WARNING: This story contains death.
PLEASE READ: Before this story begins, I want to explain a bit. I wrote this for a challenge on AMA and it's a soulmate AU where your soulmate's last words are written on your wrist. Thanks to this, you won't know who you're soulmate is until they die.
I have this online friend who I met while roleplaying five years ago. He's really nice and we get along better than any two people I've ever met. In the time we've known each other, I've really gotten to know him. I learned his name is Gene Ocean, he's eighteen years old, a senior in high school, and has a little brother named Dante. Gene's gotten to know a lot about me as well. He's learned my names is Zenix Valenzuela, I'm seventeen years old, a junior in high school, and an only child.
Sometimes, we send silly pictures of ourselves when we're bored or just talk about whatever. Some things we have in common are we both absolutely hate school, get bad grades, skip and ditch school, have bad attitudes, and love cake. Heh, that last one doesn't really fit with the rest but it's true.
I often wonder if I'll ever be able to meet him in real life. I've wanted to bring it up with him before but I've been too nervous to do so. I mean, it'd be really cool to meet up with him but it's also pretty scary. Still, I've known him for a while so perhaps it won't be as bad as I'm imagining it to be.
As I sat at the desk in my room, scrolling through social media, I get a message from Gene. Smiling to myself, I grab my phone and open our chat.
Gebe: Hey, Zeni!
Zen Zen: Hey, Bean!
Gebe: How are ya?
Zen Zen: Oh, you know. Bored out of my mind.
Gebe: Same here. Heh...
Zen Zen: :P
Gebe: Hey, Zenix? I have a question...
Zen Zen: Yes, Gene?
Gebe: Have you ever wanted to meet up irl?
Zen Zen: I'll admit. I have. Why do you ask?
Gebe: Well, my mom says that she'll allow me to meet up with you if you live nearby.
Zen Zen: Really?
Gebe: Yep! So, um, where do you live...?
Zen Zen: A small town called Phoenix Drop. ^^
Gebe: Seriously?
Zen Zen: Yep!
Gebe: I do, too!
Zen Zen: You do?!?!?!
Gebe: Yeah! Do you know Phoenix Drop High?
Zen Zen: Know it? That's my school!
Gebe: Mine too! I wonder how I've never seen you around at school.
Zen Zen: Same here. Maybe we could meet up at school tomorrow?
Gebe: Totally! How about we meet up at the bleachers near the soccer field at 6:30 am?
Zen Zen: I'll be there! ^^
Gebe: I'll be waiting, Zeni~!
Zen Zen: Heh....
All I could do was stare at my phone in disbelief. Was I really going to meet Gene? This couldn't be real, it had to be a dream. Just in case, I pinched my arm.
