Modern day technology has nearly wiped out the old school idea of pen pals, however when two young people with old souls stumble across a website that matches you with an anonymous pen pal, they may find that fate is much realer than they thought.
I...
With mere minutes left before he'd have to leave for the Halloween party, Shawn gave himself one last look over in the mirror to make sure his costume was perfect. Sure, Clark Kent wasn't the most unique or creative costume, but it was easy and he looked good. The Superman shirt peeked out through his unbuttoned white dress shirt perfectly and his black rimmed glasses framed his face to perfection. The little curl that hung in front of his face wasn't purposeful, but it did make for the perfect finishing touch. Just as he picked up his things to head out, his phone buzzed with an Instagram notification saying that Camila had posted a photo. He eagerly swiped his thumb across the screen and beamed with happiness when he saw her face.

@camila_cabello:might ditch the costume and just be "girl wearing a very comfortable robe" for Halloween 🤷🏻♀️
He double-tapped the picture to like it, per usual, before opening the comment box and adding a single angel emoji. She still hadn't told him what her costume was going to be, so when she saw his comment she was slightly surprised. Deciding to go ahead and ask him, she picked up her phone and sent him a text.
C: How did you know??
S: What? Are you drunk already?
C: LMAO no - my costume. I'm an angel. How did you know?
S: Woah. I didn't. Weird coincidence, I guess. Do I get to see?
C: Well once I put it on, yes. If I sent you a picture of me right now it would take this conversation into a very different direction. What about you? Are you in your costume yet?
Shawn chuckled at her text before opening his camera and taking a picture of his costume, focusing on the large 'S' printed on his chest as it peeked out from under his white button up shirt. He sent the image and awaited her response.
C: Clark Kent?
S: Yeah...I know it's not super creative but it's what I've got.
C: I mean I'm being an angel so I can't criticize your creativity. You better be careful though...Clark Kent is the ultimate chick magnet costume
S: Did you just unironically use the term "chick magnet"?
C: Maybe
S: How strong is this chick magnet? Strong enough to reach Miami?
C: I wish. I'm already struggling to keep up with Bristol's drinking. I'm gonna need an emotional support person just to cope with the amount of tequila shots I know she's gonna convince me to take tonight
S: I bed it'd be fun to get drunk with you. You can learn a lot about a person when their drunk.
C: Ain't that the truth.
"Camila!" Bristol shouted. "Stop texting your eye candy and get dressed. We're gonna be late for the party!" Camila rolled her eyes and stood up from her bed to finish getting ready.
