Intro In my world, everyone is born with a timer already implanted on their wrists. No one knows how or why we’re born with it: all we know is that it counts down to the moment you meet your soulmate.

My dream of becoming a Pokemon Master was over. ‘Pokemon’ is a video game in which players journey through a virtual world, collecting monsters and battling to be the very best. When I was in elementary…

Waking up on August 30, 2017, it felt like any other morning: ordinary. I had been in Tokyo for the summer to intern at Kure Engineering Ltd. and everyday I would wake up around 8 am to get ready to leave by 9 am, and my aunt and I would turn on the tv to watch the news before we left.

“Beep, Beep, Beep!” That is the sound I woke up to on the morning. This is it, the morning! I got out of bed and went straight to my uniform. I threw it on so fast because of how thrilled I was. I quickly did my competition makeup and threw my hair into a poof and bun. I grabbed my cheer shoes and practically flew down the stairs. I ran like lightning to the car and screamed “Mom, let’s go!” We drove to Bojangles and I got my favorite breakfast. Then we headed over to AC Flora for stretching and…

While Lexi pulled the victorious card into her deck, I thought about the first time I met her. It was Intercity tennis and I played number one doubles with my…
