when a man that basically can't move because he just burned himself was laying helplessly in the pool, what do you do with him? you stick a cup on his head and get a bunch of tiny orange balls to throw in.
"oh close," audrey cringed as she watched benj's attempt at throwing the ball in before turning back to him. "so you're really done with singing, huh?"
"yeah, i'm— i'm— i'm over it." he spoke as both of threw the balls at mr. studebaker but missed.
"oh, that's too bad." she frowned, making him furrow his eyebrows. "for the record i always thought you had a nice voice— even though i never say it. kobe!" she smiled softly and threw a ball in without looking, hitting the target. she gasped when she noticed that it went in the cup.
"okay how are you so good at this?" benj groaned, his shoulders slumped.
"how are you so bad at this?"
"i don't know i suck."
she giggled at his response, shaking her head. "well, to be fair," she said, twirling one of the tiny orange balls between her fingers, "i am good at a lot of things."
benj rolled his eyes, but he couldn't help the smile that tugged at the corner of his mouth. "yeah, yeah, rub it in, why don't you?"
she shrugged, tossing the ball effortlessly into the cup on mr. studebaker's head again. "what can i say? it's a gift to be so good at everything."
"prove it." benj challenged the girl, suddenly getting this wave of confidence but he obviously wouldn't be able to use it because someone just had to ruin the moment. "what are you good at?"
"yo, there you are." ruby looked panicked, he had been searching for the freshman absolutely everywhere. "those guys from the skate park are here."
"what guys?" audrey questioned, though it wasn't directed at ruby but at benj.
