SS 07: Developing

Hailey's PoV

I wake up, and do my routine. I have breakfast, brush my teeth, shower, get ready and head off to school.

There, I see my friends and talk to them. After a while, I bring up the red string.

"Nǐmen zhīdào hóngxiàn ma?" (You guys, do you know about the red string?) I asked them in pure curiosity.

One of my friends replied, "Shì de, wǒ shíjì shang yīzhí zài hé wǒ de zhījǐ liánxì!" (Yeah, I've actually been in touch with my soulmate!)

Xian replied, "Jīn, yǐjīng shuōle." (Kim, just say it already.) We were very shocked.

"Ó, tiān nǎ, nǐmen liǎng gè zài yuēhuì?" (Oh my god, You two are dating?) Mei said with surprize evident on her face.

"Háishì gèng hǎo, nǐmen liǎng gè shì línghún bànlǚ?" (Or better yet, you two are soulmates?) I said to them and but garnered a shy response. I questioned them in Filipino, because they were also mixed.

"Oo, Hailey. Kami na; at mag soulmates kami." Kim said with little courage.
I was as giddy as a 3 year old is when they recieve their presents in Christmas Day.

Mei was looking confused because she's pure chinese, so Xian explained it to her. "Wǒmen shì línghún bànlǚ. Hé yuēhuì." (We're soulmates. And dating.) To say that her reaction was extra is an understatement.

The rest of the day went by as normal and I went home.

I kept chatting with my soulmates and we've discovered that any personal info was not to be stated so we had to find a way to adress each other. By the first letter of our names. Soulmate "S" Figured that out. I was pretty vauge and silent as this was all new to me as 4 of us talked. It was this really amazing feeling though.

I dressed up in a casual outfit and messaged a friend. I've been meaning to see this person for the longest time. They're my bestfriend.

I go and get ready and freshen up going to my parents to say goodbye to them and going out.

My maids open up the gates and there he is. I envelope him in a hug and he hugs back.

"Ollo! Oh my god. I haven't seen you in so long!" I say excitedly.

Apollo Barbers-Cross (Parents never gave him a middle name) is my best friend, although not a perfect guy; he does his best and loves what he does. Mixed, like me, he's got American, European and Filipino blood in him. We met because we were former schoolmates and got along to the point we are now. Although he doesn't have any chinese blood and doesnt really look like a chinese person; he speaks fluently like any native speaker.

"Haillleyy! I miss you alot too, how about we talk in the car?"

Whenever we'd meet; it would always feel special, because we'd be in different places that he liked or i liked. Today, it was his pick on where to go, and he brought me to secluded places, but we settled on just viewing the horizon and city lights.

I sparked up a conversation. "Hey Ollo."

"Hmm?"

"Well, i was wondering; do you have the 'red string of fate?'"

"Yep. I do. How about you?"

I'm opening up to him. He's the only person I feel comfortable opening up to. "Well I do, but how about you elaborate on yours first?"
