"I can't remember the last time my necklace heat up" Casey said as she was playing with it. Her bubbly face always look so down every time we talk about our necklaces. Her necklace is a perfect oval shape with yellow color It matches her brown eyes and short black hair. Average built and pretty small for her age. In this world, everyone gets handed a necklace after the moment they are born. they are given by the shamans of each city. These necklaces signify who our soulmate is. Considering the size and shape, your other half has the same necklace as you and it heats up considering how near or far are you from your soulmate. Mine is a sky blue star shaped necklace. It has been cold for sometime now. It even froze one moment.
Going back to Casey, After she whined about her necklace, I finished studying with her and went home. The streets are crazy as usual; people are too concerned about their necklaces. Most of them walks while playing with it, waiting for the necklace to heat up. One time I even saw a woman with a glowing necklace and tackled her supposedly necklace. I have never heard of anyone dated someone else besides their soulmate. Maybe this necklaces are made for a reason but at the same time depressing since some people spend their entire lives looking for their soulmate. Disregarding the real world. I passed by the coffee shop and saw the old couple who eat there every lunch for the last 65 years. Their necklaces have been blinding and both has been steaming for a long time. Mr. and Mrs. Diggs, that's what they are called. A lot people admire them deeply. They don't even have to pay for the food at the coffee shop, the couple just insisted.
Pass the coffee shop is the alley of shattered dreams. It's actually an institution, I have no idea why they named it that. It's the people with shattered necklaces or people who have no necklace to begin with. It signifies that their soulmate already passed away or that they never have one to begin with. It's a really sad place. The people are there to face the fact that they are going to be alone. Although, some rumors say that people fell in love there. But your guess is as good as mine.
I got home and saw my mother cooking a meal. "Oh, there you are. How's the review?" she greeted. I nodded and told her about my day. As we we're chatting, my sister,Leslie, went home with his fiance. Both of their necklaces were diamond lavender. Both were glowing and steaming. "Hey guys! Marc just came by to help me with the groceries." She remarked while kissing mark goodbye. As they part, their necklaces dim a bit.
I'm really close to my family. I have little group of friends but I'm pretty tight with my family. We we're chatting when my father came from work and picked up my youngest sister, Louise. I noticed how my mom's arrow shaped necklace glowed green. My father went home as well bearing the glowing green necklace. We all had dinner and told our stories through out the day.
We are all at bed and about to sleep. My phone rang and when I heard a voice, my necklace heated up.
