Soulmates

Chapter 16

Sadie stared at the Homecoming posters plastered on the walls of the school. The home game was in September, only a month away.

She wanted to go, but she also wanted to go with someone. She didn't care if it was as a friend or romantically; she just wanted to have a date.

Luckily, due to callbacks and the cast list, Sadie had someone in mind.

"Walt?" Shel asked when Sadie told her about the slight attraction she might feel. "Oh, babe, his voice is like butter."

"Not saying I don't agree, but that's not what I asked."

Shel rolled her eyes and glanced at Piper across the courtyard. "He's sweet, but I don't really talk to him."

"Do you really talk to anyone?"

"No, but that isn't that point."

Now Sadie threw on the itchy gym uniform with Shelby sitting on the rickety bench beside her. "Are you going to Homecoming?"

Shel shrugged. "I think so. Right now I'm more focused on the homoerotic tension between Will and Nico. If that doesn't happen soon I'm going to fucking riot."

"Are they even gay?"

Shel stared at Sadie for a moment and laughed. "Oh, shit. You're serious?" She laughed some more. "Babe, your gay-dar is fucking dead. There is no hope for that son of a bitch."

"Really?"

"Yes, babe. They are so, so, so gay it physically pains me."

Sadie laughed. "So, they're both gay?"

"Well, I think Will is more bi than gay, but yeah." Sadie noticed the strained tone in her voice.

"What's wrong?"

"Nothing, why?" Sadie didn't overlook Shel's glance at her wrist.

"Oh my God!"

"What?"

"Do you know who it is?"

"The fuck? No!" Shel looked Sadie in the eye. "Seriously, if I did, I would tell you."

"Well maybe," Sadie said as she put her hair up into a ponytail, "you should ask this person out!"

Shelby snorted. "I would if I knew who my fucking soulmate was, Kane."

"Oh, we're doing last names now, Silva Hicks?"

"Fuck off."

Sadie didn't expect a new teacher in USH so fast.

Mr. Thompson was a dark-skinned man with a Nigerian accent, and unlike Rhysand Davidson, he seemed to actually care about his students.

But, it was his first day with the newest group of kids.

After the Davidson disaster, Hestia simply merged the small history classes. Sadie, Shel, Will, Nico, Reyna, and Piper already made up half the class. With the merge, Mr. Thompson would have 26 students, a full class.

Thompson let the lot chose their own seats. "We don't have assigned seating, so it's first come first serve."

Sadie noticed Piper first. She didn't think of Piper as part of the group, but Piper saved four more seats, and Reyna was already next to her.

Shel and Sadie walked in together and sat just behind them. Nico silently sat next to Reyna and sent a glance to Will when he sat behind him.

Sadie didn't know how she missed something so obvious.

Carter walked in with Zia and sat near the front of the classroom. Sadie had forgotten they had this class. Thankfully, Carter paid her no mind.

Sadie's phone rang endlessly. There was already a Hadestown Groupchat, somehow. Sadie didn't know who any of these people are.

Alex texted her separately. Can we meet up sometime I'm trying to finish this myth project by the time its due.

Sure I'm free tonight

I havje a shift until 5 at starbucks

Then I'll meet you at 5 at starbucks

kool

Brilliant also who havjes a shift

Fuck off

Sadie changed Alex's profile from "Alex" to "Havjes." Then she changed it to "Green Son Of A Bitch."

"Welcome, welcome. If you haven't noticed, we have some new students here today," Mr. Thompson said as he pointed to the group. "They're here from Rhysand's class. Can I have your names please?"

I know it's short, sorry.

I just went on a weekend trip, and all I had written was the first 100 words when I left, so I pulled this out of the part of me with no inspiration. But, I updated anyway because I love you.

Prepare for some sort of internal homophobia with Pipes when it comes to Shel, I'm going to have some fun with that. Walt should come... eventually.

Hazel should come soon, I have some fun ideas for that. Ya know, Police Brutality, racism, all that fun shit.

Caleo is hard af to write, so I might get that ship out of the way soon, and then never write in their POVs again bc I'm cheap like that.

I ended up changing the premise for that ACOTAR fic where I trash on the characters and made it kinda similar to Instant Family (If you haven't watched that, wtf are you doing, it's hilarious)

I have sooo many ideas for klance, but I'm in between celeb and a 6th person with them when they found Voltron. I'm leaning toward 6th paladin

Shadow and Bone was just renewed (took long enough)

I just watched the Joker for the first time, that was a wild ride and an excellent movie

that's all though

Love Y'all!!!!

And happy pride, more LGBT povs this month, hopefully.
