chad had never been good at basketball. it was one of the few sports that he didn't excel at, and that bothered him to no end. to make matters worse, he wasn't even on the court. there were no opponents to dodge, or strategies to cook up on the fly. he was simply playing an arcade game where all he had to do was sink as many hoops as he could. he had only managed to score two points thus far but had refused to give up. when he spots a familiar redhead passing nearby, he calls out to evan.

"i hope varlinnis has treated you well." were they in more intimate circumstances, he would have dared to steal a kiss from dear bennett's lips - for yes, he thought he was speaking to bennett.
