The bell rang, school was over for the day. Everyone tried to exit as fast as possible. But I stayed back. "Mrs. Korce?" I asked as I went up to her. "Yes, Colby?" She responded. "Y'know how you talked about soulmarks today?" She nodded. "Well um how would you actually know who your soulmate is?" I asked. "I'm guessing you have one?" I nodded.  "Well, I am just going to tell you this; follow your heart." Mrs. Korce then exited the room.  'What does she mean by, follow your heart?'

I walked out of the school, then saw Shea.  'Oh! I forgot!'  I ran up to her. "Hey Shea. Sorry I'm late. I needed to talk to my teacher for a second."  "It's okay Colby. I wasn't really in a hurry anyways." She chuckled. "Oh, by the way, Shea, uhm, two of my friends have to live with me for a while, cause, y'know, my 'incident'." I told her. "That's fine. As long as they don't bug us while I help you." I nodded, and we walked to my house.

"Guys! I'm home!" I yelled as Shea and I walked in. "Where the f*ck were you?" Jake said as he came up to me. "And I see you brought the chick?" Brennen then said. "Guys. Shut up. We are going in my room so she can help me with my work." I said as I take Shea's hand and lead her upstairs.

"Sorry about them." I said as we walked into my room. "It's fine, Colby. Brennen and Jake are just being boys." She laughed. "What's that supposed to mean?" I said, trying to sound offended. "Oh, nothing!" We both laughed, then started to get to work.

I felt a large pain in my arm; my left fore arm. The arm where I had the number. I rolled up my sleeve, and saw that the number had changed; 1600.0mi'Is the person trying to find me?'  I quietly got out of my bed, and tip-toed down the stairs since it was 12:45 in the morning.  I wrote a note to Jake and Brennen, telling them that was going out:

Dear Jake and Brennen,

   Hey guys. I am going out for a bit. Not sure if I'm going to be back in time for school, just so you know. The number on my arm changed; it got smaller. I think that the person is trying to find me. When you guys are in English today, and if I'm not there, tell Mrs. Korce that I say thanks for the help.
