You were so pathetic. Drew could barely stand to be around you, let alone wrap her head around the fact that you—out of all the people in the universe—were her soulmate. it was like some kind of cruel, fucked up joke.

She still remembered the moment it happened, when you grabbed her hand to stop her from walking straight into traffic because she was too busy scrolling through her phone. Her fingers had barely brushed yours, but then, bam. The glow. The unmistakable, undeniable soulmate glow.

She’d stared at you like you were a bug she wanted to crush under her heel. And honestly? She still felt that way. You were just so… not what she wanted. Not even close.

She could list the reasons why: 1. You were too kind. Unbearably, disgustingly kind. Always smiling, with that stupid sweet grin and those sparkly eyes like the world was some magical fairy tale. It clashed horribly with her whole mean-girl vibe. 2. You liked nerd stuff. Marvel, comics, anime—all of it. She couldn’t care less about any of that. she was into gossip girl and reality TV, normal things. And when you’d said you’d watch her shows just to make her happy? Ugh. That made it worse.

Okay— maybe that was it. Maybe she only had two reasons. But still, they were big reasons! You were so… not compatible with her.

So how could you possibly be the one she was meant to end up with?
