'Do you want to talk about it?'
'No.'
'Then why are you here?'
'My mom told me so.'
She laughs sarcastically. 'So you're just here because of your mom?'
'I guess.' I stare out of the window. A long silence.
'So what happened actually?'
'I told you I don't want to talk about it.'
'How can I help you if you don't want to talk about it?'
'You can't help me, okay?' I suddenly yell at her. 'Look at your wrist! Look at it! It's shining so bright, just as your future with your soulmate!' I pull down my sleeve and almost push my wrist in her face. 'See?' I ask angrily.
She looks at me with big eyes. I can't tell if she's scared, feels sorry for me or if she feels triumph, because I finally show some emotions.
'I will never talk to her anymore, never share my food with her, never see her blush again when I tell her what a beautiful person she is, never let her fall asleep in my arms again.' I wipe away my tears. 'You have no idea what that feels like and you can't help me!' I yell before bursting out of the room and slamming the door closed.
