"Those things worked well, as far as I used to think. My mom and my dad were perfect, and everybody was so happy with who they had, and I used to dream about who my soulmate would be. He would have blue eyes and brown hair and he would love to sing an- sorry, I'm rambling," she said, shutting up.

"It's alright. I don't mind listening." Eli replied gently.
"Really? Everyone used to hate me cause of all my talking," she said, trailing off and sighing.
"Well. I haven't talked to anyone in a while so.." He shrugged
"Well, you'll get sick of me soon enough," she said, shrugging and not saying anything, continuing eating.
Eli shrugged. He ate some but not much. Not being hungry.
"Okay, so when I was younger, my friends and I would have sleepovers and we would all talk about our future soul mates, and I remember dreaming about it and constantly thinking about what we would do... I've never met anyone like they guy I fell in love with as a girl. And it's probably never gonna happen," she said, cracking a smile.
"You never know. You may find him eventually. He's probably just lost or something." He commented.
She shook his head. "Maybe he's dead. Whatever, I was a little girl, and it was a stupid fantasy," she said, biting her lip.
"If he was dead, your timer probably would just stop counting or would change times and count down to your death.." He commented.
"Then where is he? It went off the moment I met you, and yours went off before, so clearly there's something wrong," she said, frowning and eating another blackberry.
"I dunno. Mine has always been weird so maybe yours is correct and mine is broken." He mumbled softly, looking away.
She snorted, shaking her head. "I'm sorry, but are you suggesting that we're soul mates? We are total opposites. I'm sure you despise me, and I don't exactly like you either," she said, frowning.
Eli rolled his eyes. "My timer has never worked right. Maybe yours does. And maybe just because I may be your soulmate doesn't mean I'm yours."
"Fair enough. That'd be depressing, if you were mine but I wasn't yours. Anyways, I don't think I'll ever like you." She said, staring at the sky.
"Well, thanks." He mumbled with another roll of his eyes.
"It's true. You're... You." She said, not sure how else to word it.
"What? Am I not handsome enough for you?" He asked, clearly teasing.
Ella laughed, shaking her head. "Well, there's that," she said, teasing as well.
She smiled, studying his face. "You're actually pretty attractive, just saying," she said, finishing off her food.
"Whatever." He rolled his eyes at her
She shrugged. "Not as good-looking as the guy I dreamed of, obviously," she said, smiling.
"Oh whatever. I'd beat him in a fight anyway." He replied.
She giggled, rolling her eyes. "In your dreams, bud," she said.
"I would. It'd be easy." He shrugged.
She shrugged. "You don't look like you could beat someone up." She said.
"Maybe not today but I could." He replied.
"You look like the sweet, cuddly type, not the 'I'll kill you' type." She commented, shrugging.
"Whatever. Before all this I was out in fights pretty much every night." He mumbled.
"Yeah, yeah, okay, but I don't think I can imagine that," she said, smiling.
Eli shrugged. "It's the truth. but whatever."
"Whatever," she echoed, shifting. "Does it still hurt?" She asked, changing the topic.
"Okay, but it might get infected," she said, biting her lip.
"I know. I'll take good care of it." He nodded.
She glanced at him. "Did you ever have any pets?" She asked, not sure what else to say.
"Ooh, did you have dogs?" She asked, smiling and watching him.
"Aww, were they cute? I always wanted pets, but my mom was allergic." She said:
"Aw, oh my god, you're so lucky," she said, smiling.
Eli smiled faintly. "Eh. I guess so."
Ella shivered. The fact her shirt was all ripped up didn't help. She wrapped her arms around herself, cursing the breeze.
Eli frowned slightly. Glancing to her.
She had goosebumps all over her arms. She looked at him. "What?"
"Here." He pulled out an old worn hoodie from his bag and offered it to her.
"You sure?" She said, taking it. "Wouldn't want someone as naïve as me wearing your hoodie?" She said, grinning.
Eli nodded. "I'm sure. I don't mind."
