Lilah and Copper were two of the most popular kids in school, she was a cheerleader and he was on the basketball team. They were rich, both were blond, had allergies to cats, and they both were very self centered. They got pretty much everything they wanted, and more.

They had so much in common that it wasn't a surprise when they started walking hand and hand down the hallways sporting identical marks on their shown off calves.

The only thing that was surprising was how much the two had changed since they had met each other. If you saw one away from the other, they were usually in a state of panic, unsure what to do with themselves, they needed each other more than they needed air to breathe, and it was a bitter sweet sight. I had never seen two people change so much in the span of two weeks.

I had read about Identical marks and how they belonged to those who aren't really complete. They needed something to complete them, but even with everything in the world they never felt complete. All they needed was their other half, their soulmate.

Most of them were similar or shared the same interests, but of course some couples fed off each other's differences and expanded on what they both had, which I couldn't help but to admire.

"I wonder how long it took them to figure it out," Thea bit into a carrot and stared at the couple who were currently making out across the room.

"They can't go even one second without each other," Kacen faked a gag and scribbled down my answers from last night's homework onto his page.

"Stereotypical though, isn't it?" I asked, looking over at the couple myself.

"What? That they are so similar? They won't go that far, I mean look at them," Thea laughed and looked over at my homework as well to copy making me smirk.

"Says the one literally copying my homework."

Thea glared over at me. "Why are we friends again?" She playfully shoved me over and grabbed the page from Kacen's desk to get a better look at my answers. "It is nice to have you back though, I didn't even know we had homework last night," Thea shrugged.

Kacen chuckled out a "same," and looked over Thea's shoulder.

Not paying much attention at that point, I let my eyes roam around the room, spotting a few marks as I did so. "Who's to say they won't be successful?" My random question made Kacen jump back and Thea slapped him because he scared her at the suddenness.

"Sorry," I mumbled.

"They look like they are enchanted with a love spell, I don't know if they would be able to test waters without each other, to be honest." Thea looked over at the couple again and then back at her paper.

"But, they are great at what they love to do. She's an amazing cheerleader, and he's the best player on his team. Why has society said that they aren't likely to be successful just because they need each other?"

"They have identical marks, they need each other the most, it's all they want in life is to have someone, that's their success. If they truly wanted what they do, they would go for it, but he's skipping practice to make out with her on the flimsy desk over there so that to me means he won't be in the NBA anytime soon. So what? They most likely won't be famous. But I'm sure, those two are going to have many kids," Thea smirked as she spoke her last sentence and Kacen coughed on his water he was drinking and laughed into his elbow, coughing some more.
