The red string of fate (Oneshot)
It is said that you can see your own special red string, connected to your soulmate.

But needless to say... I don't have it.

Besides me not having it, I can see everyone's string... Weird isn't it?

Because I didn't have my own red string, I was ridiculed and made fun of by the others.

I was made into an outcast, because of that.

My parents... Unfortunately for me.
Weren't open about it... Not even the slightest bit.

They kept calling me the cursed child and degraded my very being.

Eventually, they couldn't stand my presence so they tossed me out to the orphanage.

I was never loved...

I don't know what it feels like to be loved.

I just feel... So empty.

...What I learnt was that love... Is unsatiable.

Humans would do whatever it takes to feel love, they are greedy after all...

We all are...



I closed my eyes and hummed to a melody in my head, ignoring the couple in the background who are flirting to each other.

I scoffed at their kissy faces and threw a french fry into my mouth, chewing it.

Others might think that they are fated for each other but they're not...

They are cheaters.

Since they aren't even soulmates...

I quickly ate my food and got up to leave, but when I walked pass their tables to leave, I was tripped over by someone's leg.

I fell onto my hands and knees as I groaned, standing back up as I dusted the dust away.

Glaring at the couple who only mocked at my 'ugly' appearance.

They soon ignored me and began making out with each other.

I sensed some people staring at me in sympathy.

'Tch if you feel sympathetic, walk your ass over and help me.' I scoffed mentally at their pity look.

I stared blankly at the couple as they continued exchanging saliva.

Gross.

"If you aren't gonna apologise, at least stop kissing. I can report you for PDA." I state bluntly taking out my phone.

They stopped their actions and glared at me, "Just go away you bitch! We don't need your opinion!" The hoe exclaimed angrily.

"Alright than..." I trailed off before I leaned in slightly closer towards them, slipping my phone into my pouch.

"I hope you don't regret..." I whispered to them darkly as I saw her shudder, the guy only stared at me mockingly not expecting me to do anything.

I turned my back and walked out of the store, I took out my trusty magical scissors from my hip pouch and cut both of their red strings, tying the other two floating strings together.

Leaving the both of them without any soulmates, I grinned at my work before I walked off merrily.

Now... I only need to do one thing... Apply to a school.

I need to at least have a degree so I can get a good job to support myself, I went into the library to use their free computers and search for schools.

The first thing that popped up was 'Beverly High school.' I stared at the name before I clicked on the link.

Now to sign up... Fill in my name... Age... Address and... gender.

I clicked on the submit button and sighed.

Hopefully they'll accept it.



"Rose! There's a mail for you." The caretaker of the orphanage exclaimed, handing the letter to me before she continued calling out for the other kids.

I nodded and thanked her as I picked up the box and brought it back to my room.

I opened the box and saw a note...

All in all, I got accepted into the school and will begin tomorrow.

Since they knew that I was staying in an orphanage, they gave me free uniform, books, socks and shoes.

I nodded at their kindness but felt weird about it since I didn't mention my size to anyone... Anyone but the caretakers know...

So maybe the school called in to ask them?

And what kind of normal school can do this intense background digging?

Well whatever, who would care that much about me anyways.

I have chocolate brown hair and light hazel eyes, 5'5 (168cm±) in height and had an average weight for my age...

Okay maybe I do work out a little so I have a toned body, I wear oversized hoodies so no one really knows.

Just a normal, plain teenage girl...

If one could say.

*The next day...*

I woke up at exactly 5am sharp like I always do and began my morning routine, brushing my teeth, washing my face and going for an hours run around the whole neighbourhood 5 times.

I would than always rest for about 5-10 minutes before I take a bath, it would always be around 6.20am so I'm pretty sure I have plenty of time to eat and go to school.

The caretakers would wake up at 6am to prepare breakfast so when I came into the dining room, the food was freshly cooked.

I ate the toast she made and thanked her for the food, gulping down water for the dryness from the bread before I officially left the orphanage.

I am currently 13 years old so 5 more years till I have to find a proper home, by that I mean to provide for myself.

I was carrying a sling bag that has all the materials as I walked off to school, I had memorized it's location so it wasn't that hard.

All I...
