Amerie Wadia had an impressive talent for getting herself into everyone's bad books without even trying. Exhibit A: The Incest Map. B: SLTs. However, watching her run around on a wild goose chase trying to get a slap band for Dusty's gig was more depressing than satisfying. The poor girl was being messed about by her long term crush and she had no idea.

Using her legs propped up as an easel, Jack sat on the bleachers with her sketchbook while the basketball team practiced on the court. She had her headphones over her ears listening to a Tame Impala playlist to block out the sound of shoes squeaking against the polished gymnasium floor. Seeing as she'd finished the drawing of her brother, she'd moved on to a new drawing and though her model was currently running around the basketball court she still managed.

Just as she glanced over at Malakai to compare the rough outline she'd began with, Jack noticed Amerie enter the gymnasium and walk straight through the middle of the game to approach Spider who already had an irritated expression on his face before the girl had even opened her mouth.

Jack pushed her headphones back at one side so only one of her ears were covered and half-listened like many others were doing as Amerie practically begged Spider to sell her a slap band.

"Listen, you mayonnaise fuck. What is your problem with me?" Amerie demanded as Spider caught the ball that was thrown at him and was about to move away from the girl. Some of the other players 'oohed' childishly while Spider responded, "You're the reason we're in SLTs, Map Bitch." He spat.

"Well, SLTs is cancelled." Amerie told him, peaking Jack's interest, "So, what else?"

Spider clenched his jaw momentarily, "You really want to come?" He asked her, and Jack could tell he was just getting her hopes up. Amerie, however, didn't realise this. "Yes. Please." She pleaded.

"Hundred bucks then," he said spitefully before turning away and returning to the game.

Amerie turned back the way she came but was stopped by Malakai who gave her his slap band much to the dismay of Spider who looked on at the interaction with an irritated expression on his face. Jack caught Malakai's eye and sent him a questioning look to which he shrugged his shoulders in response. The PA system crackled to life and Woodsy's voice echoed around the gymnasium calling Amerie to her office. The girl did a weird dance as she left and Jack returned to her drawing after placing her headphones back over her ears properly.

By the time the period was over, her drawing was just about recognisable as a real person but still needed some work. The basketball team cleared off and so did the onlookers who'd also had a free and came to watch so Jack sat up properly and packed away her sketchbook into her bag and put her pencil and eraser away.
