Through the Haze

Part 1

My timer is down to twenty four hours. Seeing the seconds counting down to the one pivotal moment in my life is nerve wracking. My best friend's timer ran out three years ago. At the exact moment that the timer ran out, her soul mate, Jimin, walked into her life. I've waited anxiously ever since, eager to not be the third wheel anymore. Finally, my day will come tomorrow. Endless questions are currently running through my head. Who is he? Will we even like each other? Is he as anxious as I am? I know all of my questions will be answered tomorrow, but I can't help but be troubled over what is to come. What is obvious, is that if I don't quit thinking about this, I'm never going to fall asleep.

When I wake up the next morning, my timer is down to ten hours. I wasted so many hours over sleeping. Mornings on the weekends are no fun. You have to admit to yourself that you're being lazy. I don't even know what to do with myself for the next ten hours. The possibilities are endless, since it's a Saturday and I don't have to work today. Maybe I could take a walk through the park with Lisa, my best friend. She would probably insist on bringing Jimin with her. Those two are rarely apart. It's cute sometimes, but mostly, it's just annoying. That's why I've been waiting eagerly for so long. It's a nice day out, though. It's nice enough to distract me from feeling excluded. I'll never have to deal with that again after the ten hours are up. I text Lisa about going out later.
