The Hacker

Beth and Scarlett Smith were the best of friends as well as sisters. But when they were put in foster care they were separated. Beth was the oldest. She stood at about 5'6 with a slim figure. She had chocolate brown hair and brown eyes with her only imperfection being the scar above her left eye. Scarlett was Beth's living image only a little shorter standing at about 5'2. She wasn't fat but she was considerably bigger. They went their separate ways at the age of 15 and 17 when they were fostered by different families. Now, they would be 30 and 32. They haven't spoke in 15 years. Surely, it's about time they met again.

Beth came home from work and signed into Facebook as she usually did. No notifications. No messages. No friend requests. As usual. She went to the kitchen and flipped the switch to the kettle. There was a funny smell in there. Kind of like...stale sweat. She chuckled to herself as she remembered Tom or was it Tim? She couldn't exactly remember, the only thing she could remember was what they did on the kitchen floor the other night. Still having sex flashbacks, Beth walked back to the computer, cup in hand. 1 friend request. Beth opened it.

"Oh my god" she whispered.

She dropped her coffee and it smashed on the floor.

Scarlett Smith.

Beth cleaned up the mess, paced the floor for about 10 minutes and decided to accept the friend request. As soon as she did a message popped up from Scarlett.

S: Hey Beth. I can't believe I found you I thought it would be impossible.

B: How can I be sure that you are who you say you are?

S: When we were kids you always used to tell me that impossible was just "I'm possible" and that everything was possible.

B: Wow! Oh my god it's really you.

S: Yep, it's really me.

Beth stared blankly at the computer screen. She had no idea what to say. What are you supposed to say after 15 years? She didn't have time to think before Scarlett gave her the answer.

S: How have you been?

B: Great, yourself?

S: Yeah, okay. You know how it is these days. You get by.

B: Yeah that's true.

B: So what do you do for a living?

*Scarlett Smith is now offline*

"Wow! Must've hit a nerve" Beth thought out loud.

And with that she signed out, turned off the computer and went to bed.

When Beth woke up she signed into Facebook. This wasn't normally routine but she only found her sister last night. 6 messages.

"You what?" Beth nearly choked on her water.

She opened them. All from Scarlett.

S: I still can't believe I found you!

S: Hello, you there?

S: Obviously not.

S: Why aren't you answering me?

S: Are you happy I found you?

S: Oh my god, you hate me. I knew this was a mistake. Fuck off and stay out my life you stupid bitch!
