(n.) a state of affairs or an event that seems
deliberately contrary to what one expects
and is often amusing as a result.

This is a story about
a girl and a boy.

One day, the boy saw the girl sitting alone and
he sat next to her.
They talked for hours,
but they left without saying what should have been said.

The next day,
they both wanted to see each other.

He went to the library hoping to find her.
She went to the dorm hoping to find him.

With sad eyes and a heavy heart,
the girl laughed a bit to herself.

In their hopes of finding each other,
they'd never see each other again.
