Sydney and Sophia were both carrying their food over to a lunch table in the high school cafeteria. As the two girls sat down, Sophia said, "Okay Syd. Lets start cramming for our exam tomorrow. I am ready to learn as many historical dates and names as possible." Sydney smirked as she said, "And then forget about them once Spring Break starts in two days of course. Although, I hope you don't mind that I asked Olive and Emmy to cram with us." Sophia looked a bit caught off guard as she said, "Oh... um... okay." Sydney looking a bit concerned said, "Sophia, you never seem as excited anymore to do homework or hang out with Olive and Emmy. Is everything okay?" Sophia looked nervous as she said, "Well..." Then suddenly the two girls heard Olive's voice say, "Good morning ladies." Sydney and Sophia turned their heads and saw Olive and Emmy walking towards them with long blue sparkling dresses, diamond necklaces, and necklaces filled with sparking stones.
As Olive and Emmy sat down, a surprised Sydney said, "Whoa. What's up with the fancy outfits? Did I miss the notice on Junior Prom starting a few months earlier than expected?" A smiling Emmy said, "Well Olive wanted to surprise me for my birthday with an amazing new outfit." Then a smiling Olive said, "And I of course wanted to get an equally amazing outfit to match. Quick. Lunch time photo selfie!" Then Olive held out her phone, and took a quick picture of herself and Emmy. As Sydney saw Olive's phone, she said, "Olive... is that a new phone?" Then Olive said, "Yep. Newest model." Then a confused looking Sophia said, "But those are like the most expensive kind. How could you afford it?" Then Olive smirked as she said, "Hey. I have my ways. Now who wants some extra pudding on me!" Emmy got very excited as she raised her hand and said, "I do, I do!" Then Olive got up and said, "Be back in a flash." Then as Olive walked away, Sydney and Sophia looked at each other with troubled faces.
2042:
An adult Sydney was driving a car up to a middle school. As Sydney stopped the car she looked at the school and said, "Ah, Clara Barton Middle School. It only feels like yesterday when my dad first dropped me off here. Okay girls, you ready?" Sydney turned to look at her daughter Alisha in the backseat who was sitting next to Valicity. Alisha then said, "Yep. We got all our stuff mom. See ya." Then as Alisha and Valicity stepped out of the car, Valicity said, "Thank you for driving us to school Sydney." Then as Alisha and Valicity walked towards the school, Alisha said, "That still sounds weird. I'm not used to hearing my mom called by her first name. Why don't you call her 'mom' like I do?" Then Valicity said, "Well she's not my real mom and I'm still just her foster kid." Alisha smirked as she put an arm around Valicity and said, "You've been living with us for three months now Val. You can call her mom whenever you're ready." Then as Alisha and Valicity walked into the school together, an older boy approached Alisha as he said, "Hey 'Lisha. Looking forward to seeing you this afternoon." Alisha made a big smile as she said, "Looking forward to it." Then as the older boy walked away, a confused looking Valicity said, "What was that about? Your parents are both working this afternoon, which means we're both gonna head straight home after school and not have guests over." Then Alisha said, "Oh, I know." Then a still confused Valicity said, "So... what did that guy mean when..." Then Alisha looking a bit annoyed said, "Don't worry about it Val. It's no big deal." Valicity then chose to remain silent, but had a look of great concern on her face now.
1995:
One Saturday night, Max and Leo walked into a classmates' house. It was their very first high school party not at school and also their first party with no adults around. As Leo looked around he felt amazed.
"Whoa Max. Our first real high school party. This is gonna be amazing."
Leo then noticed Max was looking upset. Leo then put a hand on his best friend's arm.
"Max, you gotta take your mind off Alisha for one night. She's at home with her mom and her older sister. They're helping her. Her loss doesn't have to bring you down."
Max then looked at Leo with frustration in his eyes.
"But that's the thing Leo. It wasn't just her loss. I.. ugh. I'm sorry I just snapped."
"It's cool man. Like I said. You just need to unwind for awhile."
Suddenly a varsity football player handed Max and Leo each a red cup to drink from.
"Cheers man." He raised his glass and walked away before Max and Leo took a drink of the unknown liquid.
Both quickly spit it back into the cups not liking what was inside.
"Is this beer?" Leo said with disgust.
Suddenly one of the female varsity cheerleaders noticed and she came up to the two young teens.
"Don't like your drink?" the cheerleader asked.
"No, not all. But does this party have like soda or something?" Leo asked.
"Well I can see if I can get you some ice tea."
"Yeah, tea will be great."
She smiled and soon left. As Max and Leo began to talk a bit, Max noticed a girl standing on the other side of the room. For a moment, Max found himself starring at who appeared to be Alisha standing on the other side of the room. However the distraction caused Max to drink from his cup not realizing he was doing it. The taste of beer this time did not bother him as he was too distracted watching the girl on the other side of the room. After Leo was done talking to the cheerleader, he noticed the girl Max was looking at.
"I can't believe Alisha is here Leo."
"What do you mean? Where is she?"
"Over there by the photos."
"I'm sorry Max, but that's not Alisha. That girl is in my English class though. Her name is Cassidy I believe. But yeah, she does kind of look like Alisha."
Max suddenly felt guilty for starring at a girl that was not who he thought she was. He wasn't sure if his thought processing was hurt by recent events, or if maybe the alcohol he had drunk was messing with him. However Max felt himself continuing to stare at this girl named Cassidy. He then noticed her holding hands with a boy next to her and then began to kiss him. Max couldn't help but wish it was him and Alisha doing that right now. He began to fantasize about coming into Alisha's room that minute, and just holding her and comforting her in an attempt to heal her broken heart. The long dwelling of this fantasy caused Max to unknowingly take another sip of the beer in his hand.
PRESENT DAY:
Sydney and Sophia were sitting with Harry at the bike shop as they sipped on smoothies and talked with one another. As they talked, Sydney said, "I'm just a little confused on how Olive got the money to afford all her stuff. I mean growing up, she always complained about how she had very little stuff, since her brothers hogged so much." Then Sophia said, "Well, could she have just put a lot of money in savings for a rainy day or something? That's what my brother often does." Then Sophia heard a voice say, "Someone say my name?" Then Sophia turned her head, and saw her older brother Dylan step into the bike shop. An excited Sophia then jumped up and ran over to Dylan as she yelled, "Dylan!" Sophia and Dylan hugged each other as Dylan said, "Hey sis." Sophia then looked at Dylan as she said, "What are you doing here?" Then Dylan said, "Hey. I told you I'd visit you for Spring Break, and I meant it." Then as Sophia led Dylan over to the table where Sydney and Harry were, Sophia said, "Well anyway, you know Sydney. But this is her boyfriend Harry. Harry, this is my brother Dylan." Harry waved and said, "Hey. Good to meet you." Then as Dylan sat with the three he said, "Well sorry if I was interrupting an important conversation." Then Sophia said, "It's nothing. Our friend Olive just suddenly bought a bunch of expensive stuff, and we don't know how." Then a reluctant looking Harry said, "Well, if we are bringing up off behavior... I did see Olive doing something the other day that was... weird." A concerned looking Sydney then said, "What do you mean by weird?"
Then Harry looking reluctant, pulled out his phone and showed some pictures as he said, "The other day near the grocery store, I saw Olive handing a backpack that wasn't hers to this... guy in sunglasses. Then he handed her an envelope." Then Sydney said, "Well that could be nothing." Then Dylan said, "Or it could be drug dealing." Sydney's eyes widened and in a panic she said, "What!?" Then Dylan said, "It's something I sadly see around my dorm at college. Drug deals around there always happen near stores or street corners, and they usually involve discrete exchanges of bags or backpacks." Then Sydney looking very worried said, "But... Olive doesn't do drugs. We... we go running together in gym class every day, and she never breaks a sweat anymore." Then Dylan said, "Didn't say she was doing drugs. She's probably just handing the stuff off between the supplier and street distributor. Odds are she got selected and paid well for the work because no cop is gonna suspect a pretty freshmen girl for drug dealing." Then Sydney looking like she was in shock now said, "But... Olive doesn't do bad stuff like that. I mean... she's Olive." Then Sophia said, "But this would explain how she suddenly got a bunch of new stuff." Then Sydney looking angry said, "No. I've known Olive longer than any of you! You're all wrong!" Then Harry looked at Sydney and said, "Sydney... we have to at least look into the possibility. Look... how about we just ask Olive ourselves. Okay?" Sydney then closed her eyes, took a deep breath, opened her eyes and said, "Okay."
2042:
Valicity was walking down the hallway of her home as she saw Alisha walking towards her bathroom with a towel in her hands. A confused looking Valicity then said, "Alisha, are you about to take a shower?" Alisha then said, "Yeah, and do some make up." A still confused looking Valicity then said, "Why? It's Friday afternoon and we're not going anywhere tomorrow." Alisha looking slightly annoyed then said, "I'm doing it because I feel like it. Okay?" Then Alisha headed into the bathroom. Valicity with a look of concern then headed into Alisha's bedroom, and saw Alisha's phone sitting on her dresser. Valicity then turned on the phone and began to look through several apps on it. Then Valicity's eyes suddenly widened as she opened the photo app. Right before Valicity's eyes were several pictures of Alisha standing in her bedroom completely naked. The pictures consisted of shots of Alisha standing up straight, bent down on the floor, with her legs spread out close to the camera, and many of her turned around with her butt at center focus while her head was turned to the side with a big smile. Then suddenly Valicity heard an angry Alisha yell, "What are you doing!?"
Valicity turned her head and saw Alisha standing at the doorway of the room looking angry. Valicity then holding the phone out, with an upset face said, "What are you doing Alisha?" Then Alisha stepped towards Valicity and said, "Just getting my brush I forgot. Now hand me my phone. That's private, and none of your business." Then Valicity stepped back and held the phone up as she said, "Well it's my business now Alisha. Why did you take photos of yourself like this? Did someone make you do it?" Alisha looking annoyed said, "No one made me do it. There's just a boy in 8th grade named Andrew who really likes me, and he said he'd really like to see some hot nude pics of me. And so I decided to make some. I haven't sent him any yet. The pics on my phone there were just for practice before I put on my make up and take the real ones. Now give me my phone and let me make my own decisions in life."
Then Valicity stepped back holding the phone away from Alisha as she said, "I can't let you do this Alisha. You think this Andrew guy really likes you? Any guy that asks for naked pictures or videos of you doesn't really like you. He's just using you." Then an annoyed Alisha said, "And how would you know?" Then an angry looking Valicity said, "I don't, but my mom did!" A confused looking Alisha then said, "What?" With a sad face, Valicity then said, "When... when she was still alive, my mom... to make money... took pictures and videos of herself naked and sold them to people on the internet. She didn't think I knew what she was up to, but I was very capable of peeking through the door and seeing what she was doing. She also... oh God... she also... had sex with men for money as well. I pretty much figured it out because I saw the messages she was having with men on her phone and computer when she wasn't watching. And so many times, she would go to guys' homes thinking that after the chats they had and the nude pictures she sent them, they would become a real couple. I could tell because she always 'went out' often with a big smile on her face... but always came back home looking more sad than before."
Then Alisha sighed and said, "I'm sorry about what happened to your mom. But I'm not trying to be a prostitute Val. Andrew loves me, and I'm just showing I love him back!" Then Valicity with a very angry look squeezed the phone and said, "No Alisha. Sending naked pictures of yourself to someone you barely know isn't love. Your mom and dad, the way they know what the other is thinking, and the way they support each other when they're each having a bad day: that's love. Your Grandpa Max and Grandma Angela; the way they listen to one another and make the other laugh: that's love. But what you think you have with Andrew... I'm sorry, but I can't let it continue!" Then Valicity threw Alisha's phone hard to the ground and stepped on it, breaking it into many pieces. Alisha's face then became incredibly angry as she said, "What the heck did you do that for!? You ruined everything I had with Andrew. I hate you!" Then Alisha stormed out of the room, as Valicity stood still with tears appearing in her eyes.
1995:
"Here you go cutey. Some Long Island Ice Tea." a varsity cheerleader said as she handed Leo a drink.
"Thank you." Leo said as he smiled at the varsity cheerleader and started to take a drink.
Leo quickly smiled, enjoying the taste of the drink.
"Wow, this is the best ice tea I ever had."
"I know. Those are just the best." the cheerleader said as she smiled and then took a sip of her drink.
Leo enjoyed the ice tea so much that he drank it a bit too fast. When he looked up, the cheerleader was nowhere to be seen; so he went to find the kitchen for another cup. Meanwhile Max realized he finished the cup of beer that he hated that it was offered to him the first place. He then thought maybe beer wasn't that bad. He did feel himself starting to not feel as bad as when he first came into the party. Max then walked over to a beer keg as an older teen approached him.
"Top you off?" The older teen smiled.
"Say what now?"
"You want me to refill your cup. The tap is a little iffy."
"Oh um, yeah. Okay."
The two walked to the keg and the older teen filled up Max's cup and gave it to him.
"Here you go man."
"Yeah, thanks."
The older teen nodded and walked away. Max took a sip and once he swallowed it, he realized he did not like it at all, and then dumped all of the remaining beer on the grass. While all that was going on, Leo had already drank three cups of the strange new drink he was enjoying and was on his fourth cup. Leo for one felt all warm inside, which put a smile on his face, even if his mind was spinning. When he did finish his fourth cup, he started to stack the empty beer cans into a pyramid shape. Every so often a jock would see what Leo was doing and pat him on the back thinking he had drank all those. Max soon came back from outside and spotted Leo with a smile on his face drinking something. He looked at the cans of beer and knew there was no way Leo drank all those. As he got closer to Leo, he knew something was wrong as Leo was not acting like himself. Max set the cup down and went closer to his best friend.
"Um Leo, are you okay?"
"Yeah I'm great. I just been drinking some really good ice tea. See." Leo pointing to an almost empty pitcher of the drink. "Oh man. It's almost gone." Leo then started to giggle.
"Um yeah bud, that's too bad."
Max now knew something was really up with his friend. He knew he had to find help but at the same time he wasn't sure if he should leave Leo behind as something could happen to him.
"Hey bud. Let's go outside and get some air."
"But I want more of that tea Max."
"Well why don't we go outside and I will make you some."
"Yeah. That's a great idea Max. You're the best."
Once outside, Leo looked up and laughed.
"Look at all those stars. You know I'm up there somewhere. I think I am over there." Leo said as he pointed at some stars.
"That's great Leo. Now sit here while I make you some ice tea."
Leo just smiled and gave Max a thumbs up.
"You got it dude."
Max made his way back inside the house looking for someone he thought could help him with Leo. Suddenly the party goers heard sirens. This caused everyone to panic and run to escape from the party. Max just looked at everyone running as he went back to Leo. As for Leo, he put his hands in the air and moved them side to side.
"This is my jam Max. Oh by the way; where is my iced tea?"
"Leo, we gotta get out of here now!"
As the two began to move, Max only made a few steps before he suddenly realized that Leo and himself were in trouble.
PRESENT DAY:
Olive was walking with a backpack on her back as she slowly walked through the park. Olive was glancing to her left and right as she walked when suddenly she heard Sydney's voice yell, "Olive!" Olive turned her head and saw Sydney, Sophia, and Harry approach her. Olive looking a little nervous said, "Oh hey guys. Watcha doing here?" Then Sophia with an angry tone said, "We're here to stop you from your drug dealing. Yes, we know that's what you're doing. My brother called some old high school friends of his, and they told him this area of the park has been a prime place for that lately." Olive looking very nervous and caught off guard said, "What!? But... I... I..." Then Harry looking more sympathetic said, "Now, we don't have all the facts though. Look Olive. How about we just talk about what's been going on lately, and telling us what you got in the bag there." Olive stepped back as she said, "Nothing." Then Harry said, "Then show us." Then Olive took another step back and said, "No!" Then tears appeared in Sydney's eyes as she said, "Oh my God. It's true. Olive... how could you!?" Then Olive looked at Sydney and with anger in her voice as she said, "Oh, come on Sydney. You think I'm stupid enough to do drugs!?" Then Sophia said, "But dealing with them is still the wrong thing to do." Then Olive looking upset said, "You know what's really wrong? How about the fact that both of my parents are divorced, and two single parents trying to pay for two separate homes means there's no money left for me to have anything anymore. Do you know what it's like to be in high school and date someone, and have no money!? It's the worst. I mean every time me and Emmy go out to eat, she pays for every meal. And I mean every meal. I can't let her do that. I love her, and I wanna show her how much she means to me."
Then Sophia stepped forward and said, "But how would Emmy feel if she knew how you were buying her new stuff?" Then Olive looked at Sophia and bitterly said, "Well you wouldn't know. You barely spend any time around me and Emmy anymore. Admit it Sophia. Deep down, you hate me and Emmy for loving each other." Then Sydney stepped forward and said "This isn't about your relationship with Emmy. Olive, this is about your life, and... it's about the lives of others too. You know what street drugs do to people. You know better Olive. You're a talented and kind person. Do you think this thing you're doing is why you were put on this planet? Do you think this is the purpose you were made for?" Then Olive looked at a loss for words, as tears suddenly appeared in her eyes. Olive then turned her back to her friends and said, "Sydney... I... I'm sorry." Then Olive ran away as Sydney reached out and said, "Olive, no..." Then Sydney suddenly began to cry as she pushed her head against Harry's chest. Harry then held a crying Sydney, as Sophia stood also upset as she watched Olive run away.
2042:
Valicity sat in her bedroom reading a book when Alisha stepped in and gently knocked on the door. As Valicity turned to look at her, Alisha said, "Hey... mind if I come in?" Valicity put her book down as she said, "It's cool with me. So... what's up?" Alisha sighed and said, "I heard at school today that... Andrew got in trouble with the police because... he had been asking several other girls at school for nude pictures of them. Andrew is in bigger trouble, but it looks like the other girls that send him nude photos... they're gonna be in trouble too. And... I could've been one of those girls if you hadn't stopped me the other day. So... thank you." Then Valicity said, "You're welcome. Sorry for breaking your phone though." Alisha then sat next to Valicity and said, "No. I deserved it. I was thinking with my feelings, instead of my brain... and listening to my sisters' heart."
Valicity looked down and said, "I'm still sorry I got mad at you Alisha. It's just... I saw how jumping into making inappropriate media and having sex too early in a relationship screwed up my mom. I mean I guess some people in the adult entertainment industry out there can somehow separate their feelings from their work. But first, neither of us are adults yet. And second... you deserve someone better Alisha. You deserve someone who will love you the way your dad loves your mom, and the way your Grandpa Max loves your Grandma Angela. But remember, they all told you their relationships took time before they became serious. So... I hope you take some time too."
Alisha sighed, and then nodded her head as she said, "Okay." Then Alisha got up and stepped out of the room. However right before Alisha was all the way out of the room, Valicity said, "Wait. Just now... you referred to me as your sister." Alisha then looked back at Valicity and said, "Well you've been living with us for months now, and... I love you like a sister, so... yeah." Valicity then stood up and said, "I love you like a sister too." Then suddenly tears appeared in both girls' eyes as they approached each other and hugged.
1995:
Max's mother Judy walked into a police station. She approached a desk and saw a police officer was waiting to speak with her.
"Hi. I'm Judy Reynolds. You guys called about my son Max. Is he okay? What happened?"
"Well m'am, your son and his friend were at a party that had alcohol."
"Wait, what? This is the first time I'm hearing about some party."
"I'm sorry that you had to find out this way. One of my fellow officers caught him helping carry out his friend Leo who obviously was drunk."
"Leo drank alcohol!? What about my son Max? Did he drink too?" Judy was getting more upset now.
"Well Miss Reynolds, based on what your son Max said, Leo seemed to be put under the impression that the alcohol he drank was simply iced tea."
"Oh my God. Well what happens now?"
"Well the homeowners will be responsible for allowing this to happen, and unfortunately the kids as well to an extant. However I am willing to only give out a warning to Max and Leo since this is their first offense, and also because they seemed to be genuinely misled as to what type of drinks were being offered to them in the first place. Not the first teens I've encountered that didn't know what was really in a Long Island Ice Tea."
"Thank you so much officer. I will make sure the two of them learn their lesson."
"Well Miss Reynolds, I'm going to release your son into your custody and his friend as well since I do think this was all a misunderstanding."
"Thank you officer."
Within minutes, both Max and Leo came out of a room and approached Judy with guilty looks on their faces. The three got into Judy's car, but Judy didn't start the vehicle as she wanted to immediately talk to the two boys.
"Look... I know you two. I don't think either of you was willingly trying to get drunk tonight; especially since I know you're both stupid enough to be tricked by older high school kids."
Max looked relieved as he looked at his mom.
"Thanks mom for understanding that..."
"BUT THAT IS NO EXCUSE!" Judy yelled as she cut off her son. "Being naive and just blindly following the crowd and taking anything offered to you isn't gonna cut it! You're not kids anymore! The world is a dangerous place. Didn't what happen to Alisha teach you two anything!? What, did you two think only girls can be manipulated? You both need to be more careful about drinking unknown things people offer you, you need to know more about a strangers' home before you even considering entering it, and you need to guard yourself from any person or any thing that can influence you in a negative way!"
Leo tilted his face down as far as he could as he tried speaking to Judy.
"You're not gonna tell my parents are you Ms. Reynolds?"
"No Leo... because you're going to tell them. And if you don't, you know you're in for a far worse punishment when I eventually tell them myself."
Max then looked at his mom with a sad face.
"Mom, we're sorry. Leo just took me to that party because... I've been feeling so down the last two weeks after Alisha... you know..."
Judy then switched her face to a more sympathetic one.
"Max... I know you're hurting still. And yes, there does come a point in the recovery process where you gotta go out and try to have some fun. But maybe we need to spend a little more time just at home talking as a family first before you go out and have fun again."
"Thanks mom... Wait. This is also code for saying I'm grounded, isn't it?"
"You better believe it Max. But before I send you to your room when we get home... lets call Maya and see how Alisha is doing."
PRESENT DAY:
Sydney and Harry were both sitting on a park bench in the afternoon as Harry said, "So... you heard back from Olive?" Sydney sighed and said, "No. Harry... I'm worried." Then from nearby Sophia walked over to the two and said, "Hey. Mind if I sit with you two?" Sydney made a small smile as she said, "The company would be appreciated." Then as Sophia sat down she said, "You still worried about Olive?" Then Sydney said, "Constantly." Then Sophia said, "Well if you want, my mom is a lawyer. Maybe she could help us." Then suddenly the three heard Olive's voice say, "She already has." Then the three turned their heads and saw Olive and Emmy walking towards them. Sydney looked surprised as she said, "Olive!" Olive made a small smile as she said, "Your mom is awesome by the way Sophia. I talked to her about what I was doing, and she said if I tell the police everything I know about the drug trade operation I got mixed into, no charges will be pressed against me. She was honestly very persuasive with the district attorney about keeping me out of trouble." Then Sydney with a smile said, "But what made you change your mind?" Then Emmy said, "When Harry called me and told me what Olive was doing." Sydney looked at Harry as she said, "Harry, you..." Harry smiled and said, "Olive's your best friend Syd. I would've called every person on the planet if it meant finding someone to help her. Luckily, I figured I only had to call just one person." Olive then held Emmy's hand as she said, "Me and Emmy talked about it, and... we both realized we could never have a happy life, if it meant dealing in something that causes harm to others." Then Emmy said, "And I told Olive that even if she's dirt poor for the rest of her life, as long as she is attentive, caring, and loyal, I will love her forever."
Sydney then stood up and said, "Olive... I'm so proud of you." Then Sydney immediately hugged Olive. Olive hugged Sydney back and said, "Hey. You were looking out for me like a sister. And sisters stick together." Then Olive stepped away from Sydney, and towards Sophia as she said, "Sophia, I'm sorry I snapped at you. I know you, me, and Emmy haven't hung out much this year. And that's kind of been on me. Neither of us have invited you to our homes, or even suggested we do a sleepover together. So... if you want to give our friendship a refresh, we'd be more than willing to give it one with you." Sophia sighed and then looked down as she said, "I'm glad you're doing better now, but... Olive, Emmy... I care about you both. I really do. But the two of you dating... it just... something about it just makes me feel... Ugh, I'm sorry, but... I gotta go." Then Sophia got up and began to walk away. Sydney then rushed towards Sophia, and stopped her as she said, "Sophia. Don't do this to our group. We're the Four Amigas. We have to stick together." Then Sophia looked at Sydney as she said, "I know Syd, but... so much has changed, and... the way Emmy and Olive have changed... I'm sorry, but I... I gotta go home!" Sophia then quickly walked away from everyone.
Sophia then soon reached the door of her home looking upset as she stepped inside. Then as Sophia climbed the stairs to the second floor to her house, she softly said to herself, "Ugh. What's happening to the world around me?" Then Sophia went over to her brother Dylan's room and knocked on the door as she said, "Dylan, you decent?" Hearing no answer, Sophia opened the door and peered in as she said, "So, you upset, I... oh, you're not here." Then Sophia saw an iPad that was turned on sitting on Dylan's bed. Sophia then saw on the iPad was a dating website and saw the main page that was open was Dylan's dating profile. The first thing that caught Sophia's eye was Dylan's name and picture. But then the next thing Sophia noticed made her eyes widen. There in bright bold font under Dylan's name, Sophia saw the words: "Male Seeking Male". Sophia's face then became one of complete shock as she dropped the iPad.
