Daisy: Shall we look for somewhere to get some coffee and some cake?
Amy: Alright. I’m not very hungry, but I’d love something to drink. Where do you fancy going?
Daisy: Anywhere you like.
Amy: Well, how about this place?
Daisy: Oooh, there’s nobody else here! Where is everyone? Ah well, it’s all for us! Hi!
Waiter: Hi! What can I get you?
Daisy: I’d like a cappuccino, please, and have you got any cake?
Waiter: Oh yes, we do. We’ve got some amazing chocolate cake, and some carrot cake – that’s my personal favourite – and there’s a lemon and ginger cake … and …
Daisy: No, no, I’ll have some carrot cake – I haven’t had any for ages, and I love it!
Waiter: A great choice. And can I get you anything?
Amy: Yes, I’d like some green tea with mango, please.
Daisy: Ooh, that sounds good!
Waiter: Anything else?
Amy: Do you have any cookies?
Waiter: I’m sorry, there are none left.
Amy: OK, nothing else then. Just the tea.
Waiter: So, one green tea with mango, one cappuccino and some carrot cake. A large piece and two forks.
Daisy: So. How’s it all going? New town, new school, new people …
Amy: Well, I haven’t really made any friends yet, apart from you, but I’m OK. I just need some time to adapt.
Daisy: Yeah, of course.
Amy: And the teachers all seem nice. There’s no one really boring or unfriendly.
Daisy: No. School’s OK. The headmaster’s new – Mr. Oliveira – I don’t think anyone really knows him yet, but he seems fine.
Amy: Yeah, someone told me he’s almost 50. Can you believe it?
Daisy: No way. He looks like somebody in that film about the millionaire … ummm … Hey, look! That’s my brother over there! Oliver! Ollie! Come and meet Amy!
Oliver: Hi, girls. What are you up to?
Daisy: Nothing. Just chatting and having some cake. Mm!! Have some, it’s delicious!
Oliver: It looks tasty, I might get some. Hi, I’m Oliver, Daisy’s brother.
Amy: Hi, I’m Amy.
Oliver: Amy. Cool. Excuse me, have you got any chocolate cake at all?
Waiter: Yes, we’ve got three different kinds – all home-made. There’s chocolate biscuit cake, white chocolate cake and chocolate and orange cake.
Oliver: Any will do. Surprise me. And a glass of water, please. Thanks. So, Amy. Where are you from? Anywhere exotic and exciting, like the places our mother visits? Singapore? …
Amy: I’m from Cambridge. Cambridge, England.
Oliver: Ah right! Cambridge! Haha, that’s somewhere Mum hasn’t been! It’s too near home! Thanks.
Daisy: Ignore him, he’s just jealous. Our mum travels a lot.
Oliver: Huh! Me!!?? Jealous?! Who needs travel when you have cake?! So, Amy, Daisy told me you’re new, right? Welcome to our town! You’ll like it here. Nice people, good cake. Now tell me about yourself …
Daisy: Ollie! It’s not a job interview! So, anyway there’s Mr Oliveira, and – oh – and Miss Pinkerton is cool, everyone likes her, she teaches maths and she can tell you everything about … well, about anything! And then there’s …
