Casey
omg I am so hungoverrrrr
Casey
Yeah. I ended up going to the soccer party after all
Ben
The one at Christian's house?
Casey
Yeah, how'd you know?
Ben
Casey...I was there...
Casey
No way! I didn't see you!
Casey
Huh, really? Did I say hello?
Ben
What do you mean? We're best friends, of course you said hello. You were also downing some tequila.
Casey
Oh god that explains the hangover
Ben
You really don't remember me being there?
Casey
I don't....that's so weird...maybe I didn't recognize you or something...
Ben
I have been away all summer...but I don't think I look THAT different
Casey
Well, since you WERE there, maybe you can help me.
Casey
Last night, I had a Cinderella moment.
Ben
I don't think puking on yourself qualifies as a "cinderella moment"
Casey
That explains the stain...
Ben
So what was your "Cinderella moment"?
Casey
Well, maybe less Cinderella, more Prince Charming. As in I am Prince Charming.
Ben
Yeah you met a lot of people. You're a very friendly drunk.
Casey
No, no, like a guy! A really nice guy...
Casey
He was so sweet, and cute, and he talked to me like he just knew me.
Ben
Maybe he did know you.
Casey
No I'm positive I had never met this dude in my life
Ben
Casey, you were preeeetty drunk.
Casey
Trust me, this was different.
Ben
Okay, so that's it? He just talked to you?
Casey
I'm not finished with the story! So we're talking for a while, and then he takes my hand...
Casey
And then he looks at me with these crazy blue eyes...
Casey
Well i think they were blue, idk i can’t remember. But he says, "I've never said this to anyone before, but I love you."
Casey
And then he kissed me!!!!
Ben
You sure his eyes were blue?
Casey
BEN I don't know, but that's not the point of the story! I had the most magical kiss last night!
Ben
So what's the Cinderella part of it?
Casey
I HAVE NO IDEA WHO HE IS
Casey
Yeah! Someone called him, and he said he had to go. So I asked for his number and he said "you already have it"
Casey
Ben, I have no idea who this guy is! Why would I have his number?
Ben
I don't know. You clearly have no idea what color his eyes are, so who's to say you haven't met him before?
Casey
What's that supposed to mean?
Ben
It's just that if you had this "magical" moment with someone, wouldn't you remember the color of their eyes?
Casey
FOCUS BEN. I need your help.
Casey
You were at the party last night. Maybe you know him! Or someone else who knows him!
Casey
He's tall, on the skinny side, super tan, with wavy black hair and BLUE eyes
Ben
Casey, I think you dreamt up this guy or something
Casey
No way. He's real, and he's definitely my soul mate or something.
Ben
Thought you didn't believe in soul mates.
Casey
Ugh will you just help me?
Ben
yeah I'll help you. But on one condition.
Ben
When you find out who it is, you can't freak out.
Casey
Why would I do that?
Ben
Okay I'll ask Christian. He probably knows.
Christian
Sup brah? Heard about you and Casey last night! :D
Ben
Yeah, so, I'm in a bit of a pickle
Christian
She sober up and friendzone you?
Ben
No, worse. She thinks we're soul mates.
Christian
WHAAAAT. Wait, how is that worse?
Ben
She doesn't know it was me...
Ben
She was so drunk last night, she didn't recognize me, and now she thinks she had this “magical” moment with some random guy.
Ben
And now she wants me to find out who he is and set them up.
Christian
Well, you told her right?
Christian
Dude. You can't let her go on thinking that...you have to tell her!
Christian
Just text her. Tell her, "hey remember that dude you made out with? That was me"
Ben
Yeah because that's gonna win her over. I'm just afraid it'll be awkward and ruin everything.
Christian
Better than not telling her right?
Christian
btw, you coming over later?
Ben
Maybe. Depends on how things with Casey go.
Christian
Well, if you do, bring some advil. my headache is KILLER.
Christian
Plus I need help cleaning my house before the rents get home.
Ben
On second thought, I don’t think I can come over…
Christian
Come on ben!!!! PLEASE
Casey
BEN BEN I think I found him
Casey
THE GUY. His name is Kurt
Ben
What the hell are you talking about?
Casey
Kristina said she talked to Melanie who met a guy named Kurt with black hair. But his eyes were brown...I was super off
Ben
Casey, it wasn't some guy named Kurt. I met that guy...he has a unibrow
Ben
I have to tell you something. And I don't know how you're going to react.
Ben
First of all, the guy you kissed? He has green eyes.
Casey
GREEN!! That's what they were! I remember now! Like sea glass
Casey
Wait, how'd you know they were green? Do you know him??
Ben
It was me. I kissed you.
Casey
But...I would've recognized you...
Ben
I lost a lot of weight over the summer, and I got tan.
Casey
I don't understand.
Ben
I love you Casey. I have for a really really long time. I just never had the guts to tell you until last night. I needed a little liquid courage.
Casey
That was you? You're sure?
Casey
I don't know what to say. You're my best friend.
Ben
I know. And if you want to forget it ever happened, I completely understand.
Casey
Wait what? I don't want to forget it happened
Casey
Of course. This means you’re my Cinderella.
Ben
oh please don't get mushy on me
Casey
GET OVER IT BEN. I'm coming over to your house. Right now.
Casey
I'm hungover and I look like shit, but dammit, I'm gonna kiss you.
Ben
At least eat a breath mint okay? :)
