Hadley rushed off the bus and headed to the Senior Center, looking back several times to make sure no one saw her. She1spending her afternoons with her great uncle and the others at the old people's home.2she didn't think her friends would understand.
"Good afternoon, Hadley" Mr. Matthews said, greeting her at the door. "If you keep coming here to bring us3interesting, we're going to have to pay you a lot of money. "He laughed at his joke and held the door open for her.
"It's just as much fun for me as it is for the others, "Hadley said. She walked to the community room and opened her4. Her purple long dress was inside. But how else would she bring her costumes（戏服）here to act for the elderly？
"What show are you putting on for5today, Hadley?" her great uncle Albert asked.
She smiled at him and6 the dress. "Rapunzel. Isn't this dress pretty?"
"Very."

"What are you doing here?" She asked him.
"I was just going to ask you the same thing. I followed you9the bus. "
"I didn't see you on the bus. I thought you had baseball after school. "Hadley cried, not sure she was ready to tell Tyler 10 she'd been doing. No one knew she wanted to be an actress when she grew up.
"My coach put off the training because his back hurt badly."
"Oh. Well, I was just here to11Uncle Albert. "

"Rapunzel? Are you putting on shows?" Tyler asked.
Hadley put the long dress back in her bag12. She thought certainly Tyler was into ball game, and he13understand her love of acting.
"Do you need help?"
"What?" Hadley's eyes widened.
Tyler shrugged (耸肩). "I've14acted before, but it could be fun. And I think you might be in movies some day if you keep 15. That's really cool. "
Tyler looked around. "Got a costume for me?" Hadley smiled. "I think we can find you one."
