Matched
Ever since I was a little girl, I had always wondered how it would be like to meet my prince charming. You know how it is right? Like those fairy tale stories where it's love at first sight. I've never witnessed anything like that, except for my parents. How strong communication they had with one another. How they always seemed happy being together. Boy, was I wrong. Being in love wasn't as simple as I thought. In reality, being in love was like a punishment. All you do is get hurt and struggle to find yourself again. I stopped wanting to meet "prince charming" since I was eight. Nine years passed by and I still hadn't convinced myself that finding true love is real.
Oh, you must be wondering who I am. The name's Sakura Haruno. I live in a small village called, Konoha. I've lived here all my life, yet I barely know less than half of the people here. To be honest, I've always isolated myself from everyone here. I became independent. Not really sure if that's a good thing or not. But hey, it keeps me on my toes.
I walk my way through town to see if there has been any openings for a job. But instead of finding a job, there had happened to be a notice sign saying, "All Konoha kids, ages thirteen through nineteen, will become matched with another partner living in the village. This is an order by the Hokage. These children will be escorted to a building and will proudly be engaged to your new spouse. Date- September 11th, 2012." I widened my eyes. "That's tomorrow." I whispered out. There is no way am I going to that silly arrangement.
Right when I turn around, a person had crashed into me, making me fall to the ground. "Hey, watch where you're going! Jeez!" I cried out loud. I got up and wiped the dirt off of my skirt. I gazed at the person, it happened to be a boy my age. Black crimson eyes, tall, a bit muscular, and had hair like the bottom of a duck. He just stared at me, not apologizing. I glare at him. "Tch, whatever." I began to walk away. I couldn't help but notice that he had a certain gaze into his eyes. Hopefully I will never have to bump into him ever again.
