I look down to my hand as I feel a slight tingling sensation, I smile as lines appear on my arm, my mate, my mates drawing on his arm, the lines slowly forming into a rose, my mate. I look up searching the classroom for anyone drawing a rose on them. No one. One day, one day we'll find each other, I grab my pen and write.
Hi
Do you like your rose?
Very much. So do we want to try and meet up again?
I don't know last time didn't go as planed
I remember we tried meeting at the shops, and before we could find each other his friends had come and ruined any chance of us meeting. The goddess decided that she would make tracking your mate hard, so we where both unable to tell each other the exact location of each other, and un able to arrange an exact meeting place, we could say where to roughly meat but no more. We had tried, several times. Written it down but it just didn't show up on the others arm, to make things harder we couldn't tell each other our whole name so we can't go looking for each other on social media or something.
How has your day been?
Tiring the usual. How bout u?
The usual, not tiring
The bell rings I quickly pack my bag leaving out the pen, I walk out the door while writing
Oh all mighty, how do you do it? Get through the day without tiring?
With immense power, and a lot of coffee
Sound amazing you'll have to show me this coffee you speak of
The familiar tingling sensation happened on my leg this time then;
Hey 's girlfriend
I arrive at my sitting place with my friends either talking together or playing a game of tiggy we invented, yeah so what? I know we're in like 11 grade but who cares? It's fun to run around blind and fall over. I take a seat next to my best friend.
And to whom am I speaking to? I reply on my leg
Who else? The amazing sparky!!
Oh the amazing sparky!!! Of course who else would interrupt my conversation with bubbles?
Haha bubbles? Is that your nickname for him?
Obviously, what else would it be?
"Astrid! Come play" I look up and see half the group looking at me asking me to come and play "it's funny watching you stumble around"
I smile and write a quick good bye to 'bubbles' saying that I'll talk to him later. And get up dragging my best friend with me to stumble around and try to tag people, blind folded.

After school I head to the coffee book store, getting a coffee and settling down with a book I start reading sipping from the coffee as I do so.
After a while I feel the writing still on my leg and arm heat up, 'well that's never happened' I look at the rose still on my hand and smile a bit.
"Damit princess looks like you don't need to be shown the amazing powers of coffee" the voice, wow, like liquid wrapping around my heart, i turn around slowly and see a gorgeous dark skinned guy behind me. His soft Carmel eyes scanning my face, perfect lips curling into a smile, his short dark curly hair, sharp features, and killer jaw line, and a body like you would not believe! And on his hand the rose he drew for me. And the rest of our conversation.
"Bubbles?"
"Who else?"
I rose from my chair setting the book an the arm, damn he's tall.
"What's your name, your real name I mean?" He asks me in awe, probably because of how tiny I am.
"Astrid, you?"
"Charlie"
