FEMS POINT OF VIEW

  Today was my 18th birthday. A birthday I dreaded but also was excited for.

  For one, I can drop out of high school or check myself out of school since I'm of legal age, as well as can move out of my gardians home, but on the other hand, it's that oh so special day when you are thought of to meet this person called a soulmate.

  I woke up groggily, it may be May, but that doesn't stop the school system. Can't get a proper summer break now a days can I?

  'Get your sorry ass up and get to school young woman!' A yell of my adoptive mother pierced my pray for death of my everyday wake up when I see no one has tried to kill me in my sleep.

  'Yes ma'am!' I get up tired and go off to get ready to school.

  I was told I'd see some words tattooed on my arm, but, me not wanting to deal with soulmate bullshit, I don't want to go searching, and so I always strayed my eyes away the common areas, the wrist, the shoulder, and the arm.

  I grabbed my stuff and walked to school, dropping by Frisk's place to walk to school with her.

  'Fem!! Happy birthday boi!' I chuckled at her excitement, 'so, what is your soulmate gonna say to you?'

  I look down a bit, before looking back at Frisk, 'Meh, don't know yet. Y'all know I don't believe in this soulmate stuff.' Firsk pouted.

  'Then at least tell me what it says!' I sigh, rolling up my sleeves, seeing it on my wrist, surrounded by a few triangles and little designs. It looked kind of pretty.

  The words read, "How do you humans stand that?"

  I look up at Frisk and see her with a wide grin, 'Uhhh, what?'

  'Fem I swear if it isn't who I think it is I will murder your soulmate!' I tensed. She knows who this person I'm bound to be stuck with my life for my eternal suffering? Well I swear if it's one of the assholes I know I am definitely going to kill them first.

  We continued to walk to school with light conversation, and we met up with the gang, some saying happy birthday, some just acknowledging my existence.

  Actually, everyone in the group tells me happy birthday except Ash, but they don't even talk to me anyways. The most they ever would be was anytime our teacher makes us partner up and gets a topic that's controversial that we had to answer. Otherwise it's nods, humms, or gestures. A saying I feel like I've heard before has always applied to them. "When it goes to Ash, it's always about the body language." which makes it interesting on how much they tell just through their body language. I'm rather impressed.

  Either way, we continued on school, I've received some happy birthdays, sometimes asked those stupid soulmate questions, but overall school was still prison.

  I was on my way to class after lunch, and I stopped by my locker to get some stuff. Ash was following me, as I believe we both have a class together, although they're a grade lower than me, so I don't mind.

  As I grabbed my stuff out, the basic blonde bitch of the school decided to stop a visit. Slamming my locker door as a typical to drag my attention to her whorish face.
