Texting in the 80's: A Back tot he Past Chronicle




Plot
Rich and popular, Marissa James had all the modern--day technology a girl could want:  iPhone, MP3 player, laptop—you name it, she had it.  But when she and her best friend Cassandra Nelson and her boyfriend, James Royce, find themselves trapped in the 80’s, they  soon realized that they need to find their way back using only 80’s technology, will they want to go back to their plush lifestyle or find life in the 80’s easier?
Chapter 1
“Mom, where’s my iPhone?” Marissa asks her mother. 
“You’re on that thing way too much?” Marissa’s mother tells her.
“Sorry, mom!” Marissa apologizes.  “I just can’t live without my iPhone.  It’s my life!”
“One day you’ll be sorry for relying so much on those things.  I wish I never got them for you.”
“Yeah.  I know, mom.” Marissa says, unsympathetically.  “I gotta go.  Late meeting the girls.”
Marissa hops in her brand-new Jeep Cherokee and drives off to school.  Her parents got her the car when she pulled straight A’s in junior high school.  She wondered what she would get if she pulled straight A’s in high school?  She couldn’t wait for graduation to find out?
Pulling into the school parking lot, Marissa’s boyfriend, James Royce, met her with a kiss on the cheek when she got out of her Jeep.
“Hey, love.”
“Hey, baby.” Marissa greeted back with a kiss as she took his hand he held out to her.
“You didn’t send me a text?” James said, sounding disappointed.
“I misplaced my iPhone and didn’t find it til I walked out the door this morning.” Marissa explained. 
“Oh, that’s okay.”
“My mom got irritated with me being on my iPhone so much.  Can you believe her?  Like she can’t understand how I can’t live without it?” Marissa complained.
“I know, right!” James agreed.  “Why can’t parents understand it’s our life?  We need to text people?”
“She said I would someday regret relying on it so much.  Can you believe that?”
“Really?  What’s she gonna do…take it away from you?” James wondered.
“I don’t know.  But I don’t want to see that day I have to live without a cell phone.” Marissa said.
As Marissa and James headed for first period class, Cassandra Nelson found them. 
“Hey, Rissa!  James!” Cassandra called to them. 
“Cassandra!” Marissa said turning around to see her best friend.
“Glad I found you.”
“What’s up, Cassie?’
“I wanted to ask you two if you wanted to come to a rave party I was invited to?”
“I can always count on you to know where the hot parties are, Cassie!”
“Just call me the party whisperer!” Cassandra agreed.
“James, want to go?”
“Rissa, you know I can’t pass up a great party!” James said, accepting the invite.
“Well, I guess you have it, Cass!  We’ll be there with bells on!” Marissa tells her friend.
“Great!  We’ll leave right after school lets out!”
“We’ll be ready.” Marissa said just as they were headed into 1st algebra class.
As Marissa got her books ready for algebra, she couldn’t wait for school to end.  Marissa enjoyed her life—great friends and a lavish party life.  Life couldn’t be simpler!
