It is now 7:55pm.

3. Scenario #2 Your soccer team is in the championship game. During the first half of the game, one of your teammates continually hogged the ball. The worst part, is that he missed each time he tried to score and made several mistakes. Twice you felt you were in a better position to score, but he refused to pass the ball to you or anyone else. It is now halftime and your teammate is complaining that he feels like he has to do all the work out on the field and the rest of you need to pick up your effort.

4. Scenario #3 Your best friend told you a secret you promised to keep to yourself. However, you slipped up and told another one of your friends who promised to keep the secret quiet. At lunch you find out that a lot of people heard the secret and your best friend is devastated and embarrassed. She is clearly upset and refuses to speak to you.

5. Scenario #4 You loaned your IPOD to your brother and his best friend to use for the weekend while on a trip. When they return your IPOD to you, the screen is scratched up, and there is a small dent around the case. Your brother argues that the IPOD was already scratched when you gave it to him.

6. Scenario #5 You parents have gone out for the evening and will not be home until late that night. They told you that you could not have anyone over to the house and you could not leave the house while they were out. Two of your friends drop by without calling and want to come in and hang out for a little while. Your friends have been over before, but a parent has always been home. Your friends have been known to drink and you suspect that they have alcohol with them now.
