Fill in the missing causes and effects provided in the chart below. . Late for School Alisa woke up for school at what seemed like an unusually late time; she glanced at the clock to see: 7:45. She should have been up 45 minutes earlier and had missed her bus already. Darting downstairs, she saw that her mom had already left for work. Hurrying back upstairs, she skipped her slow getting-ready-routine, in hope of catching a ride with her neighbor. She didn't want to be late to school because there were only nineteen days left, and she had perfect attendance the entire year. Hurrying back downstairs, she picked up the phone and dialed her neighbor's number. The phone rang, but there was no answer. She exited the door, stepping out onto the front porch, just in time to see the tail lights of her neighbor's familiar red car drive off into the distance. Sighing, she sank to the porch, unsure of what to do. After a little more thought, she hurried back inside, phoned her mom's nearby office, explained the situation, and then waited for her mom to return home. Less than happy, her mom pulled up in the driveway five minutes later.
