Ming is talking on her cell phone. Her friend, Lisa, just called:

"Hello?" said Ming.

"Hi Ming," said Lisa. Lisa is someone that Ming knows from school.

"Lisa! What’s going on? How did your last race go?" asked Ming.

"I came in second, but that’s okay. Hey, I need Andrea’s phone number. Do you have it?" asked Lisa.

"Sure." Ming stopped to take a look at the list of contacts on her phone. "It’s 612-555-3462. Do you want me to text you her phone number?"

"Yeah, that would be great." said Lisa. "Listen, I’ve got to go. Call me later, okay?"

"Okay, I will," said Ming.

"Okay, bye", said Lisa.

"Bye," said Ming.
