soulmates

back to school

Jackson woke up to the sound of his alarm. He cut it off before it woke up Enzo, he would never get over how cute he looked sleeping. He quickly got dressed and ready for school. He decided to leave a note for his sleeping boyfriend. As Jackson was about to leave the room he felt Tux brush up against his leg. Jackson picked up Tux and laid him with Enzo where he instantly fell asleep curled up against Enzo's neck. As Jackson walked out he laid a spare phone on the counter then went outside to catch the bus, which he almost missed. Again.He climbed aboard and found a seat. Once he sat down he laid his head on the window and began to think of Enzo and what he'll do while Jackson was at school. The bus began to move for a bit then stopped to pick up another kid. Jackson kept his eyes closed until someone jumped in his seat and pressed themselves against him harshly. Jackson quickly opened his eyes to see it was his best friend London. London practically screamed "HEY BEST FRIEND". The screaming girl rattled Jackson. "Where have you been?!" London has Been Jackson's best friend as far back as they can both remember. London is a tall skinny lady with platinum blonde hair and ocean blue eyes. London asked the same thing she has always asked Jackson "Have you met your soulmate yet mate?". This time Jackson finally was able to say yes. He smirked as the word left his lips, he could see London's eye begin to widen to the size of basketballs. London screamed which made everyone look at them, which is understandable since her scream could break a window. London fired off rounds of questions but Jackson couldn't handle them all at once. "Okay okay, stop. Okay listen his name is Enzo. I'll explain the switch and everything another time. For now just know he lives with me and I'm so in love with him it's crazy to think we just met" Jackson explained. London took a deep breath and calmed down, her face a rosey pink, and then joked "guess we both turned out to be gay huh?". Frowning a little Jackson reminded her he's pansexual not gay. London laughed it off and sat back, Jackson knew she was joking but there was still a bit of tension in the air. They kept talking the whole bus ride, London was mostly talking about her date on Saturday. As they arrived Jackson tried to keep to himself but London being the lively person she is drew everyone's attention. Jackson always asks himself how he became her friend. They reached the door and standing there waiting was Rosaleen. Rosaleen is London's girlfriend. Rosaleen is an average sized women with crimson red hair. Her eyes a brilliant sea green and her face swarmed with freckles. The two girl instantly embraced each other, kissing each others cheeks, hoping no one noticed. But of course Jackson noticed, he noticed everything. All three of them went to Jacksons locker to to get his binders for class. Jackson had a broken locker. It was bent badly after a fight happened and someone punched his locker, but at least it still opened. It didn't bother Jackson so he left it be, deciding not to change lockers, because his was right beside London's. Jackson opened his locker took his books out and turned around to London and Rosaleen snickering. Jackson asked they what about as they walked but they wouldn't tell him. He had a inkling they were talking about him but he chose to ignore it, he knew London would tell him eventually. They all went to their separate classes. Jackson walked into English. As he walked to his desk he tripped over something, dropping his binders and all. He looked back to see Lucas had his leg out and quickly pulled it back before his teacher saw. The teacher quickly told Jackson to stop goofing around and get in his desk. He stood up, dusted off his jeans, and picked up his binders then sat in his seat. The teacher wrote her name up on the board like she had done everyday for the entire year, "Mrs.Buzz". Mrs. Buzz told them to take out their final book reports. She had assigned the entire class to find a nonfiction book over a thousand pages long to do a report on. Jackson had finished it early on and stood up and turned it into the teacher. Mrs.Buzz told them they had the rest the class to finish their report until it was due, which meant Jackson had the entire class to do whatever he wanted. Jackson decided to secretly check his phone behind his laptop and saw that Enzo had texted him. Jackson had listed Enzo's number under, Boo <3. It was him asking what to listen to on Youtube. Jackson quickly replied "Fob" and put his phone away. For the rest of class Jackson laid his head on his desk and slept. Near the end of class people began to crowd Jackson's desk. Even Mrs.buzz was in the group of people. One of the kids woke Jackson up. When he looked up, very confused, Mrs.Buzz said "from all of us standing here around you, congrats on finding your soulmate Jackson." All the kids began to hug jackson. Tears began to well up in his eyes and all he could squeak out was a faint, "thank you". They embrace continued till the bell rung then everyone was off to their next class. Jackson noticed that Lucas was looking down at his desk, and he thought he saw a tear hit the desk, but he figured he was wrong. Jackson went to his locker to get his things for his next class, Chemistry. Class trudged on like all the others, felt like years. It felt like forever before the bell rung for lunch, he was just thankful he got first lunch with his friends. Once class ended he ran to the cafeteria. Jackson got his food, which was bland spaghetti and waited on his friends and their usual spot. FIrst to arrive was London and Rosaleen, those two are inseparable. After them Daniel sat across from them. Finally the the new kid Eden who London had befriended sat down as well, because London is friends with almost everyone in the school. Everybody gave Jackson another round of attention for finding his soul mate. For most of lunch London, Jackson, and Rosaleen talked while Eden and Daniel acquainted with each other. Then after a bit of time lunch ended and everybody went to class. Since Jackson and London both had Accounting together they walked together to class. They got to class and took their seats. As soon as Jackson sat down the teachers phone rang. The teacher answered and said okay then began to write a note. The teacher told Jackson to take the note and go to guidance, Jackson silently groaned to himself. As Jackson stood up London whispered "Don't leave me with these...Peasants". Jackson smiled at her then walked out of class. The entire walk to guidance he worried about why he was being called down, he didn't think he had done anything wrong. Was is because he missed school last week? Is it something about Enzo? When he reached the guidance office he walked in and took a seat. The guidance officer, Mr. Dolts, turned around in his chair to face Jackson. Mr. Dolt slid a large folder towards Jackson who immediately knew what was going on. Mr. Dolt said " look you've done so much and you've done so well at all of it. Please go to college". Jackson shook his head vigorously. Mr.Dolt asked why and Jackson screamed "JUST BECAUSE I CAN HAVE THAT LIFE DOESN'T MEAN IT'LL BE A LIFE WORTH LIVING". Jackson stood up and stormed out of the room. Jackson slowly walked back to class so that when he got there class was ending. He first went to the bathroom to check his phone and see if he had gotten a text from Enzo. Jackson told London it was the same thing as usual, college. They both walked together till London had to go to her next class. On Jackson's way into Journalism he saw Lucas sitting near the entrance. Class dragged along but eventually ended. Once everyone else left it was just Lucas and Jackson. As Jackson tried to walk out Lucas grabbed him by the shoulder roughly. As the seconds passes Lucas squeezed harder and harder until he finally said "There are better people to love besides him" as he stared at his own feet. Finally he let go and walked away. Lucas sprinted away before Jackson could say anything. Jackson had to hurry to the busses because of Lucas' outburst. Jackson was too late and missed his bus, of course, how could the day get any worse. Jackson slowly slid to the ground and began to cry. All he wanted was Enzo to hold him. He felt two hands on his back. He looked up to see Rosaleen and London lifting him up. London whispered "you can tell me later but for now i'll bring you home. No don't worry you live near Rose so you aren't out of the way". They all piled into Rosaleen's little car and drove in silence, Jackson trying to stop his tears. They dropped Jackson off first. They all got out of the car and hugged each other until Jackson stopped crying. London and Rosaleen drove off afterwards. Jackson walked into the house but it was silent. Jackson cried out Enzo's name. Stopping by the hall mirror to make sure it didn't look like he had been crying. Finally he walked into their room and as he opened the door Enzo jumped out to hug Jackson. Jackson screamed and fell over. They lied there for some time then they got up, went to the living room, turned on tv, got food, and cuddled on the couch. Everything was going well until they heard a knock at the door.
