Attempt to convince Raymond.
You try, but the effort is futile! Raymond simply does not want to walk to the school gym all by himself. Darn it, this is what happens when you have to chaperon your younger brother to his sporting event.
You begin to think that your sibling roles are reversed somehow. No, no, that can't be! Oh wait yes it can, darn it. He is making you come with him. You thought that was a thing only older siblings did to younger ones. Is it? You don't know, you're the oldest one in the family!
By now Grace must be getting impatient. Also, you hope your laptop doesn't overheat; it was never designed to be tossed into a purse bag and just carried off in the heat of the moment!
Oh well, guess you'll just keep walking to the gym. Faster. Like, very much faster.
