Crystal made her way downstairs where she saw both her sisters waiting. 286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrJApEfEHvX
“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. 286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOjB4JPEgCk
The girls looked very confused. Noella opened her box and revealed a phone, this only made the look of confusion grow stronger. 286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA37l0mLJoh
“ Is something wrong? Do you not like it?” Marie asked worried she bought the wrong thing.286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD32nP7kk4m
“No I’m sure it’s great but we just don’t know what it is” Answered Charlotte. 286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ23HqwnQGM4
Marie laughed. She wasn’t being mean, she was mostly laughing at herself. 286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlwazgOv1Pv
“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.”286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWMRuMS6Bbi
“What are texts” questioned Noella. 286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡClP3NKQQ0s
“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. 286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPJSPVkhaFF
286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDrgPo9YLLO
The next morning……286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkrveFFcNqc
Matthew was headed downstairs for breakfast when he was stopped by Noella. 286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡphEqHqfSbE
“Matthew I need to asked you a few things”286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHfboY9OZoi
“About the phone?”286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuljMYJS0yn
“Yeah but also something else, can we go some where private”286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsFRFXeZDiJ
“Umm sure, we can go to my room.” 286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEvWCGDjvhn
They both headed to his room and sat on his bed.286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMJLcr5oJml
“Ben said you could explain dating to me.” 286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt7nVg9woMz
Matthew paused. 286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnbbBKQzzMH
“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.” 286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNRHHImLBA9
“Can me and Ben date?” 286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuYDy1kWEv5
“Um I feel like you should be having this conversation with him.” 286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyOD9CBHdkj
“ Where can I find him?” 286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmszOYgNAtE
“ If you’re that anxious to talk to him I can see if he’s free.” 286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGEFShdVqlf
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. 286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj11P7l2sii
“Are you free right now?”286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHKeesU2ASc
“Yeah, why?” 286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdZWkZhkica
“Do you wanna come over and help Noella set up her phone?” 286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS5JnmY9631
“Wait, did she asks for me? Like specifically me?”286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdEVwtYBPWz
“Are you gonna come or not?” 286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9pEJebShfv
“Yes! Tell her I will be there” 286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhAzdE762Ny
Matthew hung up and put his phone back in his pocket. Noella was intently waiting in his doorframe. 286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9TC4sQRtzh
“I think he’s on his way” Matthew relayed the message back to her. 286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEagjfUP7oO
“YES!!” Noella shouted at the top of her lungs. 286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW7WH7prptk
286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF96Je2dfRz
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. 286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3FyajYdPoo
“Hello Ben!” She greeted him with a huge smile. 286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡupzldWF9K8
“Hello Noella, Matthew said you needed help with phone, I’m pretty tech-y so I am ha….” 286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkBgG0swVeZ
He was interrupted. 286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKPH0KgZeDN
“ I don’t want to talk about the phone.” She talked rapidly. 286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzzvony7DKP
“Oh?” 286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPX4tqFTJBr
“Matthew explained dating to me like you said and I think me and you should date!” She said while grinning. 286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdaxVz4RsIn
“Are you sure?” 286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk8AbOAvqRs
“Yes I’m absolutely positively 100% sure!” 286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZjfloIMu6I
“ Do you want to go catch a movie with me this Saturday?” 286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAkFVU8EPdW
“YES I WOULD LOVE TO!!” 286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLrEmh5INam
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. 286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2vsZOJlaBH
286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSuLkcjEsUC
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. 286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB99X5nsCeE
“What’s that?” she asked Luke while pointing to the TV. 286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8UmXo0NkpL
“Oh it’s basketball”286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmryd6gFmeQ
“Can anyone play basketball?” 286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlXSyKusuT5
“Yeah, anyone can play, most people don’t end up on TV but all you really need is a hoop and a ball” 286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsrQQtn1n32
“ Can I play?” 286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv1krgN9N7O
He hesitated to answer her.286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBHvT8Ndoyt
“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.” 286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡil8rwKp5oy
286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUpnnH6B96Z
Also while that was happening….. 286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9aafuDoOUD
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. 286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmMxRyLrRBX
“ oh my goodness this is really good” Marie finally made Crystal aware of her presents. 286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3UJN860BeC
“Oh I didn’t see you” she mumbled. 286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD2nAavnEbJ
“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. 286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbg3L4BCSU5
“ Yeah that actually sounds nice.” Crystal smiled.286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe8GecRIKSy
This was the first time Marie had seen her smile. 286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsDst62Uafo
