Chapter 8: The Education System

The next day, I met up with Sarah, James, and Henri, as well as some of my other childhood friends Alex Russo, Justin Evans, and Max Greenwald at the Mount Lebanon Public Library for a discussion group on the education system. "Hi, guys!" I greeted my friends. "Hi, Angel!" Sarah greeted back. We jammed out to 98 Degrees and Lizzo prior to the discussion group. "This is a good library for a support group to meet, just like when I was in a support group," Henri stated. "How do you get to be in a support group, Henri?" Max asked. "Well, Max, it helps people be super active and super friendly," Henri explained. "I graduated from a very special school just for aspiring musicians," Justin explained. "I am sure you know what that is, James." "Of course I do, Justin," James replied. "It is none other than Music Support Group Academy." "We are excited to relive our best memories from band and teach other students about music, Sarah," Alex stated. "I am very excited for you, too, Alex," Sarah stated. "I graduated with being honored Salutatorian," Alex stated. "It seems like a lot of our clients are receiving Salutatorian, so way to go for teaching them how to be smart!" I happily exclaimed. "Can we come see you guys at Pie Night on Friday, and some of the football games, too?" Sarah eagerly inquired. "Of course you can," Alex replied. "You are welcome to attend all of these events, except for maybe not the away games depending on how far because we would love for you to see us perform." "Sounds great!" Sarah happily exclaimed. Then, we had an hors d'oeurve feast consisting of fruits and vegetables like Yukon gold potatoes, acorn squash. golden delicious apples, Bartlett pears, cranberries, navel oranges, cauliflower, white button mushrooms, portobello mushrooms, jalapeno chili peppers, plums, and honeydew, cheeses like white cheddar cheese, blue cheese, havarti cheese, Asiago cheese, brie cheese, and feta cheese, and pastas consisting of fine egg noodles, ravioli, farfalle (bow tie) noodles, macaroni, spaghetti, and orzo. After dinner, it was time for all of us to go home. "Thanks for a great day, everyone!" I thanked my friends. "You're welcome, Angel," Sarah replied. "Good night, guys!" "Good night!"
