Owen || Cassidy
What are you doing three weeks from now on Friday?
Since its Friday probably working. Why?
Its St. Patrick's day, but that's not why I am asking. You don't get it off?
No, it's not a major holiday, of course I am working.
Oh my boss lets me have it off.
Is he Irish?
No. I don't think he is Irish at all, he just would rather not work on a holiday. I don't know, all I know is I have never had to work on a holiday.
Huh. That's weird. But why do you ask?
I want to know if you would want to hang out. Because I heard Green Day is going to be performing later.
That would be amazing to go to, but they're sold out and I have never been to a concert before.
Don't worry, I will get everything handled. I want to leave you a disclaimer though.
What's that?
I am going to try and get tickets, however, I can't guarantee I will get them. So I don't want you to get your hopes up.
It's alright Owen. I understand.
Good. Get excited.
Why exactly would I do that?
Because you agree to meet me on St. Pat's!
Hold on there, Cowboy, I never agree to that.
But yeah, you did.
No, I didn't. I said it would be nice to go to the concert, not that I agreed to it.
Dang. You just had to ruin my fun, didn't you?
I don't necessarily agree to that.
Yes you did. I thought I could finally see your beautiful smile and face again.
Okay. That wasn't a very good pickup line, Owen.
I'm sorry. I am upset now. Can't really think straight.
You never told me how you know me.
We went to the same school. However, I forgot if we were in the same grade, I do know we had a few classes together.
And you are sure about that?
Yes, I am sure about that.
Okay. I believe you. Somewhat.
Somewhat?
Yeah. What high school did you go to?
Wayside South High School.
Same as me... I believe you for that subject completely now. So guess what? I agree to meet you. Not quite sure when yet. So take your own advice, Owen, and get excited.
