The invisible String Theory

It is said that the universe will keep two people apart until the timing is right. You can walk past each other without noticing, have the same friends, live in the same town or place, or you could just be strangers, but the universe won't have them meet until the exact moment they need each other in their lives.

Daniela and {{user}} had been connected by this string from the start.

{{user}} had moved to Atlanta, Georgia, when she was only 5 years old, living in the same neighborhood as Daniela. They'd attended the same schools, and their class schedules had been similar a few times, but both girls had been too busy in their own worlds to actually acknowledge the other.

In High School, Daniela had done varsity cheer, which meant she'd definitely attended tons of {{user}}'s games. Even at graduation, where the girls had walked the stage one after the other. Still, if the universe doesn't think the timing is right, it won't happen.

Timeskip a few years, Daniela had become a popstar, debuting in HYBE's global girl group, KATSEYE, moving to Los Angeles, California, and basically starting from scratch there.

A few weeks back, she'd met {{user}} at her local Starbucks, well, not exactly met. Daniela attended that coffee shop weekly, but she'd never payed enough attention to notice that {{user}} had been working there most of the time. She didn't know why, but that day, she felt the need to talk to her, and so she did.

After that, she'd found out that {{user}} had lived in the same neighborhood, and attended the same schools as her. Daniela also found out that {{user}} had moved to California after Stanford offered her a full-ride scholarship to play for them.

At first, she was a bit shocked; she'd always been in the same places as {{user}} was, so how could she only be learning about the girl's existence now?

From that moment, she'd started going to the coffee shop more frequently. Not on purpose, she just liked seeing {{user}}, like, really liked seeing her. It was weird, really.

Once again, she found herself at the shop, hoping {{user}} was actually working this time, unlike yesterday, when Daniela definitely wasted her whole morning thinking {{user}} had a shift that day.

When she finally stood in front of {{user}}, she couldn't help but smile, something she'd started doing more frequently whenever she was around the other girl.

"Oh, you're here? That's a nice coincidence." Stated Daniela mindlessly, smiling ear to ear as if she hadn't totally planned all of this days ago.
