[Zongmeiying] Soul Mate

Catherine originally didn't want to go to the school opening party at Pendragon's house today.

Well, to be honest, she doesn't want to go every time.

For children who are still in school, the most unfortunate thing is that there is an opponent who compares you everywhere, and the open and secret fights between girls are much more intense than boys. Whether you like it or not, as long as you are A "man of the hour" with a sense of presence cannot but be compared.

There will always be gossip about who is better looking, slimmer, better dressed, more popular than you...and things are even more so when the person you are often compared to is your cousin. Oops, just like Catherine and Morgana, because it means that they can't really turn their faces without a valid reason, and then let Catherine unilaterally and smoothly break up, and never get in touch with Morgana.

Please, even though they are relatives, they have never played together. The Pendragon twins always act alone in school. Morgana is the president of the reading club and the darling of the teachers. Arthur is the ruler on the court. All the kings, these cousins ​​of hers always look aloof, they don't have to work hard to be different from the others, they can get on with the two of them, and within a day they can get on top of an unknown person who just transferred from another school The home page of the campus bbs.

Elizabeth, of course, lovely Elizabeth, mysterious Elizabeth!Catherine gets angry when she thinks of her, and can't help but roll her eyes fiercely. She's just... different, but that incompatible temperament is compatible with her cousins. The foundation of her life was sent to the classroom by the principal himself, and since she quickly caught up with the Pendragon twins, everyone has been discussing her for a long time, and the boys bet on who can become her first in this school. A boyfriend, the girls were counting on her to cause some trouble, but Elizabeth ignored it as if she wouldn't be bothered by any gossip, and didn't care about other people's eyes.

Forget about Morgana and Elizabeth, but what about that Carrie?Recently, they and that silly Carrie made up a small group to show off in school every time, as if no one looked at them enviously, and they felt uncomfortable.

This made Catherine very uncomfortable, and only Arthur was okay, but he could accept that rustic Carrie as a friend. They could only say hello in embarrassment, why did they bring Carrie to play?Is it because that Elizabeth felt sorry for her?

He's the vice-captain of the football team!I heard that when the captain graduates next year, he will be the new captain for sure. Even Philip supports and supports him. He should act cooler!

Yes, Philip, Catherine murmured his name in her heart, if it weren't for the fact that Philip would definitely come to the party today, she would not want to come.

Although she knew that Philip liked Elizabeth, Catherine still held some hope in her heart - she heard that Elizabeth was indifferent to his courtship, which made Catherine secretly happy and angry. She has liked Philip for a long time, and Philip is the best boy in the world However, Elizabeth refused him out of sheer blindness.

In fact, she calculated it earlier, the setting sun had just disappeared into the sky, and the afterglow of the setting sun still remained in the sky, and before the arrival of the thick night, it sprinkled a large area of ​​blue-purple light.Although she was not happy, Catherine still had to admit that the courtyard of Pendragon's house was beautifully decorated tonight.

The wrought iron gate is open to both sides, covered with apricot-colored lanterns, as beautiful as stars.The lush shrubs and turf were not deliberately trimmed, and clusters of apricot-colored helium balloons were fixed on the ground, enclosing a large area for activities. The huge swimming pool was illuminated by wall lamps, and the pure white light adorned it It is so fantastic and magnificent that people even doubt whether it is the lake where elves bathe in fairy tales. There are also many apricot-colored round lamps hanging down like ripe fruits on the big trees in the courtyard. The soft light illuminates the entire courtyard. .

There are two long white tables in the middle of the venue, and the supporting chairs are scattered here and there.Bouquets of flowers are cleverly arranged on each table, and all kinds of snacks and food are piled up on silver plates. The most conspicuous thing is the tower of two tall crystal cups. It's formal, but they're not old enough to drink and you'll only find non-alcoholic drinks here.

A well-known jazz band is playing a soft version of pop music. The flowing notes pass through the gentle twilight and linger in the fresh air.

There were already quite a few people present, and most of them were familiar. The unfamiliar ones were either the young neighbors in the community, or the male and female companions brought here.Catherine keenly caught Philip's figure. He was staring at the door eagerly, which made her frown displeased. It seems that Elizabeth has not arrived yet, yes, how can she show her specialness if she is not late?

Catherine quickly found her small group, and after greeting her friends intimately, she deliberately found a seat close to Philip and sat down. She saw Morgana and Arthur talking to the rest of the rugby team. The tall, lanky boy followed them, another nerd?Catherine critically evaluated this shy boy in her heart, and Morgana laughed and pulled him forward, as if introducing him to the players in Arthur's team.

When the last ray of light in the sky faded, Elizabeth and Carrie finally appeared. The two girls were okay, but the appearance of their male companion really shocked Catherine. I forgot to pay attention to Philip's face.

They were like the sun falling into the deep sea, both attractive and frightening for no reason, just like nature often gives beautiful colors to poisonous plants-these two men were very handsome, with snow-white skin.The one with dark blond hair was a little shorter. He wore a strict black three-piece suit, which perfectly matched Carrie's high-waisted little black dress. Carrie held him loosely, looking a little uncomfortable, but he looked I feel good when I wake up.

And Elizabeth, the man on Elizabeth's arm is just... a bit foul looking.

His impeccable facial features are at the level of a magazine cover that has been refined at least seventeen or eighteen times. His long blond hair is very light in color, like the first ray of light in the morning sun. Most of them are combed back with only a random strand. Scattered down, highlighting the perfect outline of that face, the unstoppable beauty of this man makes people wonder if he is real. He leans slightly towards Elizabeth, as if he is always ready to listen to her, the focus of his eyes is almost gone. Not for a moment was on her.

Is this Elizabeth's new boyfriend?Catherine finally came to her senses and noticed Philip's disappointed expression, which made her feel sad. She couldn't restrain her dissatisfaction with Elizabeth, so she gave her a sneaky look.

As if aware of something, the man who was lowering his head and saying something to Elizabeth suddenly raised his head and glanced at Catherine expressionlessly. When the cold gaze swept across, Catherine felt a chill down her spine, like Being stared at by something terrible, he couldn't help trembling.
