CHAPTER 1: teacher x student

Rebecca

'Thread of Faith'

It's funny how the world changed in one single moment, bringing something almost unreal and almost magical. Today it is something that is taught in school, has its own holiday and events ,and brought more couples on this world

Hi I'm Rebecca Gray , I'm 19 years old ,your average high school girl,absolutely terrible in sports, not academically gifted in class, spend her entire time reading romance novels. I live with my younger brother, Jonathan, who can be a seriously pain in the ass and my parents ,who were connected by the Thread of faith and they are still together, they became my biggest motivator to find my soulmate

Although Thread of faith is something that even scientists haven't have gotten full information and still a mystery, only limited information was been collected. Like no one knows anything about it other than connecting two people.

I rode my bicycle as I passed by the busy streets, it was a busy afternoon but it never stopped me to ride my bicycle, time like this it's a always a perfect time to meet your soulmate, yes , only a ring appeared on my pinky finger but no Thread. It's something that might take a long time , and some never got one . But that never stopped me from trying to find my soulmate

I hopped off my bicycle before it even stopped and I placed it on the side off the wall , I patted my cat whiskers , as it purred in response before I entered the house

"I'm home " I said as I took off my shoes and wore my slippers, I came by the living room to spot my younger brother, Jonathan playing video games, so investedon that screenthat he barely noticed im there, I tilted my head and I smiled "I said , I'm home …." I spoke again in order to catch his response but he only responded with a roll of his eyes

I giggled as I sat beside him and fished one of the console on the table ,

"Where's mom?"

"Why don't you go look for her?"

"....Is she home? "

" do you see her around? "

"You know, for a 12 year old ,you have some balls to talk to me like that?"

I smacked him on the back , he winced in pain , I sighed as I placed the console down, I stood up and went to the kitchen.

"So where have you been? " Jonathan asked while his eyes was still glued on the screen

"I was just riding my bicycle, nothing else "

"Do you manage to find your soulmate in the process?"

"Not yet….."

"Forget about it then , you're so obsessed with the Thread of faith thing or whatever its called, that's why you're lonely as hell"

I sighed, well as much as i wanted to land one of my smacks on that head of his, he wasn't wrong there , i am obsessed with the thread of faith , Iwas always excited to get the ring then the thread , but the thread never showed up , i shook my head as i ignored those lingering thoughts, I took some juice on the fridge and went back , I went back to my seat .

"what are you playing? "

"...a game"

"do you want a smack on that face of yours? "

"Fine, I'm planning call of tudy"

I looked at the screen with curiosity, I took the console

"I wanna play too"

"not a chance "

*spank on the face"

"Rebecca!? "

"You're going to add me ?"

Jonathan let out an exaggerated sigh as he added me on the game , we played for a while as I kept on losing, I'm sure Jonathan might have tampered with my console, I swear I had more deaths than a kid trying to play for the first time

I leaned against the chair , "I quit" I said with a gasp as Jonathan smirked in satisfaction . The room got silent for a while, the only sound coming was from the ticking from the sound and the sound from the console and the screen

"Hey ….Rebecca? "

"What?"

" the Thread of faith.... Will help you find a soulmate, just be patient "

".....you know you're really look stupid trying to give some advice " i teased him as he flushed embarrassed

"H-hey ,stop that Rebecca "

I chuckled as we sat there for a while . I decided to head to my room while Jonathan decided to stay in playing for a while , God knows how much I'll struggle waking up that suckered tomorrow morning for school if he decides to spend the night

I went to take a shower ,after that, I didn't waste any time and I went to my bed and threw myself in , letting the softness of the bed snuggle me in. I stared blankly on the ceiling. I raised my hand as I looked at my ring , it was just a silver plain ring on my left pinky finger , just waiting for a red Thread to get attached to it

I sighed as I looked at my phone and scrolled through my phone before Anna , my best friend called me

"Hey Anna" I answered

"Ruby you ain't gonna believe this " she squealed in delight

"so you know that our PE teacher retired " she continued "we are getting a new substitute , and he is so hot ,oh my gosh"

I chuckled in response "Anna ,stop crushing on your teacher, maybe he is married "

"Yes he is , but it doesn't matter, besides its not a crime admiring someone right, you are just saying that because you haven't seen him yet , hold on let me show you his pic"

I rolled my eyes,but my eyes widened when she sent me a message, i went and opened the photo. My eyes met the guys green emerald eyes , my heart skipped a beat as i saw his intense body , despite the photo being a portrait, i could already imagine his bodybuild . I was basically drooling just at the sight of the photo and I quickly shook my head, this was my teacher for Christ sake

Anna was one of my friends I had since kindergarten and we are still so close , she was the first one to get a Thread, which I was kinda jealous, because even though someone else can't see your Thread, the ring will turn red . But ofcourse Anna doesn't even care about it and she said she will wait until her soulmate will come to her , or maybe she's just anxious

Her mother is a teacher ,so she tends to get the juicy stuff first and she will always tell me . We talked for what felt for hours before we decided to end the call , I covered myself with a blanket as I looked at my open window

I took a deep breath ,I closed my eyes as I made a little wish that I always make after the ring appeared "God... wherever you are ,and if you are listening....I come once again, I wish to find my soulmate "
