My name is Carter Hamilton. I'm a 18 year old boy living in a world founded on love. There is no war and everyone loves everyone. The only problem is it's all bullshit. Everyone puts on this big show, but in all honesty, people are hateful fucks.
I go to a private school in the south end of my sector. Unfortunately for me, because it's private, no show has to be preformed unless it's a public event. That's where he comes into the picture; the pest of my existence.
Simon Levine.
He's made my life a living hell since the 1st grade. Of course, he's not the only one. Everyone gets in on it. They usually make it a necessity to point out my timeless clock.
Oh, right.
I didn't tell you..
Everyone is born with a clock. It's located on base of your wrist; counting down the moments until you meet your soul mate. It's the reason the world's foundation is love.
My clock has been at 00:00:00 since I could remember. I don't know if it's always been like that, but I can only assume so, seeing as my parents died when I was 3. I was shoved home to home until I was 7, then I ran away. I've hid from the government for 11 years and I'm finally free. How'd I manage to go to school? Fake name and address. I was a pretty smart kid, huh?
Anyway, back to that pea brained fuck and every other inconsiderate asshole who pick me out because I don't have a running clock.
Who fucking cares anyway?
What's so important about a soul mate?
I know, I'm being a sour puss, but I can't help it. It hurts to know you were born to be alone. No parents, no soul mate, no friends. Shit sucks, but all I can do is hang my head low and take the torment. I can only hope, some day it will stop. Maybe, some day....
I won't be alone.
