They say that God tied two people destined to be together by their pinkies with a red string. No one can see it that's why you won't know who your destined person is. You'll just know it once the two of you meet because you'll definitely fall in love once you meet him/her.

But that's not the case for me because I can see it. I can see the red string of fate.

The Past

Two years ago a boy confessed to me.

"Hey china! You're stupid. You always do crazy things. Not to mention, you're also a glutton. But I think I like you"

The Present

I'm really lucky to be in the same class as the boy I like, to be able to eat with him during lunch, and to be able to go home together with him after school. After all, he's my...BEST FRIEND'S BOYFRIEND.

Yes. Okita Sougo, the boy of my dreams, is going out with my best friend Otae-chan. I know it's pathetic one-sidedly falling for your friend's guy. But I can't help it. It's not like I can control my emotions and choose the person to love.

"Kagura-chan!" Otae called me while I was busy daydreaming. "Is Sougo here already?" she asked. "No. Your good-for-nothing boyfriend is always late. Don't expect him to be here this early" I answered. Otae is in a different section from us so she visits us in our class every morning before class starts.

"Come on. Why are you always mean to him? He's nice although he does stupid things most of the time. Plus, he is really cool and handsome" said Otae obviously flaunting her boyfriend. "What's so cool about that guy? He's just a freaky sadist!" I shouted.

"Freaky sadist huh?" it was Sougo. "It's so early in the morning and you're already badmouthing me. Don't you have anything better else to do?" he added. "I was just saying the truth. You're early today. It must be a miracle." I replied. Sougo and I continued fighting.

This is my usual life. I'm satisfied with the way things are going. I have no plans of telling Otae my feelings for Sougo nor do I have plans of confessing to him because I can see it. I can see Sougo's red string,

and it's not connected to me.

2 years ago

Everything was so ideal if only I did not have this gift.

Two years ago I rejected a boy. Not because I don't like him but because I was scared. I know I can't counter fate.
