Day+168

Charlene and Joanne have been good friends for some time. Now they are in high school. A new girl in school, Tina, comes over to Joanne and Charlene and asks to join them for a snack. Joanne notices that Charlene and Tina are doing most of the talking and that they are getting along well together. After Tina leaves, Joanne asks Charlene to come over to her house on Saturday afternoon. She has something important she wants to talk over. Charlene says she’ll try to come. Later that day, however, Charlene gets a call from Tina asking her to go to a popular movie with her on Saturday afternoon. It’s the last chance to see the movie.
