#GameOn Texting Ollie

Ryan and Joel are walking together at school.

Ryan: You think she's right?

Joel: What about?

Ryan: 'Free offers are never free.'

Joel: Don't know. I suppose you have to pay somehow.

Ryan: But my ringtone's free.

Joel: Yeah.

Ryan: Isn't it?

Joel: How would I know?

Ryan: The site said it was free.

Grace and Bianca are standing at their lockers.

Grace: You know it wasn't me, right?

Bianca: Yeah, I know that now, but I don't understand how someone else could have done it.

Grace: I'm trying to think. Who else would know my password, Bee?

Bianca: Well, I do.

Grace: Yeah, but you're my friend.

Bianca: It would be horrible if it was someone else here. Wouldn't it?

Dean, Harry and Susan are sitting in the playground. Harry see that Dean's Aunty has arrived at the school.

Harry: Good luck.

Dean: Thanks.

Dean gets up and heads to Ms O'Reilly's office.

Harry: I warned him. We used to do stuff together. Now all he wants to do is play that stupid game of his.

Susan: I don't get how people let things take over. Do you?

Dean knocks on the door to Ms O'Reilly's office.

Ms O'Reilly: Come in.

Dean: (sighs)

Ollie is siting in the ice-cream shop while his mum and Sarah stand behind the counter. Ollie's phone beeps.

Sarah: Who is it?

Ollie: A friend.

Sarah: Which one?

Ollie: A school friend.

Sarah: Who?!

Ollie: You don't know all of my friends.

Sarah: Mum, do you ever check Ollie's phone?

Mum: What do you mean?

Sarah: Like, do you check his messages?

Mum: Should I?

Sarah: Maybe. See you after work.

Trish, Dean and Rosie arrive home from the school. Dean gets out of the car and begins to storm off.

Trish: Dean. Dean!

Dean: Why can't I play my game?

Trish: Because it was taking over.

Dean: Taking over from what?! Collecting eggs? Watching TV?

Trish: You're not getting any sleep.

Dean: It's fun. OK?

Trish: Look, it's become too much.

Dean: You don't understand! You didn't have to phone the school!

Trish: I didn't.

Dean: What?

Trish: Your teacher, she phoned me.

Joel is in his bedroom at home playing Star Warriors. Joel's mum, Wendy, enters.

Wendy: Homework?

Joel: Yes.

Wendy: This has to stop.

Joel: What?

Wendy: You can play for one more hour and then you have to stop. If you can't...

Joel: What?

Wendy: Well, this computer goes into my room.

Joel: Oh, why?

Wendy: Because it is not healthy to be up half the night and it is not good to fall asleep at school. It's not. Is it?

Joel: I don't know.

Sarah and her friend, Melissa, are shopping for clothes at Designer Op Shop.

Sarah: Hey, I like these pants.

Melissa: Which ones?

Sarah: What do you think about these ones?

Melissa: Yeah, give them a try.

Sarah: Alright.

Melissa receives a message on her mobile phone.

Melissa: Sarah?

Sarah: What?

Melissa: Isn't that your brother?
