Jeremy was totally pumped about his new iPhone that he received as a graduation gift from his grandparents. He spent the better part of the day adding his friends to his contact list and then testing out new apps. This made Todd slightly jealous, but that wasn’t enough to get in the way of asking Jeremy if he wanted to check out the latest movie. They arrived at the theatre and decided to share the cost of a large popcorn before they shuffled themselves through the crowd and into the best seats in the house. When the movie trailers began, Todd quietly switched his cellular phone to silent mode. Half an hour later, just when the movie was starting to pick up, the earsplitting ring of Jeremy’s iPhone carried across the entire theatre. Jeremy scrambled to find his phone, which was hidden inside one of his jacket pockets. Jeremy finally located his phone and proceeded to answer his call while exiting the theater. The theater door slammed loudly behind him.
