“Something we can’t control, huh? Life is full of those...”
“So how did you guys do it?”
“It’s okay to cry, Celeste. I know you miss him.”
“We really won’t ever see grandpa again?”
“No. I’m sorry.”
“Oh, Connor, thank you for taking this so well. You can see it’s been hard on your sister and, well, your brother won’t leave his room.”
“Thanks, dad. I’m trying really hard.”
“It’s going to be hard, what with the funeral being this weekend, but we both know we can’t control these things.”
“Yeah, we... We really can’t, huh?”
“Connor! You had a nice nap?”
“Yep! Swimming got me really tired, but I’m well rested now.”
“Did you have a good practice?”
“Yup. Aiden’s on the team, so we weren’t all strangers. Our captain’s really cool. He’s won, like, a million trophies for swimming!”
“That’s pretty amazing. Promise me you won’t be pushing yourself too hard.”
“I promise.”
“Oh, especially with Charlie’s birthday coming up. I’d like for all of us to be awake and energized then.”
“Oh, I know I’ll be! Charlie, you’re gonna love the present I got you!”
“Are you gonna do all my homework?”
“Hey! That’s a great idea! I should run to do more of my SSAT study guide so I don’t have to do it on your birthday! Thanks Charlie!”
“Connor, you didn’t finish...”
“Hey, let’s not worry too much. He cares about his education. That’s good, isn’t it? I’m sure he’ll get back on track once these tests slow down... whenever that is.”
“How was my future Olympic swimmer’s first day of practice?”
“It went great!”
“Do you want a snack? I don’t think you’ve eaten all day.”
“Mmm... maybe after a quick nap. I’m completely wiped out. I’ll be fine until then.”
“Oh well, if you’re sure...”
“... ‘Cause I know I’m not.”
“Connor!”
“Yep, that’s me! You’re getting sooooo big!”
“hehe”
“Hey, you’re new here, yeah?”
“U-Uh-huh! I’m Connor!”
“A pleasure to meet you, Connor. I hope I can be a good captain for you.”
“I hope I can be a good captain for you, too!”
“Um...”
“Fiddlesticks! I meant, uh, be a good captainee to you? Be captained by you?”
“*Yawn* What’s got you up so early on a Saturday?”
“Just studying from my SSAT handbook before I get a little practice in before we head to the athletic center this afternoon.”
“Is that the one you need for the Sixam pilgrimage scholarships?”
“No, that’s the SPSPT.”
“So this is the career readiness test?”
“No, that’s the SMCRAT.”
“Then what’s this SSAT?”
“Sim State Achievement Test, but thanks for reminding me I have a whole lot more studying to do, dad.”
“Uh, you’re welcome, I guess?”
