If I bought the Iphone 5 at the apple store am I under a contract?

When the Iphone 5 came out I bought the phone at the apple store then after that I went to AT&T to get the phone set up. What I'm asking is am I under a contract with AT&T or do I own the phone since I bought it from apple. I want to upgrade to the new iphone 5s when it comes out.

Can't see protected tweets of people I follow on twitter

Ever since I updated twitter, I can't see protected tweets even if I follow them and they follow me.
Also, my timeline doesn't show the blue conversation line.
And, I used to be able to click "load more tweets" and read tweets from hours ago even if I haven't checked twitter in while but now, I can't do that.
The tweets on my timeline will suddenly jump from "12 hrs ago" to "3 hrs ago" and the tweets in between are gone.
I used to be able to read all of them.
I've tried deleting the app and reinstalling it numerous times. It fixes all of the problems for a while but as soon as I exit out of it and open the app again, it's back to the screwed up twitter.
Nobody else seems to be having this problem.
When I check twitter from my computer, everything seems to be fine. It's just on the mobile app.
Is it twitter or is it my iphone?
Please help!
I can't see a lot of my friends' tweets and it's really annoying me!

Virgin Mobile iPhone 4s warranty. Cracked Screen?

I have an iPhone 4s with Virgin Mobile. Recently, I've had trouble with charging my phone. My screen is also cracked. I contacted Virgin Mobile and they said they do not replace iPhones, even though I have a 1 year warranty. They asked me to contact Apple, but I heard Apple won't replace my phone if it is cracked. Please know I'm not trying to get a new phone just because it's cracked. The phone is giving me lots of problems and I need a new one. Is it possible to get a refurbished phone for free since I have warranty?

What should I name my fanfiction?

I have no clue what to name it. It's going to be about a girl who meets her love (harry styles) who helps her through her seizures at school. I've only written the first chapter. Here it is.

*bzzz* *bzzz* *bzzz* *bzzz*

My iPhone vibrates and blares the "marimba" ringtone I have set for my morning alarm. I turn over and groan. Where is my phone anyway? My small fingers fumble through the blankets, groping for the device. I want so badly to find it, only so I can shut it off and fall back asleep. I finally pull it out of the tangled sheets next to my pillow. It takes almost every bit of me to resist hitting snooze.

I collapse back onto the mattress and stretch. It's 6:00 am on a Monday, again.

My feet lazily stumble over the carpetrd floor in my room and hallway towards the bathroom. I blindly feel the wall for the light switch, and flip it to the on postition. The bathroom lights are almost unbearable as I turn the shower knob to the right. I close the shower curtain and steam immediately starts to fill the small room as soon as I shut the door.

Quickly, I peel off my t-shirt and Nike shorts. In seconds I'm listening to my favorite artist and massaging shampoo into my long, brown hair.

"I never would've thought that… Feelings could get thrown in the air. 'Cause, I accidently caught that. I need some new boxing gloves… " I sing along with Tyler the Creator. Not exactly the perfect role model, I know. But that's what I get for jumping on the average tumblr girl bandwagon.

Before I know it, it's already 6:20. I can't take quick showers whether I'm listening to music or not. I step out of the shower and pull on my robe. My dripping hair is pulled onto the top of my head in a towel wrap. Rubbing my neck as I step in my bedroom, I yank my school uniform out of my chair. The unflattering red, blue, yellow, and green skirt is reluctantly pulled up my thin legs, and I carefully button up my white blouse. I loosely tie my white converse left-handed.

For the next 40 minutes I dry and flat iron my hair, apply makeup, and pack my backpack. I have 5 minutes to catch the bus. As I'm brushing my teeth, I hear my name being called from the kitchen.

"McLean, come get breakfast!" yells my mother.

"Mom, I can't. I don't have enough time!" I yell back, trudging through the dining room. I poke my head around the corner and peer into the kitchen. Muffins and pancakes are sitting on a plate in the middle of the island. She peers up at me over the rim of her reading glasses, her eyes full of doubt.

"You know you have to eat. You know what will happen. Did you take your medicine this morning? Did you take it last night? Don't skip anymore doses. You know double doses aren't going to help-"

"Mom!" I interuppt. "Calm down. I'll take it right now."

"Chloe Camden Carroll. Don't you tell me to calm down again, or I'll take your phone. Now hurry, before you miss the bus."

"Didn't you just tell me to eat?" I wiggle my eyebrows quizzicly.

"Yes, but I'm not driving you. I just got home from work. Now go," she demands.

"Love you too, Mother," I say sarcastically as I walk out the door.
