AAOOOSC! Wheatie Bits!

E. 2. "Meeting Reid" (2/4)

After practice, the Wheat Kings have returned to the locker room and are now dressing back into their street clothes.

Kale is leaned over, tying his black shoes. He tugs at his laces' bows then perks up at Reid, spotting him pulling his light blue shirt over his head.

"Since you're new here," Kale starts off cordially, "I'm wondering if you wanna get a bite with Pat and me."

Reid pauses his movements, his head replaced by his shirt, which is shifting as if it is an animated object. "Really?" he muffles out. "You're inviting me to eat with you guys?"

"Take it before I change my mind," Nolan snaps from behind him, taking a plastic bottle of water from his shelf.

"Awesome!" Reid yanks down his shirt, popping his head and his disheveled hair into view. "I'd love to go!"

An excited expression comes upon Kale's face. "Sweet! Where do you wanna go?" He points to him. "Your choice."

He peers up while rubbing his chin in deep thought. "I saw my favourite spot not too far away from here..." He then reverts his gaze back at him with a thrilled look. "Dairy Queen."

From behind him, Nolan lurches forward with puffed cheeks and his water bottle clutched in hand.

Kale stares at his suffering friend with a shocked look. "Whoooaaa, you okay there, Pat?"

Nolan swallows the water heavily and faces him with a tranquil expression. "Yeah, I'm good."

"Okay." He reverts his gaze back to Reid, returning his excited look. "Yeah, we'll go to Dairy Queen!"

"Yes!" Reid pumps his fists into the air. "Milkers on me!"

Kale knits his eyebrows in confusion. "'Milkers'? What on earth are milkers?"

He flashes him a kooky grin. "Milkshakes!"

"Ah okay!" Kale lets out a chuckle. "Funny name!" He then raises to his feet. "Well then, Let's go!"
