A/N: Hey guys. I'm trying to make this as non-cliche as possible, but it's turning out to be hard. Anyways, enjoy.

Disclaimer: I don't own anything but Arella.


Max POV

I couldn't pay attention in English. Not when I had two hours left to meet him. I looked around to see if anyone else was nervous also. No one else was, besides Fang (we have every class together). I secretly wondered if we were together, but then I thought against it. There's no way he'd like me, since we were so close and all. I fidgeted in my chair until the bell rang for lunch. One more period to go before I met my soul mate.


Fang POV

Max and I made our way over to our friends for lunch- Iggy, Gazzy, Nudge, Angel, and Arella. Max was still nervous, I could tell. The way she bit her lip, and she kept glancing at the ground. When we finally sat down at the table, everyone looked at us like we were growing wings.

"What is wrong with you two? I mean, you, Fang, would've made a comment about Max, like about her hair or something, and then Max would've made a comeback about your face or something, and you would've said something back, which would've caused us to roll our eyes and stuff. Oh, speaking of rolling eyes, my older sister did that to my mom and she almost lost her head. That would've been so gross don't you think? I think-" Arella slapped her hand across her mouth.

"Shut it." Arella said. She was a bit like me in the no talking department. Well, of course, since we're cousins and all. We all just stared at Nudge as she blushed and looked away sheepishly. That was the exact reason why we called her Nudge- you have to nudge her to shut up.

Gazzy and Angel are pretty self-explanatory. Iggy on the other hand, is different. Iggy, Gazzy, and Angel are siblings, Gazzy and Angel being twins a year younger than Iggy. Iggy's real name is Izadore, and his nickname was Izzy. But Angel and Gazzy kept calling him Iggy, and the name stuck.

Arella's my cousin, as I said before, and she's Max's best friend, besides me. Arella's on the short side, being 5'4" to my 5'11", but she can kick ass. She doesn't talk much, unless she's with people she feels really comfortable with. We have the same completion, and almost have the same hair style. Funny enough, her's is the shorter one. She has a pixie with an undercut, and has the tips dyed purple. And she's constantly wearing purple contacts.

I glanced at Max one more time, and looked at my clock. '30 minutes,' I thought. I glanced at Max again, who was in a deep conversation with Arella. 'Please, let me be her soul mate,' I thought, digging in to my food finally.


Arella POV

I looked at my clock. Mine started counting down in gym this morning. '1 hour,' I thought. The only person who knew was Max. 'I wonder who my soul mate is,' I thought.

"Don't worry about it." Max said, eating her pizza. I looked at her. She looked nervous for hers, and kept glancing at my cousin. I smirked.

'I bet they're mates,' I thought, eating my food.
