Hazel: But mom (looking around the Liberty Room) Dont you think your'e going a bit overboard?
Mrs. Aduen: Oh my goodness! Hazel, do you know what Liberty's favorite color was?
Hazel: No mom, we weren't really friends.
Mrs. Aduen: Are you saying that her death hasn't...had an effect on you? (she starts to cry)

(she takes out her recorder, and answers the phone after four rings.) Hello, you have reached the Nash residence, nobody is here to take your call so leave a message after the tone. Thank you, goodbye!(presses button on tape recorder and it makes a beep.)
Emma: Hi Ellie this is Emma, and i just wanted to talk about you know what. I'm calling back in a few minutes because maybe your just not home yet, or that message machine was pretty fake. I heard somebody pick up the phone, or maybe its just in the background. I'm not sure. I know that you live further away from school than i do, but i got home half an hour ago...surely your there. But maybe your ignoring me.(hears Ellie sigh) Now that wasn't the people in the background Ellie i know you are there! or the machine would have cut me off by now.
Ellie: Emma, I really like Sean. And thats all there is to it. Bye. (hangs up really mad)
Emma's House
Emma: Mom i'm going out for a walk, be back in like an hour!
Spike: A walk shouldn't take you an hour!
Emma: I'm going to the park to walk and sit, to clear my mind i guess.
Spike: Alright.
Emma: (walks to Ellie's house, knocks on the door. nobody answers. Rings doorbell, hears footsteps)

Ellie: You can go on my computer, do some research, I'll look in the textbook. What should we do for our project?
Emma: I was thinking we could do something with water and gravity.
Ellie: Like three bottles, one half full, one empty, and-
Emma: One full! Then we could drop them and see-
Ellie: Which one drops first and how-
Emma: Fast it goes! Hey, we make a good team! (They high five eachother) We could try it with other subtances. Like vegtable oil, water, milk, ice, an so on.

Emma: Blood?
Ellie: Um no, i was just thinking out loud.
Emma: Why would you think about blood?
Ellie: No reason.(very quickly)

Paige: I guess so.
JT: Manny! Spinner! Over here!
