Soulmates it's a cliché word, believe me I know. I didn't even believe in it, well that was until I met someone and had these weird feelings for. I know that what I have just said is also a sappy cliché. But that's what actually happened.

Let's begin from the very beginning so that you know what I mean. It all started on my first day at Hollywood Arts high school. I walked through the doors for the very first time and ofcourse I was really really really nervous. I went to Sikowitz class for the very first time and still being nervous I freaked out and wanted to leave. Getting out of my chair I pumped into someone.

When I looked up, I was greeted with a death glare. Seriously I'm not even exaggerating ,but if she can kill me with just a glare I would probably be dead right now. By now I bet you have already guessed who is the person I am talking about cause seriously there is only one person that all of us know that has a deathly glare and that person is the one and only Jade August West.

God! Her eyes, They are the most beautiful eyes I have ever seen. It's the kind that you just want to keep looking into even if they were glaring at you. She was wearing a black wifebeater, black jeans and black combat boots. The only thing that had any color beside black in it was her hair, although it was black she had blue streak in it. And God did she look absolutely gorgeous.

"Watch where you going idiot" she said through gritted teeth while still sending me her famous glare.

"I-I'm s-sorry . I didn't see you there" I stammered.

"WHAT! Are you saying that I'm invisible or something?" She growled while taking a step towards me. I am not going to lie I took like two steps back. I wasn't scared but to be honest I thought that she is going to punch me or something.

"What! No not at all I swear. I mean, how come someone as beautiful as you not be seen?" I said without even thinking and then when I saw her face I felt like it was totally worth it, cause this blush on her cheeks made her even more beautiful if that is even possible.

When I told her that she is beautiful and she blushed she gave me a small smile and left to take a seat. After this first encounter I won't lie, I only had eyes for her and ofcourse I was really disappointed when I was told that she was dating Beck.

Months have passed and day after day I started getting jealous of Beck cause he has the one person I have ever truly wanted. She was not just beautiful. She was also smart, funny in her own way and also caring, but that last one she really didn't like to show. As each day passes, the pull towards her becomes stronger and stronger.

At first it was really weird till I remembered something I have read before in greek mythology. It was said that longtime ago, people had a head with 2 faces, 4 arms and 4 legs. They were really strong and Zeus became worried that they might take the places of gods so he separated them, the thing is when he separated them the souls were kinda like cut in half so every human only has a half of one soul and the other half belongs to another one.

I think that's why some people call their significant other their other half or like that actor Neil something he always calls his husband his "better half".

They say when you are near your soulmate, you feel complete and some people never feel whole because they have never met theirs. For me this is a bit of a stretch. I mean to begin with I never believed in the whole soulmate thing. Now I kind of do because of Jade and these weird feelings toward her and when she is around I feel like everything is going to be okay even when she is her ganky self and…..wait! I see what they mean.

You kind of want them around you all the time and when they are, it feels like you are on cloud nine. But the thing is its 2 halves. So shouldn't she be feeling the same too? I mean if the whole soulmate theory is true, she should be feeling what I am feeling. Right? Maybe she does but afraid of showing them because I am a girl and she doesn't know how I feel. Maybe I should be obvious about my feelings towards her but that will be like stabbing Beck in the back and I can't do something like that to a friend.

3 months later…..

I have GREAT news. To be honest I am feeling guilty for being happy but still I am really happy. Jade and Beck broke up. And listen to this… it was a mutual thing. They said their love turned platonic and nothing romantic there. Their dates turned into just two bestfriends hanging out. You know what does this mean right? I have a FREAKING shot with Jade, atleast that's what I think.

Remember when I told you that I will make my feelings known to her? Well now I am doing just that. I keep flirting and I always take her side. I even invited her to come to my house and watch horror movies all night just the two of us.

Not alot of people know this but I am a horror movies geek. I just act scared so that I can hide my face in her shoulder or in her neck. Ofcourse I prefer her neck cause I can smell her jasmine scent which I absolutely adore. But let me tell you. It takes alot of self-control not to kiss her right there and then.

One month later…

She started flirting back and actually sometimes she initiates it. I am thinking of asking her out but I need to make sure that Beck is going to be fine with it first. So I asked if I can talk to him after school and he said we can meet at his RV and that's where I am heading right now.

I arrived at his RV and knocked on its door and ofcourse I was greeted by Beck and his smile. I started feeling nervous cause he might not like me dating his ex but still i can't help the way I feel towards Jade.

"Hey Beck" I said as cheerfully as I can while sitting on his couch.

"Hey Tor. So are you here to ask for my permission to ask Jade out or what? Cause it's about damn time" he said smiling and now I am confused.

"H-how did you know? No one knows except for Andre ofcourse"

"Well I see how you look at her. It's the same way I used to look at her. Also lately you guys have been hanging out together alone alot and I know that this is your idea not hers" he gave me that look and smile that says " I know everything" which obviously he does.

"Soooo are you okay with me asking her out? And do you think she will say yes?" I gulped

" Yes and definitely yes. I have a feeling that Jade feels the same way about you. I don't know if you have noticed but she is a lot happier than anytime I saw her before" he smiled as he thought about it. Now I know that they really see each other as just friends .cause if this wasn't the case he wouldn't be smiling that she is happy with someone other than himself

"Well thank you Beck . I really appreciate it" I got up and hugged him before I left.

After two days from my talk with Beck, I finally had the courage to ask Jade out. I found her standing at her locker talking with Cat. I walked up to them and excused Cat and told her I wanted to speak with Jade .

"KayKay" Cat said and then skipped away.

Jade rose her eyebrow at me and asked "What do you want Vega?"

Here goes nothing I thought then I told her " w-well I was wondering if you want to go out with me. Like on a date you know"

"Are you seriously asking me out on a date right now?" she said while taking a step towards me.

"Yes" I gulped and held my ground.

"Well sure. Pick me up at 7 today"

"Really?" I said not sure if I was hallucinating.

"Jesus! Yes Vega really. And don't be late" she said while walking away then she stopped ,turned around and told me " Oh yeah and if you played your cards right. You might get lucky tonight" she winked and left me blushing over her last statement.

Let me tell you, it was the best first date I have ever had. And I did get lucky. I still think about that day 10 years after it. It was the day that my life changed to the better. I didn't know that falling in love was this amazing. I can now say with all my heart that soulmates is a real thing.

Richard Bach said "A soulmate is someone who has locks that fit our keys, and keys that fit our locks. When we feel safe enough to open the locks, our truest selves step out and we can be completely and honestly who we are."

When I heard that quote I saw how it is totally true. Jade and I we fit perfectly together. Its like we are two puzzle pieces which fit perfectly together. With her I feel complete.

I can say without a doubt that I have found the other half of my soul. Not alot of people is lucky as us but I truly hope that one day they all find their other half and feel as complete as us.

Being soulmates doesn't mean that it's always going to be rainbow and sunshine no it will be like any other relationship with its ups and downs but let me tell you something really important. It is totally one hundred percent worth it.
