James: Emma! Wow, what a lovely day, isn’t it? I just came to grab some coffee. Do you want anything?

Emma: Just a latte, thanks. And hey, let's catch up! It's been a while.

James: Totally! I’ve been so busy lately. I’m working on a new project at work and there’s a lot at stake.

Emma: Sounds serious! Need a hand with anything?

James: Thanks, but I’ve got it for now. If I get stuck, I’ll hit you up.

Emma: Sure! It’s not a big deal. You always help me, so we are even!

James: Haha, fair enough. Haha, fair enough. Anyway, let’s sit.

Mia: Hi, Alex! Not yet! I’m freaking out. It’s on the tip of my tongue, but I just can’t remember the formulas!

Alex: Relax! It’s a piece of cake. We studied this a hundred times.

Mia: Did you get it all down? I might need help reviewing.

Alex: Sure! Let’s start from scratch and go over the basics. We’ve got time.

Mia: Thanks, Alex. You made my day! I was about to scream, “This is the last straw!”

Alex: Haha! The more the merrier, right? Studying together is more fun. We’ll have a blast when this is over.

Mia: Yeah. And honestly, it’s not worth it to stress so much.

Alex: Good luck, Mia!

Mia: Thanks! See you after the test!

Mark: Hi, Lisa! Not yet. Why?

Lisa: Let’s go hiking — the more the merrier!

Mark:Great idea! We’ll have a blast.

Lisa: Perfect. I’ll text you later.

Mark: Cool. Let’s do it!

Lisa: See you!

Mark: Take care!
