You're shorter than me

Those were the words that were imprinted in your skin from birth. The words that your soulmate would soon say to you. In your life, you have always been short, but you chose to embrace your 5' feet in height instead of dwelling on it (being short that is).

Many people have called you short, but no one said those exact words to you. Every time someone did call you short, you would just talk back to them. You knew that you were short, so you didn't need reminding that every time you met someone new.

You were a second-year transfer from Nekoma, and it would be your first year at Karasuno. You were walking through the semi crowded hallway, clucking your books tightly to your chest, and you bumped into someone turning a corner.

"Shimizu-chan?" You asked the person.

"(Y/N)-chan? I've been looking for you, are you lost?" she asked me.

Kiyoko and you were distantly related to each other, and your mother wanted her to show you around Karasuno.

You didn't know where the office was and you were supposed to meet Kiyoko at your classroom, but you couldn't find that either.

Making small conversation with Kiyoko, you looked over to the side and saw two people staring from afar.

One was short, and had spiky brown hair with a blond tuft of hair in the front. The other one was medium height, had a shaved head, and both of them had widened eyes, staring at you and Kiyoko.

"Kiyoko-san, do you know those two people who are staring at us?" You asked, slightly pointing over at the two.

She glanced over at them, and rolled her eyes, "Come on, school is going to start soon."

She quickly told you where most of your classes were, and left to where the third classrooms were.

You didn't really pay much attention in class because the first few days of school are always introductions, the teachers trying to memorize the names of the new students, and what they were going to teach throughout the year.

When the teacher told the class to talk amongst themselves, all of what you heard were about soulmates, which didn't surprise you.

"Did you hear that (R/N) just found their soulmate?"

"That's so late."

"My sister told me that if you haven't already found your soulmate, chances are that you're not going to meet them."

Hearing that conversation, you wondered: 1) if they ever met their soulmate, and 2) how high their IQ was.

Many people say that you meet your soulmate in your high school years. That wasn't a total lie though. Most of your friends from Nekoma had already met their soulmate.

They described meeting their soulmate as 'the best thing that has ever happened to them'. You wondered if that was actually true because that's how most people see it.

You glanced down at the words neatly written on your wrist, and read them over again.

When you were really young, and knew how to read, you committed those words to memory. You were afraid that if you ever forgot the words, you would miss the chance of meeting your soulmate.
