"What are you babbling about?" Bender questions the nerd. Brian face slowly turns red at the attention he's given, Jordyn smiling softly at his reaction.

"Well I said I was–I'm in the math club, the Latin club, and the physics club." Bender nods his head, giving Claire a glance before asking her if she belongs in the physics club.

"That's an academic club," she responds.

"So?"

"So academic clubs aren't the same as other clubs."

"Oh, but to dorks like him-" he points at Brian, "they are." He turns his attention to the nerd, asking him, "What do you guys in your club?" Brian open and closes his mouth a few times before responding.

"In physics, um, w-we talk about physics... and the properties of physics." Jordyn has to bite his tongue to stop himself from saying how stupid that sounds.

"So it's sorta social–demented and sad–but social, right?"

"Yeah, well, I guess you could say it's a social situation. I mean they're are other guys in my club and at the end of the year we have a big banquet at the Hilton."

"You load up. Party."

"Well, no, we get dressed up, I mean. But we don't–we don't get high."

"Only burners like you get high," Claire remarks.

"And, uh, I didn't have any shoes. So I had to borrow my dad's. It was kinda weird 'cause my mom doesn't like me to wear other people's shoes," Brian babbled on, Jordyn giving the boy his complete attention. "And, uh, my cousin Kendall from Indiana he got high once and you know, he started eating like really weird foods. And uh, and then he just felt like he didn't belong anywhere. You know like 'Twilight Zone' kinda."

"Ha! Sounds like you," Claire says, pointing at John.

"Look-" Andrew starts, gaining his peers attention, "you guys keep up your talking and Vernon is going to come up here. And I got a meet this Saturday and I'm not gonna miss it because of you boneheads."

"Oh that would be terrible!" Jordyn moans, feigning despair. "To miss a whole wrestling meet!"

"Shut up!"

"Oh but I know the feeling. And I feel so bad because of it." Jordyn places his hand over his heart. "I have such a deep admiration for buff guys rolling around on the floor with other guys." A scoff leaves Jordyn's lips before he says, "And you call me a fag." The reddening expression on Andrew's face makes Jordyn feel evermore superior. He adds icing to the cake by saying, "And hey, if I ever wanted to join the team and be like you, all I would need is a lipotomy and some tights."

Brian makes it even funnier by asking Andrew, "You wear tights?" It makes Jordyn cover his mouth, trying to muffle the laughter.

"No! I wear the required uniform."

"Tights," John adds onto it, making Jordyn let out a loud snort, finding Andrew's situation to be fucking hilarious. His laughter is silenced though when Vernon starts moving outside the library.
