Ben is not going to the cinema with them. He is visiting his grandmother on Saturday. She is having a small party for her birthday. Ben is buying flowers and a cake for her.
On Sunday, Ben is playing football with his brother. They are practising at the park near their house. Their friends are coming to watch the game.
Mia is staying home on Sunday. She is studying for an exam. Her parents are helping her with maths. They are working through practice questions together.
Ben and Mia are talking on the phone now. They are deciding what to do next weekend. They are thinking about going to the beach. The weather is getting warmer, so a day at the sea sounds perfect.
