Zero

So Grace said I should do this prompt, and it sounds awesome. My other friend, Jillian, also did it and it is AMAZING. It's at kingdomkreative.blogspot.com.
So basically everyone has a timer on their wrist that reaches zero when they meet their soul-mate. Haha, kinda funny when you think about it. Anyways...

The sky above was beautiful. The blues and pinks swirled around as the sun began to set, and Piper took in every detail of the dusk. Utterly gorgeous.
She'd been at her friend's house just ten minutes before, but the large mass of people had made her leave. They all knew each other, and Piper was more of the tag-along. She took no offense to their ignoring her; it didn't bother her too much, and she didn't blame them for just wanting to be together. They'd probably invited her out of guilt in the first place.
But that didn't matter, because now she didn't have to miss the sunset.
As she strolled through the neighborhood, she thought she heard something. Footsteps. And panting, she was pretty sure. Someone was running towards her.
Confused, she carefully stepped around the corner, and there he was. The dude that had been sprinting.
"Oh, sorry!" Piper exclaimed in surprise, backing out of his way.
"What?" he asked, his expression showing how puzzled he was. He had stopped running, and now had caught his breath.
"I... was in your way," said Piper slowly, stepping back again.
"No!" said the boy. "You weren't! You're the one I was looking for."
Okay. This was weird.
"You're her!" he went on.
"What are you talking about?" she asked. "You must have the wrong person--I've never seen you before in my life."
"Well, of course not! We just met. Obviously."
"Okay, I'm gonna leave now..." said Piper, turning around.
"No, wait-"
The boy grabbed her wrist.
"Look!" he said, evidently confused by the fact that she hadn't already "looked."
Piper glanced down at her wrist, right where her timer was. Zero. All the numbers were zero.
What?
She looked up at him, shocked. He was just grinning at her.
"Oh..." the quiet word escaped from her lips.
Suddenly, she started laughing. It just bubbled from her mouth, and soon she couldn't stop. All this time, her friends had always wondered why she never even looked at her timer. Truth was, she just hadn't cared enough. But now--now she possibly regretted not looking at it. She would have been ready, and all this confusion wouldn't have taken place.
Still, she kept laughing. The whole thing was just bizarre. Everyone else's big meeting was always so romantic, so special. Hers was supposed to be, too.
Hah, fail.
Soon, the boy in front of her started laughing, too. For about a minute, the two of them just laughed.
"Okay," said Piper, trying to calm down. "My name's Piper."
"And I'm Dominic," said the boy between laughs. "Nice to meet you." He shook her hand, and she laughed again. "Wow," he said. "What a great start."
