Writing prompts I wrote short stories for

Write a story about a misunderstanding.

*Clapping*

"Thank you, thank you all for coming to our wedding." People from the families 'woo'd and cheered.

"I have a little story I would like to tell. It's a story my, now, wife doesn't even know." She looked at me with surprise and urged me on.

Everyone looked at me with intent.

"This story is about the biggest misunderstanding of my life. But the best thing that ever happened to me."

-story being told-

It was a Wednesday night and I had been fired from my job, my girlfriend at the time had dumped me, and I was going to be evicted. All of these for the same reason, someone had given the police a description of a guy that looks like me. This man, Ken Donner, had committed several crimes and was wanted in all countries.

Now I know that this sounds like the worst thing, but I promise it gets better. -laughter-

So, I was walking around the park, sad and lonely, when I saw the most beautiful girl. She happened to look over at me, and we made eye contact. She waved and patted the seat next to her. I was surprised, yet I looked around to see if she was talking to someone else but the park was empty. I walked over and sat down next to this girl.

"Hey! What's your name?" She asked me with a huge smile. "Jason Hums, yours?"

"Sunny Young. What are you doing around here?" -Everyone gasps, the story is about how we met. How could she not know about the story?-

"I just had a horrible day so I'm taking a nice walk, what are you doing here?"

"Ah, hard to explain..."

"Let me guess, had a good day and you're celebrating?" She laughs and nods.

"Hey, I think I've seen you before... Are you an actor?" I answered yes because I thought she was in the movie industry and had seen me at an audition. Apparently that was not the case.

"Oh really? What movies are you in?"

"Well, I'm currently waiting on a call back for a recent audition. I hope I do get the role, it'd be really cool."

"Wow, I hope you do get the role, I'd love to watch it."

"Thanks. And it seems to be getting late, so I should go."

"Oh, what's your number? I want to know when you get the call!"

And I went home with the number of the prettiest girl I'd ever seen.

For years she thought that I was an established actor before we met. It was the biggest misunderstanding ever.

Either way I did get the role and started to get more. So she never suspected a thing, I feel bad for halfway lying... I never really knew she thought that until about a year ago when she brought up the fact that she's only seen my movies from when we met.

-Story is no longer being told-

"I figured this story would be entertaining and clear up a few false facts."

Everyone cheered and my wife came over.

"Why didn't you just tell me? You big dork."

"Haha, I thought it would be a good, goofy wedding story."
