Oh I guess I should've specified that it was ultimate frisbee. Kinda took that knowledge for granted. My bad. But hey, no worries dude.

About an hour after Cassidy had received Oliver's text he walks down to the courtyard. He said in the text message that he was finishing unpacking, but he had already done that all yesterday when he moved in. Cassidy thought it would be cooler of him to not let on he was doing nothing in his room but hope someone would invite him to do something.

He slips on his (black) converse and when he gets close enough says "It takes more than two people to play this game."

nailed it

Oliver had been lounging on a bench in the center of the courtyard, absentmindedly spinning his frisbee on his finger and listening to music, waiting for someone to show.

He looks up at the sound of Cassidy's voice and pauses his music. He rolls his eyes a bit. "Oh really? Well I guess I've been playing ultimate wrong all these years," the corners of his mouth turn up for a smirk.

"I'm sure other people will show," he sits up and goes back to spinning the disk on his finger. Then he pushes it up into the air, hits it with his elbow as it falls down and catches it on his finger again.

Show off.

He walks over and does the anime cool guy thing where you lean up against the opposite side of the bench and look over your shoulder. "You texted me an hour ago."

Oliver can unintentionally be a show off a lot.

"Oh, uh," Oliver looks at the time on his iphone. "I guess it has been an hour. Well I made a post in the network but maybe nobody saw it." He shrugs.

Too bad neither of them were the type to announce the event over a megaphone.

This time it was Cassidy's turn to roll his eyes. "You going to sit there all day and work on your tan or what?"

Oliver and him actually got on really well. Oliver was calm, cool, collected and confident. He was basically what Cassidy WANTED to be, but spent most of his time worrying about what other people think of him so wasn't anywhere near that level. He also had good taste in music.

He leaned over an patted Oliver's shoulder. Hella out of charcter for Cassidy Calloway, who jumps away when anyone is within 3 feet of him. While Oliver was distracted, he grabbed the frisby off Oliver's finger and jogged over into the field.

"I don't have all day" he said smugly.

Oliver can't believe he fell for such a common trick. Then again, tricks of any kind were rare from Cassidy so he decides to give himself a break on that one.

It was too bad Cassidy isn't going to be on the Ultimate team this year. Oliver considers him one of his pretty good friends but they don't really have any classes in common being two years apart. Now the one extracurricular they shared is gone as well. Guess he'll have to find ways to convince Cassidy to come out of his room a bit more this year.

He chuckles at Cassidy's smugness, stands up and stretches his arms, lifting his shirt a bit (to the delight of some nearby girls). "Alright Calloway, show me what you got," he taunts. Maybe some people will come to join if they see the two of them playing.

"Don't call me that." Cassidy moves the frisbee like he was shaking a finger at Oliver. "There are too many "Calloway's" at this school already."

Out of the corner of his eye he could see a group of girls whisper and point at Oliver while he stretched. Whatever. Just because he filled out over the summer and yeah, Cassidy couldn't deny Oliver was easy on the eyes, didn't mean he had to be showing off all the time.

Clint hit his growth spurt in sophomore year, and cassidy was banking on the same thing. Principal calloway was already tall and so was mom so it made sense, you know genetically. Even Cameron was scraping 5'10 as a freshman! It just better come soon. It wasn't cool having your older sister 3" taller than you.

"Yeah, yeah alright Cassidy," Oliver grins.

Oliver hadn't even noticed the girls and even if he had he would've just shrugged. He didn't mean for his shirt to lift up, that's just what happens when he stretches. Cassidy gives him too much credit.

"Well throw it already man. I seem to recall something about you not having all day."

Yeah. whatever. his first name was embarrassing it's not like he hadn't been teased about that his whole life or anything. Cassidy's father had said something along the lines of it being a strong name and that he would grow to suit it. In his opinion, Christopher would have been such a better choice. Or hell, Cameron suited him more than Cassidy.

"So much for being polite and waiting for you to stand up." Cas flung the disk to him. God damn Oliver had grown another two inches over was that really necessary?

Oliver takes a few steps back and catches the frisbee. "Yeah whatever man. So why aren't you gonna be on the team this year?" he asks, letting go of the disk at the end of his sentence.

The frisbee dips down, skims the ground, and raises back up as it sails towards Cassidy.

"Baseball is more my thing" Cassidy snags it without a problem. Whatever Oliver. "Hopefully you guys can find someone to pick up make up for losing me."

Of course the real reason was Cassidy was worried he couldn't keep his grades at their highest with ultimate cutting into his study time. He tried his best not to let on that he was actually one of those kids who had to read the material 3 times before he felt like he completely understood it.

Oliver nods. "Oh but we could never replace you Cass... Still, I think we'll manage somehow," he grins at Cassidy.

"But hey if you ever have some down time during practice feel free to join. I'm sure the team would be cool with it."

Well.
He sure as hell wasn't expecting the second bit. Cassidy was a solid player and interacted accordingly, but always felt out of place at social events with the team. Honestly that was just him being a normal teenager but Cassidy didn't know that.

"Uh, yeah thanks." He spits out, losing whatever cool guy demeanor he was going for.

Oliver notices Cassidy's surprise. Man that guy is too hard on himself. True, Oliver gets the impression that most of the team thinks is a little weird but they probably thought Oliver was a little weird. Who isn't a little weird?

Oliver looks around a little bit. "I'd hoped we'd get some people to join us, but maybe we're the only people left who know how to throw a frisbee... Wow, what a responsibility."

"Should have been running around shirtless like the football team does." Cassidy grinned his lil crooked smile.

"Damn why didn't I think of that?" Oliver grins back. "I always forget that being shirtless is the key to getting anything. The golden rule of manhood."

Oliver clutches his heart dramatically, faking solemness. "I have let you down my brothers... Forgive me."

Diedrich was passing by the courtyard when he stopped and watched the two guys playing frisbee. It looked like fun, honestly. Diedrich had never played so it could also be really boring. Still though, it looked like fun.

Cassidy shook his head. Now Oliver just looked like an idiot. He notices off to the side a kid standing watching. And cassidy sure as hell knew the look of wanting to join something but not knowing what to say. He had seen that plenty of times in the mirror and practiced controlling it so other didn't see it on him.

Cassidy catches the newcomer's eye and then turns to toss him the frisbee. "Looks like you got one more"

The frisbee ends up flying a little too high, so Diedrich has to jump to try and catch it and fumbles it up on the way. He breaks into a wide smile and laughs. "Sorry, I messed that up!" He then imitates what the guy had done and throws the frisbee back.

Oliver turns and sees the new kid. "Well look at that, guess we didn't have to take our shirts off after all."

He sees the kid struggle to catch the disk... but his toss back isn't too bad. "Hey kid, ever played ultimate before?"

Ultimate? Diedrich thought they were just throwing a frisbee around. What if there are rules?

"Uh, no I haven't. This is the first time I've thrown a frisbee before."

Who the fuck had never thrown a frisbee before?

"You need more than three people to play Ultimate" Cassidy says to Oliver.

"You throw it like this" Cassidy mimes the proper frisbee throwing movement for Diedrich. Sure he could have made a joke but that would be a low blow.

"I know how to play Ultimate, Cass," Oliver rolls his eyes. "I just wanted to know if he'd played before. Maybe get him interested in the team..."

Wow though, he's never even thrown a frisbee?

Diedrich just smiles nervously as the two talk to each other. They probably think he's an idiot now.

He does much better his second try on catching the frisbee and mimics Cassidy again. "Like this?"

"That's about all there is to it yeah." Cassidy shrugs

"Yeah... just throwing it like this isn't so fun after awhile, but there's cool tricks you can learn. And then there's Ultimate Frisbee. We were trying to get a game going but that... didn't quite turn out," Oliver rubs the back of his head a bit.

Diedrich's face lights up. "Tricks? What kind? What's Ultimate Frisbee like?"

Oliver briefly explains the basic gameplay of ultimate.

"...but as for tricks, pass me the disk and I'll show you some."

Diedrich listens with interest to Oliver's explanation.

"Oh, sure!"

Cassidy doesn't even try to hide the fact he is hardcore rolling his eyes.

Psh whatever Cassidy.

Oliver catches the frisbee and starts spinning it on his finger. He moves it under his leg and onto the next finger in one smooth motion. Next he rolls it along his arm, his chest and cross his other arm, grabbing it and spinning it on his finger again. Lastly he pushes it up into the air and kicks it so it sails over to Cassidy.

It's not showing off ok, the kid wanted to see some tricks.
