The Mark

2 days

HEYOOO so i ran out of ideas for a bit when i was writing part one so i just posted it. Imma try and update at least twice a week if not more.

Two more days until my birthday and I'm fucking terrified. I mean...what if my mark is black? What if Kate isn't my soulmate? She'd be heartbroken. I can't stand to see her when she's upset, it kills me. Kate and I have the same birthday so we'll get our marks at the same time. The first place I ever touched her was her face one day when she was crying over something (I can't remember what) she looked at me with her eyes all teary and I reached up and cradled her face in my hands and told her that she was gonna be okay. Speaking of Kate, we have a date in three hours. I guess I need to get ready don't I?

Bailey takes a quick shower and drys her hair and fixes it up in a high ponytail like normal and puts on a f/c shirt and a 2f/c jacket seeing as it's November in Colorado.  She puts on the slightest bit of makeup and watches a bit of TV until she has to leave. She meets Kate at the restaurant that they're eating at. It's called Samato. It's a Japanese place, Bailey loves Japanese food.

                             
                               Baileys POV

I met Kate at a restaurant called Samato. It's a Japanese restaurant, I LOVE Japanese food. Kate looks amazing. She's wearing her hair in a side part and her flannel shirt that I love. "You look fucking amazing" I tell her. "Not as good as you." She blushes and turns as red as a strawberry. I lean in and give her the smallest possible peck on her cheek before walking inside the restaurant. It's like 30°F out here. It's cold as hell. We sit down and our waitress comes and asks us what we want to drink. Kate orders a water and I got a Coke. We're looking at the menu and everything looks so good. "I wonder if the pink lady is any good? It says it's made of shrimp, cream cheese, and crab." I say to Kate. "Try it! It's really good, my mom made me try it a while back." She tells me, "Okay, I'll give it a shot I guess." The waitress comes back with our drinks and we give her our orders, I got the pink lady (whatever that is) and onion soup. Kate got a Boston Roll and a salad. We don't say much after we order, we just kinda sit there staring at each other, wide-eyed. "She looks so fucking adorable." I think to myself. "So," Kate gets my attention. "We get our marks in two days." "Yeah." I reply. "What? Are you not excited?" She asks with a concerned look on her freckle-spotted face. "No, I'm excited. It's just...." "Just what?" She's asks, looking even more worried than before. "It's just...what if you're not my soulmate? Or what if I'm not yours?" I blurt out. I didn't mean to say it that harsh. "What? Baby, of course you're my soulmate, I've loved you since we were 13." She tells me, trying to reassure me. "Wait, really?" "Yeah really! Why do you think I always made it a point to sit by you in EVERY class we had together?" She says, seeming more excited than she was earlier. "Oh, I just thought that it was the only seat left open. I came in during the middle of 8th grade, remember?" "Oh yeah, I forgot about that." She says. I laugh, she always forgets that I came to our school in the middle of the year. We go to CCHS (Cherry Creek High School) I met Kate in my math class, she sat in the desk next to me. I remember looking at her for the first time and thinking "Damn, I wish I was her girlfriend." She was obviously some form of gay, I could tell by the way she was dressed and the way she was staring at the girl in front of her. Glass-eyed with a cute little grin on her face. I showed up in the middle of class so I had to get her attention and ask what we were doing.

                *Flashback to 8th grade*

"God, look at that girl next to me. She's so fucking hot. I wish I was her girlfriend." I look up at the board and realize I don't have a single fucking clue what we're doing. I came in during the middle of the lesson. I'm new to this school and damn, this place is HUGE. There's three floors and 3,000 students. There's so many kids here that they need over 150 classrooms just to be able to hold them all for classes. But back to math class. I lean over to the girl next to me, "Hey, do you have any clue what we're doing? I'm new here and came in mid-lesson." She turns toward me, oh shit. The front of her face is even prettier than the side. "Oh, it's just substitution. It's hard to understand when you walk in during the middle of class. I'll show you after school if that's okay with you." "Oh! Yeah, totally." I reply, obviously flustered, I can feel my face turning bright red now. "Okay! I'll see you then! Oh my names Kate by the way." Kate. I love that name. "I'm Bailey, nice to meet you, Kate."
*End of flashback*

HEYOOO! That's the end of this chapter. I need ideas y'all. Please help me, leave some ideas in the comments please! I'm kinda committed to this story now ig 😂 I still don't have a picture of what Kate looks like but I think y'all should be able to make one up in your heads with the description I gave in the last chapter
