I look around at the tall buildings around me. So this is what it feels like to live in the big city. Well, in those children shows, they didn't mention about how easy it is to get lost in the crowds! Or, maybe it's just my poor sense of direction! Yeah, that has to be it. There would be no other-

"Excuse me, miss. Are you lost?" A voice that sounds like it belongs to a male around my age asks. 

"U-Um...Actually, yes," I sheepishly admit to the stranger. Out of habit I straighten my clothes and pull up my gloves.

Why me of all people have to get stuck with a soulmate tatto? I wish it was something simpler like when you meet eyes with your soulmate, you can see color. Or maybe the one with the stopwatch? Those are always fun. Instead I get stuck with a stupid tattoo on the back of my left hand, which makes EVERYONE think that I have tattoos all over my body when in reality I never even got a tattoo! So, in order to stop all the drama, I just put some brown gloves on my hands. Hey, at least I don't accidently forget to put on my gloves before I start to draw on my tablet!

"Miss, are you alright? You seem to be spaced out," The stranger asks with concern laced in his voice. 

"A-Ah, I'm fine. I usually do that a lot," I reply. In an anime I would probably be blushing like crazy but since this isn't an anime, sadly, I don't blush. I don't even know if I CAN blush.

I look at the stranger's face and instantly look away. He's gorgeous, beautiful, I can't even explain how beautiful he is. Red eyes filled with kindness with his white hair adding a sense of mystery. I...I can't even.

The stranger nods as he asks, "Where are you trying to go?"

"Ah, a-a grocery story. C-Can you tell me where one is?" I glance around nervously, seeing the crowds hurry in different directions as I try to take deep breaths. Breath in for four seconds, hold it in for eight seconds, then breath out for seven seconds. That's how it went right?

"It's a block away. Just go down that street and go straight and you should be good," I force myself to take another glance at him in order to see where he is pointing. Gosh he is so cute.

"T-Thank you s-so much!" I stutter to him. It's normal for me to stutter when speaking to people but when they're really cute it's like I can't even have a "normal" conversation with someone. Whatever that is.

Following the directions that he gives me, I realize something, "The soulmate tattoos are the exact same thing on each person's body and he had flingerless gloves on his hands. YES! That means I have a chance that he's my soulmate!"

Many people glare at me, though some were confused at me. Was it because of me speaking English or is it because of my strange accent? Sure the Americans are either dead or isolated themselves from the rest of the world but aren't there a lot of people here who have American accents?

Shaking my head, I start to think of something else. Why can't I find my soulmate yet? I'm already out of college and I still don't have a soulmate! Though I try to act cool, and just ignore it, I've seen so many soulmates find each other, it seems that I'm the only person in the world without their soulmate. Me, and those people that have their soulmate's last words written on them. I feel so bad for them.
