I really shouldn't be starting a new story but oh well, I am. I might update 'Hazel Eyes' after this but I'm sorry if I don't. I barely even found the time to write this. I'm going to Las Vegas tomorrow so I probably won't update but I will for sure update the hell out of this and 'Hazel Eyes'. Anyways, I got this idea from a Tumblr post that I've seen around. It's about how you're given a necklace at birth that will help you find your soulmate. I changed it up a bit so that it could still be some what my idea but still, not all of it is 100% me. But yeah, enjoy ! :)
The cry of a baby filled the room, sighs of relief being emitted and a few cheers. Jennifer Knight took in a deep breath, closing her eyes and a smile spreading across her features. Despite the loud cries, tiredness washed over the woman and she fell asleep, her hand tightly clutching her husband's hand.
Her husband stared at his beautiful wife, unable to keep his eyes off her. The doctors asked if he'd like to see the baby but he shook his head, saying only when his wife woke up. After a few minutes, there was a knock.
"Did you bring it?" a man leaning against the door frame asked. William Knight's head snapped up and saw his brother, Nicholas. William nodded and Nicholas came in. He looked at Jennifer and smiled softly. Her newborn son was currently getting cleaned up.
"Um, yeah." William said, reaching into his left pocket with his free hand. He took out a necklace that had a sharp rhombus shaped white crystal. Nicholas took it and examined it.
"This is perfect." William smiled at that.
"It really is. Jen insisted that it would be perfect." he glanced at his wife. His brother hummed.
"Uh, so everything went well I hope?" the blonde nodded, barely being able to contain his happiness as he smiled at his brother.
"That's good. Are you ready?" William turned to him. "Of course. I can't wait for him to experience all those things I did."
Nicholas nodded and closed his eyes, taking a few deep breaths. He took a hold of William's hand, focusing on his love and Jennifer's as well since William still didn't let go of her hand. A surge of power ran through him as he held the necklace even tighter. "Invenire eius dilectione, invenire eius dilectione, invenire eius dilectione."
Nicholas eyes snapped open and Jennifer woke up, sitting up. Letting go of his brother's hand, William turned to her, tucking some of her red hair behind her ear.
"Where is he? Is he okay?" she asked, unaware of Nicholas' presence. William grinned.
"Yes, he is completely fine. They should be back with him soon. And, I've got a present for him. Nic-" William turned but only to no one there, the necklace on the other side of the room where the flowers and balloons were.
Finally letting go, he moved to the table and picked it up. Just then, the nurse came in with the baby. He was wrapped up in a blue blanket as he was handed to his mother. William walked over, just as the baby let out a huge yawn.
"What's his name?" the nurse asked, full of emotions at seeing the clearly happy family. Putting a hand on her shoulder, William smiled.
"Kendall. Kendall Francis Knight." he said. At that, the baby's eyes opened slowly. Bright emerald eyes were revealed, a splitting image of those of his father. Even the wisps of hair were already visibly blonde.
"I think he agrees." at that, William chuckled softly. The red haired woman held her son closer. She held up his head and William leaned forward. He placed the necklace around his son's neck, careful not to do anything that might upset him.
Immediately, Kendall grabbed it with his little hands. He held it up to look at it for a split second before placing it into his mouth, smiling and laughing around it.
This caused both parents to smile, looking at each other, their eyes shiny with tears. William's dropped first as he sat beside his wife. "I love you." he said, leaning his head on her shoulder as they watched their son being clearly content with his necklace.
"I love you too." she whispered back, moving forward and pressing a kiss to Kendall's head. He looked up at her, drool all around his mouth as he grinned, laughing.
17 YEARS LATER
"Kendall, sweetie, get up ! It's time for school!" a woman said behind his door, knocking on it before moving down the hall. The blonde groaned, slowly peeling his eyes open. He sat up, stretching his arms up. The shirtless blonde stood up, checking his phone for the time. 6:35 AM. It usually took him until 7:10 to get ready for school which began at 8.
He glanced at himself in the body mirror next to his bed and only then did he notice that the necklace around his neck felt slightly warmer than usual. He looked down and held the crystal that he's had for as long as he could remember. Kendall brushed it off and moved to his closet, a yawn escaping him as he opened it. Searching through it, he found a wine red V-neck that was only slightly wrinkled.
He slid on the shirt, the dark color complementing his pale skin. Moving towards his dresser, he took off his sweatpants and covered his legs with black skinny jeans. He grabbed his phone and put it in his back pocket, grabbing his grey Vans backpack and going into the bathroom down the hall.
He dropped his backpack next to him, a slight sigh escaping at his appearance. "Finally awake?" his younger sister, Katie, asked while walking in.
"Oh be quiet! And why are you up? You're still in middle school and it's literally across the street." he asked, making eye contact through the mirror. He grabbed his blue toothbrush, turning on the sink as he put it under the water. Turning if off, he grabbed the white toothpaste and spread it across, putting it in his mouth after.
"Early bird gets the worm. And if you'd notice, you'd see that I got the last bit of coffee. So none of you." the 12 year old brunette smiled up at her older brother. He shot a glare at her. After a minute of brushing, he spit out the toothpaste.
"Demon spawn." he said, quickly rinsing out his mouth. He wiped his mouth on the back of his hand.
Katie ducked from the hand headed to ruffle her hair. "I'll take that as a compliment. Also, you should really put on shoes." with a sweet smile, she went out, taking a sip of coffee.
She doesn't even need it , the blonde thought, rolling his eyes. He grabbed his phone and swiped through the notifications. They were mostly from a few friends that were only texting him since today was the first day of junior year. Though, he didn't dismiss the ones from his best friend, Logan Mitchell.
The two grew up together as their families were good friends. Though some at school speculated that the boys were dating, they were always wrong. Logan was like a younger brother to Kendall and he never thought of him in that way. Another cool thing is that Logan had a necklace like his. They both assumed that it was just a cool thing since they were both babies when they received it.
He pressed it and read the text. 'Ahh, I'm so ready for school ! Summer has been boring and I finished all the books Ms. Collins recommended in like 2 weeks' . The blonde chuckled and began typing.
'Ofc you did lol. Meet me the coffee shop down the street from your place, Katie took the rest' hitting send, he grabbed his backpack, slinging it over his shoulder. He went downstairs and found his black Vans, fresh black socks on top of them. He had prepared the night before, already knowing that he would forget. He slid on the socks, quickly followed by the shoes.
A grey sweater was near his shoes and he slid it on. The weather was currently in the annoying phase where it was cold in the morning but hot by noon.
He went into the kitchen where he found his mom, assembling the last parts of Katie's lunch. His was already on the table, the bag labeled 'Kendall'. He grabbed it, stuffing it into his backpack.
"My baby, ah, you're all grown up." Jennifer said, cradling his face into her hands. Kendall laughed.
"C'mon mom, I still have 2 years left of high school." Jennifer lightly swatted his cheek before going back to cutting mangoes.
"I know, I know. But still, it was just like yesterday I was holding you." she said, her voice catching. Kendall embraced her.
"It's okay Mom, but it's what happens." Jennifer put a hand to his chest, pushing him slightly so that she could escape his hold.
"Yeah yeah, you'll understand when you have kids. But you should really start walking if you wanna go get coffee and get to school before the bell." she said, folding her arms.
"How'd you-" "Katie kept begging me to let her drink coffee only so you'd have to go get it." she explained. Kendall nodded. Sure does sound like something she'd do
"Alright, well, bye Mom! I'll text you if anything comes up after school and when I'll be getting here." he answered. On his way, he grabbed the keys to his black Nissan Altima, a gift from his dad's side of the family when he got his permit.
His father had been killed when Katie was barely 3, making him 8 at the time. He had been coming home from work and a drunk driver swerved into his lane, killing him almost instantly. Kendall brushed those thoughts aside, unlocking his car. Letting it warm up, he checked his phone to see if he had gotten a response.
'Typical Katie lol, be there in 5' was what Logan had sent 3 minutes ago. Kendall put down his backpack into the passenger's seat, along with his phone. Backing out of the driveway, he put on his seat belt before turning to the right, headed towards the genius' street.
The little coffee shop, PalmWoods Cafe, was one of the most popular places in their small town, Sherwood, Minnesota. Everyone knew everyone and accepted each other. Kendall and Logan were one of the most popular students at their school, their families both residing in the town for generations.
Kendall parked in the little parking lot, 4 other cars there as well. Getting out of the vehicle, he grabbed his phone and shut the door, locking it. He saw his best friend waiting by the entrance, a typical Logan outfit on.
Most of his skin was covered by a black hoodie and grey jeans. Black Converse covered his feet and he had on his black backpack. His chocolate eyes were wide and his dark hair was combed neatly to one side. He was pretty attractive and both guys and girls at their school classified him as the 'sexy nerd'.
"Forget to comb your hair?" Logan asked, a teasing smirk as he pointed at the blonde bed hair.
"Ah shit, I knew I was forgetting something." Kendall face palmed. He held up his phone, trying to use the reflection to fix it.
"Eh, leave it. Suits you." Logan said. Kendall put down his phone, making a face.
"Shut up. Now come on before I decide to buy you nothing." the blonde said, opening the door and getting in before Logan could reply. The ravenette laughed and followed the blonde.
"Uh, one coffee black. And another with cream and two sugars." Kendall ordered for himself and Logan.
"And two chocolate chip muffins." Logan added, shooting a bright smile to the 20 year old behind the counter. Despite being 3 years older, a blush spread across her cheeks. Everyone also knew Logan as a flirt as well, with being bisexual expanding his horizons. Kendall was in between jock and your nice gay best friend.
"Uh-huh, c'mon ladies man. Don't get her arrested." emerald eyes rolled. The ravenette chuckled as they sat down at one of the small tables. A few people were there but didn't take notice of the teenagers.
"So you excited ? I know I am ! I'm taking calculus and physics so should be fun." the genius said. He was the one that talked most of the time.
"Uh yeah , I guess. You think this year Jett will finally the me the fuck alone?" Kendall asked. Logan pretended to think hard.
"Well, considering that he hasn't stopped trying to get you since you came out and constantly pulls stunts to get your attention, I would have to say the solid answer is no. But hey, maybe this time you'll find a good guy! I heard my parents talking about how two new families just moved here and that they're sons are coming to Rocque High. Should be interesting." both males shrugged. Their order was called and they picked it up, Kendall paying.
LINE BREAK
Arriving at school, both males could feel the gemstones touching their skin get somewhat hotter. "You feel that?" Logan asked, noticing the blonde also took out his necklace to examine it.
"Yeah. Though I doubt it's anything. C'mon, let's go." Kendall said. Logan passed him his backpack and they got out of the blonde's car. After locking it, they made their way into the school. They received waves and nods from the people they knew until they reached their lockers. They were always lucky enough to have them next to one another.
"Fuck, this thing is actually burning now." Logan said, wincing slightly as he touched it. Kendall reached out to touch it though it felt completely cool. Kendall touched his own, feeling a hot sensation on his finger tip.
"I can't feel yours but I can feel mine. That's never happened before." a frown set on the blonde's face. Logan took a sip of his sweet coffee.
"Oh no. Here comes Stetson." Logan groaned, looking over Kendall's shoulder. Kendall turned, only to see that his best friend was in fact correct. Jett was headed right towards them.
"Hey, sweet thang. How was your summer?" he winked, giving a flirty smile to the blonde. Kendall gave a sarcastic one in return.
"Great actually. Yeah, I didn't see you at all which was the highlight of both months." he said sweetly. He held on tighter to his coffee cup, taking a step back when Jett took one closer.
"Whoa whoa, calm down there casa-nova." Logan said, a glare directed at Jett. The younger male didn't let down until Jett took two steps back.
"Whatever." the dirty blonde scoffed, leaving. Kendall let out a sigh, Logan patting his shoulder.
"Is okay man, he'll fuck off one day." Kendall let out a humorless laugh.
"Please, that'll only happen when I get a boyfriend. And that isn't soon." the blonde said. His best friend laughed.
"You never know. Love hits you- holy. New guys!" Logan said, his eyes trained at the entrance. Kendall turned once more and that's when it happened.
Hazel clashed with emerald. It felt as though he had been shocked by his necklace. Now this is a 'you never know' moment.
So what do you guys think? I'd love to know cause I'm not so sure about this one! Again, I'm sorry if I don't update for a while. I will do my best to make sure I do get some updates out ASAP. Uh, reviews are always appreciated and I'm always open to suggestions ! :)
