After eating a hearty amount of the food provided, the Oaks claimed their seats to spectate the race. They had broken away from Sepia and her parents not long after Sand and Allen left. They had only met this morning so there wasn’t much need to stay together, and finding seating at the race would be difficult for a larger group.
”Trad. How come you didn’t sign up for the race?” Fern asked as the three got settled in their chairs.
”Speed and agility... Aren’t really my things.” Trad replied thinking back to his pitiful run at the obstacle course on his first day.
”As the team tank I focus more on stuff like strength and defense.””And it’s clearly paid off!” Blad remarked eyeing Trad’s arm.
”What do you bench now six? Six fifty?”A smug smile crept over Trad’s face
”Maybe on my off days.”While the Oak boys talked about lifting, Fern spotted two familiar faces in the crowd.
”Hey, Trad. Isn’t that Sand and Allen over there? Who are they talking too?””Oh! That’s one of my other teammates Robert. And it looks like Priscilla is with him. Huh, I thought she left the school.” Trad wondered as he watched his friends interacting. Something was off though. The way Priscilla was looking at Sand seemed almost hostile, and Allen looked almost uncomfortable being there.
”Uh-oh. I know that look. That girl thinks the other is moving in on her territory. Might want to go help your friends out before either makes the situation worse.” Blad suggested to his son.
”I don’t know. Might be best to just let them sort this out on their-”“
Muffins?! Why the hell are you bringing my man breakfast?”
”I’ll be back.” Trad said getting out of his seat.
”Good luck” Blad called out leaning back in his seat before realizing his wife was now giving him a stare similar to Priscilla.
”What?””What do you mean ‘I know that look.’ You saying I get jelous?””No. I’m just saying I’ve seen that look a few times before?””When?””Well right now for instance””Before now.””There was that time I gave the neighbor a ride home.””Margret’s a floozy and everyone knows it! And it’s not like you haven’t had that look at other guys before.””When have I ever-”Shaking his head Trad left for his teammates while his parents continued their bickering. Pushing through the crowd he arrived just in time to see Sand extending her hand in an effort to make peace.
”Hey, everything alright over here?”@Guess Who@Lazo
