A Friend in Need

A Friend in Need

Makayla: Hi Gemma. You look terrible!

Gemma: Hey Makayla. Mmm, I haven’t slept.

Makayla: Are you OK? What’s the matter?

Gemma: Well, you know that photo I sent to Clare on Friday night?

Makayla: Yeah? 

Gemma: Well, she sent it to Justin ...

Makayla: Oh no! How could she do that? It obviously was only for her.

Gemma: I know! I thought she’d find it funny.

Makayla: Well, it was quite funny ... but you didn’t expect her to send it to anyone.

Gemma: No, of course not! Especially not Justin! It’s so embarrassing!

Makayla: Ah well, don’t worry. I know how you feel though ...

Gemma: And what if he puts it on Facebook or something? What if my mum sees it?

Makayla: No, no, don’t worry ... he won’t. It’s not that interesting for him or anyone else, to be honest.

Gemma: But what if he does?

Makayla: He won’t. But maybe ask Clare to speak to Justin ... Get him to delete the photo?

Gemma: Yeah … maybe. But that might just make him even more interested ...
