Nini's POV

Everyone hovered over Ricky's ankle while still in our circle to see who his soulmate was.

"3... 2... 1..." We all said.

"IT SAYS GINA!" Carlos screamed, happily "Sorry, I'm extremely excited and happy"

"Yay!" We all said.

"Guys..." Ashlyn said still looking at the fancy letters on Ricky's ankle "It says Gina Salzar-Roberts..."

"What?" I asked, confused. I looked at his ankle. "No, that's Nina. Not Gina"

"Who's Nina?" EJ asked.

"My real name" I told them embarrassed "Ricky couldn't say his vowels in kindergarten so called my Nini and it stuck. I never like Nina"

"Guys" Seb interrupted "Not the point"

"You're right" Kourtney said "Why does it say your name Nini?"

"I... I don't know" everyone looked at me. Ricky and I locked eyes "I... Need some air" I said as I broke off eye contact again with Ricky.

I walked out of the fort and Ricky and the gang followed me. Gina looked at me with hatred in her eyes.

"I'm... I'm sorry. I'm gonna go" I said getting up from the chair I was sitting at, lifting my bag and about to leave.

"I love you" Ricky blurted out. I span my head around and looked at him, looked at Gina who was angrily looking at Ricky with question in her eyes "I've loved you since the first time you picked up your ukulele and wrote a song about clouds. A silly little sing about clouds. And that night in your room, all those years ago, when you told me that you loved me, I meant to say it, I meant to say it and I've kicked myself every day since then because I didn't say it. But I do. I love you" my eyes started tearing up a while ago by now "I've loved you since seventh grade when I made you ride in the front row seats of Demon's Destiny at Six Flags and you told me you sometimes get a little seasick on rollercoasters and I said 'come on, live a little.'"

"I remember" I told him, I had completely forgot we had an audience and I think he did too, one of those people in the audience being his girlfriend, but at this rate not for long I bet.

"Yeah. And then I puked all over your shoes and you didn't even make me feel bad about it. No, you just said um..."

"No worries. I've been wanting to get rid of these shoes for awhile" I finished for him, but he continued.

"Yeah, because you outgrew them. The thing is, I never outgrew you. And I don't know what happens tomorrow, or in two minutes when we walk out that door. All I know is... I want this feeling to keep going. Because this whole experience... I'm just... I'm not ready for it to be over. For us to be, I mean. And if that means doing a musical then fine"

"I get to pick the musical" I said.

"Fine! That's fine! It's all fine. But I won't want this to be a showmance. Really, I'll want it to be the real thing. I mean it feels like it is the real thing I just... I want a chance to prove it. I do. I mean... I..."

"Ricky" I started "You know in musicals when you break out in song when you've ran out of things to say?"

"Yeah?" he said smiling.

"Sometimes it's easier to just kiss" I said walking towards him.

"Yeah" he repeated, only this time smiling bigger as we kissed.

"I guess we are over then Ricky?" Gina asked with her voice full of hatred.

"Uhh, yeah..." Ricky answered awkwardly scratching the back of his neck "Can we still stay friends though?"

          

"I don't know Ricky, I mean I'm happy for you. And that was suuuuper sweet but... I know I said we would still be friends if we weren't soulmates but that was before I found out my best friend was your soulmate" she said "I hope you grow old and have beautiful kids"

She walked out of Big Red's house with her stuff.

"Gina! Wait" I called after her but she was too far away.

"So, Nini. Will you be my girlfriend?". Ricky asked me. I smiled and nodded.

"Don't you feel a little bit guilty?" I asked Ricky.

"Uhh, not much. I mean, we weren't meant to be so..." He responded.

"That was a really sweet speech you know. It was really heartfelt and as if you had been practicing it for a while" I looked away from Ricky and started talking to Ashlyn.

*Later that evening*

"Well, everyone else is asleep, soulmate. What do you wanna do?" Ricky asked me.

"Well, soulmate" I started "Wait. Where's my tattoo? Was I not supposed to get a tattoo after we kissed?" I started freaking out. (Got this idea from MusicalMya thanks!)

"Yeah, you were... Did you not?" Ricky asked me.

"No, why didn't I get my tattoo" I started to stress "It's supposed to be here" I pointed to my left ankle.

"Um... calm down... Uh... We will... Uh... Fix this" he stuttered, unsure "Somehow"

"Do you need to..." Ashlyn asked, trailing off at the end.

"Ashlyn! You're awake! I thought you were asleep" I said looking at her.

"No, I'm awake" she laughed "So, do you think you need to do more than kiss? I mean because you have been friends and even in a relationship before does that not change the rules?"

"No, it's in soulmates rulebook" Ricky told us "Gina's mom works for the soulmates system and told me once"

"Gina's mom... Works for the... The soulmates system" I stuttered.

"Yeah, what's wrong with thaaaa... Oh" he just realized what had undoubtedly happened "That girl needs to sort out her priorities"

We walked down to the soulmates factory and asked what was wrong. The man working there did a test on me and said that I was his soulmate but I wouldn't get my mark until I turned 18 because of some sort of blood thing so we left it and went back to Big Red's.

*Three months later*

I still haven't talked to Gina... Well... I have texted her but she hasn't talked or replied to me. Today Ricky is taking me out of a date. We are going to Denny's.

We were walking into Denny's when we saw a familiar face sitting at a seat.

"Hey Gina" I said, walking over.

"Nini. Ricky" she said with hatred.

"Why can't we be friends anymore?" I asked her.

"You stole my man and broke my heart. Goodbye" she got up and left.

*5 years later*

Gina and I still haven't spoken since she left Denny's all those years ago. We are pretty sure she moved.

Ricky's name came up on my ankle and we were delighted.

Tonight Ricky is taking me on a date, we are going to a fancy restaurant.
