"There it is, the list. Who made first string, who made second string and who didn't even make the basketball team," Cory says as the gym teacher pins up the almighty list.
"What do you think is a worse, second string or not making the team?" Shawn asks.
"Easy, second string," I answer.
"What about second string or falling out of an aeroplane and landing on the empire state building on your eye?" Cory asks.
"That would be nearly impossible to accomplish," I point out.
"If you make second string, you still have to sit on the bench in front of everyone and your uniform's always clean, and you always get a high number like 867," Shawn answers.
"This isn't something the three of you have to worry about anyway. I'm 99% sure you all made it, " I say.
"Why 99%?" Cory asks.
"So even if, God forbid, none of you make it, I'm still right, " I answer.
"Fair, " Cory shrugs "Anyway we're not second-string, bench-warming, B-Team guys,"
"I made the B-Team! I made the B-Team!" Stuart happily exclaims, rushing over to us "Can you believe it? Wait 'til I tell my father!" he says before rushing off.
"Why don't we check the list? Just to make sure Coach spelled our names right?" Harris asks cockily.
The four of us walk over to the list.
"Hunter, Shawn - A-Team. Supriserama!" Shawn says, high-fiving Harris.
"Congrats, Shawnie," I say, also high-fiving him.
"Robertson, comma, Harris. A-Team. "Air" Harris. I like it. I'm gonna have to shave this, " Harris touches his hair.
"Cory Matthews, A-Team," Cory reads "Wait a minute, they spelled A with a B,"
"Maybe you're reading the wrong line?" I suggest.
"Matthews...B-Team?" Harris reads.
"Come on guys, it's gotta be a typo," Shawn says.
"It's handwritten!" Cory exclaims "I'm on the B-Team, second string. Just drop me on the empire state building, " he cups a hand around his left eye and mimics falling onto the point of the empire state building.
"Ah, so what?" Shawn asks, taking the basketball from Cory.
"Yeah, no big deal," Harris adds as the three of us start to back away.
"It doesn't change anything," I continue.
"I mean, it's not like your gonna lose your friends, " Shawn says before he and Harris run away.
"We can still talk outside of school, " I reassure him.
"Thanks, Liv, " Cory grins
"Just where no one from school can see us," I say.
Cory's face drops.
"See ya," I say before running after Shawn and Harris.

In class, Mr Feeny is showing us how humans have evolved. Stuart, Shawn, and another girl are standing up the front.
"Homo sapiens, " Mr Feeny gesture to Stuart, "Modern man. As you can see, he walked fully upright, had opposable thumbs and was known for..."
"A mother who labels his underwear," Shawn quips.
"At least I have more than one pair," Stuart retorts.
