I couldn't believe what I read. My eyes keep scanning over the numbers in panic.
Tomorrow!? How could I meet him tomorrow!?
Sweat down my face. I couldn't process my thoughts. I actually believe I could have fainted right on that spot.
The lunch bell rang signaling us to get moving to our next class. I tried to get my brain to function. Slowly I stood up and grabbed my satchel.
"Allie!" Faith came running towards me. Once she got closer her face scrunched up. "Are you okay?"
I couldn't tell Faith about my watch. She would certainly make a big deal about it. I simply shook my head yes. Faith left it there, but I'm sure shock was still visible on my face. We walked onto our next class, which was English. This was usually my favorite, but today I couldn't focus.
I constantly was glancing at my watch, seeing the number slowly count down by seconds. One by one, my time continues to disappear in front of me. The bell rang dismissing us, but I still felt no urge to get up. Faith smiled at the teacher who seemed concerned and helped me up. She walked me down the hallway to what I thought would be our last class for the day, but she then made a swift exit for the back doors.
I jumped out of my daze in panic.
Why were we outside of the school?
She dragged me to her car and we both got in. "Okay, what is going on? You are not fine, and clearly are in panic!" Faith questioned.I stayed silent, glancing out the window, hoping something will save me. Faith raised her eyebrows. "Well?" I felt so guilty not telling her. She seemed to get I wasn't going to spill. I felt horrible. Her face seemed to break as she frowned.
She turned the key into the ignition and drove from the school. "Where are we going?" I asked weakly, " We still have class."
"Well, we're skipping. You clearly need to escape from your head and school's not going to help with that."
Her voice was so cold. It was like she was breathing ice. I hated that I hurt her.
"Faith?" I couldn't believe I was going to do this to myself.
"What?" Her voice seemed to be more unbreakable each time she spoke.
I hesitated.
"I meet my soulmate tomorrow."
Faith slammed on the brakes. I was just thankful there were no cars behind. Faith squealed with excitement. Now she would just have to keep her mouth shut. There lies the problem.
