Tasha: Hi Nick. You’re running late.

Nick: What’s your schedule like this year?
Tasha: Well, for first period I have English, then World History, and Political Science. Then I have lunch. After lunch I have Orchestra, Chemistry and PE. What’s your schedule like?
Nick: I have Band for my first period, then English, then American History. After lunch I have German, Algebra and Biology. Man, my algebra teacher Mr. Simmons is really hard.
Tasha: Yeah, I took his class last year and there was a ton of homework every night.
Nick: How come you don’t have a math class?
Tasha: I already completed the two years of math that are required. I’m not going to take any more. How come you don’t have PE?
Nick: Band counts as PE credits.
Tasha: Lucky. What are you doing during lunch?
Nick: I’m going to hang out with Mike. I didn’t see him all summer.

Tasha: Alright, see you later.
