Crystal made her way downstairs where she saw both her sisters waiting. 276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTjlJGHi5Id
“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. 276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqEPUrwKZRJ
The girls looked very confused. Noella opened her box and revealed a phone, this only made the look of confusion grow stronger. 276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYFZ7oyB1Vn
“ Is something wrong? Do you not like it?” Marie asked worried she bought the wrong thing.276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlIVqOLqVJH
“No I’m sure it’s great but we just don’t know what it is” Answered Charlotte. 276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHJVQ3aGkHO
Marie laughed. She wasn’t being mean, she was mostly laughing at herself. 276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqpJo6MfdWB
“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.”276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG1K9Zt0YRX
“What are texts” questioned Noella. 276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ82PV7tkJ8y
“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. 276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxxezW2IAnP
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8g9EpbA6lV
The next morning……276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkvtIfiGRW7
Matthew was headed downstairs for breakfast when he was stopped by Noella. 276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrXjnWFgXie
“Matthew I need to asked you a few things”276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ46KikmPM7m
“About the phone?”276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUP0g8vnxym
“Yeah but also something else, can we go some where private”276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtlFAyGfXeL
“Umm sure, we can go to my room.” 276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU0e4JywYZ1
They both headed to his room and sat on his bed.276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw0OFn5f7y1
“Ben said you could explain dating to me.” 276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrdNfL8AeV6
Matthew paused. 276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI0hb9zfQXh
“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.” 276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡngoxev9inT
“Can me and Ben date?” 276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡimkvxoc2Ms
“Um I feel like you should be having this conversation with him.” 276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZyWPTFaiGl
“ Where can I find him?” 276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSfbwrAfelb
“ If you’re that anxious to talk to him I can see if he’s free.” 276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTCIyR8EyBj
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. 276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuh3ZgrAC3Z
“Are you free right now?”276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiGhBq4D3kx
“Yeah, why?” 276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVgoJ0k6EIZ
“Do you wanna come over and help Noella set up her phone?” 276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRtoglviCRW
“Wait, did she asks for me? Like specifically me?”276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxkTdmlvTI6
“Are you gonna come or not?” 276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6wEsv9uOKF
“Yes! Tell her I will be there” 276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd7pl4A9Hwy
Matthew hung up and put his phone back in his pocket. Noella was intently waiting in his doorframe. 276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8JpGHDaKqY
“I think he’s on his way” Matthew relayed the message back to her. 276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjRpc8a9q7X
“YES!!” Noella shouted at the top of her lungs. 276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzyEQ3kp0UN
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMXn2jSdJVc
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. 276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNfhWOtOHwK
“Hello Ben!” She greeted him with a huge smile. 276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTT7Q2P9qsL
“Hello Noella, Matthew said you needed help with phone, I’m pretty tech-y so I am ha….” 276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNvj6wioo5e
He was interrupted. 276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKB3Fm7m5oY
“ I don’t want to talk about the phone.” She talked rapidly. 276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnrkhc809bw
“Oh?” 276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAFxaZ3M8cg
“Matthew explained dating to me like you said and I think me and you should date!” She said while grinning. 276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgdjxb1OpM6
“Are you sure?” 276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhsqNDDT2Bv
“Yes I’m absolutely positively 100% sure!” 276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnImxTxKAug
“ Do you want to go catch a movie with me this Saturday?” 276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsJ76khFLTU
“YES I WOULD LOVE TO!!” 276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYqIsLyzp8I
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. 276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ11NMWOHnVc
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQj2dQV9mCt
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. 276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRAbMh9ftKi
“What’s that?” she asked Luke while pointing to the TV. 276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmyPXXvfj7Y
“Oh it’s basketball”276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGv8dclEyf7
“Can anyone play basketball?” 276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHkYPPrpPuy
“Yeah, anyone can play, most people don’t end up on TV but all you really need is a hoop and a ball” 276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRYqIIPcG5F
“ Can I play?” 276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGzAFrEYqOL
He hesitated to answer her.276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjeyQxKfD1F
“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.” 276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGBSo4XG8N8
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDklkTcYrvb
Also while that was happening….. 276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5ZIkc236Er
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. 276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmX3bMb9yMA
“ oh my goodness this is really good” Marie finally made Crystal aware of her presents. 276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWrUTckoZYV
“Oh I didn’t see you” she mumbled. 276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7HOCwJTu0u
“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. 276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY0Qrrr8N1Y
“ Yeah that actually sounds nice.” Crystal smiled.276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtETKTji8EF
This was the first time Marie had seen her smile. 276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhqkUM55f53
