And so it went on like this, just normal pairings, until it was two o'clock. The rest of us stood up – three guys, three girls again – and stood there awkwardly waiting. I watched as the first two got together. Two guys. Crap. One guy, three girls. Two of us remaining were gay, and it sure as heck wasn't me. I walked up to the last guy.
“Hi,” I spoke timidly.
He looked down at his clock. “Um, sorry to tell you, but I still have two seconds left.” Two seconds?! I had three.
One of the other girls came running over and kissed him. I and the last person in the room locked eyes.
No. It couldn't be. “EW!!” I screeched. “That is disgusting! I am not gay!” I tried to run from the room, but my supposed “soul mate” grabbed my arm and spun me around.
“You sure about that, love?” she said, and, to my horror, kissed me. But after the initial shock, I realized that I kind of liked it. I had been a homophobic bigot, so fate decided my soul mate a girl.

Finally, it was time. I walked to the room, known as the “Room of Love” by the students, my heart pounding. I started to feel terrified at who it could be. I stepped into the room, and it was almost full. I was a bit late. I think I was the last one. I counted everyone up. Fourteen guys and fourteen girls, including me. Good. No more gays. I sat down in one of the chairs. The first hour stood up. Three guys and three girls. They all mingled about silently in the front, too afraid to talk to each other, and all of us watched. None of them even dared to look at the others. The first two paired up after twelve minutes: this really hot guy and some girl I'd never met. The next couple was the most popular girl in the school and this zit-faced nerd when he finally spoke to her. I felt sorry for her. The last two were paired up the next second.

It was my day. The day. My clock looked to be stopping around 2:30. I was in the afternoon group.
I couldn't handle waiting. I was so restless the entire day. I just couldn't focus. How did they expect me to focus? I was about to meet my soul mate! Of /course/ I was super excited!

My school has this weird thing they do for our clocks. I don't know if any other place does it, but I guess it makes sense. If your clock is set to reach zero during the school day, they have you go into this big room. I suppose to narrow down the possibilities. If yours will stop before 11:00, you go in in the morning. If it's set for between 11 and 3, they let you in once the room is empty. That way the crowd isn't as big. Of course, it's never huge. Maybe twenty or thirty kids total was the largest group we ever had.

A few of my friends had found their own soul mates. They were so lucky. Except for this one girl.
We used to be really great friends. We'd talk about boys and gossip and everything together. But then her day came. She found hers at 9:00 AM, at school. I found her in the hallway after my 8:45-9:30 class, and she was holding hands with this other girl. I went up to her and asked her who her soul mate was and she said, “Yeah. Meet Sophia,” and the girl she was with stuck out her hand for me to shake. So I screamed out, “Oh my God, you're a /lesbian/?!” and just ran off. I mean, I can't be friends with a /lesbian/! They're all so /weird/. Gay people are just unnatural in my opinion. Like, how can you be attracted to another girl?

Ohhhh.... The color looked kinda red to me, so I was pretty confused.

Ah. Sorry. My bad.

It says
"Final Shooting Draft

so, I dunno. I don't know much about anything, really, except the random unimportant stuff.

Ah, yes, good point. I forgot about that. But I do know one line that I'm pretty sure is different in the movie. Of course, it's just in a song, and it's the only thing, but still.

But we still get tongue tied when a handsome man is around.

His name's Trey. Or something like that.

Well which one of us rules the internet? Thankyouverymuch.

It's just "WARNING: Do not consume raw cookie dough" on most. I don't think they put an actual reason most of the time.
