A pair of University of Wisconsin-Madison students who took their campus Snapchat story by storm Thursday night turned into internet stars by Monday.
And while the more cynical among us may have thought that it was a viral marketing stunt, according to New York Magazine's Select All, their modern-day fairy tale was real.
It all started when "Mystery Girl" posted a video in which she proclaimed her love for a stranger in a Vikings jersey, enter, "Vikings Fan." The pair exchanged snaps on the public campus story several times in an attempt to meet up while the entire campus watched until, finally, they did.
Select All reporter Madison Malone Kircher tracked down the pair— whose real names are actually Abby and Reed — and it turns out, they're just regular college seniors.
"If you look on Facebook, we only became friends yesterday," Abby told Select All. "We just added each other on Snapchat. We have all the evidence to prove this is real."
Abby and Reed also told Select All while they don't consider themselves to be dating, they have seen each other "every day-ish" since and made brownies, watched a movie, and even attended a party together.
