The day starts out like any other Sunday, I wake up, brush my teeth, have a shower, get dressed and then, I check my phone;
4 missed calls

None seem too important so I check my emails. I'm hoping to find a response to a job ad I enquired about three days ago, but I see nothing. I drop my phone down on the couch next to me and make my way to the kitchen for some breakfast. Pancakes or waffles? I think I'll have waffles today.
After finishing my breakfast I grab my keys and head out, I'm hoping to do some shopping before jackie gets here, jackie AKA jacks is my best friend, we've been friends since kindergarten and have been inseparable ever since. We've planned a movie night, slashers and horror films is the plan.
I grab the last of the groceries and dump them in my car, as I close the door I notice black markings on the light post next to my car bay, Hmm. As I get closer I notice it's a phone number. I glance at it for a few seconds and decide to write it down, maybe it's some sexy hunk from the gym down the street, I doubt it but why not give it a shot. I hop in my car and head back home.
As I'm unpacking the groceries I think about the phone number, I grab my phone out and take a seat on the bar stool behind the counter. As I punch the digits in, I type my message:
Me: hey, found your number on the corner of Maddington and Tinsley.
I place my phone down after hitting send and laugh, I hardly think they'll respo- *DING*
My phone dings and I pick it up reluctantly:
Them: yo, finally, someone found it
I hesitate to respond thinking "this is probably a bad idea, it could be a serial killer for all I know, maybe this will soon be the biggest mistake of my-" *DING* my phone chimes again:
Them: what made you message?
I type out my response, thinking, I really don't know to be honest:
Me: I actually don't know, thought it could be fun ;)
Them: well you're in luck, I'm always up for a bit of fun
Me: so do I get to see what you look like?
Them: Hmm, I think I'll make you work for that one ;p
A smile spreads across my face as I place my phone down to unpack the rest of the shopping. Work for it? I think what a strange thing to say to someone you just met. As you put the last of the shopping away, you plop onto the couch and pull out your phone:
Me: I like a challenge
Them: good because I don't make it easy
I smile again as I read it. I open a new message to jacks:
Me: hey babe what time are you thinking of getting here?
Jackstar: maybe 6?
Me: sounds good I'll see you then. I got the snacks and everything xx
I switch my phone off and run up the stairs to get changed back into my Pyjamas *DING* my phone dings again from downstairs. I race down to see who it is:
Them: wanna play two truths and a lie?
