Who to invite

Makayla: Hi Gemma, how’s it going?
Gemma: Oh, hi Makayla. How are you?
Makayla: Fine, thanks. You were miles away! What’s up?
Gemma: Ah, nothing … I’m trying to decide who to invite to a barbecue.
Makayla: Oooh ... a barbecue. Am I invited?
Gemma: Yeah, of course! My parents are having a barbecue on Saturday and they said I can invite some friends.
Makayla: Great!
Gemma: … But it’s complicated.
Makayla: Why, what’s the problem?
Gemma: Well … I’m only allowed to invite five people.
Makayla: Ah, OK. What are you thinking? Who’s on your list?
Gemma: Well … I’ve got you and Jack, obviously … and Leah … so that’s three. Sam can’t come so I can invite two more, but I’m not sure who to ask.
Makayla: Hmm, right. Why don’t you ask Marco?
Gemma: Marco? The new guy? I don’t know ... I don’t know him very well ...
Makayla: He’s really nice, honestly … and so funny!
Gemma: Oh, is he?
Makayla: Don’t be stupid ... and it would give him a chance to get to know people ...
Gemma: Hmm … maybe ...
Makayla: And Jack won’t want to be the only boy.
Gemma: Hmm, OK, I’ll ask him … as long as you promise to look after him.
Makayla: Yeah, of course, as long as you promise not to embarrass me!
Gemma: I won’t.
Makayla: You can ask Carla too. I think she might already know Marco.
Gemma: OK, it’s a plan.
Makayla: Oh, I’m looking forward to the weekend now.
Gemma: Me too.
