      Introduction

      Lindsay, an attractive freshman in high school, has a senior, Brad, as a boyfriend. They have been going out for the past three months. Brad has been pressuring Lindsay for sex, but she isn’t ready. Brad tells Lindsay if she isn’t ready, he knows that Kate, a senior, is. Lindsay knows Brad is popular and that her popularity as a freshman is mainly due to the fact that she and Brad are dating. She loves the attention she gets from being popular and she really likes Brad. She decides to use her cell phone camera to take a semi-nude photo of herself and texts it to Brad with a provocative message hoping that this will be enough to keep him happy for the time being without having to sleep with him. Brad decides to brag a bit about how attractive Lindsay is and uses his cell phone to text the private image to his friends. Now some of Brad’s friends decide to text the image to their friends and soon every kid with a cell phone in school has the picture of Lindsay half-naked.

      Adam and Chad are juniors in high school. They have been best friends since the 5th grade. Adam has picked up Chad and is driving to get their girlfriends, Sara and Michele, before heading over to a party at a friend’s house. Adam is driving to Sara’s house to pick them up when he gets a text message that they decide to go to the mall, asking if Adam could pick them up there instead. Adam heads up Jefferson Ave, a busy road cutting through the center of the city, to get to the mall. Adam and Chad have some of their favorite tunes blaring on the radio. As Adam is driving, he is getting flirting messages from Sara about what a great time they are going to have at the party. Adam, holding the wheel in his left hand, uses his right hand to text back messages to Sara from his cell phone down in his lap.
