018. An Old Friend
Sylvia was reading a magazine. One of the advertisements caught her attention. It was her old friend Tina from high school.
She was a model now. She looked amazing! Sylvia wanted to talk to Tina again. She checked her phone book from high school. She called Tina’s number. Nobody picked up. She probably changed her number.
Sylvia looked Tina up on Facebook. Almost everyone on earth has a Facebook account. She managed to find her. Technology made everything so easy. Sylvia messaged Tina. Tina replied back. They made plans to meet at a cafe.
