WHY IS THIS STILL GETTING READS IT'S FREAKING 2022 HELP

Dream grew up in a world where when you turn 16, you cough up your first flowers. It's not very painful at first, but the flowers get bigger and more frequently coughed up over a span of 2 years. If you haven't found and kissed your soulmate by the time you turn 18, you die of the "disease." 

The flowers are your soulmate's favourite color(s). Their gender is shown by what kind of flower it is: buttercups for female, roses for male, and oleanders for any others. Once you kiss your soulmate, the flowers retreat over a span of a week, finally leaving forever. If your soulmate dies before you find them, the flowers turn black, and the progression of the flowers stops. If you kiss anyone who is not your soulmate (outside blood relatives), then 2 months get taken off of your time to find your soulmate. If you have more than one soulmate (the max is 3), the flowers will be oleanders and will have two different colors the flowers can be.

Dream's been waiting for a month over a year to find his soulmate. His best friends, Nick and Zak, already found theirs. Well, Nick has two: Alex and Karl. Zak's is named Darryl. So that just left Dream, and he was running out of time to find his soulmate, not finding any boys with the favourite colour being delft blue. His hopes get lifted, however, when a new kid transfers: George. But what do you do when your potential soulmate doesn't want to find his?
