Betty: Hello!
Elie: Hi. Why weren't you at school?
Betty: Lying in bed. Sick,
Elie: Sorry. Mr Atkins asked about you.
Betty: Funny. What could he possibly want from me?
Elie: He didn't say. Maybe it was about the performance next week.
Betty: Were you at the rehearsal?
Elie: Not today. I had a test in biology and couldn't skip it. 
Betty: How did it go?
Elie: Pretty fine. I didn't do all the questions but I hadn't studied much either.
Betty: I guess there will be a lot of tests and assignments waiting for me when I get back.
Elie: Don't think about it now. Just get better :-)
Betty is sick and didn't go to school. Mr Atkins asked about Betty. Ellie did't go to the rehearsal today because she had a test in biology.
