Here's Chapter 4 of Soulmates Found (Kinda). There's a bit of drama, a bit of fluff, and a hint of romance. Also, this is probably gonna be my last update for two weeks since final exams are coming up and my computer/phone time is limited due to studying...

Disclaimer: I do not own Marvel. I wish I did.

Ch. 4

The weekend passed quickly, very quickly and soon it was Monday. Annette closed her locker and looked around the hall, she was almost completely alone. She had came to school early, and there were only two other people in the hall. Annette inched closer to see who it was, as the couple was obviously making out. Annette's jaw fell open in shock. It was Hamilton and Tessa. Annette gasped. Loudly. Tessa looked up and right at Annette.

"You," Tessa hissed angrily.

"What the hell are you doing?" Annette exclaimed. Tessa shrugged.

"You're cheating on Bucky!" Annette exclaimed.

"Don't you dare tell him," Tessa threatened.

"Why the hell shouldn't I?" Annette demanded.

"I'll tell the whole school you screwed Carter"

"That's a lie," Annette hissed.

"No one will believe you," Tessa said. Annette looked down at that. Tessa was right. No one would believe her. Annette was just a new student. Tessa had her stakes in long before Annette did.

"Fine. I won't tell anyone," Annette said grudgingly.

"Good," Tessa smirked and walked away. Annette sighed, knowing it would be a long day.

Annette didn't see Bucky until first hour. She and Jade were sitting in their Chem class, going over notes. About a minute before the bell rang, Bucky and Bobbi ran in and slid into their seats.

"Nearly late again, I see," Jade teased. Bobbi blushed slightly, "Yeah..."

"And here you were, telling me not to be late on the first day," Jade joked.

"They do," Bobbi replied. Jade chuckled at that as Annette looked at Bucky then looked down. She felt bad for knowing his girlfriend cheated on him. But Annette couldn't tell him. And it was killing her inside. The teacher began class at that moment, talking about elements and the periodic table. Annette couldn't stop looking at Bucky, though. She just stared at him.

"Annette!" Jade suddenly hissed, kicking her under the table. Annette looked up as the teacher called on her.

"Ms. Bower, what does the atomic number symbolize?" The teacher asked.

"The atomic number is the number of protons in an element," Annette responded. The teacher nodded and turned back to the board. Annette settled back in her seat. She frowned again. Annette wasn't happy. The teacher ended the lesson and passed out the worksheet.

"So..." Bucky looked at Annette and Jade.

"What?" Annette asked.

"You guys wanna work on the worksheet with us?" Bucky offered.

"Sure!" Jade instantly jumped at the chance to work with Bobbi. Annette smirked at her cousin as Bucky and Bobbi moved their chairs closer to Annette and Jade to make it easier to work with them. The four started down at the worksheet.

"Well...it's on the periodic table so let's start there," Bobbi reasoned.

"Sounds good," Jade said. Bobbi pulled out her phone and unlocked it, pulling up a picture of a periodic table. Jade couldn't help but notice the password for Bobbi's phone, '5233'. It was a rather odd number to have as a password.

"What's your password mean?" Jade blurted out. Bobbi looked up and at her.

"I didn't mean..." Jade blushed.

"No. It's fine...Each number stands for a letter," Bobbi replied. Jade nodded, "Oh." They turned back to the work. Annette kept glancing at Bucky, feeling bad. He was texting Tessa. He didn't even know she cheated on him. And with Hamilton too! Neither of them knew. Only Annette knew. But she was forced to keep it a secret. Or else possibly be called a s*ut.

But Annette had gone through being called worse after Jade had come out. Being the cousin of a lesbian resulted in some names. And rumors. Lots of them. The worst kinds of rumors too. Those of inappropriate relationships. Annette wasn't scared of Tessa. She would tell them!

"Bucky?" Bucky looked up, "Yeah?"

"Tessa's cheating on you" Bucky's face crumpled up.

"I'm sorry" Annette whispered.

"With who?" Bucky asked painfully.

"Hamilton" Bucky looked instantly at Bobbi. She looked rather unsurprised by the news.

"Bucky are you mad at me?" Annette whispered.

"Why would I be mad at you?" Bucky asked. Annette shrugged.

"I'm not mad at you, Annette," Bucky said softly. Annette gave him a small smile. Bucky smiled back. He then looked at Bobbi, "How are you not surprised by this?"

"Hamilton and I broke up over the weekend," she replied. Jade perked up at that.

"You and Hamilton broke up?" She asked, a hint of hope in her voice.

"Yeah...we got into an argument about what Carter nearly did to Annette." Jade nodded, "So now you're single."

"Yeah. Now I'm single," Bobbi said with a nod. Jade nodded at that. Annette nudged her cousin, smirking.

"Ask her out," Annette whispered.

"Only if you ask out Bucky"

"He just found out his girlfriend was cheating on him"

"So? They're gonna break up and you can ask him out" Annette rolled her eyes at her cousin.

"I'll ask her out when you ask Bucky out," Jade whispered.

"I'm not gonna ask him out," Annette whispered back.

"Then I'm not gonna ask Bobbi out," Jade whispered. Annette rolled her eyes. Jade turned back to the homework. Annette smirked at that. She knew Jade wasn't a fan of schoolwork. And Jade never willingly jumped at doing schoolwork. But then again, Annette knew of Jade's not so subtle attraction towards Bobbi. And Annette knew Jade would do her work to impress Bobbi. And maybe eventually get the guts to ask her out.

"So...I'm confused with this," Jade said.

"Which part?" Bobbi asked.

"All of it," Jade shrugged. Bobbi chuckled softly at that. Jade pouted, "Seriously. I have no clue what any of this means."

"I'll help you," Bobbi said. Jade nodded as they began to look over the worksheet. Annette smirked at the scene. She was amused at how love struck Jade looked. It was amusing to her. Her normally badass cousin, looking like a love struck teen. Annette just hoped they would get together. And she hoped Bucky would break up with Tessa. Because Tessa wasn't good for Bucky.

Annette glanced at Bucky. His head was hung and his shoulders were shaking. It looked like he was crying. Annette felt terrible for him. Annette put her arm around his shoulder.

"Why would she do this?" He whimpered.

"She's a stupid person for doing this to you" Annette said. Bucky whimpered again. Annette hugged him tightly. Bucky whimpered again, tears falling.

"I'm sorry," Annette whispered painfully, able to feel some of the pain Bucky was. Bucky shook his head. He hugged himself tightly.

Later, before lunch, Bucky stood near Tessa's locker, waiting for her. Tessa walked up.

"Hey." She went to kiss him. Bucky took a step back.

"Tessa. No," he said.

"Bucky? What is this about?" Tessa asked.

"You cheated on me" Tessa laughed, "Why would I do that?"

"You. Cheated. On. Me." Bucky repeated.

"Who put such a ridiculous idea in your mind," Tessa said with a laugh. Bucky shook his head at her.

"Bucky. Why would I cheat on you?" Tessa asked, placing a hand on his chest. Bucky shook his head again.

"Tessa. Stop," he said.

"But Bucky..." Tessa whined, stepping closer.

"No!" Bucky nearly shouted. Tessa took a step back and glared at him.

"You'll be sorry you broke up with me, James Barnes," Tessa threatened before storming off. Bucky shook his head and headed to lunch. Tessa's words were still in his mind.

She would make him pay. Bucky was slightly worried. He hoped it wouldn't be too bad. But knowing Tessa, it would. She could be an evil b*tch when she wanted to be. And Bucky knew that. Bucky knew full well how much of a b*tch Tessa could be. He wasn't worried about himself. Bucky was, however, worried for Annette. Annette had not yet faced the wrath of Tessa. Bucky hoped he could protect her from it. He would do his best to, at least. Bucky shook his head to clear it and headed to lunch.

And there is Chapter 4! Anyone who guesses what Bobbi's phone password means gets a virtual hug! :D
