The String, A Story Of Soulmates

The New Kid

I was drawing my self portrait when I heard a knock on the door. A few people, including myself, looked toward the door, as a student went and opened up the door. Outside stood a man that looked about my age.

"Yes?", The teacher called out to him.

He stepped inside and looked around.

"Finally, I found the art room. Sorry that I interrupted the class, but I'm actually supposed to be in this class. I'm new here, and I had signed up for this class, though I got lost on the way here.", He responded.

"Ah, you're... Lukas?"

He nodded.

"Yes yes, your tablet is over at that table. Welcome to our classroom, but next time, don't be late. I'm giving you a warning."

He smiled, and nodded again and went over to his table.

Then I noticed something that made me jump out of my skin. My string was connected to his hand, his ring finger, him. I stayed completely still for a second, blinking rapidly, to see if I was seeing things. I wasn't. My string was actually connected to him. I looked back to my tablet, my eyes wide. Nairi looked at me a little funny, but I just kept on drawing.

I had found my soulmate, after so long. I was excited, and terrified.

(Sorry that this chapter is so short.)
