18 - 327

Once upon a time, in the magical age of 18, there were two friends; Bell and Line. Bell was engaged and asked Line to be one of her bridesmaids. The week of the wedding arrived and Line was going to fly to Bell's house to spend the week with her.

But the night before Line's flight, the sky turned orange.

Line prayed that the roads would be alright in the morning and she would still be able to make her flight, despite the snow. She awoke very early the next morning to find that the roads were in such bad conditions that they had all been closed off. She was able to reschedule her flight for the next day, but she still wondered why. Why that night of all nights did the sky turn orange? She wondered curiously about it all afternoon, for there is a reason for everything.

The age of 18 was under the reign of 327. It was a number that brought Line luck, and her days were always good ones whenever she spotted the number. It wasn't until late that afternoon that Line noticed something she hadn't before. The number of the flight she was supposed to be on that morning was 3274.

Line might not have known the reason for why the sky turned orange and had prevented her from flying out that day, but she had found a 327. It had indeed been planned that she wouldn't make that flight. The 327 on her ticket told her that it was a good thing she hadn't been on that flight. She was content. Who could tell whether she would make her flight the next day or not? She knew that she was not meant to be on that plane that day.

Today, in the magical age of 18, there are two friends; Bell and Line. Bell is engaged and has asked Line to be one of her bridesmaids. The week of the wedding has arrived, and Line is going to fly to Bell's house to spend the week with her.
