|UNDER-GOING EDITING| Even after meeting so many times, none of them knows the identity of the other. Thea and Chance have been bumping into each other randomly since the age of 14. In fact, Chance has even witnessed Thea's first period and she has seen him in his most vulnerable state when he was sobbing and begging for a chance at being accepted by society. Thea has even put together a journal tracking all of the times they've met called 'The Stalker Journal'. Finally, at Stanford University, both are reunited after all this time, leading to a beautiful friendship or maybe even more... Is their Run-In a Coincidence? I think not. ._. "YOU!" we both screamed. "Haven't you stalked in me enough back in New York? Oh, wait don't answer that because you obviously didn't, considering the fact that you're in the same college as me!" I glared at him. If you didn't get the memo yet, this guy has been stalking me since forever. He laughed like an idiot then said "Oh I'm the stalker, you're the one who has been following me for the last 4 years or so!" ok so now this boy was lying and accusing me. "I have not been following you, I am not that desperate and even if I was, who'd wanna follow you, you dick!" Chance looked angry, then he was suddenly calm and tried to reason, "Ok maybe this is a coincidence-" he had not finished but I cut him off. "Hmm... Maybe you're right, I mean what are the chances that two strangers who have been seeing each other in random places at random times are reunited in a college which is like six hours away from their home town, not to mention the fact that we're both in this art class, right next to each other... COINCIDENCE MY ASS!"
