~BEGIN~

Clark and Kaya were meant for each other.

I could practically see the oozing chemistry between them as they danced together on the bed of my dorm room.

They just... fit perfectly.

Clark, with his raven black hair and Kaya with her almost golden hair that were similar to mine, were going to be together. They were both physically on par, and emotionally compatible too.

They had met around six months back- through me- and had immediately hit it off. I smiled when I saw them both laugh at something in his phone.

I had known that they were perfect for each other: not by intuition, although anyone close to both of these idiots could manage to see just how perfect they were together.

No, I could predict these things by something I called the 'Cupid's Syndrome.'My senses would tingle a bit... My eyes would water, and my heart would skip a little beat. My ears would ring with this weird sound, and my throat would go slightly dry. I would get this urge to lock both of them in a room and see what happened the next morning.

Granted, it was creepy.

It was also tiring.

I was obviously happy for all the couples who had found love. I was even more happy that I had assisted in the process.

But buried somewhere, deep inside, were my own insecurities. Never had I felt something like that for me and someone else before. I had watched my boyfriends find love -sometimes literally in front of me- and be happy.

I went on a lot of dates over two years, trying to find the perfect person for me. They were all good men, but not for me. And so I would leave on our first date itself.

That earned me quite the reputation with my friends. I was called a heartbreaker because I couldn't manage to go on a date with someone who was not meant for me, but for someone else.

I had stopped six months ago, frustrated to tears that despite my best efforts to find that special person, I couldn't.

Nevertheless, that didn't mean I wasn't happy for Kaya. I smiled at Clark and Kaya. Now on the sofa, both of them were sleeping- almost cuddling with each other.

Just when would I get what she had?
