      "WHAT??? Ain't know wayyyy!!!!" Amelia screeched. "You asked out the hottest guy to junior prom and he said YES??" 

"Yes he did. I got JAKE to say YES!" Emily screeched louder

"Who should I go to prom with?" Amelia pondered out loud. "Oh I know! What about Ryan on the basketball team? He's really cute"

"Good choice!" Emily said "Oh we split paths here. Byeee!"
