Hi! I'm Alex I have an ability. Ability to see the "red string of fate". It all started when I was a child. My mother has a red string but cutted. While my father string has it connected with another person. How did I know that it's connected to another person, well it's very long and I saw it once. When a girl came near my father when I was with him in his company. Mom and Dad got a divorced because father cheated on mother with the girl his string was connected to. My mother raised me alone but we are still happy though.
==============================
Present time
I had a crush on a girl for a while now, and also a close friend. Her string isn't connected to anyone and doesn't have a boyfriend either. So I always thought I have a chance with her, since I'm also not connected to anyone. I was already in my junior year in Sky Academy.
We're in school walking on the hallway to class. The bell rang and It's time for her class so she turned to the left. Then suddenly my string followed the same direction as my crush took. So I have thought that I'm surely her mate. When I followed the string I was so shocked. She isn't my mate. But a guy who I don't know even know. He came near me and ask for guidance.
"Hi I'm Andre, a freshman in this university. I think I'm lost, can you help me find principal's office to get my schedule?", the boy Infront of me said.
"Su-sure", I replied to him while stuttering.
I helped him find the principals office. The principal made me excuse for class, but I should give Andre a tour of the school. I felt relaxed and relieved being with him. His smile made me happy. But when we parted and I look back he was sad and somehow my heart felt heavy for some reason.
Me and Andre became close somehow but I don't know how. I even tried to avoid him, but I can't, I feel that when his hurt, I'm also hurting myself so I always tried to be gentle to him as long as I can.
==============================
Few weeks later
It's almost time to go home, but Andre called me and wanted to meet me before going home. He wanted to meet me near the fountain of the school. Then I followed and went to the fountain.
When Andre saw Alex, he gave a boquet of roses to him. "Alex I've been liking you for sometime now, I love you since the first day we met", Andre confessed while holding Alex's hand.
Alex pulled his hand from Andre and said, "I'm sorry Andre, I don't like boys, I only like girls, and you should've known that I'm straight from the start since we've been friends for quite some time now. And even if I didn't accept you can we still be friends? "
Alex left Andre behind, broken-
hearted and sad. He can't bare to look back at Andre since his scared that he will also be hurt when he saw his face. So he went away quickly. The bouquet of flowers onhis wasnt thrown away. He didnt have the guts to thro it so when he came home he place it in a vase.
With Andre...
Andre tried to smile but tears keep flowing from his eyes.
He said to himself, "i will always love you even if you dont like me back"
From then on when Alex will go home and thought that Andre also went home. He followed Alex secretly and sometimes visit his house on weekends and sometimes even weekdays.
==============================
Alex went straight home. He picked up his laptop and open it. He searched on how to cut the red string that was tied in his pinky finger. Only one result came out, he didn't have a second thought and called the number immediately. He asked for a meet up.
==============================
When they meet up...
Hi Alex I'm Rachel and I'm here to help you, the girl said
Alex looked up and down at Rachel looks.
Why don't you have a string tied up in your hand?, Alex asked in confusion.
Oh, about that, since me and my family are the only one that can cut the string, it's like a curse for us we don't have a fated pair. Rachel replied
Anyways, Rachel a guy confessed his feelings towards me awhile ago and I didn't accept it since he only fell in love with me because of this stupid string, Alex said while showing his hand.
Rachel give a pair of scissors to Alex and said, Alex this is not an ordinary scissors, it can cut the string in your wrist and it may never comeback so you should do it wisely Alex.
I need to go now Alex I need to go home for some personal matters, Rachel added.
==============================
Alex cutted his strings immediately when he got home. After this everything went back to normal, we'll except for one. Andre asked for a leave a whole week. No one can call him or even find where he live.
Somehow Alex felt hopeless, he felt hurt. Something felt missing, Alex felt incomplete.
==============================
Few weeks later
I was lying in my bed, when suddenly I realized that my string is somehow connected to a person. When I was looking on who that person is, it still the same person, I meant I'm still connected to Andre. Then I called Rachel again. She said, "Remember when you said that the boy likes you because of the string and now it is connected to him again". "The string is not the one who will pick your partner, but the mutual feelings you have for each other, and it connected again cause you love each other", she added. "So I will hang up now, bye", I replied.
Now that's why I feel weird sometimes. It's because of my feelings, Alex thought to himself.
He went downstairs to meet Andre, but as soon as he went down Andre tried to run away. Alex grab his hand and hugged him tightly. Andre didn't try to run away again and hugged him back.
Im sorry for rejecting you, please stay by my side, don't leave me again, Alex said while sobbing into Andre's arm.
Okay I won't leave you again, and I will always love so please stop crying, OK?, Andre replied to Alex and patted his head.
Since that day I never tried to cut the string again and accept my feelings towards him. He confessed to me again and ofcourse I know that. So I also confessed since I'm already sure that he loved me so much.
The End
