Was it fate?

So yesterday I went back to Nichols college to meet my classmates for the upcoming year and class of 2016. We were told to assemble into the cafeteria to hear a guest speaker. As I walk into a cafeteria of 1,000 people, I spot this one person. I get closer and I realize it was my old best friend from preschool and elimentary school. Without knowing it, our worlds collided and we reconnected. I had my best friend back. I get to start of the year knowing someone! Was it pure luck that I happened to spot him? I think fate was pointing me in his direction, saying, "you're welcome!"
