Maya
Hi, Night Owls! I've got an idea for a challenge, and please don't laugh. What if we all switched our phones off in the evenings? Just for one week, starting tomorrow.
Finn
Switch our phones off? For a whole week? No way, Maya! If I didn't have my phone for a week, I'd be bored out of my mind. Did your mum tell you to do this?
Maya
No, it's my own idea! And not all day, Finn. Only from eight o'clock until the next morning. The thing is, I'm always tired. Last week, I watched videos until midnight, and I nearly fell asleep in a history test.
Jade
Oh, I know that feeling. I'm tired all the time, too. OK, but a challenge needs points! You get one point for every evening without your phone. And if you do something new instead, you get a bonus point.
Leo
I'm in! And here's the prize: if we get thirty points together, we'll have a pizza night at my house. My dad makes the best pizza in town.
Finn
Pizza? I don't even like pizza! And falling asleep in a test? That happens to me every week. But bonus points? Now you're talking, I love points. OK, grand, you've persuaded me. I'm in!
Maya
Yay, thanks, guys! One more rule: at eight o'clock, we put our phones in the kitchen, not next to our beds. Remember, the challenge starts tomorrow evening!
Jade
Last free evening, Night Owls!
