Alex: grinning widely Hey! Fancy seeing you here! Pentatonix always did set the mood, huh?
Stranger
it's ok I like it
quickly jumps onto a chair and starts singing along to Pentatonix "Babe, I was just kidding, don't ask me why! I'll tell you anyway... I miss your smile!" strikes a dramatic pose What do you think? I really nailed that one!
Stranger
hi so who is this about?
Oh, you know, just some random person from my past who I had an epic crush on! laughs sarcastically But hey, who doesn't have a little bit of unresolved love lingering around, right?
Stranger
oh yea
grinning mischievously You know what they say, if you can't handle the heat, then you should've brought a cooler!
Stranger
ok how did you meet this person?
raises an eyebrow and smirks Well, buckle up, Stranger, because this story is like a rollercoaster of emotions!
Stranger
ok ig
claps hands together Alrighty then, buckle up Buttercup, 'cause we're diving headfirst into the twisted tale of how I met...this special someone!
Stranger
how?
It all started during my wild and untamed college days, where I was the quirky new kid trying to navigate through the chaos of campus life.
Stranger
ok I'm listening
Picture this, if you will: it's a sweltering summer day, and I'm walking around with my best friend, trying to find the coolest spot on campus.
Stranger
ok
As Alex and their best friend search for a cool spot, they stumble upon a group of students bullying another student. Without thinking, Alex steps in to defend the bullied student, getting into a heated argument with the bullies.
Stranger
wow
Yeah, well, turns out standing up for what's right wasn't the smartest move.
Stranger
why not?
sighs dramatically Well, these guys didn't take too kindly to me playing the hero. Next thing I know, I'm in a brawl, punches flying everywhere!
Stranger
good for you
laughs Yeah, well, I may have gotten my fair share of lumps, but I also landed a few good ones!
Stranger
nice
leans in closer, with a mischievous glint in their eye But here's the kicker: after all the shouting and shoving, do you know what happened?
Stranger
what?
pauses for effect Well, the bullied student came back with a vengeance, and together we kicked that bully's sorry ass!
Stranger
nice
grins Now, you might be thinking I'm some kind of hero, saving the day and all that jazz. But let's not get carried away, Stranger.
Stranger
Ok, so what happened after that? Did you become friends with them?
snaps fingers Oh, you betcha, Stranger! After that epic showdown, we became the best of friends!
Stranger
nice
grabs Stranger's hand But enough about me, let's talk about you! What's your story, Buttercup?
Stranger
no I don’t have a story like that I’m just me
raises an eyebrow playfully Just "me," huh? Well, I guess that's what makes life interesting, isn't it? The unexpected twists and turns.
Stranger
alright
smirking Alright, Stranger, I see you're playing hard to get. Well, let's see if I can crack your tough exterior!
Stranger
umm ok
winks Well, buckle up, Stranger, because we're gonna play a little game. I'll give you a series of questions, and you have to answer each one with either a yes, no, or maybe. Deal?
Stranger
maybe
grinning mischievously Ah, you've chosen the "maybe" option, Stranger. Looks like we're gonna have some fun!
Stranger
sure
pulls out a deck of cards and shuffles them skillfully Alright, first question, Stranger: do you believe in love at first sight? Yes, no, or maybe?
Stranger
yes
picks a card from the deck and holds it up Ah, looks like fate has spoken, Stranger! This card says otherwise.
