1. He’d never had a smartphone before, and probably wouldn’t have one now if he hadn’t won the Tech Pak $10,000 Giveaway.
A. He’d never had a smartphone before, and probably wouldn’t have one now if he hadn’t won the Tech Pak $10,000 Giveaway. He’d used the money to pay off his more pressing debts and allowed himself the luxury of buying something he’s always wanted, but never thought he’d be able to afford.
Just holding the phone in his hand made his heart beat a little faster with excitement. He’d ordered it online as an unlocked phone so that he could keep his usual provider, and he thought that he’d gotten a good deal on the price–less than $200!–which made his frugal spirit proud.
2. He stared down at his smartphone’s shattered screen in disbelief that something like this could have happened.
A. He stared down at his smartphone’s shattered screen in disbelief that something like this could have happened. One minute he was walking down the stairs, then his phone had rung, and instead of waiting until he was safely at the bottom he’d fumbled it right out of his pocket and bouncing down ten cement steps.
His mind flashed back to being in the store, looking at the hard cases and scoffing at the idea he might need one. He was always so careful, nothing bad was going to happen. It had seemed like a waste of money, as had the phone insurance that would have cost him an extra $20.
3. She kept her eyes focused on her smartphone screen and pushed her right earbud tighter into her ear. His eyes seemed to burn against the side of her face and more than anything she wanted to run.
A. She kept her eyes focused on her smartphone screen and pushed her right earbud tighter into her ear. His eyes seemed to burn against the side of her face and more than anything she wanted to run. But she forced herself to keep her cool and pretend that he wasn’t there, staring at her from from his seat across the aisle.
Honestly, she didn’t know what was with this guy. She’d seen him while she was waiting in line and had thought nothing about his too-intimate smile (creeps were creeps). But this was getting ridiculous. He was seriously beginning to spook her.
