Patton lives in a world where the first words your soulmate says to you is written on your skin. The permentant presence of the words 'You're in my seat' on his thigh had yet to disappear until his soulmate utters them one day. Deep down he dreaded...
Patton and I walked to a midpoint between our houses then split up, making our separate ways home.
I pondered the events of that afternoon as I walked. It was obvious that Roman was Virgil's soulmate.
I had been with Virgil through most of our school lives, and unfortunately for him he hadn't discovered foundation in elementary school, which meant I had seen his soulmate mark. Today, his foundation had been too thin to properly hide any thick lettering. As blind as I may be to matters of the heart, the fact he and Roman were holding hands after Virgil lost his mark could be no coincidence.
It was none of mine or Patton's business if Virgil and Roman were copulating, so I pushed it to the back of my mind, instead focusing on the ground ahead of me.
I plugged my earphones into my portable mobile device and listened to my playlist as I walked. When the galaxy song came up, I looked up at the sky for added effect. As I did so, I saw a bird stuck mid-flight, which was odd. It was hanging in the sky, wings not moving, just floating there. Then it fell to my feet, and I noticed it was a 2D cardboard cutout, of sorts.
That was peculiar.
I arrived home eventually, and saw my father's vehicle, showing he was home.
"Hello, Logan!" Remy greeted me cheerfully, and I gave him a tight smile in response. Then, much to my surprise, my phone buzzed.
"Is someone,,, is someone talking to my son?" Remy asked, tears in his eyes.
"How did you... how did you articulate your comma elipses?" I asked tiredly and pulled out my phone.

You No matter, we can just meet up at lunch in the cafeteria on Monday instead.
I tucked away my phone and looked up at my weeping father.
"You hab,,, fren," he sniveled, then shuffled off to his room.
I suppose I'll be cooking dinner. The clock stated that it was 6pm, so I got to cooking a pork and eggplant stir fry.
Once I had eaten, I retrieved my homework from my bag and completed it all before I had to retire to my room.
