THEO'S POV:
I was sitting back in my chair in class, my head resting on my hand,
glaring at Kayla as she talked to Mia while casually sitting on the teacher's desk.
I was completely lost in thought.
How can I find out who he is? Should I stalk her tonight?
No… that's creepy.
But I have no choice.
It's the only way.
My jaw clenched slightly at the thought of her with someone else.
Sevi walked in with Annie, laughing about something.
Kayla immediately noticed Annie and came over to us, curiosity written all over her face.
What happened?
Sevi stepped forward dramatically, placing a hand on his chest like he was about to announce something historic.
Annie helped me clear my debt by beating that Beast Titan in boxing.
Oh really???? …oh my God, I missed the show. I wanted to see it too!
Annie shrugged like it was nothing.
Nothing new. Just some old punk trying to act like an asshole, so I put him in his place.
Still, thank you, Annie. You're my best friend from now on!
Sevi turned to me instantly, pointing an accusing finger.
Look! That's what a real friend is called! Unlike someone else, who only knows how to get back at his best friend!
I straightened up slowly and rolled my eyes.
Shut it. It's not like you've done a lot for me either. What did you ever do to return the billions of favors I've done for you? Huh? What can you even do for her? Other than annoying her with your lame acts… just like you did with me.
He stepped closer, frowning, clearly offended.
You think I never did anything for you?
Nope. Never.
Seeing my mood turn darker, he immediately backed up with both hands raised in surrender.
Okay, okay! I'll pay you back someday. You're still my best friend though… forever!
I scoffed but didn't reply.
Right then, the class teacher walked in.
Students, settle down on your seats!
Everyone rushed back to their places, chairs scraping against the floor.
I have your checked exam papers here.
Oh Godddd…
The whole class groaned dramatically in frustration.
I'll call names one by one. Come and take your papers.
Names started being called.
Annie went first, grabbing her paper casually.
Kayla went next.
They both looked down at their marks… then at each other.
3
For a second there was silence… then they burst out laughing like it was the funniest thing in the world.
We matched!
Soulmate marks!
They high-fived proudly like they had just topped the class instead of completely failing.
Then Sevi's name was called.
He walked confidently… and came back staring at his paper in shock.
80
His mouth fell open.
Bro… I marked option B for everything.
He high-fived me excitedly like he had discovered a life hack.
See? Genius strategy.
I shook my head in disbelief.
Then my name was called.
Theo.
I walked up calmly, took the paper, and glanced at the score.
100
As usual.
No reaction. No surprise.
Just normal.
