You want to go to the dance with Greg, but you also want to go to the dance with Casey. Casey has a leather jacket. "I want to go the dance with Greg and Casey!" you think.

You do not want to go to the dance with Greg and Casey at the same time. You want to go to two dances. One of the dances will be with Greg. The other dance will be with Casey. You want both of those dances to be on Friday night, at the same time. Your head begins hurting. "This is hurting my head," you think.

"Greg, my head is hurting," you tell the phone. Greg will hear your voice because he is listening on his phone, and the phone will say your voice to him. "My head is hurting so I can't answer your question right now. It is hurting because..." you look at your bedroom. There is a math book in your bedroom, from when you were doing your math homework. "My head is hurting because of the math homework I was doing."

"Math homework is boring," says Greg. This makes you like Greg more, because he understands about math homework being boring. "I like Greg more now. But Casey might also think math homework is boring," you think.

"I will tell you whether I will go to the dance with you tomorrow at school." Casey will be at school tomorrow. Casey is a student at the school, not a teacher.

Greg's voice sounds like "Oh, okay" Greg's voice says. His voice changes because now he is thinking of happy things. "Tomorrow I will wear good clothes and smell nice. You will want to go to the dance with me more."

You say goodbye to Greg's voice.
