Written By: "Fun But Shy Girl", Based on Ideas from: JoshFics and DrDoom2006, Based on Characters Created by: Mark Reisman

Sydney and Harry were both standing in the high school hallway smiling as a young photographer took a picture of them. As the photographer briefly showed the two the picture they just took on their phone, Harry said, "Wow Syd. You look great on camera. This is gonna look great for your campaign posters." As the photographer walked away, Sydney looked at Harry as she said, "Yeah. Running for class president was a pretty cool idea." Then a tall blonde girl walked down the hallway and approached Sydney as she said, "So totally not a cool idea! Why the hell are you even running for school president Reynolds!? Everyone knows I'm the most popular girl in this school." Sydney remaining calm said, "Look Valerie. I respect you for running. You're trying to take action, which is more than what most people our age do. But I'm running not to be more popular, but to bring a light to issues this school is facing, and build up my college application." The blonde girl Valerie then looking angry said, "Cute, but if you're gonna mess with me, you better prepare to fight dirty. I got connections on the dark web, so you better watch out." Valerie then walked away making angry grunts, as Harry held Sydney's hand and said, "Don't mind her Sydney. You're a good person. It's not like anyone has anything dirty on you." Then Sydney looked away as she had a worried look on her face.

12 Months Ago:

Sydney and Harry were both sitting on a bench near the lake in the park, as an older male teenage photographer took a picture of the two. As the teenager showed Sydney and Harry the pics he took he said, "And there you go." Harry then handed some money to the older teenager as he said, "Thanks Tony. These look great." An excited Sydney then said, "Yeah. You and me look so adorable together for our one month anniversary." Then the older teenager Tony said, "Well you both definitely do. You know I have an internship at this modeling agency downtown, and they're always looking for new models. You both should join." Then Harry said, "Eh, that's not really my thing." Then Sydney said, "Yeah, and I've already had bad luck going down the online modeling path before." Then Tony said, "Oh, well you only have to wear what you feel comfortable wearing for this agency. And it doesn't have to be in a studio. Everything's done remotely if you want. You can just wear stuff you like, and we can do it out here in the park or at your home." Sydney then looked at Harry, as Harry said, "Hey. Do whatever makes you happy Syd." Sydney then looked at Tony as she said, "Okay Tony. I'm in."

Present Day:

Sydney was standing in her room in front of Sophia who was sitting in a chair facing her. Sydney then looked towards Sophia as she said, "And so with that, I'd like my peers to remember, we are all still peers. I'm not here to stand over you. I'm here to stand with you as we improve our amazing school." Sophia then clapped as she said, "Awesome Sydney. You are going to totally win this election." Sydney then said, "Thanks. I am still a little intimidated by Valerie though. She is popular and has connections." Then Sophia said, "Yeah. But when they hear your voice against hers, it'll be completely obvious who the better person is within seconds. Anyway, I should head to bed now. Good night." As Sophia headed out of the room, Sydney smiled as she said, "Night sis." Then Sydney heard a beeping sound on her computer. Sydney opened her e-mail, and then saw a message from an unknown messenger that said, "Drop out, or the pictures go public." Sydney then began to breathe deeply in an out, but then stopped and said, "No. It's just some random creep who's making a false threat. They don't know. No one knows."

11 Months Ago:

Sydney was standing in the park near the lake wearing a white t-shirt and pink skirt while smiling as Tony took pictures of her. Tony then said, "Great Syd. Not only are we gonna make some good money from this, this'll really help me with my photography portfolio while applying to colleges." Sydney then said, "Cool. So we got anymore outfits for me to try?" Tony then said, "Only some swimsuits if you wanna try them on." Sydney then raised an eyebrow as she said, "Swimsuits this time of year?" Then Tony said, "Hey. You gotta get the pictures and the ads ready months in advance." Sydney then grabbed the swimsuits as she said, "Well... I guess it wouldn't be hard to try a few." Sydney then headed into a nearby small bathroom and began to change. As she changed, Tony stood outside but called out to Sydney as he said, "You got any ideas for colleges you're heading to?" As Sydney changed, she said, "Well I know it's less than a year away for you, but it's still over three for me. So I just thought it didn't matter to think about now." Tony then said, "Well you should. Plus, building a good portfolio now will help you look good to colleges later on." Then Sydney stepped out of the bathroom wearing a blue bikini set. The blue top was strapless and showed plenty of her cleavage in the middle, while the blue bikini bottom exposed most of her butt cheeks in the back. As Tony looked at Sydney he said, "Wow. Well... you're already looking good now."

Sydney looking embarrassed said, "Really? I kind of feel silly wearing this." Then Tony said, "No. I mean... any ad with you looking like this is really gonna turn some heads. So um... you wanna do this right by the water?" Sydney nodded and said, "Sure." Sydney then stood near the lake smiling. As Tony took pictures he said, "Now lets get a few of you on your knees. And a few of you bending over. Now lets get a few of you with your back turned." As Sydney turned her back to Tony, she still turned her head to look at the camera while giggling as she said, "Wow. This is fun. Any other poses?" Then Tony said, "Whatever you want now." Then Sydney said, "How about if I start grabbing my butt like this?" Then Sydney put her hands on her butt cheeks and began to squeeze them. Tony laughed a bit as he took pictures of what Sydney was doing. Sydney then laughed too as she said, "Okay. Don't share those." Tony chuckled as he said, "Don't worry Sydney. It'll be our secret."

Present Day:

Sydney and Harry were holding hands walking down the high school hallway as Harry said, "Well here we go. Debate day. You nervous?" Sydney with a nervous smile said, "Yeah. But I think something would be wrong with me if I wasn't nervous." Then the two teenagers heard beeps on their phone. A curious Harry then said, "What could that be?" Sydney then said, "Ignore it. We're only focusing on the debate for now." Then the two teenagers heard beeping sounds on everyone else's phones around them. Sydney and Harry then noticed every teenager in the hallway looking at their phone, and then making long stares at Sydney. Harry looking confused said, "Sydney, what's going on?" Tears began to appeared in Sydney's eyes as she looked at Harry and said, "Harry. I... I'm so, so sorry."

10 Months Ago:

Sydney sat on her bed in just her white underwear with her phone in her hand as she said, "So did you get those pics I took of myself in that green dress? It just came in and I just had to try it on." On the other end of her phone, Sydney heard Tony say, "You looked great in it Syd. Can't wait to take pictures of you wearing that in the park tomorrow." Then Sydney began to cross her legs as she said, "And what did you think of those... bikini photos I sent you? You think those will look nice as I wear them by the lake tomorrow?" Then Tony said, "Honestly... you looked so incredibly hot in those bikinis Sydney. Although as nice a back drop as the lake will be, seeing you wear those in your bedroom made you look way hotter. Regardless, your body looks great in anything Syd. Harry must consider himself a lucky guy when you two are in bed together." Sydney made a small sigh and said, "Me and Harry haven't done it yet, and we're not planning to for a long time. We both agreed it was best that way." Then Tony said, "Well you sure are missing out. Exploring your sexuality is a wonderful thing."

Then Sydney took a deep breath and then said, "Well... if you were exploring it with a girl like me... how would you do it?" Then Tony said, "Well... it would first depend on what you're wearing when you go to bed?" Sydney then looked in a nearby mirror she had standing near her bed. Sydney then took a long breath, and then using the mirror took a picture of herself laying on her side smiling in just her white underwear. Then Sydney send the picture to Tony with the caption: "Something like this." After a few seconds, Sydney heard Tony gasp as he said, "Wow Sydney. Just wow. Well... as hot as you look like that... I would gently peel those little white things off your body. It would start by me slowly moving my hands on your shoulders and then take off that back hook. Then I would gently remove those panties by sliding them oh so gently down your legs." Then Sydney grinned as she said, "What about what you're wearing?" Then Tony said, "Oh, my clothes would've disappeared from me in under two seconds once I saw you in bed. I'd then immediately get on top of you and... well... what would you like to do to me?" Sydney then grinned as she said, "Well..."

Present Day:

Sydney sat in the passenger's seat of her father's car, as her father Max sat in the driver's seat driving the car. Max looked upset as Sydney looked very sad. Max then made a deep breath and said, "You're lucky the police didn't come pounding on my door for this Sydney. Those photos you sent are borderline child pornography. And you did it in my home. I could be charged with parental negligence. Then you wouldn't have me around, and the baby when it's born would have to grow up without a father. Is that what you wanted Sydney!?" Sydney with tears in her eyes said, "No dad. I wasn't thinking. I'm sorry." Max then held his hand out and said, "I almost forgot. Phone. Now!" Then Sydney said, "But it happened months ago dad. I haven't done it since..." Max then angerly yelled, "PHONE! NOW!" Sydney then handed Max her phone and began to sob. Max then pulled the car over and stopped, so he could look at Sydney. Max then sad, "Look Sydney... your phone may be gone for the foreseeable future, but my love for you will not. We're gonna work through this. You can talk to Angela about what happened, Grandma Judy, Grandma Maya, any therapist you want, and me. But... I think you're gonna have to talk to Harry about this sooner than later." Sydney nodded her head and said, "I know dad... I know..."

2 Months Ago:

Sydney laid on her bed holding her phone in her hand as she browsed through several photos of herself. Some pictures were of her wearing bikinis in her room. Other pictures included herself wearing various sorts of underwear on her body. Other pictures however were of Sydney naked with only a few pillows covering her private regions. Then there were also pictures of Sydney in the bathroom wearing just a towel, while other pictures featured Sydney wet in the shower with only a wet towel around her body. Sydney then deleted all the photos as she had tears in her eyes. Sydney then heard her phone ring. Sydney answered the phone as she said, "Hello?" Sydney then heard Tony's voice say, "Hey. Ready to show me your latest hot pics?" Sydney then said, "Tony. I... I can't. You know my new step-sister Sophia? Well some photos and video of her got leaked out that were were taken over a year ago, and... I can't deep doing this. The photos I've sent you... if they leak out..." Then Tony said, "Whoa. Chill Syd. You've never actually sent photos of yourself naked. So you won't be in trouble." Then as tears began to appear in her eyes Sydney said, "But... if Harry knew..." Then Tony said, "Knew what? We've never kissed. We've never had sex. We've never even touched each other. We've just talked and shared a few photos. We've done nothing wrong." As more tears appeared in her eyes, Sydney said, "But we have. Tony... never call me again!" Then Sydney turned off her phone and threw it at the wall as she began to sob.

Present Day:

Sydney sat on the swing set in the back yard looking upset as Harry walked around the house and towards Sydney. Harry then said, "This swing taken?" Sydney didn't say anything as Harry sat next to her. Harry then took a deep breath and said, "Sydney... I'm not here to judge... at least not yet. Look, I'm not gonna believe what anybody else says the story behind those photos everyone at school saw is. I just want to hear you explain everything to me so I can understand." Sydney then gripped the chains of the swing set tightly as she said, "It was Tony. Remember how he used to take photos of me for that modeling agency? Well I would sometimes send him photos of me trying stuff on at home and... I just started sending him photos of me in various forms of undress." Then Harry said, "Anything else?" Then Sydney said, "No. I swear. We never kissed. We never had sex. We never even touched each other. We just talked and I sent pictures of myself to him. Never to anyone else. Of course... in the world of the internet, never assume anything stays exclusive to one person I guess." Then Harry said, "So... how long?" Sydney closed her eyes and said, "I sent him one picture ten months ago. Our talking over the phone got a little intense that night, but then the next morning we decided things went too far, and we promised never to do it again... until I sent him more photos of me a month later... and a month after that. And then it became the habit. I'd send him photos, I'd feel completely terrible later, I'd make a vow to never do it again, for over three weeks I'd feel happy that my heart only belonged to you, and then... I'd feel tempted again, and the cycle would start all over again. It wasn't until Sophia had her incident with photos of herself leaking out that I realized I had to stop. And I haven't even communicated with Tony since. I promise. I swear."

Harry then looked away from Sydney slightly as he said, "Sydney... this is hard for me. This is really hard." Sydney began to cry as she said, "I'm sorry Harry. I'm so, so, so, so sorry. It was stupid. It was dumb. I was only focused on feeling some kind of emotional high every time I did it, only to always feel a huge low later. But when I'm with you Harry, you make me feel better every day, and that feeling never goes away or lessens. I love you Harry. Before God, I swear I love you so freaking much, and it kills me inside that I hurt you." Harry sighed and said, "Sydney... you were tempted. We all are every day. I feel the same urges you do with other girls I come across. I know how you feel. Sydney... I forgive you. However... it's gonna take some time before I can believe you won't give into that type of temptation again." Sydney then said, "Wait. Are you breaking up with..." Harry then turned to look at Sydney as he said, "No, because I love you Sydney. I want us to fix what's going with you, and what may be going on with us. However... I'm going to be more cautious around you for some time. Because I am hurt by what you did." Sydney then titled her head down. Then Harry moved his head down low so he could look at Sydney right in the eye as he said, "But if anyone at school tries to mess with you or make fun of you for this, I am going to remain in your corner and help you... because Sydney Reynolds, you still deserved to be loved." Sydney made a small smile as she said, "Thank you Harry. You are too good to me. I promise I will spend the rest of my life being a better person for you.." Harry then stood up and made a small smile too as he said, "And so will I." Then Harry walked out of the back yard. Then once she was all alone, Sydney fell to the ground as she began to sob.
