"It's not like he'll make entire list of activities for the year."
"I came up with an entire list of activities for the year!"
She grabbed his list from his notebook. "A free for all fighting game tournament? Trip to Asian Barbeque places in Manhattan? Eating with Chopsticks for dummies? Do we have the budget for that?"
"And you're going to be leading one of them," pointing to it.
"How to Draw with Manga Panels?"
"I'll do a day about making short stories, you'll be teaching everyone how to draw first so they can make their own ones. You can do the basics, right?"
"Teaching other people when I'm in a slump though-"
"Don't think like that. A beautiful flame burns just as brightly when it's passing the torch. Without cavemen, we wouldn't have light switches, would we."
"Wait, did you just call me a caveman?"
He sighed. "Our generation is doomed."
She sucked her teeth. "You're calling me stupid?"
"What, no, I'm just being profound!"
"I know I'm not as smart as you, but-"
"Whoa, relax, that is not true. I'm so stupid I went to prom with anyone 's girlfriend by accident. Besides, I've learned a lot from you!"
She crossed her arms. "Name one thing that you've learned from me!"
"Um," resorting to playing Jeopardy music to distract her until he came up with an answer.
"How to make my heart smile every day?"
Her jaw dropped, hiding her embarrassed face, and sighed. "Fine, I'll do it."
"Yay," fist punching the sky before picking up her wounded pride by her shoulder. "Let's rekindle your flame, pelirroja. Wanna be the graphic designer for the posters?"
That lit her face back up, immediately getting ideas.
