Simon's POV

     I wake up the next morning feeling shitty as usual.  I look to the left, expecting to see Baz peacefully sleeping.  Instead, his bed is neatly made and there is no sign of him.

     I don't know why he got so defensive when I asked him that question yesterday.  Then again, it's not like we were friends in the first place.

     I look down at my wrists and remember my talk with the Mage.  Last week, I went to talk to the Mage about my wrists.  I unwrapped my arms and showed him.  His expression was unexpected, he seemed glad. 

     "Simon, this is great news," he said proudly.  I was beyond confused.

     "What do you mean, sir?" I asked curiously.

     He let out a sigh and stated, "Because you have no names on your wrist, it means that you're immortal, you truly are The Chosen One."

     I had never thought of it that way.  All summer I had thought that something was wrong with me, I guess not.  This also meant that I had no soulmate though, which means that Agatha and I weren't meant to be together. 

     I thanked the Mage and went home.

     Ever since I noticed that Baz had also wrapped up his arms, I had wanted to know why.  He might even be in the same situation as me.
