Ever since the day I could understand I always wondered who my soulmate was. You see, whenever your soulmate draws or writes on their body, it appears on your body. I've also heard rumors that if you build a strong enough bond with your soulmate you gain telepathic capabilities, as well as, the ability to feel their emotions.

I am Betty Cooper. My first name is technically Elizabeth but I prefer Betty. Today is my first day of my junior year of high school.
"Elizabeth! Hurry up!" My mother, Alice shouts from the bottom of the steps.
"Yeah! I'm coming!" I scream down to her as I lazily lift my comforter from my body. I find that my entire right leg is been covered in these beautiful, gray scale designs. Ranging from skulls, bleeding hearts, and roses. This art piece speaks to me so loudly. I seemingly connect so deeply that I don't notice my mother enter my bedroom until I hear her gasp from behind me. I spin around to face her.
"Wear jeans today, Elizabeth. You don't want that to be on show." She sneers as she goes to the top drawer of my dresser, throwing a pair of jeans at me. I secretly roll my eyes.
"Be down in 5! Can't have my star pupil late for the first day!" She cheers as she leaves my bedroom. My mother is crazy!

As I walk down the stairs, fully dressed in an Alice Cooper approved outfit, I hear my parents whisper arguing. I stop before I get to close so I can eavesdrop.
"No! Hal! She can never know the truth!" My mother hisses. "Why not, Alice? She is-" My father starts but gets intrupted by my mom. "No. That's final."
I enter the kitchen all the more curious as to what they were whispering about.
