As it felt like my soul was getting ripped out of my body I lie there motionless.As the blood spilled from my body I felt as if I were to die.
It all started saturday morning I woke up bright and early at last today was here. The day I get to be chosen to meet the one...to meet my true love. Where I live and what my future will look like, we don't get to choose our lives they get chosen for us. Which if you think about it its a big relief from our shoulders. There are these people called the VIEW.(what ever that means)These people never die.Its like they live for ever.
All the views are women because what I have heard that women choose better men for the young ladies.Finally its almost time.For this very special dayI have picked out a special outfit.I am wearing a black dress that is short in the front and long in the back with hot pink converse. my hair is long and wavy.Unlike me most girls would put on all their makeup but me I like to look like me and not like Barbie.
As me and my family walk up to the doors of the gymnasium my hands shake with fear of who will be picked for me in hope that its a handsome young man.we are section off in different spots accordingly to our birthday months.Since mine is january I site in the first section which means im one of the first to get choosen .As they starte to call of people I get nervous.Finally its my turn for me to go up on stage.As I walk up the steps the screen people gaspph like they have never seen anyone where this kind of stuff .started to flip through many different pictures behindme as I stand their.Finally the pictures stop on one pacific picture I don't get to choose between two people just one...
They call out a young handsome boy named Brad.To me he looks about his age 18 because thats when we all get chosen.When our eyes meet i see this baby blue eyes that shimmer in the light.He wears a black tux with a white blouse and a black bow tie.As he walks up to me he starts to smille(to me i think he is in love at first sit which is good because i think he is cute to also we have to stay together for the rest of our lives).As we greet each other we have to sit back down at a table.And the rest the people go we started to talk.
"So whats your birthday?!"Brad said querulously.
"Well I was supposed to be born january 25th but i was born January 5th"I told
him.
"Thats funny mine february 5th to!"
"Today was the day you all got chosen to meet your true love.Tonight you will go home and their will be a box on the front step of your door.This box will contain things about your partner,were you guys will live at together and when your wedding isand where it is at.You have one night to red all this information and pack up your things.When you finish this task if you wish not to spend the rest of your days with him you can come see me and your head shall be cut off to end your day.Do I make my self clear?"The announcer beamed over the speakers.
As i find my family we walk home because here they don't want cars so that the air doesn't get polluted they don't even have factories everything that we get is imported from some weird place in Colombia.When we get home there's a box on the front step just like she said.When we get inside I go straight to my I didn't eat dinner because i was too excited see being the only child I get away with a lot of things.When I open the box it had a lot of papers like his sertific of birth.Also some boring stuff about his parents.But what I was most interesting was a little note card in the bottom of the box.
This not read. Dear future wife,
When you read this you should be warned that it could scare you very much,But don't worry
then the paper just stops like their is no rip in or anything its like somebody purposely cut it.
That night I could not sleep its like that wonder was eating at me trying to learn more about his history. When it came to the next day I found out that our house is just down the block from my parents house.When I walk into the house it has a big open floor plan its just like my dream house even has all the same colors I wanted on the wall(which is a good thing because we are not suppose to repaint the walls were suppose to call a "special place"that comes and repaint our house.)
As I walk threw the house I hear a knock on the front door,As I started to walk to the door it opens i wonder to myself who could it be then i realized that its probably Brad so I yelled come in but it turns out that its just my parents wich made me kind sad.About 5 minutes later Brad comes walking in the door with a bunch of stuff of his.As soon as i see him I came running tords him he gives me a big hug and gives me a kiss on my head( wich to me was kind aweird becuase I have onley seen him once but i just whent with it)After him and my parents meat prperaly we started aettling in.
The first few week where quite weird sleeping together and eating together when we barely even knew each other like it was okay but it just felt awkward. After a month had passed we are both out of highschool know. We both had to find a collage pay for it and figure out the cirqulome we are going to be doing. I had decided that I was going to be a nurse since for some reason I always loved helping people and being there when they need the most help.
