"If you see any scars on your body and you don't know why, do not worry. It is just the scars of your true love. If you find someone with identical scars as you, you are destined to be with them, no matter the circumstances. Mijo, that person is your soulmate."

Lance waited patiently for any scars to show up on his body.

and he waited.

and waited.

and waited.

until...

It was the first day of junior year.

Star football player Lance McClain. A boy who had it all together, had his life set out for him,  walked down the hallway in last year's jersey (with the sleeves cut off) and skinny jeans. Him and his closest friends Hunk Garrett and Katie"Pidge" Holt stop at 3 lockers, conveniently in a row, as if the 3 friends reserved lockers for themselves. Well, almost in a row, as there was an extra locker between Lance's locker and Pidge's locker. "There was probably a mess up in the system." Lance shrugged. "I'll go to the office during my free period and have them switch it." Lance opens his locker and attaches a magnetic mirror and  comb holder to the  inside of the door. "Uh guys?" Hunk says in awe. "Who's that?"

Lance and Pidge turn to see a boy they had never seen around school before. He had a mullet, jet black hair and grey-blue eyes, wearing a Thrasher hoodie, ripped skinny jeans, and bright red Vans skateboarding sneakers. The boy walked up to the "extra" locker between Lance and Pidge and opened it. Lance took the opportunity to talk to the boy. "Hey." Lance says, acting as if he had any sort of clue as to who this kid was. "I'm assuming you're new here, huh?" The boy rolls his eyes and looks at Lance. "I wonder what kind of genius you would have to be to figure that out." Lance chuckles. "Feisty, huh?" The boy sighed. "Sorry, just a little on edge. Being the new kid and all." The boy's eyes go wide as he puts his head in his hand. "That was so cliché and gross." Lance chuckles and smiles. "Hey, don't sweat it. I'm Lance McClain. You?" the boy slams his locker shut. "Keith Kogane." Lance smiles. "Well hi Keith. the short girl in the green is Katie, but we call her Pidge. The big guy over there is Hunk."
"Hey." Pidge says with a smirk.
"Hello!" Hunk chirps.
Lance turns back to face Keith. "So new kid, want to sit with us at lunch? Not to brag or anything, but you'd get some good cred for sitting with us on the first day of school. We have 3 seniors in our lunch period and they ALL sit with us." Keith looks at Lance with no emotion. "I know. Matt Holt, Takashi Shirogane, his boyfriend Adam, and some other girl. Allura i think?"Lance gives Keith a confused look. "Uh, yeah, how did you know that?" "Shiro is my brother. He came to this school while i stayed at our old school, but i got kicked out so now i'm here with him." Keith then realizes he might have shared a bit too much with these 3 high school kids he met not even 5 minutes ago.  "That's awesome. Matt is Pidges older brother. I'm sure you and Pidge will get along if Matt and Shiro can." Lance beams. The bell rings. "I have english. What about you guys?" Lance asks. Pidge, Hunk, and Keith all have Advisory. Lance mutters. "Lucky. I'm stuck with Mr. Bienz first period. that sucks." Hunk laughs. "Later Lance."

spaceace: hey keeeef
kittykeith: hi pidge. stop texting me i'm right in front of u
spaceace: fine
 
Keith threw his phone back into his backpack.
"So Keith." Pidge smirks. "Tell me more about you. like, basic facts." Keith sighs.
"Okay, well, my favorite color is red." Pidge rolls her eyes. "More than that kid. Like, what's your sexuality?" Keith's heart skips a beat. "A bit forward, no?" Pidge scoffs and sits back in her chair. "Come on Keith, i'll give you the rundown on all of us! I'm asexual, Hunk is pan, Shiro and Adam are gay even though you probably knew that, Allura is straight, and Matt and Lance are both bi." Hunk giggles. "It's true, gays really do travel in packs." Keith sighs. "Fine, just don't say anything to anyone else, okay? If they're going to find out it'll be through me." Pidge grins. "We promise. Now spill!" Keith begins playing with his hair. "Uh, i'm gay."

Pidge smirks and closes her eyes.
"Haha, called it. Pay up Hunk." Hunk groaned and slapped 10 dollars into Pidge's hand.
"D-did you, bet on m-" Keith stutters. Pidge giggles. I could tell you were gay from when you started talking to Lance. Hunk didn't believe me, he thought you were bi, so i bet him 10 bucks on it. clearly it payed off, especially because even if Hunk was right i don't have 10 dollars on me." Keith sighs. "What was that about thinking i like Lance?" Pidge smirks again. "It's so obvious. you totally have the hots for him, and you barely even know him." Keith ( lightly ) punches Pidge in the arm. "Well Miss Holt, you are mistaken. I do not, nor will i ever, have the hots for Lance McClain."

"Can i bet 10 dollars on that too?"
~
Keith and Pidge were the first ones to lunch. . Turns out they had most classes together, which gave Pidge more time to mock Keith about his crush on Lance (that didn't exist).
by 2nd period, Keith was already fed up. "Pidge i swear to god, i'm gonna throw you." Pidge just laughed and laughed at that, which was not the reaction Keith wanted from her.
Keith sat down and took a container of cherries out of his bag. He was about to eat one when he saw someone walk into the room.
Keith stood up and ran across the room, and gave his big brother a hug. "Shiro. I missed you. it's been so long." Shiro laughed. "It's only been like, 9 months, but I missed you too. I'm still pissed about the fact that you got kicked out of Garrison though." Adam walked up behind Shiro. "He did whAT?" Keith laughed. "Hey Adam, I missed you too. Surprisingly."  Matt laughed loudly. "Alright boys, people are staring. Let's go sit down." Matt walked ahead and yelled hello to his sister. After everyone sat down, Lance and Hunk arrived (fashionably late).
Lance took the last seat next to Keith and they were all making casual conversation. Lance looked over at Keith's food,  a container of cherries and a thermos with some teriyaki chicken in it. Lance smirked and grabbed a cherry. Keith didn't notice, so Lance did what any teenage boy would do.

He chucked the cherry at Keith's head.

and missed.

the cherry hit Shiro in the forehead and Lance burst into laughter. "Oh, sorry Shiro, I was trying to hit Keith." without warning, a cherry hit Lance on the side of his face.

"Heh." Keith grinned. "Like that?"
