oliver shaw was a normal sixteen year old. minus the fact he had extremely overbearing parents who barely let him live his own life. he found it quite absurd. what's the point of having a child if all you do is control it?
on oliver's thirteenth birthday, like every other new teenager in the world, a black mark appeared on him. most others had normal places, like a hand, an arm, even a leg or foot. there were the few who had different places. oliver was part of the few.
the clock striked midnight on the arising day of his thirteenth year on this earth. he was laying in bed in mostly darkness, his tv still running a program in the background. he searched all over his arms and legs, he quickly realized he must've had a different mark.
looking into his bathroom mirror, the mark was painfully obvious. there was a big black mark on his chin. it looked like someone had grabbed it and forced his chin upwards.
although he was excited to finally know who his future wife would be, he was a bit disappointed on the fact his mark was extremely obvious.
two years had passed and with no luck, he was wondering whether it was just a practical joke being played on him by his siblings. was it a tattoo maybe? or drawn with a sharpie marker?
everyday he looked in the mirror for a few minutes seeing if it was fading. a fading mark either means your soulmate is dead, which would also result in seeing black and white, so he knew he didn't have that issue, or it means he had lost his chance to find his true love.
on your eighteenth birthday, your mark will slowly start to fade. signaling a lost chance to find your soulmate forever.
everywhere he went he was looking at others hands, to see if their mark would look like it could correspond with his. of course, with no luck.
his parents were getting impatient, afterall they had found eachother at the crisp age of fourteen. they married as soon as they graduated highschool. that was quite silly to oliver, he didn't want to marry his soulmate at such a young age, he wanted to have fun in life.
another year of disappointment had stricken oliver, his parents were taking him places all the time, calling random girls to see whether or not their marks would match up. all attempts were failing.
it was oliver's sixteenth birthday today, he wanted to forget about everything. he just wanted to enjoy today. and not have the stress of his parents pressuring him to find his soulmate.
his main present was two tickets for izzy gunnard (he is a dude..), the biggest music sensation in years and oliver's favorite british rockstar. his mother looked down on that kind of music, but oliver worked so hard for those tickets, so his mother did the right thing and bought them for his sweet sixteen.
he wasn't sure what to do with the other ticket, and since the show had been sold out for months. he sold the ticket online for nearly four times what his mother had paid for it. he kept some of the money and gave her back most of it.
the concert started at 11pm, it was quite late for just a starting time but oliver was ecstatic to hear izzy gunnard perform live. his mom had gotten him extremely good tickets to the "vip" section of the concert, which those tickets were nearly 5x the cost of a regular one.
the vip section of his concerts are normally less than 20 people, due to the cost and the fact there's only 25 tickets available for the vip section, and they always get to meet izzy gunnard himself.
