As I walked down the hallway I looked at my wrist.
000days,003mins,032seconds.
Only 3 minuets left before I find out.
I went to the cafeteria to get lunch. By the time I got inline my wrist said: 000days,000mins,059seconds.
I frantically looked around the room. Who was it? at least 10 different people at schools wrists were about to hit zero, who was it going to be.
000days,000mins,001seconds.
"Ashton?"
I hear a familiar warm voice behind me. I spin around and see Danielle standing there. I hadn't seen her get inline behind me. She was looking down at her clock that said zero. Almost simultaneously, our little clocks popped off our wrists and fell to the ground. She looked up beaming. I reciprocated the feeling. All my wishing worked. We were going to be with each other forever.
