Matchmaker

May You Please fix it?

        "No" she replied instantly. I pouted up at her, making my chocolate brown eyes stand out as my bottom lip became puffier along with my pale cheeks. She stared down at me and shook her head while smiling. Making her earrings chime and wavy brown hair fall over her shoulders even more than before.

"But Nakoudo~!" I whined, grabbing her hands and shaking them, making her small frame shake as well. I heard Junior cough from behind her but I didn't have time for jealous boyfriends right now.

"Bam, you know begging and puppy dog eyes don't work on me." She laughed when I groaned more, pulling on her arms.

"But why won't you?" I finally let go when her overprotective boyfriend stood behind her and held her around the waist, stopping her from moving. She looked like she knew he was going to do that, heck, I knew that he was going to do that. I saw her move her bracelet covered arm up to pat his head. I know it's wrong for me to be mad at them right now but I couldn't help it. I wanted that.

"I told you, I can't see your red string! I promise you that I'm not lying." Her eyes turned a dark shade of red and she looked around. I knew she was looking at the several, invisible, red strings all except mine at least.

"Bambam, I don't see anything on you, I promise." Her eyes turned back to the usual brown when she looked straight at me. "The person you're going to fall in love with is probably another Matchmaker, I can't see a Matchmaker's string. Not even my own." I glared at the couple, Junior was still hugging her from behind, I saw him hug her tighter when she said that, and she wasn't making any move to push him away. She stood there, probably leaning against him, comfortably in his arms.

"Maybe, I just don't have one and you have to make me one! Maybe, there's someone out there that doesn't have a string either, and we need you to connect us together!" I wasn't going to give up, Nakoudo will help me with my string, she helped everyone else.

"Sorry Bambam, but there's a string for everyone, I know it. Plus, I can't make one. Don't worry though. You'll find someone." She smiled at me. I saw Junior whisper something into her ear. She shook her head and he whispered something else. She kept shaking her head. I guessed that he was asking her if they could leave now.

I sighed and looked around the small food court. I came and interrupted their date, but this has been bothering me for a long time. She untangled Mark and Jackson's, and she fixed Jaebum and Youngjae's strings. Her own string even untangled its-self so I was the only one that was single in our little group. I looked at the couple again and Junior was glaring at me. I took that hint and stood up, he wanted to continue their date. In the corner of my eye, I saw Nakoudo scold him for being rude.

I walked home in silence, I asked Mark and Jackson to drive me there because I really wanted to talk to Nakoudo but I didn't know that she would be here with someone. I looked up at the sky and thought about tomorrow. We would be going back to school and the weekend would be over. I would go back to being the 7th wheeler again. Maybe I could call in sick, but Nakoudo would know and confront me about it. I could just plain out ditch, but then everyone would confront me about it.

Being single sucks. There are so many sayings that tell me that being single lets me be free and independent, but I'm not the independent type. I want someone to lean on, my whole life it had been Nakoudo, but she had someone else now. I sighed in realization that I was being left behind. It hurts to know that they try to break away from their couple-time activities to hang out with me, but even then I feel like an extra. I looked back down when I felt the familiar feel of stepping on grass. I didn't know I walked to the park.

"Hey watch out!" A voice called for me a little too late. When I looked up I saw a ball coming at my face as fast as a car, I tired to dodge it but it still hit my left cheek, causing my head to turn and tears to rise. I hissed in pain and cupped my cheek. If I didn't get this taken care of soon, it'll be really noticeable and Nakoudo would scold me like the mother bird she is. I stood and stumbled for a moment before trying to make my way home.
