Crystal made her way downstairs where she saw both her sisters waiting. 357Please respect copyright.PENANATiAOy4QNzn
“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. 357Please respect copyright.PENANAiBTu2aDofE
The girls looked very confused. Noella opened her box and revealed a phone, this only made the look of confusion grow stronger. 357Please respect copyright.PENANAl86OGgyGPh
“ Is something wrong? Do you not like it?” Marie asked worried she bought the wrong thing.357Please respect copyright.PENANAvRdvmhZCFq
“No I’m sure it’s great but we just don’t know what it is” Answered Charlotte. 357Please respect copyright.PENANAerJZnuvFLe
Marie laughed. She wasn’t being mean, she was mostly laughing at herself. 357Please respect copyright.PENANA203V2VjihO
“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.”357Please respect copyright.PENANAak2WuE2KLQ
“What are texts” questioned Noella. 357Please respect copyright.PENANAwBfCsl4fsO
“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. 357Please respect copyright.PENANA2Gc9uVZm1M
357Please respect copyright.PENANACSX24AJh0D
The next morning……357Please respect copyright.PENANA4AEXw8dEhY
Matthew was headed downstairs for breakfast when he was stopped by Noella. 357Please respect copyright.PENANAdRPknZ4asC
“Matthew I need to asked you a few things”357Please respect copyright.PENANAKceHoy1WPv
“About the phone?”357Please respect copyright.PENANAFNfCirEhdo
“Yeah but also something else, can we go some where private”357Please respect copyright.PENANA5QRRVJclzH
“Umm sure, we can go to my room.” 357Please respect copyright.PENANAKKS0snEh02
They both headed to his room and sat on his bed.357Please respect copyright.PENANAnXciisc6Sr
“Ben said you could explain dating to me.” 357Please respect copyright.PENANAKwUjLYvBMb
Matthew paused. 357Please respect copyright.PENANAMuV0JVhZ1O
“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.” 357Please respect copyright.PENANAky5FQptoB6
“Can me and Ben date?” 357Please respect copyright.PENANA94CsV1jjkY
“Um I feel like you should be having this conversation with him.” 357Please respect copyright.PENANAAVzwDn4xZO
“ Where can I find him?” 357Please respect copyright.PENANAjCy1jzrcWX
“ If you’re that anxious to talk to him I can see if he’s free.” 357Please respect copyright.PENANAvosdozTSm3
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. 357Please respect copyright.PENANAk0BFdVyR0O
“Are you free right now?”357Please respect copyright.PENANAczq61APLHp
“Yeah, why?” 357Please respect copyright.PENANAYan4kj9PHM
“Do you wanna come over and help Noella set up her phone?” 357Please respect copyright.PENANAHaPD0D43sw
“Wait, did she asks for me? Like specifically me?”357Please respect copyright.PENANALIao4Vr3Wy
“Are you gonna come or not?” 357Please respect copyright.PENANA3bLcfWx6c2
“Yes! Tell her I will be there” 357Please respect copyright.PENANA2jeBbJRAtU
Matthew hung up and put his phone back in his pocket. Noella was intently waiting in his doorframe. 357Please respect copyright.PENANAGHyaxyK4Vh
“I think he’s on his way” Matthew relayed the message back to her. 357Please respect copyright.PENANAzUUH1vIQ6Y
“YES!!” Noella shouted at the top of her lungs. 357Please respect copyright.PENANAYixamungt3
357Please respect copyright.PENANA3J5UeuoP9u
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. 357Please respect copyright.PENANAjI3wqIH48Y
“Hello Ben!” She greeted him with a huge smile. 357Please respect copyright.PENANAISiWQsW7Fd
“Hello Noella, Matthew said you needed help with phone, I’m pretty tech-y so I am ha….” 357Please respect copyright.PENANAmejt15TQac
He was interrupted. 357Please respect copyright.PENANAfZfSsFx14y
“ I don’t want to talk about the phone.” She talked rapidly. 357Please respect copyright.PENANA0wsFJrKc64
“Oh?” 357Please respect copyright.PENANAydaXX39lEd
“Matthew explained dating to me like you said and I think me and you should date!” She said while grinning. 357Please respect copyright.PENANASsKEb5sVCG
“Are you sure?” 357Please respect copyright.PENANAAkGkJ88OxT
“Yes I’m absolutely positively 100% sure!” 357Please respect copyright.PENANAHVSrf7GCW7
“ Do you want to go catch a movie with me this Saturday?” 357Please respect copyright.PENANAHZVLhXnn5K
“YES I WOULD LOVE TO!!” 357Please respect copyright.PENANATbHIknrEBT
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. 357Please respect copyright.PENANAtY8vcdm89Z
357Please respect copyright.PENANAUxnqD2K2uf
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. 357Please respect copyright.PENANAXkijns54CG
“What’s that?” she asked Luke while pointing to the TV. 357Please respect copyright.PENANAsGJWH5Lgtw
“Oh it’s basketball”357Please respect copyright.PENANA3XY3b7ZKgG
“Can anyone play basketball?” 357Please respect copyright.PENANAGGuXDRkZNO
“Yeah, anyone can play, most people don’t end up on TV but all you really need is a hoop and a ball” 357Please respect copyright.PENANADPkb6TgeFE
“ Can I play?” 357Please respect copyright.PENANAFC1wHGlyQc
He hesitated to answer her.357Please respect copyright.PENANAZeX8jkYn5o
“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.” 357Please respect copyright.PENANAC2TgrG6yPf
357Please respect copyright.PENANAZYfF7TzIgt
Also while that was happening….. 357Please respect copyright.PENANAyij1l0upMI
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. 357Please respect copyright.PENANAoGallcV4Pg
“ oh my goodness this is really good” Marie finally made Crystal aware of her presents. 357Please respect copyright.PENANAteifZpMfWV
“Oh I didn’t see you” she mumbled. 357Please respect copyright.PENANABrU0IHDoYQ
“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. 357Please respect copyright.PENANAwCcdKpTclR
“ Yeah that actually sounds nice.” Crystal smiled.357Please respect copyright.PENANAe6GHcZtDHl
This was the first time Marie had seen her smile. 357Please respect copyright.PENANAfSB6OMkK7e
