[A - Action, Mayfield Elementary]

[The new kid with the bowl haircut seems a lot less nervous than before. Today he's proceeding through his school day with a smile on his face. He'll answer questions in class, he'll sit with you at lunch, he'll even play with you on the playground, but...]

Yeah! I'll be on your team! You guys are so awful, of

[Admittedly she's not the best at kickball, but still...]

Awful? We're not that bad, are we?

I feel the need to apologize for the dreadfulness that will follow.

[imjustpicky]

[He laughs, striding over to take his place on the team.]

Nah, I guess some of you guys are okay.

'cept you. Girls aren't any good at kickball.

So very dreadful, and me with no angry faces.

[dearwheatstew]

How would you know? I'm sure there's a lot of girls who are good at it!

pod!Picky deserves all the angry faces.

[imjustpicky]

It's okay! Girls are better at other stuff! Like baking. It makes up for the kickball thing.

if only!

[dearwheatstew]

Oh, well I guess I'm not that bad at baking...but I still think there's girls who are awesome at kickball. You just haven't seen them yet!

[imjustpicky]

Maybe there are! I don't know if you're one of them, though.

[He laughs. It's not a mean laugh, its tone is light and friendly. Which probably makes it all the worse.]

--Well you can find out!

[Because while admittedly she's still relatively new to kickball (and physical activity in general) this kid really makes her wanna score a point or two.]
