Braelynn Hollister looked down at her wrist. 1 day, 2 hours, 37 minutes, and 42 seconds. She did the math in her head, and figured out that she would meet her soulmate at about 2:37 pm the next day. She was nervous, yet excited at the same time. What would he look like? What would his personality be like? How tall is he? And most importantly, what's his zodiac sign? Braelynn had asked her friends, Riley and Nora, what they thought. "I have no idea." Nora said. Nora still had about a year until she found her soulmate. "What about you, Riley, what do you think?" Braelynn asked. "Hmm I really don't know. But since you guys are soulmates, that probably means you like similar things, right? So maybe he'll like food, just like you, Braelynn!" Riley said jokingly. Riley was yet to meet her soulmate. She still had 6 years. "I sure hope so!" Braelynn said.
Right now, it was Friday, March 5th. Which meant Braelynn would meet him tomorrow, on a Saturday. Just to clear things up, she keeps saying "he" because Braelynn is straight and has never had an interest in girls.
School went by really slowly that day. Braelynn wasn't even paying attention. She was just watching the seconds count down on her clock. 1 day, 0 hours, 3 minutes, 12 seconds. This time tomorrow, she'd be 3 minutes away from meeting the person she'd most likely be with forever.
