Story:

Tom was sitting at his desk when his phone rang. It was his friend, Mike.

"Hello?" Tom answered, picking up the phone.

"Hey, Tom! It’s Mike. How’s it going?" Mike said cheerfully.

"I’m doing well, just working on a few things. How about you?" Tom replied.

"I’m good, thanks! I was wondering if you’d like to hang out this weekend," Mike said.

"Sure, that sounds great! What do you have in mind?" Tom asked.

"How about going to the new cinema downtown? There’s a movie I’ve been wanting to see," Mike suggested.

"That sounds awesome! What time does it start?" Tom asked.

"The movie starts at 7 PM. Are you free around that time?" Mike said.

"Yeah, that works for me. Let’s meet at 6:30 in front of the cinema," Tom agreed.

"Great! I’ll see you there," Mike said. "By the way, do you want to grab a bite to eat after the movie?"

"Sounds perfect! Let’s decide where when we meet," Tom replied.

"Alright, see you then!" Mike said, before hanging up the phone.

Tom felt excited about the weekend plans. He put down his phone and got back to work, looking forward to catching up with his friend.
