She asked, "Erin, are 당신 okay?" Erin replied, "I'm fine. Why do 당신 ask?" Allie said, "Well, for one thing, it's almost 10:30. Your aunt told me you're usually awake 의해 10:00 on a Saturday morning. For another thing, 당신 left the radio on. Finally, I wasn't able to wake 당신 for a moment." Erin said, "There's no need to be alarmed. I fell asleep while listening to the radio last night, and I guess no one turned it off. Also, yesterday was a long 일 for me. I needed the extra thirty minutes." Allie said, "Okay, good." Erin said, "But I appreciate your concern. I'm glad people care enough about me to see if I'm all right." Allie said, "And I'm glad 당신 are, but 당신 really did scare me." Erin said, "I'm sorry."

It was Valentine's Day. My 프렌즈 and I made Valentine's 일 cards for each other. After school, we all met at Jennifer's house to exchange them. I was careful about what I wrote on some of them, because not all of my 프렌즈 understand my humor. The only ones who do are Gavin, Jennifer, and William. The card I made for Gavin was a classic example of my humor. On the outside, I wrote, "It's Valentine's Day. I got 당신 a card." On the inside, I wrote, "This is the inside of it." Gavin laughed until he cried when he read it. He said, "Oh, Catherine, always funny!" I said,...
