Left behind - Jordan Baker

The Cookout

Madison, Spencer, Patience, and Coop were all sitting around the table about to play a game when Coop's phone started ringing on the table showing the caller I'd said, Shawn.

"Not today, man. I'm just trying to enjoy this fine-ass food, this fine-ass company." Coop said pointing at Patience.

"Oh, my gosh." Patience said as she laughed.

"Come on, man, sit down. We can wild out later. Have a seat." Coop said

"All right. I didn't say anything." Spencer said as he sat down.

"Wow, Spencer has nothing to say that's a first," Madison said and they all laughed.

"What's up, Beverly Hills? Man, don't sweat it. I'll talk to you." Dillion said and sat down next to Jordan who was sitting alone.

—-Meanwhile In Beverly—-

Layla and Olivia walked into the Baker house seeing Billy looking at them walk through the door when she got up.

"Hey, aren't you two a sight for sore eyes? Hey, Layla." Billy said hugging Layla.

"Hi, Coach Baker. How are you doing?" Billy asked

"Dad, don't be weird. I literally just saw you this morning." Olivia said

"Oh, I'm just saying it's been a while since I've seen you two together," Billy said

"And on that note, we have a lot of work to do, so," Olivia said

"All right, well, what's the assignment? Maybe I can help." Billy said

"Dad, no," Olivia said

"Oh, we're doing a symbolic portrait of William Shakespeare, so using paint, collage, quotations, and stuff to dissect his real identity," Layla said

"Wow. OK. Ha. Back in my day, we just used to write papers, but, uh, have you seen the movie "Anonymous"?" Billy asked

"The Shakespeare fraud movie?" Layla asked

"That's the one. Yeah, so why don't you take a break and watch that? Uh, you know, you two have always loved a good movie day. I'll make the popcorn."Billy said

"Cool," Layla said walking over to the couch leaving Olivia standing there uneasy.

—-Back At The Cookout—-

"I don't know how to play this." Patience said

"I'm gonna show you, baby. Don't even worry about it." Coop said

"So why are we doing this?" Spencer asked

"'Cause I want to know how to play." Patience said

"Boy, shut up." Coop said

"Think Spence," Madison said

"Just show me." Patience said

"I got you." Coop said

"This is like nines. I don't know. I don't get it. I don't know." Patience said as Spencer waved Jordan to come over.

"You got it Patience," Madison said trying to show Patience how to play.

"OK." Patience said

"Hey, I'll be back I gotta check on the grill," Madison said

"Okay." Patience said and Madison walked over to the grill.

"Look at him. About time you joined us, babyface." Coop said

"It's Jordan," Jordan said

"It's Jordan. Look at you, sticking up for yourself. Hey, Jordan. I might like you." Coop said giving Jordan a handshake after mimicking him.
