Crystal made her way downstairs where she saw both her sisters waiting. 296Please respect copyright.PENANAHeBwOf1RAd
“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. 296Please respect copyright.PENANA6cCtU39jFL
The girls looked very confused. Noella opened her box and revealed a phone, this only made the look of confusion grow stronger. 296Please respect copyright.PENANANtb8pzHgTy
“ Is something wrong? Do you not like it?” Marie asked worried she bought the wrong thing.296Please respect copyright.PENANAama9lZq4Du
“No I’m sure it’s great but we just don’t know what it is” Answered Charlotte. 296Please respect copyright.PENANABckZssn8QN
Marie laughed. She wasn’t being mean, she was mostly laughing at herself. 296Please respect copyright.PENANADOWlaRNIMs
“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.”296Please respect copyright.PENANAgFF9JqaRD7
“What are texts” questioned Noella. 296Please respect copyright.PENANAYOpYN80Voq
“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. 296Please respect copyright.PENANAvGwJ6Ep1WR
296Please respect copyright.PENANAVL4DGwgWwz
The next morning……296Please respect copyright.PENANA6z6rJrblaq
Matthew was headed downstairs for breakfast when he was stopped by Noella. 296Please respect copyright.PENANAo7uypFf3G8
“Matthew I need to asked you a few things”296Please respect copyright.PENANAb0WUt7Y53j
“About the phone?”296Please respect copyright.PENANAIKz8YtN7j8
“Yeah but also something else, can we go some where private”296Please respect copyright.PENANA1UELRtZMlc
“Umm sure, we can go to my room.” 296Please respect copyright.PENANAnoLuD9pnBM
They both headed to his room and sat on his bed.296Please respect copyright.PENANABJt8SXDn31
“Ben said you could explain dating to me.” 296Please respect copyright.PENANAgiyTqVOpNm
Matthew paused. 296Please respect copyright.PENANAwHh6wSqagz
“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.” 296Please respect copyright.PENANABWW4bbrMi1
“Can me and Ben date?” 296Please respect copyright.PENANAiKLDMfmkr9
“Um I feel like you should be having this conversation with him.” 296Please respect copyright.PENANA4bCaGbhhkF
“ Where can I find him?” 296Please respect copyright.PENANAjDIJ5nnhlO
“ If you’re that anxious to talk to him I can see if he’s free.” 296Please respect copyright.PENANAiVwWHihxvp
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. 296Please respect copyright.PENANAi18AlSUy4k
“Are you free right now?”296Please respect copyright.PENANASZ61dCwtPe
“Yeah, why?” 296Please respect copyright.PENANARyrFCd6DZm
“Do you wanna come over and help Noella set up her phone?” 296Please respect copyright.PENANAnGbovwVJ03
“Wait, did she asks for me? Like specifically me?”296Please respect copyright.PENANA1JtezAfL4K
“Are you gonna come or not?” 296Please respect copyright.PENANAeUcABczmYV
“Yes! Tell her I will be there” 296Please respect copyright.PENANAoJ7mra92VK
Matthew hung up and put his phone back in his pocket. Noella was intently waiting in his doorframe. 296Please respect copyright.PENANAaio910B9XG
“I think he’s on his way” Matthew relayed the message back to her. 296Please respect copyright.PENANAi6Db4RxYvU
“YES!!” Noella shouted at the top of her lungs. 296Please respect copyright.PENANAgZ5XptUBHd
296Please respect copyright.PENANAlMTL3qqE7h
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. 296Please respect copyright.PENANAwBv08OwZk1
“Hello Ben!” She greeted him with a huge smile. 296Please respect copyright.PENANArR1xsuGk1q
“Hello Noella, Matthew said you needed help with phone, I’m pretty tech-y so I am ha….” 296Please respect copyright.PENANAxXvEbVdCsQ
He was interrupted. 296Please respect copyright.PENANAXM77egsnfj
“ I don’t want to talk about the phone.” She talked rapidly. 296Please respect copyright.PENANAHzCnSNrMGE
“Oh?” 296Please respect copyright.PENANAOYwUEA65sh
“Matthew explained dating to me like you said and I think me and you should date!” She said while grinning. 296Please respect copyright.PENANA1HFATf6M2J
“Are you sure?” 296Please respect copyright.PENANAZYeBZ7r8MO
“Yes I’m absolutely positively 100% sure!” 296Please respect copyright.PENANAJIomz1Vbh3
“ Do you want to go catch a movie with me this Saturday?” 296Please respect copyright.PENANAi6yFXZEuDd
“YES I WOULD LOVE TO!!” 296Please respect copyright.PENANAHwiBOi31Oj
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. 296Please respect copyright.PENANAjWVwUtkKTV
296Please respect copyright.PENANAfGMGHZnQpi
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. 296Please respect copyright.PENANAmJhhjTAOyG
“What’s that?” she asked Luke while pointing to the TV. 296Please respect copyright.PENANAwM2kyQB4cg
“Oh it’s basketball”296Please respect copyright.PENANAL6fFGUOXS5
“Can anyone play basketball?” 296Please respect copyright.PENANAcTG64HTyK2
“Yeah, anyone can play, most people don’t end up on TV but all you really need is a hoop and a ball” 296Please respect copyright.PENANAQBDkz9z9xM
“ Can I play?” 296Please respect copyright.PENANAz3rudMhyRa
He hesitated to answer her.296Please respect copyright.PENANANHyvYiXxxJ
“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.” 296Please respect copyright.PENANAb3BBZSDz4c
296Please respect copyright.PENANACIeUte1UBZ
Also while that was happening….. 296Please respect copyright.PENANAN3zQjAbkbD
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. 296Please respect copyright.PENANA7cMvfjlvua
“ oh my goodness this is really good” Marie finally made Crystal aware of her presents. 296Please respect copyright.PENANAcZ2L35Dehs
“Oh I didn’t see you” she mumbled. 296Please respect copyright.PENANAJVDC533DLi
“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. 296Please respect copyright.PENANAde92bDElFK
“ Yeah that actually sounds nice.” Crystal smiled.296Please respect copyright.PENANAHh2tlhpR5O
This was the first time Marie had seen her smile. 296Please respect copyright.PENANAiYlEdQUptF
