The day ended up flying by pretty fast. It felt good talking to Melissa and Callie without holding back any secrets. Just letting everything flow was nice. I said goodbye to them after school before going to find Kevin.

"If Ashton tries anything funny, just kick him where the sun doesn't shine," Melissa cautioned.

I met up with Kevin and Ashton in the parking lot. I was tempted to knock the smirk off Ashton's face that kept getting bigger and bigger.

We were walking towards the cars when a loud voice shouted, "Ashton, wait!"

I knew that voice. Great, it would be so nice running into her here.

Nicole showed up with her two sidekicks, Ramona and Alexis. Thing 1 and Thing 2 as Callie called them. Nicole gave me an openly dirty look before sashaying over to Ashton.

"Are you leaving already?" she asked knotting her hands around his neck.

"Yeah."

"I wish I could come with you, but I have practice now."

"Unfortunate."

"I can always come over later tonight though," she said, trailing a finger down his shirt.

I looked away, and Kevin realized that I must be feeling uncomfortable and decided to walk me over to his car.

"Hey, Kevin," she called with a wave before we could get very far.

Kevin rolled his eyes, clearly annoyed. She gave me a cold once over and then laughed. She redirected her attention to Ashton and gave him a deep kiss. My heart felt like it broke into pieces and shattered to the floor.

"C'mon," Kevin whispered and wrapped an arm around my shoulder, turning me away.

I tore my eyes away from the scene in front of me and walked with Kevin towards his car. He opened the door for me and I got in numbly.

"Liz..."

I shook my head and forced a dazed smile. "I'm okay. She is his girlfriend."

"Yes, but you're his soulmate," he said angrily. He looked back at them through his mirror and his face was disgusted and angry.

I forced another smile. "That doesn't mean anything. Besides, she's really pretty."

Kevin leaned over and ruffled my hair, "And you're drop dead gorgeous. Now tell me how your day went."

He drove off and I breathed a sigh of relief and started talking.

Kevin took extra care to drive at a compromised speed that was neither too fast for me nor too slow for him. He kept glancing at me, ruffling my hair and making lame jokes until I ended up laughing at one of them.

We ended up reaching the palace grounds after Ashton, which wasn't that surprising since he probably defied all traffic laws with his fast driving. I wondered if the need for speed was an Origen thing.

He was slouching on his car, twisting his ring and looking bothered. He walked towards us after we exited the car. He seemed to say something to Kevin using telepathy, and although Kevin still didn't seem pleased with him, he nodded. I didn't bother to inquire what that was about.
