Soulmate AU
Y/N's POV
Jeremy and I were sitting on the bus, and he was yelling something at me, but I was barely listening.
I was sitting there, tracing over the tattoo on my arm. After Rich and I kissed, there was a sharp pain in my wrist. Now it read in wavy, cursive writing Goranski.
Richard Goranski was my soulmate. I couldn't believe it.
Should I ask him about it? Would he care?
I mean, he did kiss me, not the other way around.
And... we're soulmates. Actual real soulmates.
I didn't think I'd find mine. Most people-
"Y/N!!" Jeremy yelled, waving a hand over my face. My head popped up and he raised an eyebrow, looking down at my wrist.
"What are you looking at?" He prodded.
I pulled my sleeve down harshly.
"Nothing!"
He stared at me like he didn't believe me, and just when I thought he was going to drop it he grabbed my wrist, pulling my sleeve down.
"Oh my god..." he stared in disbelief.
His eyes glazed over in shock and farted between me and my wrist.
"You... found your soulmate first?! Damnit!"
I cracked up laughing. It was not the reaction I was expecting.
"Y/N, what are you going to do? This guy hates us. He torments us." He frowned, holding my hand and making circles with his thumb, like he does when he's nervous.
"Jer, it's okay. If it's meant to be, it's meant to be. I didn't make the laws. It has to work out."
He bit the inside of his lip.
"Okay. Just... don't get hurt. Please."
I smiled. "I won't."
*time skip*
The next day I approached Rich in the hallway.
He glanced at me as he saw me coming, and smiled strangely. I smiled back and-
He grabbed my collar, pushing me up against the lockers. I sat there, my feet dangling and I stared at him helplessly confused.
"R-Rich? What-"
"Hey little Heere. You coming for seconds?"
I... was speechless. What the hell was he talking about?
"Rich-"
"You don't actually think yesterday meant anything right?" He chuckled like it was the funniest thing in the world. I laughed bitterly.
"Yah, it did me a something."
I pulled my sleeve up, revealing my tattooed wrist. His smirk dissolved into something much more... unreadable.
I saw happiness flicker in his eyes, but he was frowning.
He dropped me and my feet hit the floor hard, making me fall to my butt on the ground.
He turned over his arm and gasped, his eyes focusing on the one spot, and I was positive my name was on there.
He stared at me, his eyes welling.
"Y/N-" his head twitched and it seemed very electric.
His snarl returned as he reached for me again, pulling me up by my arm. He brought me close to his face, and I could smell the mint in his breath.
"This. Means. Nothing."
I twisted out of his grasp and ran, wanting to escape that fast. But a hand caught me mid sprint. It was Jermey.
"Y/N, are you okay? I saw everything."
He turned over my wrist which was now tattooed and bruised.
"Just peachy, Jer. Just peachy."
There was something wrong with him, I know it. He was so nice yesterday and now he was acting like an evil dick.
I had to figure this out.
Rich's POV
OH MY GOD SHE'S MY SOULMATE.
THIS IS THE BEST DAY EVER!!
HOW COULD-
I'm going to need you to shut up and focus. This seriously compromises our plan. How are you supposedly he popular if your soulmate is some loser?
I wish I could slap him.
Who cares about being popular now?! Y/N is my soulmate, why would I care about being popular?
Because you need discernible social status to be happy. But... you could help Y/N! Get her a Squip, improve her instead of you.
I gulped.
Absolutely not! She is wonderful the wya She is, I don't want-
Rich, listen to me. If you want to be with her, you need to give her a Squip.
No! Shutdown!
I let my feet pick me up and drag me to the caf where students filed to meet before classes.
In the back I saw Y/N sitting with Jeremy, and she looked sad. God what did I do?
I ran to her, freezing in front of her.
Jeremy stood up, Y/N shrank back.
"Y/N, I just want to say sorry. I'm so so s-thorry. For what I did, and what I said."
She stared at me blankly.
"Rich, what's wrong with you? Are you okay?"
She asked me. I... could I tell her the truth?
It was worth a try...
So I laid it all out on the table.
...
I'm tired. Theres probably going to be a P3
