Once upon a time there was a group of friends. They had been best friends for a very long time, since kindergarten in fact. They were so tight that everyone called them the "Frat" (short for fraternity). Friends they remained all they way up through high school. Once in high school however, they started to part ways. They followed different interests and started hanging out with other people.  It was about this time that the high school decided to add a new after-school activity, FFA. This was a new program and many students were eager to join, including the Frat. With the help of FFA, the Frat was reconstituted (brought back together). It was like old times. As part of the FFA, Frat friends could hang out with other people, yet still remain as close as ever. But it wasn't long before problems crept into the Frat. Lynsey was mad at Madison because she kept missing FFA meetings because of softball practice. Aaron stopped going to FFA meeting because Madison (whom he secretly liked) never came to meetings. Lynsey started giving Aaron the cold shoulder. The Frat was once again breaking up. FFA couldn't even keep them together. The Frat needed something that they all liked, but would allow them the flexibility to follow their own interests when they wished. Madison decided that social media could bring the Frat together. She created a profile account called The Frat. Aaron, Lynsey, Michael, and Savanna all joined. They started exchanging pics, comments, likes, and events. The Frat wasn't always hanging out like they used to, but social media was the vehicle that kept the Frat together.
