The boy looks around, carefully stepping towards the seats.
JAMMIT TEE SHIRTS DRIVER
”Yeah get on, we’re running late,” the driver says, taking his ticket. He has that same frantic look in his eyes. Suddenly a dark shape runs past my window and a boy jumps on the bus. I give her a thumbs up and try to smile reassuringly. Her eyebrows are creased and her face is flushed. The bus driver asks if she’s ok but she ignores him. I turn around and look at her - she’s breathing hard. But she’s only 18, she can’t end up with a 80 year old. What? I can’t see anyone else at the bus stop.

I look at the passengers and it’s full of pensioners. I want to give her a hug but know I shouldn’t interrupt now. The bus pulls up and I climb on first, taking a quick glance at her while I give the driver my ticket. I’ll sit a couple of seats away, and be there if you need me,” I say, squeezing her arm reassuringly. I’ll leave you alone now ok? The bus is here.
fear? Excitement? Nerves? Probably all of them and a thousand more things I can’t imagine. She’s restless and keeps tapping her foot. She smiles at me, but it isn’t quite reaching her eyes. You nervous? You’ll be ok, you always are,” I grin, determined not to ruin this for her. You’ve been going on about it for the past year. It’s just a big day for me you know.” Yes I do know. ”I mean that’s ok - these things can’t always be romantic I mean my mum met dad when he was working at the book store and it’s not like you can plan it to be romantic I just hoped, I mean everyone hopes don’t they-” she breaks off, looking at me awkwardly. I think she hoped she’d meet them on a beach at sunset or something. We’re waiting at the bus stop and the bus is coming in two minutes. Her excitement is glowing all over her pretty face. “I’m Steven.” The man gave a smile “It’s nice to meet you.” Meeting my soulmate’s eyes for the first time they spoke. Out of breath “Hi I’m Matt!” Sticking out my hand for a handshake it was met by a firm hand. I ran out looking at my wrist as it hit zero. Wait was that it? She was here! I turned around running back to the counter. There was a park outside and maybe I was supposed to be there to find my soul mate.Ī faint ding of the doorbell hit my ear. Running out of time I hurried through the back door. I panicked, I’d change my own fate if I had to. Where was she? I could not help but get worried that an error would pop up or that she was gone and my timer would run out with no response. Walking out with a box the boss had requested I walked back to my cash register setting it on the shelf. Not that I expected my dream girl to be in the storage closet at work but still I was nervous.
I was a worrisome guy overall but I felt justified, I mean today was the day I was meeting my soul mate. “Thats weird…” I checked my wrist, the clock had just hit the 30 second mark but I looked around and there was no one there. It appears as though we’re Soul Mates then, eh?”Īs my words fail me, the only thing I can think is “I’m so glad I shaved this morning.” I twirl around and my gray eyes meet blue, blue ones. The feeling directs me slightly to the left. For someone who’s heading towards their future with no sense of direction like me. My eyes search frantically around the cafeteria, searching for someone who looks as nervous as me. With each step the tempo of my heart picks up. My stomach drops away from me as I take a step in that direction. That same feeling pulls me towards the center of the room. I do, drawing the attention of my tablemates. Something deep within me tells me to stand up. I can’t believe she talked me into wearing a dress. I mean, shouldn’t my Soul Mate meet me as I normally am? All plain jeans, blah shirts, and wild brown curls? Yet I still find myself wiping my sweaty palms on my dress. Mom said I should be excited, not nervous. They’re going through the exact same pressure as me. Somewhere within these four walls, someone has the exact same countdown on their wrist. Of course my Meeting would take place in the gross, overcrowded cafeteria. I glance around at the faces surrounding the room.
“If a clock could count down to the moment you meet your soul mate, would you want to know?”
