Sally Hi, Olivia. Are you OK?

Olivia Hi, Sally. Yeah, I’m OK. Well,

sort of OK. New York’s nice, but

I miss California. I arrived last

month, and I still don’t know

anyone here.

Sally Yes, you do! You know me!

Olivia Yes, sorry, you’re right. But

things were very different in

California.

Sally Tell me a little about it.

Olivia Well, we lived in San Diego. Our

house was really big, and it

was really close to my school.

I walked to school in five

minutes.

Sally What was the school like?

Olivia It was great. I had a lot of

friends there.

Sally What were the teachers like?

Olivia Well, the P.E. teacher wasn’t very

nice, but the others were great.

Sally What was your favorite subject?

Olivia Drama. I loved it. I was in all the

school plays.

Sally Drama? That’s my favorite, too!

Listen, Olivia, come with me to

the drama club here. It’s on

Tuesdays.

Olivia Tuesdays? Oh no. That’s a

problem. I joined the school

choir yesterday, and it meets on

Tuesdays, I think.

Sally No, it doesn’t—it meets on

Thursdays, from four to five. I

know—I’m in choir too!

Olivia That’s great! You know,

Sally—maybe I don’t miss

California after all!
