So this is a Soulmate AU, and for those of you who don't know what a Soulmate AU is, I will explain. A Soulmate AU is a type of story where there are soulmates and the characters figure out who their soulmates are in some way, either with a timer or a sense change or by first words. This is a first words AU, meaning each character has the first words their soulmate will say to them tatooed somewhere on their body. Also, this is co-written by MarvelIsMyLife.

Ch. 1

It was the start of a new school year at SHIELD High, and students were buzzing about, looking for homerooms, finding lockers, and catching up with friends. There were three students who were not buzzing about, and instead were waiting in front of the office. Jade and Takeda Okaia and their cousin, Annette Bower, had switched schools over the summer.

Annette brushed back her black and blue hair. "I hope these kids dont call Jade Lesbi" "I will punch them in the f*cking face if they do," Jade said, "My status of a lesbian should be of no concern to them."

"Remember what Mom told you this morning," Takeda reminded his older sister.

"Yes Takeda. I remember what Mom said," Jade said, rolling her eyes. And she did, she remembered her mom reminding her not to get into fights about people's opinions on her sexual orientation. A blond girl walked up and said" I'm Jamie Cortez and I'll be showing you around"

"Takeda," Takeda introduced, "This is my sister, Jade, and our cousin, Annette." He motioned to the other two.

"So why'd you guys change schools?" Jamie asked as they walked down the hall. "Bullying" Jamie nodded and let the subject drop.

"What grades are you guys in?" Jamie asked.

"Takeda's a freshman. Annette and I are Juniors," Jade answered. Jamie nodded. As they walked down the hall, Jade looked around. There was one student who caught her eye. She was tall, blonde, and from what Jade could tell, incredibly beautiful...She was also with a guy who seemed to be her boyfriend. Takeda nudged his sister, "Found someone you like?"

"Shut up. Besides, she's taken," Jade replied. Annette said" Doesn't look like she's happy" Jade shrugged, "She's probably straight anyways." Annette and Takeda exchanged a look before each grabbed one of Jade's arms and began dragging her over to the girl she had been staring at.

"Whoa! HEY!" The two unceremoniously shoved her into the girl before taking off. It worked like they expected it too, and the two tumbled to the ground.

"S*it, I am so sorry about this, my friends are a**holes," Jade began to apologize.

"No, no, it's fine," the girl said. Jade froze upon hearing the words, they were the same ones printed on the soulmark on her hip. The same words her soulmate would say upon their first time meeting. Could it be that this girl was her soulmate?

"So uh...What's your name?" The girl asked, snapping Jade out of her thoughts.

"Jade Okaia"

"Nice to meet you...I'm Bobbi...Was that guy with you your boyfriend?"

"No...He's my brother," Jade answered as the bell rang.

"That's the bell," Bobbi said, "You should probably get to class...the teachers here hate it when students aren't on time."

"Thanks for the advice" Jade said.

"No problem," Bobbi shrugged. Jade headed off to find her first class, she would yell at Takeda and Annette later. Bobbi meanwhile, turned to her locker, feeling her boyfriend, Hamilton's, eyes on her.

"You were flirting with her," he accused. "Talking to someone isn't flirting"

"It is the way you were talking to her."

"What the hell is that supposed to mean?" Bobbi demanded.

"It means you remember whose girlfriend you are," Hamilton hissed, grabbing her arm roughly.

"Fine," Bobbi muttered.

"Good," Hamilton released her and walked off. Bobbi sighed as her friend, Bucky, walked up.

"Ready for Chem?" He asked.

"Nope. Never ready for it" Bucky chuckled as they headed to the class. The two got to class about a minute before the bell rang. All the tables were filled. Except for one.


Jade had gotten to her first class shortly after her encounter with Bobbi and sat next to Annette, punching her arm.

"What was that for!" Annette exclaimed. Jade just glared at her.

"So did you two talk?" Annette asked.

"Yes and I wanted to sink through the floor"

"What did you guys talk about?" Jade shook her head, "Nothing substantial...but she said the words." Annette gasped, "No f*cking way." Jade nodded, "Yeah. No joke."

"So what are you going to do about her?" Annette asked.

"I don't know-oh hottie alert" Jade said gesturing to Bucky. Annette looked up and her jaw fell open. Standing in front of their table was the hottest guy Annette had ever seen. Tall with dark hair and just a tiny bit of scruff.

"May we sit here?" Bucky asked, directing the words at Annette. She stared at him in shock. Those were her soulmark words.

"Um, yeah sure" She gestured to the seats. Bucky blinked in surprise before nodding and he and Bobbi sat.

"I thought you said the teachers hate it when students are late," Jade said jokingly to Bobbi.

"I might have taken my time on purpose" Jade couldn't help but smile, "Why?" Bobbi shook her head, "Nothing important...So you guys are new?"

"Yep"

"Why'd you guys change schools?...If you don't mind me asking."

"Bullying" Jade said, not wanting to mention the real reason.

"Okay...Well Principal Coulson has a strict no-bullying rule." Bobbi reached over and patted Jade's hand. The moment their hands touched, it was like a bolt of electricity surged through them. Bobbi instantly withdrew her hand, the words of her boyfriend too clear in her mind. It didn't matter that this new girl had said her soulmark words, Bobbi belonged to Hamilton Slade.

"So what do was the bullying about?" Bobbi asked. Neither Jade nor Annette replied.

"I'm sorry...I didn't mean to push the subject..." Bobbi said, trailing off.

"It's okay"

"Do you want to join us for lunch?" Bobbi blurted out before a look of almost fear crossed her face.

"Sure," Jade nodded. Annette smirked at her cousin. Jade gave her a look that said" Shut up" Annette just smirked again.

"You gonna ask her out?" Annette whispered. "Shut up"

"If she said your words, you probably said her words," Annette whispered. Jade whispered back" She has a boyfriend"

"So? At least get her number on the premise of studying."

"Since when did dark, brooding, 'I hate everything' Annette turn into a matchmaker?" "She's your soulmate. And since you won't ask her out or anything, I have to do it for you." Jade rolled her eyes at her cousin. Annette rolled her eyes back and turned to Bucky and Bobbi.

"Do you guys mind if we exchange numbers. Jade here isn't the best in Chemistry and maybe we can all study together?" Annette said.

"I'm not terrible in Chem," Jade quickly said, "It's just not my strongest subject."

"Give me your phone," Bobbi said, extending her hand. Jade pulled out her phone, unlocked it, and handed it to Bobbi, who put her number and other information into it.

"If you ever need help, just text me," Bobbi explained, handing the phone back.

"Oh. I...I will." Jade nodded.

"So you guys will sit at our table for lunch too, right?" Bucky asked. Annette smiled and nodded, "Of course. Right Jade?"

"Right." Jade nodded, a small blush creeping over her cheeks. Bobbi smiled at her, "You'll get to meet all the others."

"Others?" Jade repeated, her voice going up a few octaves. Bobbi nodded, "Just my boyfriend. Bucky's girlfriend. And some other friends of ours."

"Is your boyfriend your soulmate?" Annette asked suddenly. There was a pause in the conversation.

"No," Bobbi finally answered.

"Do you think you'll ever meet your soulmate?" Annette asked, "Either of you." Bucky just shrugged noncommittally. Annette glanced at her cousin. Jade was frowning. Before anyone could say anything, the bell rang.

"See you guys at lunch?" Bobbi offered.

"Yeah...See you at lunch," Jade agreed as Bucky and Bobbi left.

The moment they had left, Jade put her face on the desk. "We are in deep," She sighed, speaking to Annette.
