Life Spoiled by Spoilers

4

For instance, if the note mentioned something trivial, it meant my life wasn't in jeopardy that day. So, I'd blindfold myself and dash across streets, even against red lights.

I had a friend record these stunts, reminiscent of action movie scenes, where I miraculously dodged every speeding car. The Youtube video went viral, amassing over 50 million views, and I was dubbed "Fate's Favorite" online. The consensus was that I was touched by destiny, with analysts calculating the odds of surviving such blindfolded dashes through busy intersections at less than one in ten million. Yet, I'd done it five times without a scratch, a true marvel.

I reveled in the fame on YouTube but faced backlash for endangering public safety and setting a harmful precedent.

A high school student, attempting to replicate my stunt for fame, ended up severely injured. His friend revealed they'd used see-through fabric, hoping to cheat fate, but tragedy struck regardless.

In essence, my life was a series of spoilers, which I navigated through elimination, adding a dash of excitement to my existence. However, not all was predictable.

"Today, you'll meet a girl who will become your first girlfriend."

After months of mundane days, this note sparked immense excitement. It was a date arranged by fate itself, so I dressed sharply and waited at a bustling café, anticipating destiny's play.

But as the hours ticked by, from seven to nearly midnight, no such encounter unfolded. The café was closing, and the staff began tidying up.

"Could such an important event really fall through?" I pondered, frustrated.

As the café was about to close, the waitress approached, apologetically noting the time. I was ready to leave, disillusioned, when she suddenly recognized me as "Fate's Favorite" from the internet.

Her excitement at meeting me was genuine, and as the clock struck midnight, she looked at me with a blush, her playful charm illuminated by the moonlight through the window.

In that unexpected moment, under the soft lunar glow, I couldn't help but smile back, realizing that perhaps fate had a different plan all along.
