A. Clamp on some earphones and crank up the tunes next time. Works for you!

B. Not even worry about it—there will be plenty more quizzes before finals.

C. Talk privately with her math teacher. Teach might be willing to give her a re-test or some extra credit work based on her circumstances.

B. “To audition or not to audition, that is the question.”

C. “It’s great you want to be in the musical but, if you haven’t been practicing, it might be a better idea to go out for set design.”

Your friend Kari is getting thinner and thinner. What do you say to her?

A. “Do you have the intestinal flu? Because one time I got it and lost, like, a million pounds in one weekend.”

D. “Hello! Ever hear of food? Here, let me introduce you to my friend Mr. Cheeseburger.”

Your friend Carmen calls you in a panic. She has a date with her crush, and she just broke the zipper on her dress. Even worse, he’s going to be at her house in 10 minutes. What do you say?

A. “The same thing happened to me once. I was supposed to meet this cute guy from camp, and I got lip gloss on my white top and was freaking out. My older sister let me borrow a tee and denim mini, so it was, like, fine.”

B. “Bummer. What are you gonna do?”

C. “Why don’t you wear that adorable blue dress instead? After all, he didn’t ask the dress on a date, he asked you!”

D. “I told you that dress was cheap—that’s why it was so discounted.”

You and your BFF Ingrid spent all weekend watching scary movies. It’s Sunday night, and Ingrid’s home alone. She’s totally spooked and has called you five times in the last half-hour. You need to get some Z’s. When she calls a sixth time—and she will—you’re gonna…
