fate (n) the development of events beyond a person's control, regarded as determined by a supernatural power
Julie Molina didn't believe in fate. She believed in cause and effect. Some people might think this opinion to be simple minded, sure, but it made much more sense than a spiritual force willing things to happen. Besides, you couldn't tell her "fate" is what caused her mother's death. Rose had stage four pancreatic cancer - cause; she died in six months' time of her diagnosis - effect.
So when she met her band - her friends, her chosen family - in that musty old shed on Monday, September 17, 2020, she didn't think much of it. Flynn swore up and down that fate had pulled the five misfits together, and every time she proclaimed this, Julie denied it. They had all received after school detention - cause; they met and formed Julie and the Phantoms - effect.
Though looking back to that warm September day, as much as it pained her, Julie had to agree. Maybe, just a teeny weeny little bit of fate had thrown the five teenagers into a sucky situation together, knowing that greater things would happen. She would never admit this to Flynn though.
