Blakely: Cops! Genevieve: Lets run! Cop number one: We’ve got you surrounded. Put your hands up. Cop number 2: You were caught vandalizing and trespassing on private property. You are under arrest. Samantha’s mom: Really Samantha! This is your third time this month getting arrested! Why do you do this Sam? Samantha: I’m just bored I guess. Samantha’s mom: Bored?! You are breaking the law because you are bored?! Samantha: I guess. Samantha’s mom: Then you are going to get a hobby. You could play an instrument, take art classes, dance, I don’t know anything! Samantha: Instrument sounds good. What would I play? Samantha’s mom: Piano would be good to start because I heard once you can play the piano, it’s easier to learn other instruments. Samantha: Then I guess I’ll play the piano! Piano teacher: Here is our beginners book. I’ve already taught you all the basics so you should know how to play this. You can start whenever. Piano teacher: Wow! I guess we can just skip to the next book! Samantha: Really? Piano teacher: Yeah really. You’re good. Really good! Samantha: Thanks! Sophia: She’s right, you know. You are good at piano. Samantha: Who are you?! Sophia: I’m Sophia. And you’re Samantha? Samantha: Yes. How do you know my name? Sophia: I’m your Piano teacher's daughter. Samantha: Nice. Do you play piano too? Sophia: A little. Mainly I play Violin. Samantha: That’s cool. Sophia: Yup. Samantha: Do you have any siblings? Sophia: Yeah. I’m the youngest of three girls. Do you have any siblings? Samantha: Yeah a little sister. Sophia: Oh! Come Sail Away with me? I love that song! Sophia(Singing): Come sail a-way with me, Sophia and Samantha(Singing): Let’s sail the ocean blue, We’ll sail across the sea, no one but me and you. You’ll be my guiding star, come sail awayyy! Sophia. That was fun! I gotta go. It was nice talking to you! Samantha: Bye! Genevieve: Hey Sam! Samantha: Hi Genevieve! Genevieve: What did your mom do to you after you got arrested last night? Samantha: I have to learn how to play the piano. What about you? Genevieve: I’m grounded for a month. No leaving the house except for school. Why do you have to learn how to play the piano? Samantha: Because my mom thinks that if I have a hobby there won’t be any time to do anything illegal. Blakely: Hi you guys! Samantha and Genevieve: Hi Blakely! Blakely: What are you guys talking about? Samantha: Just what our parents did to us as punishment for getting arrested again. Blakely: I got grounded for a month. Genevieve: Same. Samantha: I have to learn how to play the piano because my mom thinks that if I have a hobby there won’t be any time to do anything illegal. Blakely: That’s strange. But maybe you can play in the talent show. Samantha: Talent show? Blakely: Yeah the school is having a talent show in two weeks. If you get good at piano, she should sign up! Samantha: Okay I will! Blakely(confused): Why is Lisa coming over here?! Lisa: Hi you guys! What are you doing? Samantha: Just talking. Lisa: Same girlie. Just got finished talking with my friends. Genevieve: Fun. Lisa: Yeah we should totally hang out sometime. Samantha: Sure! Hailey: Hi Lisa! Who are you talking to? Lisa: Genevieve, Blakely, and Samantha. Hailey: Oohhhh. Well come on Lisa! We’ve got to get to class! Genevieve: We should get to class! Everlyn: Hi you guys! Sam, Blakely, Genevieve: Hi Everlyn. Everlyn: I heard you guys talking about the talent show.

Everlyn: Just one of her friends. Genevieve: Great now everyone knows we got arrested. Samantha: I don’t think everyone knows. Blakely: Everyone knows, look! Genevieve: Ugg. Blakely: That must be why Lisa was talking to us earlier. Why else would the most popular girl in school come talk to us? Teacher: All right class settle down. Julie: You guys got arrested?! Blakely: Shh! Julie: Why? Genevieve: We were just spray painting. Julie: I don’t see why you guys risk it. It isn’t worth it. Teacher: Today we will be learning about percentages.
