Fourth floor common room, Monday evening

Marco had claimed the remote as his own and was now channel surfing from about a foot away from the television. There was a big, forgotten bowl of popcorn behind him.

"I don't know," Anders said. "That bit might not go over so well with all the parents. Speaking of which, how'd you end up here?"

"There was something about a lack of motivation with anything but basketball, and maybe some pranks that I still claim I didn't commit against the principal even though he had it coming," Jim said. "I think they felt I would focus better here."

Jim took a long look around. "That was probably a mistake."

"Yeah, but a plus for you, I'm thinking." Anders tugged absently at a stray thread on the cuff of his sweatshirt and smirked. "Dude, my mom wanted me to come here so I could focus on studying instead of playing Pyramid. 'course, my dad wanted me to come here so I could focus on playing Pyramid instead of being distracted by my mom wanting me not to, so . . ."

"You're a quiz show guy?" Jim asked. He only knew of the one kind of Pyramid, after all. "I never would have expected that."

Anders blinked and completely missed out on the reference -- hey, he'd only had one Pop Culture class so far. "No, I suck at those things. Unless there's sports categories."

Jim was confused. "I thought you said you played the Pyramid."

Anders was also confused. "The one and only, yeah! Best sport in the history of ever!"

"There's a sport called Pyramid?" Jim asked.

"Sure is," Anders said stubbornly. It was a good thing he'd left that court diagram in the pocket of a pair of jeans that went through the wash, or he'd be subjecting Jim to it now. "If I don't accomplish anything else before I graduate, I'm gonna make sure that Earth knows all about the awesomeness of Pyramid."
