Crystal made her way downstairs where she saw both her sisters waiting. 225Please respect copyright.PENANAizio5rNwqg
“We haven’t gotten phone cases yet but we thought you guys sure all have your own phones” Marie said while presenting the girls with three iPhone boxes. 225Please respect copyright.PENANAXELhtwiDio
The girls looked very confused. Noella opened her box and revealed a phone, this only made the look of confusion grow stronger. 225Please respect copyright.PENANA7cRdslQ7Nj
“ Is something wrong? Do you not like it?” Marie asked worried she bought the wrong thing.225Please respect copyright.PENANAPGo2LK7ix9
“No I’m sure it’s great but we just don’t know what it is” Answered Charlotte. 225Please respect copyright.PENANAhpnPXjrCq3
Marie laughed. She wasn’t being mean, she was mostly laughing at herself. 225Please respect copyright.PENANA5X0vBR2H4y
“I am so sorry, I guess I forgot that we were essentially born yesterday. These are phones, most people have them. You can make calls and texts on them.”225Please respect copyright.PENANAdLmJDd7XIK
“What are texts” questioned Noella. 225Please respect copyright.PENANAzIWp5tfvPx
“It's Another form of digital communication, tomorrow morning I’ll have Matthew help you set them up and explain all of it” Marie voiced in a motherly tone. 225Please respect copyright.PENANAsprlbaWStj
225Please respect copyright.PENANAa4hdnvhvNR
The next morning……225Please respect copyright.PENANA36OchEDv4U
Matthew was headed downstairs for breakfast when he was stopped by Noella. 225Please respect copyright.PENANAoc3q4ajHmV
“Matthew I need to asked you a few things”225Please respect copyright.PENANAsmE6vIYLpE
“About the phone?”225Please respect copyright.PENANAwYvO8pRXzH
“Yeah but also something else, can we go some where private”225Please respect copyright.PENANABeOGgFSmvD
“Umm sure, we can go to my room.” 225Please respect copyright.PENANAmAJ4mhVDla
They both headed to his room and sat on his bed.225Please respect copyright.PENANAJbf0L2EIV9
“Ben said you could explain dating to me.” 225Please respect copyright.PENANAQXMv4kd5ak
Matthew paused. 225Please respect copyright.PENANAxJEsgLlpJB
“Typically it’s a guy and girl, but dating is like when a guy and girl like each other romantically and go on dates, like going out to eat, going ice skating, or going to the movies with each other. Dating also usually means you’re exclusive, meaning you don’t hold that title or go on romantic dates with other people. People usually date for an extended period of time before they get married. And before you ask, marriage is basically all that stuff plus you live together.” 225Please respect copyright.PENANABwkIFDylhP
“Can me and Ben date?” 225Please respect copyright.PENANAsEPN6Jovl4
“Um I feel like you should be having this conversation with him.” 225Please respect copyright.PENANApXtl7OB2Dg
“ Where can I find him?” 225Please respect copyright.PENANAs1g54SpYNh
“ If you’re that anxious to talk to him I can see if he’s free.” 225Please respect copyright.PENANAeY0t3fpPVw
Noella just gave him a big smile in return. Pulled out his to give Ben a call knowing he probably wouldn’t be busy. Ben was average looking. He was pale and stocky with a baby face. Neither Ben nor Matthew had much experience with girls. 225Please respect copyright.PENANAUKkJly9HqD
“Are you free right now?”225Please respect copyright.PENANA4OQwTbBvAV
“Yeah, why?” 225Please respect copyright.PENANAqjBvT2gzMu
“Do you wanna come over and help Noella set up her phone?” 225Please respect copyright.PENANACMRK3wKQ7t
“Wait, did she asks for me? Like specifically me?”225Please respect copyright.PENANANTtZu6dArN
“Are you gonna come or not?” 225Please respect copyright.PENANAPkhwH1y6nE
“Yes! Tell her I will be there” 225Please respect copyright.PENANAAVwjHFDcrs
Matthew hung up and put his phone back in his pocket. Noella was intently waiting in his doorframe. 225Please respect copyright.PENANA6gGvZIVe13
“I think he’s on his way” Matthew relayed the message back to her. 225Please respect copyright.PENANAUOdiN4hiwN
“YES!!” Noella shouted at the top of her lungs. 225Please respect copyright.PENANATV0JSVV9q8
225Please respect copyright.PENANAOBbzukcDZY
Within a few minutes Ben was ringing the doorbell. Noella had been anxiously waiting for him and rushed to open the door as soon she heard him. 225Please respect copyright.PENANADeSzcrnZhj
“Hello Ben!” She greeted him with a huge smile. 225Please respect copyright.PENANA7RWTsZTHHs
“Hello Noella, Matthew said you needed help with phone, I’m pretty tech-y so I am ha….” 225Please respect copyright.PENANA9lZ8pdQHQD
He was interrupted. 225Please respect copyright.PENANAgcFcYRCEKR
“ I don’t want to talk about the phone.” She talked rapidly. 225Please respect copyright.PENANABvOZZ3MvYz
“Oh?” 225Please respect copyright.PENANAX9eVuRsxRe
“Matthew explained dating to me like you said and I think me and you should date!” She said while grinning. 225Please respect copyright.PENANA6Z4v9rpMpp
“Are you sure?” 225Please respect copyright.PENANAFBnBiQPBoX
“Yes I’m absolutely positively 100% sure!” 225Please respect copyright.PENANAlLtbKRMp8F
“ Do you want to go catch a movie with me this Saturday?” 225Please respect copyright.PENANAEyAvIw6vNS
“YES I WOULD LOVE TO!!” 225Please respect copyright.PENANAGYatIs3W42
Ben liked her and thought she was cute but hadn’t really ever gone on a real date before. He wasn’t use to girls having crushes on him. 225Please respect copyright.PENANA0KksLCY4sc
225Please respect copyright.PENANAsfC8G3gsgc
While that was happening Luke was watching a basketball in the living room when Charlotte walked in. She was confused as to what was happening on the TV. 225Please respect copyright.PENANAo64vpJp4cR
“What’s that?” she asked Luke while pointing to the TV. 225Please respect copyright.PENANAOmyEVja2rO
“Oh it’s basketball”225Please respect copyright.PENANAZa7qUfX8q7
“Can anyone play basketball?” 225Please respect copyright.PENANAcaZ8cbTh8l
“Yeah, anyone can play, most people don’t end up on TV but all you really need is a hoop and a ball” 225Please respect copyright.PENANAI6MFC1dFTW
“ Can I play?” 225Please respect copyright.PENANAr7WjjiBwjG
He hesitated to answer her.225Please respect copyright.PENANAVFDurUf7Nx
“Yeah I think that would be a good idea. It might actually be good to see if your mutations cause you to be more or less athletically inclined then the average person.” 225Please respect copyright.PENANAz91S5hbrEk
225Please respect copyright.PENANAWXHsgcqiXP
Also while that was happening….. 225Please respect copyright.PENANABLl4wJi7eH
Crystal sat in her room obviously being the most introverted out of the bunch. She was doodling in a notebook that she found in her room. Marie and Luke gave all the girls one but Crystal was the only one to use it. Marie was upstairs when she saw Crystal’s door ajar. She peeked inside to see Crystal so focused on her drawing that she didn’t even notice Marie. Marie continued to step closer towards her daughter until she could see what she was drawing. 225Please respect copyright.PENANAgp1ns5YI91
“ oh my goodness this is really good” Marie finally made Crystal aware of her presents. 225Please respect copyright.PENANAaeKFiiioGQ
“Oh I didn’t see you” she mumbled. 225Please respect copyright.PENANAFN0FHrToCM
“These are great. When did you have the time to learn how to draw so good.” Marie continued to praise her daughter.
“ These are beautiful! Maybe we could sign you up for some art classes, I mean if you want to.” Marie said in response. 225Please respect copyright.PENANAFPjIjeE9CK
“ Yeah that actually sounds nice.” Crystal smiled.225Please respect copyright.PENANALCNw1JgbBk
This was the first time Marie had seen her smile. 225Please respect copyright.PENANATYKGNQ6w1y
