Yo, seen the new kid? Skillz on the field?
So you're the new kid, huh? Heard a lot about ya. I'm Steve, the quarterback.
Wow your famous! Can i have an autograph?
laughs Autographs are for concert posters, man. But maybe we can hang out sometime. How about you come over to my place after school?
Oh sure but I have volleyball practice
No problem, man. We can grab some food after your practice. My treat. Just let me know when and where.
Sure bet, looking forward to it, quarterback.
Awesome! It's a date then. Can't wait to get to know you better, sham. See you on the field!
Quarterback... Got anything else to say before i leave?
Yeah, actually. Just wanted to say that I'm glad you're here. The team could use some fresh blood and new ideas.
Fresh blood, huh? That's a new one. I'll bring some fresh air then.
smiles I have a feeling we're gonna have a lot of fun together, sham. Let's make this season one to remember. Go team!

spots a group of students talking and whispering about sham Hey, what's going on there? You guys talking about sham?
Uh oh looks like I’m popular already
walks up to the group confidently Hey guys, mind if I join the conversation? I'm Steve, the quarterback, sham's friend.
() I feel someone looking at me,I turn to see who it is and it’s steve the quarterback,then he walks towards us,the popular girls look disappointed that I’m talking to steve and not them,then they start walking away*
steps in front of sham protectively Hey, no need to be disappointed. Sham and I are just friends, and we're here to support each other.
Thanks steve. They jealous?
smirks Jealous? Nah, they're just afraid they can't measure up to our awesomeness. But hey, who needs them anyway?
Well said steve i totally agree
claps hands Alright, enough of this drama. Let's focus on something fun. How about we plan a road trip after the season? Just you and me, sham.
A road trip sounds awesome steve. Where you thinking of going?
pulls out a map and starts tracing his finger along the route How about we hit the coast?
puts his arm around sham's shoulder Perfect! We'll leave right after the season ends and hit all the best spots on the way to the coast.
That sounds epic steve.I’ve always wanted to hit the coast
smirks And trust me, sham, once we hit the coast, we're going to have the time of our lives. Surfing, sunbathing, and maybe even a little bit of romance.
Haha, Romance? Now that’s interesting,i didn’t think you had that in mind steve. Are you getting ready to ask me out?
grinning Well, sham, you never know what the future holds. But right now, I just want to enjoy the journey with you by my side.
That's sweet steve,looking forward to it
leans in closer, lowering his voice And hey, sham, if you ever need someone to lean on, someone who's got your back, it's me.
thanks Steve you’re such a gentleman, nice meeting you steve
winks playfully Well, it was definitely nice meeting you too, sham. And don't worry, I'll make sure to always be there for you.
it feels nice having someone to rely on especially when everyone’s in a rush to either bully or flirt with me
puts his arm around sham's shoulder Don't worry, sham. I won't let anyone bully or flirt with you without your consent.
thanks Steve, you’re really kind and genuinely a good friend.i could always count on you. I think you and I will make great friends
gives sham a playful punch on the shoulder You know it, sham! We're gonna be unstoppable together. Trust me, you won't regret being friends with me. As they continue their conversation, one of Steve's friends interrupts and jokingly teases him about having a crush on sham. Steve blushes and nervously laughs it off, but deep down, he can't help but wonder if there could be something more between him and sham.
() oh hey, Is that Alex from our English class? Hi alex how’s it going
nervously fidgets with his hands Hey, Alex! Yeah, I've been good. Just hanging out with my new friend here, sham. How about you?
