Who Is This Ryan Smith?

So I was in school today, floating inbetween classes, not really paying attention to what was going on. And I linked a bunch of strange coincidences together. Whether they are just a bunch of really freaky coincidences, or fate, is up to you.

anyways... I was thinking about how I had a crush on ryan when I was in fourth grade..but back then a year's age difference was a big thing, so it was like no way that was gonna happen...(which most people don't know about that little part there). so I was wondering how the hell that Kait(my best friend) magically got a class that was last on her list of electives..and Ryan magically happened to be in the same class, for both semesters, in the same hour. Then..Jay Donley magically convinces Ryan to try out for the play when Ryan hates to be on stage (or so he says)..then, ryan and I get cast in similar roles..(I wasn't sposed to be footman #2 when we started out rehearsals). So suddenly (this was last year obviously) I am catapulted into the presence of someone who I'd known of since 4th grade..

So we go through this whole play thing, and I magically get the courage to actually frickin talk to Ryan..which when it comes to talking to people, I would just rather avoid the whole mess. So then there's the whole finding out he likes me too..which was quite mind blowing, let me tell you, for someone who has such low self esteem like myself.

So the other day I had to ask Drew Hill for a ride home, because Kait, who normally gives me a ride home, had to stay after school, and I had to go to work right after school. And for those of you who do not know, Drew Hill typically gives Ryan a ride home too (which other than Drew being my friend, is why I asked him for a ride home and not someone else). Anyways, so we're on the way home, and a song comes on the radio. It's "Listen to Your Heart" by Roxette. And I was trying to ignore it.."Hey, it's just a coincidence" I said to myself. So I get up the next morning feeling slightly more depressed than usual, and got ready for school. I get in my best friend's car to go to school, and guess what comes on the radio? The same song! By this time I'm saying "Okay, someone's trying to send me messages using a radio. Weird." So the day after that I'm messing around with this little hand-held 20 questions game, and I decided "Hey, let's see if it can guess Ryan Smith! (I was bored, okay?)" So I go through the questions that it poses, and it gets to question #19 and it says "Would you use it in the dark?" o_O Question #20 reads "Can you play with it?" O_O WTF? So anyways...at the end of the 20 questions it says "I will guess that you are thinking of...A Soul Mate.." I just kinda sat there and stared at it for a minute, trying to figure out if I was reading what I thought I was. And yes, it was saying exactly what I thought it was. So I'm like "This is starting to get creepy..people are sending my messages using electronic devices!!" So then that day I got in my best friend's car to come home, and she turns on the radio and it's just playing in the backround as we talk. I start telling her of all these creepy coincidences that keep happening..and THE SAME SONG (listen to your heart) COMES ON THE RADIO!! And we just kinda look at each other and we're like "Yeah, it's no coincidence." So then I was telling Drew Hill about all the stuff, and he asked "How many signs do you need?" To which I replied "And the funny thing is, we're discussing fate in my English class."
