Ambria called Emily. There was a long pause after she picked up and before she started talking. She said it was frozen for her. They had another long pause. Ambria started telling her about turning in her math project and getting her new one. She described the project. They use transformations of functions to make pictures. Emily said it sounded “quite complicated.” Ambria said it’s not and showed her an example on her calculator. Emily understood. Emily talked about the dog and the clothes she is wearing. Emily asked about Chester. Ambria said she thinks they took him home. Emily asked if anyone asked where he is. Ambria said no. Emily showed sympathy for him. Ambria told her she’s almost done with her painting project in art. She’s almost done. She just needs to outline. She described the project to Emily. Emily asked what the other paintings were. Ambria said they were all chickens. Emily asked about the house cup. Emily told her it was really fun. She told about being sorted and choosing the house. She told her her team was Dumbledore’s Army and that they got extra points. She told her how the score went back and forth due to the penalties, spells, and the bonus her house got. Her mom said, “OK,” and asked about the penalties and bonuses. She asked if Ambria had any penalties. Ambria said she didn’t. She told her she played a lot. She didn’t jam but blocked. Emily asked about the shirt. Ambria described it to her. Her mom asked her derby name and number. Ambria told her. Emily asked what her number 919 meant. Ambria said nothing. Emily asked if she picked it. Ambria said she did. Emily clarified that she won. Ambria said yes. Emily asked which team she faced. Ambria couldn’t remember. Emily asked if it was mixed or the established teams. Ambria told her about the other leagues that participated. Emily asked about seeing her friends from last year and if she had talked to them. Ambria said she saw them but didn’t talk to them. Ambria said they split her team. Emily said that was confusing. “Quite the challenge.” Emily asked what she had for lunch. Ambria said chicken. Emily said that’s the answer to the other questions. Emily said Panda says hello. Ambria said hello. Emily said the dog and cat were seething because they got in trouble. Ambria asked about the retainer. Emily said she can’t find it. Emily asked if she’s sure it’s not there. Ambria said yes. Emily asked where it went. Ambria said it may have fallen out of her bag when she went through security. Emily asked if she can get another one. Ambria said yes, but they’re expensive. Emily asked what happens if she doesn’t wear them. Do her teeth move around? Ambria said yes, and her braces would be for nothing. Emily said she wished she could find it and wondered why they didn’t make an announcement if someone found it. Emily said she hopes she finds it. Ambria said she wanted to go. They ended the call at 3:10 PM.
