Chapter 1: Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald

The next day, I met Sarah, James, and Henri, as well as some of my other friends, Alex Russo, Justin Evans, and Max Greenwald, at the AMC Loew's Waterfront Theater in Homestead to see the new movie Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald. "Hi, guys!" I greeted my friends. "Hi, Angel!" Sarah greeted back. "How have things been lately, Sarah?" Alex asked. "Are you feeling well enough to do outings again?" "Of course I am, Alex," Sarah replied. "Just as long as I don't see Benedict here, that's all." "Didn't you get back together with Benedict once though?" Alex asked. "Yes, I did," Sarah replied. "Benedict was a lot like that guy Robert Bowers," I explained. "Thank goodness my Robert was not involved in the shooting," Sarah explained. "I got quite emotional over the shooting," I explained. "That church is right between where both of you guys live, with Sarah's house to the north and Alex's house to the south." "Aren't you guys going to get snacks with us, James?" Justin asked. "We brought veggies and fruits with dip, Justin," James asked. "So, go ahead and get the big tub of popcorn all you can!" "Are you sure you don't want to share any Wheat Thins crackers and dip, Max?" Henri asked. "No, I am going to buy myself a big carton of nachos, Henri," Max explained. "That's the snack I usually get," Henri stated. After Alex, Justin, and Max bought their snacks, we went inside the theater to see Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald. "This sounds a lot like the music we played our senior year of high school, Sarah," Alex informed, "and that was also when the last Harry Potter movie came out!" "That sounds cool, Alex," Sarah remarked. Sarah was eating carrot sticks with dip, while I ate apple slices with dip, and Alex ate a soft pretzel. Pretty soon, Alex and I ended up falling asleep during part of the movie. "Why is it that we always end up falling asleep during movies, Alex?" I asked my friend. "We were up late last night watching Saturday Night Live and didn't get enough sleep," Alex explained. We ended up going to Red Robin for dinner after the movie, where we all ordered burgers, steak fries, and freckled lemonade. After dinner, Alex, Justin, Max, and I ended up staying for my writing group in the Waterfront, and afterwards, they drove me back to my mom's apartment in Highland Park. "Thanks for a great day, everyone!" I thanked my friends. "You're welcome, Angel," Alex replied. "Bye, guys!" "Bye!"
