Sarah: Thanks!

Guy Online: I’m serious…you wanna…um…no you’re not that type of girl

Sarah: What do you mean?

Guy Online: You just seem like you’re a goody-two-shoes.

Sarah: Ahh…I am not! (laughing)

Guy Online: You totally are. (laughing)

Sarah: Try me…

Guy Online: Ok…why don’t you…give me a little show?

Sarah: What kind of show?

Guy Online: Like a strip show. (puts his hood on)

Sarah: Hmmm (thinking about it)

Guy Online: I knew you were a goody-two-shoes.

Sarah: I didn’t say no…yet.

Guy Online: Come on…it would make my day. I just…I’ve been having a brutal week and I need some cheering up. You’re the only one that can make it better…please?

Sarah: Ok…but just this once.

The after-effects of doing the online strip show for the guy at her school: 

Sarah’s soccer coach: Sarah you know being on this team is a privilege and frankly with your conduct we just simply can’t have you on the team anymore.

A guy at Sarah's school: Hey Sarah, what’s it going to take for me to get a show?

Vice Principal at Sarah’s School: You know that this is unacceptable behavior. You’ve been an exemplary student, but we have not choice in the situation.

Sarah’s Friend: We’re not friends…you’re a slut!
