"Shawn, what are you doing here? Your supposed to be with Gus at practice, I was about to go pick ya'll up!"

Shawn looked guiltily down at the table.

"I got kicked out."

"What?! What did you do now!?"

"I got caught with a corked bat."

"Shawn! What have I told you about cheating! You know that's wrong!"

"I know! But I used to have the longest hits before that stupid Willis kid moved in. I just wanted to be liked again!"

"So you practice more! Cheating is never the answer!"

"I know."

"We'll talk later. Let's go get Gus."
