She takes her phone and sits. Scrolls through it. Abram enters, drained of his former playfulness. Torie looks up at him, wanting to say something. Abram grabs a fresh test from Mr. Edwards' desk and takes it to his seat. Savannah eagerly waits on Tristen.
SAVANNAH
So? What's the first answer?
TRISTEN
Allied powers.
Flynn looks up, confused.
FLYNN
That's not right.
TRISTEN
What do you mean? That's what it says.
FLYNN
That doesn't make sense. Did you even read the question?
Tristen looks at the test. He makes a face as he reads through the answers and the questions. Tosses his phone on the desk.
TRISTEN
It's the wrong answer key.
Torie is typing on her phone.
TORIE
Mr. Edwards probably switched up the questions.
ABRAM
Why do we need the answer key when we have our very own Flynn?
Flynn looks at them one by one.
FLYNN
You want to cheat off of me now?
TRISTEN
Teamwork makes the dream work.
FLYNN
We're not a team, okay?
TRISTEN
I'll pay you whatever you want.
FLYNN
I don't want your money.
TRISTEN
Then what do you want?
FLYNN
I want everyone to stop treating me like I'm some kind of machine who just spits out information. I wouldn't even be here if it weren't for..
He holds his head, frustrated with himself.
SAVANNAH
If it weren't for what?
Flynn turns to Tristen.
FLYNN
I sit next to your pal, Vance.
He points over at a seat in the back right next to Savannah.
FLYNN
Right there. He told me that if I didn't help him with the test he was going to meet me after school and dribble my head against the cement.
