Tickets

Melanie: I can’t believe you!

Lizza: What? I’m sorry. I forgot my glasses.

Melanie: Don’t make this situation worse.

Lizza: What are you on about? Look, I don’t have good eyesight. I’ve told you a hundred times! I’m sorry I booked the wrong time!

Melanie: Well, I hope you are sorry! We’ll be late to Kassandra’s birthday because of you!

Lizza: Listen! I’m sorry! It’s a train. You never know, there might be a chance that the train goes later than usual.

Melanie: (Angrily) Oh yeah… STOP DREAMING! We’re gonna be late all because of you. I wish I had a better sister!

Lizza: (Sadly) Well, I see how it is…

Melanie: (Reach out to Lizza apologetically) Look, I’m sorry I got angry. You’re right. It’s not your fault. Let’s just move on and forget about it.

Lizza: No… I’m a horrible sister.

Melanie: You’re not. I just overreacted. Come on. Let’s try to persuade the ticket people to change our tickets. It will all be fine.

Lizza: Fine. I trust you.

Melanie: Okay. Look! I see a woman over there in the ticket office.

Lizza: Okay. Let’s go!
