Chapter 6
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Students are gathering into the now crowded basketball arena, which is being temporarily turned into a volleyball court, with all the nets and Volleyball balls in a corner. The coach calls everyone forward, separating them into teams.
Team 1 consists of: Sora, Kairi, Yuffie, Naminé, some random people and fangirls. Team 2 has: Riku, Demyx, Tidus, Wakka, Selphie, few more fangirls, and random people, of course.
Riku is unhappy about Demyx and Selphie being in his team. Since he thinks Demyx is pretty much useless. He’s a loser in most people’s eyes; simply because our spiky blond is wimpy, pathetic and totally cowardly with absolutely no good qualities whatsoever. Quietly, he stands in the far end of the field, a dumb clueless look printed on his face.
Riku watches him from afar, frowning. Then he turns his head to study Selphie, frowning deeper.
"Damn it! I have the worst team ever. At this rate, I'll lose again! I can't afford to lose! I must win back my pride and dignity!” Riku thinks worriedly, recalling the last dodge ball match where he was disgracefully beaten by a girl. And Naminé, nonetheless.
Selphie is another big problem to Riku, since she tends to drool over him rather than play, or do anything for that matter. She is such a romantic; her head is always in the clouds. And she's extremely – and annoyingly, Riku adds mentally - hyper.
She's standing by his side, jumping from glee since she now knows she’s on his team. Tidus and Wakka – the other members of Riku's team, and his and Sora's friends - sweat drop, complaining to themselves about the teams, too.
At the other side of the net,Yuffie watches Selphie warily. Riku follows her vision and smirks. Slowly placing an arm around Selphie, who in response, turns tomato red and smiles at the floor like a love struck idiot.
“Jealous?” He asks mockingly, his infamous smirk on.
Yuffie snorts in response; then laughs out loud forcefully.
“AS IF! I’m just studying your team. Looks like you have a lot of losers!” She laughs hysterically at him some more. Turning around, she marches towards her team.
As the game is about to start, Yuffie checks her team, then focuses seriously on Namine.
“We HAVE to win against them this time too!! You beat the prick last time, use those skills again!! ALRIGHT!?” Yuffie instructs Namine, an aura of excitement burning around her.
Naminé suddenly becomes nervous by the sudden mass attention, looking down the floor shyly, she nods.
Sora quickly stands by her side.
“No worries, I’ll cover for her!”
Kairi and Yuffie sweat drop.
“You better cover for yourself, idiot.” Kairi murmurs.
“Yeah, you got hit by the ball a lot recently….” Yuffie hurriedly agrees. Sora pouts, looking away in dissatisfaction.
Yuffie slowly begins to smirk evilly, then places a hand on Kairi's shoulder and whispers loudly in her ear – loud enough for Sora to hear.
“Hey Kairiii, did you know? Love-struck people tend to space out a lot!”
Kairi’s eyes gleam mischievously.
“Truuue!” She agrees dramatically, nodding.
“YOU’RE TALKING ABOUT ME, ARENT YOU?!” Sora pouts, narrowing his eyes at them comically.
Kairi and Yuffie shrug dismissively, rolling their eyes and leaning on each others’ shoulders.
“Who knooows...” They mimic the fangirls’ habit of stretching words.
Sora fumes uncomfortably, crossing his arms and turning away from them in a childish manner.
But speaking of fangirls, out of no where, all of them come barging in.
“SORA IS IN LOOOOVE!?”
“WITH WHOOOO?!”
“TELL US TELL USSS!”
“TELL US!!”
“SORA CAN’T BE IN LOVE!!”
“HE HAS TO FALL IN LOVE WITH ME!!”
With the walls trembling from the sound, Sora beings to shake and shrink away from the anxious fangirls while Naminé sweat drops in the background, inching away from the commotion.
Meanwhile, Riku checks if all of his team is ready, but notices Demyx isn’t around. They look around only to see him making a so-called-sneaky attempt to escape the court. Tidus and Wakka catch him from the back of his collar under Riku’s orders. Demyx helplessly cringes in response, caught.
“Where do you think you’re going?” Tidus asks darkly.
Demyx gulps, chuckling nervously.
"Ehehe... Ba-bathroom...?”
“The game is just about to start, ya?” Wakka adds as they drag a wailing Demyx back to the team. Dramatically, he wails about how he’s going to die, he’s going to his doom, he’s going to be their doom, blah, blah, blah!
Riku looks down while shaking his head, ashamed.
“We're so gonna lose...” He thinks sorrowfully, sighing.
Yuffie catches his troubled expression and sticks out her tongue. Then they start glaring at each other competitively across the field.
Sora stands close to Naminé, willing to protect her against anything. Kairi mimics his actions by standing on the other side of her.
They glare.
Naminé sweat drops between them, thinking of strategies to escape.
The coach finally blows the whistle.
“Listen up everyone! Now, volleyball time! You know the rules! Get to your sides and START!!!” With that, he throws the ball at the first server and yells, “GO!!”
As the game goes, the ball is mostly thrown between Riku and Yuffie. All of the players aside from those two are now standing around, bored.
Some are even chatting with each other, like how Kairi is blabbering at Naminé, while Sora is glaring at them from his position, obviously jealous. Selphie is checking her nails and muttering something every few seconds. Tidus and Wakka are showing off to the fangirls, doing strange posses, hoping to get a fangirl club of their own. Some are folding their arms and watching as Yuffie and Riku pass the ball between them, leaning against the wall or sitting down on the ground.
Suddenly, Yuffie tricks Riku and aims for another location, where Demyx is.
Demyx, however, is preoccupied; checking his hair with a mirror he kept in his pocket.
“THE BALL!!” Riku yells at him madly.
“What ball...?” Demyx asks dumbly. His response is immediate. He gets hit on the head and falls to the ground instantly. “Oh... THAT BALL!”
He’s carried off the field, shouting his pleas on his wish for them being able to avenge him. His whole team is beyond angry, since Yuffie’s team just scored the first point. Riku vocally curses.
Yuffie and her team, on the other hand, are dancing with victory, Kairi and Sora rush to hug the closest thing to them - Naminé. Who freezes completely while turning red tomato. Sora then notices what he’s doing, and blushes from the contact, letting go quickly and dropping his arms to his side.
“What’s wrong with me?! The disease…. AGAIN?’ Slowly, he starts to feel faint and clutches his head for support. “What is Naminé doing to me...?”
Slyly, Kairi watches his behavior, smiling with pleasure at her plan's progress.
Sora’s fangirls, however, are seething and brimming with unhidden jealousy. All of them start making drastic attempts to have some body contact with Sora. Desperate to get the same reaction he gave to Naminé previously. Sadly for them, he is too dazed to even notice what is going on around him.
On the other hand, Yuffie is mocking Riku who protests that the game has just begun.
A 'Prick fangirl' who listened attentively to the whole thing, starts to get angry and jealous of Yuffie, so she purposely hits her in the midst of the game, making her momentarily lose concentration.
The ball flies aimlessly around the court…Time seems to stop as everyone's attention shifts to the ball soaring past Yuffie, only to be landing in Sora and Naminé’s direction!
Kairi instinctively yells at Sora to get it while Yuffie yells the same at Naminé.
Both Sora and Naminé go after the ball, and collide at full force instead. Naminé fell on top of him and accidentally sprawled herself all over his body. With such close contact, Sora involuntarily freezes. And with every passing second, he begins to reach his max.
"I can't... hold on... any longer...” He thinks frantically, slowly losing conscious under the pressure.
The ball finishes the job by hitting him right on the face and leaving him completely unconscious.
He faints.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Sora wakes up at the infirmary later. The first thing he sees is Tifa's delighted expression smiling angelically down at him.
He sits upright, then feels the plaster covering the bridge of his nose.
"The ball hit your face this time. Your nose was bleeding uncontrollably when they brought you here... Are you feeling okay now? Does it hurt somewhere?”
Sora looks down sheepishly, scratching his spiky brown hair.
"No, I'm fine.” He replies softly. “I can't believe I fainted again...” He adds to himself, frowning.
Tifa giggles. “Was it because... Naminé fell on top of you?”
“N-no!” Sora denies quickly, blushing and shifting uncomfortably. Then he freezes momentarily, and turns back to Tifa, a worried expression on his face. “What about Naminé? Is she okay??”
Tifa's smile stretches. “Perfectly fine!”
“That's good...” He breathes out with relief.
"Say, how is our plan going? Made any progress yet?”
Sora sighs, shaking his head. "Nope. None whatsoever.”
"Ahh...” She sighs disappointedly. “Why? Is she still ignoring you?”
"Not only that, she's especially cold toward me for some reason! It's annoying me!!”
“Oh, Namine...” Tifa laughs.
"She's purposely not speaking in front of me too!!”
Tifa shakes her head, smiling.
"Why is she so difficult?!” Sora complains, frowning. “I'm being as nice as I can be here!”
Tifa sighs again, then thinks to herself. A silent moment passes between them.
"I've got it!” She snaps suddenly, eyes bright.
“Huh?” Sora asks, startled a bit.
"I've figured a way that may help you get closer to Namine!”
“What is it??” Sora edges closer, his eyes widening with clear curiosity.
"Sharing interests!”
"Sharing... interests?” He drawls, blinking.
She nods forcefully, then begins explaining her plan.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
It's science class, and Sora, of course, has not attended due to his injury prior in PE. Namine is relieved. Now she won't have to bear with Sora annoying her in science class also, since he's her lab partner.
"I guess you'll have to be paired up with Axel for this experiment, since his partner is absent also.” The teacher decides.
Namine's head prostrates in despair.
“Great,” She thinks bitterly. “Axel is even worse!”
She looks up instantly at the sound of Axel pulling back the chair next to hers, a devilish smirk dancing on his lips. His appearance always makes Namine feel uneasy. Especially the tattoo under his eyes, it gives him a 'dangerous' visual aspect, and though some girls find it appealing, it is enough to make Namine feel wary. He's quite popular too, but not as liked by the majority of school like Sora and his friends.
"Hey there, doll-face!” He waves a hand at her face while winking.
A startled Namine diverts her gaze from him immediately, then looks down at her lap instead.
"Shy, are we?” She hears Axel say, an amused chuckle evident in his voice. “That's cool.”
To Namine's relief, Axel actually quit pressuring her after that. He was more absorbed in checking the chemicals and tools they're going to use for the experiment to bother with her. She sighs to herself with relief.
"Leave this experiment to me,” He tells Namine all of a sudden, checking some random tubes on the table. “I've flunked this subject four (...or was it five?) times, so I should know how to do this experiment better than anyone else here!”
“Amazing...” Namine thinks sarcastically, sweat-dropping.
"Amazing, huh?” Axel turns to face her with a smirk, snapping her out of her thoughts.
“I-it's like he read my mind!” Namine thinks frantically, her eyes wide open in shock. “He is so weird!”
"Y'know... Most people think I'm weird like it's a bad thing,” Axel muses out loud. Namine cringes. “But I say being weird makes you unique! Don't you think so too?”
Namine finds herself nodding subconsciously with dazed eyes.
"Mind reader!” She concludes, a fearful expression on her face.
Axel smirks with satisfaction, turning back to check the tubes. He seems to be especially keen on the ones with a red liquid in them. “Warning: Flammable. Nice!”
She shakes her head quickly while he's not looking.
“Snap out of it, Namine! Now... let's get this experiment over and done with!”
"Let's get this experiment over and done with!” Axel echoes out loud, causing Namine to freeze, a stupefied look on her face.
“Then we'll have time to chat and... bond.” He says the last part with a seductive wink.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"...And you have to show it to her tomorrow at lunch break!” Tifa concludes their plan with a satisfied smile.
“Alrighty!” Sora nods, grinning at the idea. “Just one problem...”
"Hmm?” Tifa tilts her head curiously.
"At lunch break... Where does Namine disappear to, exactly?”
She laughs, then points at the ceiling.
Sora's eyes widen. “SO YOU KNOW WHERE!”
"Of course. The roof-top!” She points up again, smiling at Sora's beaming face.
"FREAKIN' FINALLY!” He jumps up, punching the air excitedly. “I thought I'll NEVER find her hide-out!”
Tifa laughs some more. “Well, now you know!”
Sora nods, grinning from ear to ear. “Get ready to slap Riku... Kairi!” He tells himself quietly, snickering.
"Excuse me?”
"Oh, nothing!” Sora shakes his head, a sheepish smile on his face. “Well, I better get going now. Thanks, Ms. Lockhart!”
"You're always welcome! Take ca-”
Suddenly, as Sora is about to leave, Namine comes barging in, covered in a red liquid. At first, Tifa and Sora are gaping at her in true terror, both of them thinking that she's hurt.
"Tifa, please help me! Our science experiment blew up--”
They sigh in relief when they realize it's not blood. Namine stops immediately when she notices Sora, and closes her mouth instantly. Sora notes this and grins with total mischief.
"Who did you kill?” He jokes about her appearance, a giggle evident in his voice. He struggles to resist laughing out loud at how she looks, Namine realizes this and pouts to herself cutely while blushing with embarrassment and looking down at the floor.
Tifa laughs, causing Namine to pout deeper, then goes off to prepare clean clothes for her, leaving Sora and Namine in an awkward moment.
"The roof, huuh?" Sora teases with a grin.
She freezes, a question mark all over her face.
"Your hide-out during lunch-break..." Sora points out tauntingly, completely relishing the situation.
She cringes in defeat while he grins with victory.
"I'll see you there tomorrow!" He flashes her a playful 'I-win-in-your-face' grin one more time before leaving.
As soon as the door closes behind her, she sighs with irritation, then gets angry at Tifa for telling him when she came back with the clean uniform.
"Why did you tell him!?"
Unknown to her, Sora stopped to eavesdrop from behind the door. “Woow, Namine has some attitude!” He thinks, amazed.
Tifa smiles innocently, almost guilty.
"See, he's so mean! He just wants to annoy me..." Namine whines, pouting.
"You got it all wrong, he just wants to be your friend!" Tifa defends him.
Sora mentally cheers for Tifa from behind the door.
"You can't force people to be your friend!"
"Give him a chance!"
Sora nods to himself forcefully in agreement.
"No." Namine replies bluntly.
His head prostrates in despair.
Tifa sighs. "You're soo stubborn! You remind me a lot of your father..."
Sora nods repeatedly in agreement with Tifa's last statement.
Without warning, Namine leaves the room only to catch Sora eavesdropping.
They glare at each other blankly.
Then she opens her mouth to say "leave me alone" but she closes it quickly.
“No, I can't speak. He wants me to speak, so I won't!” She thinks with determination.
"Come on, take off your mask and show me the real you!” Sora thinks, anticipating her reaction.
Instead, Namine produces her sketchbook and shows him a certain page, the clown portrait to be exact, but this time, with a new addition: she has "annoying" written under it.
Sora gasps dramatically, gaping at it in disbelief.
She smiles, almost evilly, and turns around to leave.
He snaps off his daze and runs after her. "HEY!"
She yelps quietly, and runs for it. He chases her around the empty hallways persistently, but she is way too fast.
Tidus and Wakka and the rest of the team catch him from the back of his collar at one corner.
"Sora! Where were you?! The coach wants to see us for practice ASAP!"
"W-what...? NO, WAIT! WAIT I SAY!!” He protests as they drag him to gym.
Namine peeks from behind a corner and sighs with relief, Sora catches her figure while being dragged away and scowls.
"I'LL GET YOU NEXT TIIIME!!" He shouts at her from the distance.
"Who you talking to, ya?" Wakka asks suspiciously.
They look back, but Namine already disappeared behind the corner. The gang turn to look at him like he's crazy. He sulks to himself and let them drag him away.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
After practice, Sora is at the boys' locker, changing. All of a sudden, he starts chuckling to himself. Riku, Wakka and Tidus watch him like he lost his mind.
"Sora's been acting very funny these days, ya?" Wakka comments.
"Funnier than usual you mean!" Tidus adds, laughing.
Riku smirks, looking back at Sora. "Thinking about Namine?"
Tidus and Wakka zoom in at them quickly. "Who? Who? WHOOO?!!"
"Is she the same Namine Strife who beat Riku at dodge ball?!" Tidus asks excitedly.
Riku cringes, his eyes twitching comically at the memory.
"Ohhh. She is?!" Wakka and Tidus gasp in amazement.
Sora chuckles to himself some more, interrupting their conversation.
They stare at him like he's insane.
"He's creeping me out..." Tidus says quietly.
"Let's get out of here, ya?" Wakka and Tidus get out quickly, leaving Riku and Sora behind.
Riku throws his towel at Sora, who yelps then turns to glare at his attacker.
"WHAT!"
"What are you laughing about, idiot!"
Sora looks down sheepishly. "Oh, haha, I just remembered when Namine-"
Riku leaves right away when he hears "Namine", rolling his eyes.
"HEY! I DIDN'T FINISH!!"
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Sora and Kairi are at the lockers, getting ready to leave, since school's over for the day.
"How are you? You got hit pretty bad, I was worried." Kairi mentions the volley ball accident.
"I'm totally fine now, don't worry!" Sora assures her, smiling warmly at his best friend. "Oh! I forgot to ask you guys, who won the game??"
"It was cancelled... Coach is worried about you, said you 'don't seem to be in the right mind lately'" She says with a small teasing smile. "He's wondering what's wrong with you."
"I wanna know what's wrong with me, too..." Sora sighs, frowning at his locker. "Why is it so hard trying to be her friend?" He tells himself quietly.
Kairi sighs in exasperation, slamming her locker shut and then leaning on it.
"Isn't it obvious by now?! You're in LOVE with her! Face it! Deal with it! GEEZ, YOU'RE WAY TOO SLOW!"
Sora is taken aback by her outburst, and more specifically, her words.
"Wh-what... N-no I-I'm not... I m-mean..." He stutters, a perplexed expression on his face. "It's impossible! Namine and me... I don't think of Namine like that... Wait... Well, maybe a little... Er, whatever, it doesn't matter anyway! Namine doesn't like me. Not that I want her to like me! And plus she thinks I'm annoying!" Sora keeps ranting nervously. Kairi simply rolls her eyes.
"Admit it! You so desperately want to impress Namine! Just admit it to yourself already and give up!"
"NO!! LOVE CAN'T BEAT ME!"
At this instant, he sees Namine coming to her locker a bit further ahead of them and panics. "Na-Namine..!" He accidentally closes the locker door on his finger and curses, then brings it up to his mouth and starts sucking it. "Crap!"
Kairi snickers. "Sora, I think you should admit it to yourself before you get hurt."
Sora turns to her swiftly. "You're wrong! Wrong, I tell you! Namine and me will be just good friends! You'll see!!" He concludes determinedly with a clenched fist.
"We'll see..." Kairi shrugs innocently before turning to her locker, a playful smile on her face.
Sora pouts, irritated, but then a mischevious glint appears in his eyes.
"Oh, Kairi?"
"Hm?"
"You lose."
"Huh?" Kairi turns to face him, a confused look on her face.
"Riku is standing over there, why don't you go slap him now?" Sora points at a not so far away Riku leaning on his locker while checking his cell phone.
Kairi's eyes widen. "Don't tell me you...!"
"Yup! I win. I figured out where Namine hides during lunch break!!" Sora laughs evilly at Kairi's defeated, and dreadful, expression.
"Where?" She asks in a defeated tone.
"The roof-top." Sora replies, grinning from ear to ear.
She smacks her forehead. "Figures!"
"WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR, GO GO GO!" Yuffie startles them both by appearing out of no where, then pushing Kairi to where Riku is standing, and retreating instantly back to Sora's side.
"Yuffie!!" Sora blinks, surprised.
"Howdy!" Yuffie waves at him, then does the 'zip-your-mouth' gesture. "Let's just watch, okay? OOOH, THIS IS GOING TO BE GOOD!" She points back at Riku and Kairi, watching them with big anticipating eyes. Sora is watching them next to her, just as thrilled.
Meanwhile, Riku raises an eyebrow, looking at Kairi questioningly.
"What's wrong?"
Kairi advances carefully, gazing at the floor, obviously nervous.
Riku watches her curiously, then a smirk stretches on his face. He leans in, coming face-to-face with Kairi.
"What, are you going to confess to me or something?" He asks seductively.
Kairi's immediate reaction is to push his face away, so she slaps him. Yuffie and Sora gasp in the background, their eyes almost bulging out in disbelief.
"SHE DID IT!" They yell at each other excitedly. "SHE ACTUALLY DID IT!"
Kairi stares down at her hand in shock, then back at Riku, who's busy caressing his cheek where she slapped him.
"Geez, I was just kidding! You didn't have to take it so seriously!" He leans back, smirking a bit.
Kairi starts grinning slowly, then laughing out loud nervously.
"I...I DID IT!!" She turned to where Yuffie and Sora are standing, sending them the victory sign. "I DID IT!!"
Yuffie and Sora salute her from afar, admiring her bravery. Riku stares dumbly at the whole thing, then gives up trying to understand what's going on and shakes his head.
"I don't even want to know..." He says, walking way while wondering why his friends are such psychos.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
As soon as they leave the school building, Sora spots Namine walking ahead of them by herself and rushes to her. Kairi, Riku and Yuffie glance at each other with clear curiosity and follow behind.
"I FINALLY CAUGHT YOU!" Sora blocks her way, smiling evilly.
Namine steps back, troubled.
They glare for a moment.
Kairi appears behind Sora and smacks him on the head, breaking his glare.
"What are you doing to the poor girl this time!?"
Sora snorts at "poor girl".
Yuffie stands next to Namine, equally mad at Sora.
"Yuffie, you too?!" Sora asks in disbelief.
"Namine is awesome! She hit Riku at dodge ball, so I like her!" Yuffie explains confidently.
Riku cringes at the mention of it in the background.
"Again! They should forget it already..." He complains to himself.
"She's the devil." Sora mumbles to himself, crossing his arms behind his head carelessly.
Kairi and Yuffie gasp in shock while Riku raises a questioning eyebrow.
"It's true!" Sora insists, a teasing smile on his face when he notes Namine panicking a bit.
Kairi and Yuffie put an arm around Namine, scowling.
"What are you saying, Sora?! She's an ANGEL! Look at her!" Kairi hisses at Sora. Yuffie agrees, then snuggles an uncomfortable Namine tightier.
Sora gasps dramatically. "HAH! She may look innocent on the outside, but that's just a façade!!! She actually has one heck of an attitude!!!"
It's Yuffie's and Kairi's turn to gasp dramatically this time, while Riku simply stands coolly in the background, curious.
"Sora, what happened to you? How can you say this about Namine!?" Kairi demands.
He shrugs. "It's the truth! She's not timid, or innocent... She's wicked! She even called me annoying... and she drew a portrait of me as a clown!!!"
Kairi and Yuffie roll their eyes, not believing a word he said.
"Are you sure you're talking about Namine?" Kairi asks unsurely.
"Sora, you're such a liar! There's no way Namine would do this!" Yuffie adds.
Namine hides a small smile between them. Sora, being the only one who caught it, scowls. Then, quickly his scowl turns into a scheming smirk.
"I HAVE PROOF!" He exclaims, then snatches Namine's sketchbook from her and looks for the clown portrait, but unfortunately for him, he doesn't find it. He keeps flipping through the pages like crazy, but still there isn't a sign of it. "WHAT?! No way! It should be here, where is it?!" He glances back at Yuffie and Kairi, they're both glaring at him impatiently.
"You're unbelievable, Sora!" Kairi shakes her head, disappointed.
"IT WAS THERE! I SWEAR!" He glances at Namine, standing innocently between them. "She must've torn it off!!" Namine tries to hide a growing smile. "LOOK, SHE'S SMILING! SHE'S CONFESSING HER CRIIME!!"
Kairi puts her hands at her hips. "You want to die?!" She hisses dangerously.
"Never mess with Kairi when she's angry...." Sora thinks, gulping nervously.
"Don't mind him Namine!" Kairi tells her softly. Namine nods shyly, then slowly makes her escape.
"Bye bye!" Kairi and Yuffie wave goodbye at her from afar. Then they turn to glare at Sora, who looks down instantly, unable to meet their death glares.
"Come on, Riku!" Kairi snaps, huffing. They walk off, leaving Sora behind.
Riku stops when he passes Sora. "Smooth, man. Smooth." He jokes, smirking.
"Some day, I'll show you her true colors! I will show you allll!!" Sora puffs childishly then follows them, sulking.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Cloud picks up Namine, who is smiling when she remembered Sora's reaction. Cloud notes this when she gets into the car, and smiles warmly.
"You're smiling...." He points out happily.
She blushes and looks down at her skirt.
"How was your day?"
She smiles again, then looks out the window, and watches as Sora tries to escape the fangirls.
"It was... Amusing."
