The String | How I Met My Soulmate[Short Story]

"Everyone alive is born with a string attached to their hand," Miss Lee explained. "It connects you to your soulmate."
"You and your soulmate are the only people who can see your string. Some people like to find them early on," she said, nodding to Jenna and Kurt cuddling on the story time mat, "but some people chose to find their soulmate once they grow up," my kindergarten teacher explained.
I looked around at everyone gazing at Miss Lee, then at their wrists.
So I looked at mine.
"Miss Lee! I don't have a string!" I blurted out.
I felt their eyes on me, until Miss Lee turned and glared at me with disgust.
Did I do something wrong? I continued to ask myself.
