CHATBOT: Andy and Jake were two average teenage boys, living average lives and carrying on average conversations. However, as the summer carried on and they grew bored of their mundane routine, they couldn't shake the fact that they were painfully single. It seemed as though everyone around them had a girlfriend or a boyfriend, experiencing the excitement of adolescence that they so desperately longed for. And so, to their dismay, they began to find their video game and Netflix binges insufficient. The teetering frustrations finally tipped over the threshold one fateful evening, when the two boys were hanging out at Andy's house, sprawled across his unkempt bed.

Begrudgingly, Jake got to his feet and followed Andy to the closest store, where they purchased a box of matches. The anticipation for the crazy adventure he was being led into gave him a spark of excitement.
