hey people! wow can't believe it has taken me almost an entire year to get back to this, but here I am! Hope you enjoy this chapter! more soon due to quarantine!! enjoy!!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Detention was pretty boring until our teacher left... Then things got interesting...

"What were you thinking about earlier?"

I didn't know what she was talking about, "What do you mean, 'what was I thinking about,'"

"I mean, what were you thinking about during class, you had such a charming little smile on your face," She looked up from her cleaning to smirk at me.

"Ummmm," I wonder how I could be honest with her without telling her everything, "I was wondering when I would apply these types of rocks to the real world and my future when I started to think about what I would be doing in my future..."

"and what might that be?" She continued to stare at me with an intrigued eye.

"I-" I didn't want to say anything I regretted when the teacher suddenly walked in to check on us.

"Just making sure you girls were actually cleaning and not making out or something,"

"Why would we?" I started then stopped when Kennedy gave me an 'I know you were totally thinking about it' look. 

Our teacher, Mr. Brunner, sat down at a desk in the room and watched us clean until it was time for us to leave. 

~time skip~

It was four-thirty when we left. I was exhausted, cleaning always tires me out. 

I yawned.

"Someone's tired," Kennedy smiled at me.

"Well yeah, are you not tired?"

"Not really, I need to hurry, Coach is gonna kill me, I'm already late for practice,"

She said as she put her medium length hair in a high ponytail.

"Wait, what sport are you in?"

"Softball, you can come watch us practice if you want,"

"I think I should just go home, my mom is already mad at me for not coming home right away since I got a detention,"

"Oh, ok, next time then, do you want me to walk you home? It's on my way so it won't be any trouble," She smiled at me.

"Are you sure it won't make you even later to practice?"

"Oh, I'm definitely going to be late, but see, I have this great excuse, I was in detention with this really cute girl, who just happens to be my soulmate, and-"

"Okay, okay, you can walk me home, just, please don't say stuff like that about me,"

"But why shouldn't I flatter the girl I plan to marry?"

"Stop talking like that! It gets me too flustered!" I hid my face in my hands and started in the direction of my homophobic home. 

"Okay, okay, I'll stop saying it in front of you if it makes you that uncomfortable,"

"It only makes me uncomfortable because I'm not used to people saying stuff like that to me," I mumbled and I took my hands away from my face as I started walking in line with Kennedy, which was difficult since she is a few inches taller than me. 

"So no one has ever flirted with you?" Kennedy looked at me suspiciously.

"No, they have but... no one else's flirting has had this effect on me before..." I say the last sentence quietly to myself but Kennedy picks up on it.

"Oh my God, how are you so innocent and adorable! How could such homophobic dicks make such a sweet little thing for me???" Kennedy jumped around and yelled like she had just won a softball game. 

I laughed at her, she smiled at me, I smiled softly back at her. She was leaning in to give me a kiss, we were kinda close to my house on the pavement outside in the still summer weather.

She stopped pushed my long curls behind my ear and said, "Can I have a farewell kiss from my beautiful princess?"

I leaned in closer to her and, "Ella, what the hell are you doing!" She ran over to where Kennedy and I had been standing and shoved her away from me saying, "Get away from her you pervert!"

I was pulled into my home by the arm. I didn't look back at Kennedy and there was nothing either of us could do. We are both still minors after all.  

"What were you thinking?" My mother asked me once I had safely made it into our home and out of earshot from Kennedy. 

"I-I don't know..." I mumbled as she continued to go on and on about how sick and perverted all of this was. The fact that my soulmate was also another woman was foreign to her.

I left her still sitting on the living room couch still screaming at me and went into my room. I started to sing to Kennedy while crying. 

"Hold me now

It's hard for me to say I'm sorry

I just want you to stay

After all that we've been through

I will make it up to you

I promise to

And after all, that's been said and done

You're just a part of me I can't let go" 

My voice cracked as I sang, a part of me falling apart. 

I heard all of a sudden in my head, lyrics not from another song, but made up.

"I could never stop loving you,

The way I love you is new,

To both me and you.

I could never hurt you,

Even if I would die,

I can't give up on you

And I don't wanna try."

Her tone got higher as she continued to make up the words on the fly.

"If you disappeared,

I don't know where I would be,

I do know you should be here next to me.

So come one come all

Down to where I play ball,

To the field, 

and you can meet my friends,

Since we are together til the end,

Tomorrow you can meet some of my closest friends."

I'm going to do it. I am going to be the bad kid for once. I'm going to go to the feild were Kennedy has told me she's practicing, she sent me her location on my phone. I'll live with her for a while until my parents realize that I'm still me. Sensitive and sweet.
