Exhilaration | Shawn Hunter [Boy Meets World]

Quiz Show

I sat a seat away from Topy, my hands crossed in front of me. "Aw, man. If this goes bad, we won't be on TV," I state.

"Betty, relax. Mr. Feeny will work this out," Topy replied.

"What do you mean, forfeit?" Mr. Feeny questioned a woman. "My team doesn't know the meaning of the word forfeit."

"Look, High School Quiz Show has been on the air for 36 years. We are an institution. We've always had 4 players per team. We're not about to change that now," the woman answered.

I look to Topy. "You were saying?"

"But the bus broke down," Mr. Feeny continued. "It's not their fault that the bus broke down."

"Well, then how did they get here if the bus broke down?" The woman asked, motioning to Topy and I.

"Well, they were driven over by-" Mr. Feeny began until Cory sat on my right and Shawn sat on my left.

"Hey, Mr. Feeny," Cory said with a wave.

"Look, we're smart," Shawn added happily making me smile.

"Okay, we forfeit," Mr. Feeny told the woman.

She ignored him as she approached. "Boys, where do you go to school?" she asked.

"Forfeit! I said we forfeit!" Mr. Feeny spoke.

"We go to, um..." Shawn began before nudging Cory. "Hey, Cory, who's that guy?"

"What? The head in the hallway?" Cory asked.

"Yeah."

"That's John Adams' head."

"We go to John Adamshead high school," Shawn answered making me giggle.

"He's like a puppy, isn't he?" I ask the woman, wrapping my arm around Shawn.

"Woof," Shawn spoke, leaning into me.

"Which is why we forfeit, you see," Mr. Feeny continued.

Once again, he was ignored as the woman told someone on the crew. "Let's get them into makeup."

"Oh, no. For the love of God, no," Mr. Feeny uttered as she walked away.
