have been his soulmate; his soulmate was dead. He knew from the Soulmate Elders that you cannot get a new soulmate, and it certainly not God telling his this. 

Dan was seated in the back of the class, where nobody was, so who could be whispering this the the Fallen Soul?

He shook off the thought, believing that it was his mind boosting confidence into his skull. Until he heard it again.

Too bad we aren't roommates. 

Then, Dan started to get worried. He was confused that he had finally heard his soulmate's voice. He looked at his left wrist, a little triangle shape, the shape like Delta, like the Greek uppercase letter. The Fallen--now Redeemed--Soul had recalled Peej and Chris telling Dan when they realized that they were soulmates, they had gotten an Omega symbol on their right wrists. What made Dan get his symbol on his left hand wasn't very peculiar. You get your symbol on the wrist of your writing hand. Square in the middle.

Dan thought of a response--because that is possible, you know. 

Can you stop talking about me in class. Jesus I am trying to learn.

He didn't want to yell at his soulmate, but he did to get the attention of the person.

Sorry, Dan

Dan sighed and continued looking at the the board at the teacher, Mr. Wilcox, teaching about Romeo & Juliet. The professors at University didn't care that they had already studied the play. Nobody did, to be exact.

Once in the safety of his dorm room with his roommate, Felix, Dan exploded.

"Felix," Dan said, trying to get the attention of the older Swed.

"Yeah, Dan?" Felix looked up from texting Marzia, his girlfriend and soulmate. 

"I think I heard the voice of my soulmate."

The Swedish-born put down his cell phone and looked at the younger boy. "What? I thought you were a Fallen Soul!"

"That's what I thought," Dan confessed. 

"Are you sure you heard someone?"

Dan nodded. "I think I was daydreaming, though."

"You might have been, Dan. If you were, I'm sorry."

Dan shrugged. "Good things don't always happen to good people."

Felix smiled solemnly before heading out of the room to the coffee machine.

Dan went to his desk and pulled his first assignment out of his bag and starting it. 

I would hear that voice again, Dan concluded. Probably.

A/N the chapters will be getting bigger and bigger but I wanted to keep this chapter in the exposition.
