a busy street means bumping into dozens upon dozens of strangers. i hate it, but i have no choice. how on earth would i get to school? i bite my lip as i wait for the streetlight to turn red.
just thirty more seconds.
i look over to my right, then my left. no familiar faces. great, i'm going to school alone.
the light turns red and the cars come to a halt. i walk along with the people beside, behind, and in front of me. i have my arms crossed in front of my chest. protection of some sort since people tend to be a bit rowdy
halfway through the street, with only seven seconds left, i felt it. the so told spark that one would feel the moment their soulmate touches them for the first time.
i thought it was a myth -- a fairytale that our parents would tell us to make us believe in love. i always scoffed and rolled my eyes at it.
it was beyond ridiculous.
sure, f/n told me that it happened to her, but... i rolled my eyes and gave her a dismissive reply.
i was quick to dismiss it, call it a hoax -- a fairytale... yet, it happened, to me.
the shock... it felt like a tiny jolt of lightning that erupted from my elbow.
so that's where we first touched.
i felt the jolt from the tips of my fingers to the heels of my feet. it was shocking ( pun intended ). shocking, intriguing, fascinating.
i want to drop everything and chase after my soulmate. but i couldn't, i can't.
he's going to the opposite direction and i'm just a few steps away from the sidewalk.
three seconds left.
curse it. the time i finally felt the shock, and my soulmate's way out of my reach. but... but i did see something.
raven black hair.
that was all... that was all that i saw.
raven black hair and a warm look in his eyes.
