Olivia froze. There was a large dog a few feet in front of her on the sidewalk. The dog wagged its tail as its handler talked to an elderly man, but still Olivia's heart pounded in her chest. Olivia couldn't bring herself to walk near the dog. She crossed the street and continued on her way.

It was after midnight, and Alex was just starting to study for his chemistry test. He had put it off until the last minute, of course, and now he was paying the price. With debate club, soccer, his part-time job at the restaurant, and homework from all his other classes, it was hard to keep up with everything.
Maybe he should quit his job . . . or quit the debate team. He wasn't enjoying debate as much as he used to. However, Alex knew his dad was proud of his achievements in debate, and Alex didn't want to disappoint him. But what about homework? Well, he'd love to have less homework, but he couldn't exactly tell his teachers that. He thought for a minute about quitting soccer, but then he stopped. He couldn't imagine life without soccer.
Alex sighed. All he knew was that if he failed his chemistry test, his parents would make the decision for him—a decision he wouldn't like, so he was willing to stay up all night, if necessary.

Julia called her friend Teresa on the phone. "Teresa, can you bring over my camera tonight? I want to have it for my trip to the beach tomorrow."
"Oh, um . . . didn't I already return it?" Teresa said.
"No, not yet."
"Are you sure?"
"Positive." What was wrong with Teresa? Julia had been asking for the camera for a week now, and Teresa kept forgetting to bring it. "Just bring it over tonight, okay?"
"Sure, of course," Teresa said. "I'll, uh, I'll leave it on your front porch."
"Why don't you just come in—" Teresa had hung up. She was acting so weird.
Before going to sleep that night, Julia checked the porch. There was the camera, just like Teresa promised. Julia took it upstairs and plugged it in so it would be fully charged for the trip.
The next morning after arriving at the beach, Julia took out her camera. She was eager to snap some shots in the morning light. She turned on the camera, but nothing happened. Julia turned it off, then turned it on again. Still nothing. The camera wasn't working.

It was almost midnight, and Raj still couldn't go to sleep. He picked up his cell phone and punched in a text message. Of course, he could have just walked down the hall and tapped on his brother's door, but Arun could be sleeping. Suddenly, his phone beeped. Nope, Arun was wide awake, too.
