Matching Confusion

Have you ever been a place of deep confusion?  Not knowing where the time will take you?  Wondering what will happen next? 

You’re in the same shoes as Cassia Maria Reyes.  Cassia is a part of a utopian society.  She has just turned 17 and is ready for the day she has been waiting for her whole life.  Kind of like us we wait and dream and hope for the day we fall in love and Cassia waits for the day she is matched.  She is wearing a dress instead of plainclothes this once in a lifetime chance for her to look individual.  In her green silk dress she is finally ready to be matched.  Too anxious to even touch the wonderful dinner prepared before her.  The wonderful meal she only has one chance to jump at.  Tomorrow the food will be counted in calories and delivered through the food port to her house, food such as unpleasant oatmeal.  Cassia’s name is called.  “Cassia Maria Reyes.” 

Cassia stands and proceeds towards the podium.  Unlike everyone else the screen stays black.  After a few minutes the screen still stays to proceed black.  This is unusual and this makes Cassia nervous.  Who is her match?  After minutes of disarrangement which seems like a few light years to Cassia someone overcomes on the microphone.  "Cassia your match is different than anyone else's has ever been.  This is extremely ordinary but your match is here tonight."  Shock wonders through the room as a video chat of Xander Carrow appears on the no longer black screen.  Disturbance has been thrown on the people there tonight at the match ceremony.  Ones who can attend the ceremony are the person being matched whom is 17, the parents of the child being matched, and older siblings that have already been matched.  

            Everyone is very pleased with Cassia's match.  The extraordinary part about this match is Cassia and Xander already know each other.  Cassia and Xander have been friends for as long as they can remember.  This is the first match in the history of matches where the two companions know each other.  Cassia and Xander childhood best friends now proceeding into future lovers.  Just like the present now where women dream to fall in love with their best friend Cassia has had this opportunity.  After receiving the match of Xander, Cassia receives a silver card which she supposed to keep in a safe spot to later find out more information about Xander.  Cassia still can't seem to process that Xander is her match and how he is someone she would have never thought was capable of being her match because she has known him her whole life.  

        When going home after the ceremony when no one is around Cassia plugs the silver chip she received about Xander into her computer.  First, she sees Xander's picture and realizes that he looks as handsome as always.  Then as quick as a snap of your fingers Xander's picture disappears and someone else's picture shows up.  This picture is a boy named Ky which is also extremely odd because Cassia knows him too.  Who is Cassia's real match?  In the end there can only be one.  Who will it be?  Xander Carrow or Ky Markham?  Not knowing what will happen next I will continue along this journey with Cassia; hoping she finds the true love that is really meant for her.
