No, I hiss at myself. You will not fall for this stupidity. There is no such thing as Twin Flames! Now, stop looking at Tobias.

But of course, my eyes refuse to move off his. How easy it would be to fool myself into thinking that someone had been made just for me. I'll have to be extremely careful. One kiss, just one kiss from Tobias, and I could easily lose myself inside the promise of what he might bring.

A rapid string of beeps comes across the screen just then, bringing me back to reality. Principal Notices like this one are common in all schools. Most of them are trivial things – like reminding people to return school e-portals or telling us about a blocked site. But this one is a first for me. It's a weather warning.

“Good morning everyone,” a stern Mrs. Wellington says, from the screen. Mr. Harper's image has shrunk down onto a smaller screen at the bottom. He looks a bit annoyed that the announcement taking up his class time.

“As you are all aware the news has been reporting a potentially dangerous storm headed our way. Well, now it appears that it's moving faster than predicted. They think it will hit us tomorrow morning, but perhaps sooner.” She clears her throat; public speaking is clearly not her strong suit. “They are urging everyone to take proper shelter as the air quality could become dangerously low. Accordingly, we are closing today at noon in order to get you all home safely before the storm hits. Please check your notifications to see if school will be held tomorrow or not.”

Just like that, her image is gone and Mr. Harper's comes back to the full screen.

There is an excited buzz flying around the room, but all I feel is panic. If they're letting us out of school because of the air quality, it means Tobias' health is in danger.

Although no one else would be able to tell, I notice Tobias' jaw harden. He's worried, and now, so am I.

As soon as the clock hits 10:00 the overhead bell dings, and Mr. Harper releases us to our next class. Everyone but Tobias and I, head out the door. His eyes are boring holes into his desk. His body has become rigid, almost as though he doesn't trust himself to move.

I know the feeling. My limbs seem to be disobeying me at the moment as well. I should be walking out the door like everyone else, instead of walking right up to him. My feet just won't listen to me. They stop right in front of his desk – practically pinning me there.

“Hey,” I mumble. Hey? That's the best you've got? “So I was just making sure you were all set with the storm and all.”

“I'll be just ducky,” comes his clipped reply.

His hostility towards me is completely unnecessary. “What’s your problem? I was just trying to be nice!”

“Yeah, well I don't think Hawk would approve of you talking to me, so you'd better run along.
