You were standing by your locker, trying to unlock the combination lock when you felt a presence right near you. You turn around and see your best friend, Al in close proximity, noticeably invading your personal bubble.
"Al, if you're trying to figure out my locker combination again, I swear I'll- ."
"No no, ______. I just wanted to show you something." You raised one eyebrow as you saw him pull out a paper fortune teller from behind him.  
"A cootie catcher?"  
"Not just any cootie catcher, an awesome one made by me. Wanna try it? Please?"
"Okay, fine." You smiled, it's been ages since you've even seen a cootie catcher, maybe since elementary school to be exact and you guys were now in high school.
"Alright, first pick a color."
"(f/c)."  
He spelled out the color as he used his fingers to switch between the folds of the paper fortune teller. "Now pick a number."
You pointed to one of the numbers and giggled as you watched him fidget around with it a tiny bit before he was able to properly switch the position of the folds in the cootie catcher.
He smiled excitedly like a little kid as you picked from the last group of numbers after that.
"Last round now, _____! Are you ready for the big finale?" he joked.
"Yes!" you said, catching his contagious enthusiasm.  You waited for the result as you chose one of the flaps. Lifting it, Al revealed the fortune towards you.
'An awesome, hot dude with blonde hair and glasses will take you out on a date tonight.'
You blushed as you processed this but started giggling. You flung your arms around Al, pulling him into a hug. He beamed at this and returned the hug.
Then you suddenly realized something. "Wait a second, what would happen if I picked another color or number?" You grabbed the paper fortune teller and started to unfold it entirely. "You put that message on all four sides, didn't you?"
"Yeah…" he chuckled.
Indeed you saw the same fortune on each flap so no matter which number or color you picked, it would still be the same result: you were going on a date with Al.
You snickered as you hugged him tighter.
Just a short dribble drabble I wrote, if you can call it that.. don't think it turned out too well though.
