Sure, let's pretend our friend is named Emily.

Friend: Hey there, how have you been?
You: Hi Emily! I've been doing well, thanks for asking. How about you?
Friend: I've been good too, just keeping busy with school.
You: Yeah, school has been pretty hectic lately. Have you been working on any fun projects?
Friend: Yeah, I've been working on a science experiment for class. It's been really interesting.
You: That sounds cool! I've been practicing for our upcoming school play. It's been a lot of fun.
Friend: That's awesome, I can't wait to see it. Do you want to hang out after school this week?
You: Sure, I'd love to! Let's go grab some ice cream or go to the park.
Friend: Sounds like a plan, see you then!

End of conversation.
