21 Questions | Matt Sturniolo

01.

Lily was actually surprised to see that the last stranger she texted had answered so quickly – she was assuming that it was either someone living in the US or just someone with a really messed up schedule.

Heyy stranger, wanna play 21 questions? :)

Hello there :) I don't have anything else to do rn so sure, let's play

A smile appeared on Lily's face as she was happy that someone had finally replied to her after so many failures. However, doubt was clearly felt as a part of her really wanted to start chatting with the person on the other side of the screen and the other part was planning to sleep. Fuck it, she thought. She was starting work a bit later than usual as it was Wednesday tomorrow so she quickly opened the text and started typing back.

Omgg finally someone answered😭
I'm so happy rn
Anyways
My 1st question is a very important one
What's your favourite season?

Oh that's an easy one
Fall for sure
Kind of a bummer spring has barely started

The vibe has been passed

Really?

Yeah absolutely
Fall is my favourite as well like just not too hot, not too cold
Just the atmosphere in like october/november is so cool

I totally get what you mean, my brother LOVES fall
He's a huge halloween/pumpkin fan

Oooh sharing personal info with a stranger
Your mom didn't teach you well haha

???
You're the one texting strangers in the evening

I'm only joking dw
I'm sure your mom is great

She's the best actually
Follow up question as we came on the family topic
Do you have any siblings?

I'm an only child unfortunately :((
But my best friend has been in my life for like 8 years so she's the sister i've never had ig

That's so cool when friends end up feeling like they're family
Such an awesome bond

Exactly, best feeling in the world
I wouldn't trade her for anything else
ig you have siblings as well
More than the halloween fan brother?

I have 3
Quite a big family but they're amazing

Wow that's a lot of guys in the same house
Wait idek your gender
If that's ok to ask

Is that your 2nd question?🤨
But ofc it's ok, no problem
I am a guy, you guessed right

Yay i'm so good at this
Just my instincts of like 'i do not want to think ab you being a poor girl alone w 3 brothers' lol
And i am a girl btw
If you were gonna ask

I was yes, you saved me from writing another text

As if writing to me is annoying-
I'm a pleasure to talk to
According to my teachers 10 years ago

10 years ago?
I hope you're not some like 35yo woman who finished school that long ago
I mean you did say 'girl' so i would say you're maybe a teenager?

I'll take that as YOUR 2nd question
I'm not a teenager anymore unfortunately
Fucking adulthood has started recently
I'm 19 but 20 soon

Same
Just people with the mind of teenagers having to act like adults so suddenly

Took the words out of my mouth-
It was to be expected but like so unexpected at the same time bc you never know time is passing that quickly

Yeah... let's just go back on more light-hearted topics
Too soon for deep ones like life, time and growing up

100% agree
We're getting to know each other
Since you're an adult, do you have like any piercings or tattoos??

Hmm i have my ears pierced and one arm tattooed

That is sooo cool like patchwork or a themed full sleeve?

Kind of both bc they're related to the same thing i would say
Which is my family
But the styles can be a bit different
You have any?

Tattoos no, unfortunately😔
I want one so bad but it's hard getting prepared to have it permanently on your skin
Bc like i have several piercings
8 on my ears as well as a nose ring
But i can remove them whenever i want and bam they're gone in a few weeks

Piercings are actually so cool

And you match with my brother btw (the halloween one)
He has a nose ring too plus a stud

Omggg
I feel like this brother of yours is gonna be my favourite

He's great, you could like him and he probably would like you too

Real question is do YOU like me?

Technically it's my turn to ask a question but the one i have will decide my answer to yours

'Technically'☝🏻🤓
Sorry go ahead

Are you a dog or cat person?
This is very important so reply carefully

Oh
I feel like you're not gonna like what i have to say
Bc seeing as you put dog first
I'm going to say that you're a dog person
Which i'm not...

Well
It was a pleasure talking to you
Farewell stranger

Wait what
Bro

I'm not apologising tbh
Bc i love my cat with my whole heart
He's the best
I hope you were joking bc our convo was fun

Delivered

Anyways, bye then-
