Sarah thinks I'm cute | Shan's safe space.
"As the oldest," Corbin began in protest, crossing his arm awkwardly over his chest whilst still trying to grip his broom. "Iam keeping 'Stemp'. You can change your last name. Idiot." As the first born Stemp child, and the best Stemp child, and the family favourite, it was his right. His BIRTH right. So suck on that, Saffron.
.................... And while you're at it, have an eye roll.
A major, Lorelai Stemp worthy eye roll. "I did NOT have an accident. SHE -" Pointy pointy major pointing at his twin here. "- was an accident." And he was completely prepared, as only a nine year old could be, to pull his pants down and wiggle his bum around and show EVERYONE that no such accident had happened. Corbin hooked his fingers into his belt loops, ready for the big reveal, should it be needed.
Newly arrived person (Genny) was getting a grin until she PINCHED her nose and and seemed to be following Saffrons lead. Another eye roll for YOU, random girl. It was a good thing that Stemps didn't need friends. If the nine year olds eyes were going to roll anymore, they'd be rolling right out of his head. "I. Did. Not. Have. An. 'Accident'." Did they get that? Did stupid, idiot, laughing boy (Phillip) GET THAT? Nothing to see here, move long people. He wouldn't blush. Corby was PRAYING that he wouldn't blush, because that meant that Saffron won. And Saffron COULD NOt wIn.
He would not be remembering stupid's name. NO SIREE.
At least the other kid who'd laughed (Benton) had apologised, but either way, the two of them were getting some serious Corbin Stemp scowls.
"Sweet, bro." Corbin managed, giving the new kid who was trying to help a grin. At least SOMEONE believed him. He held out a fist to him (Vincent) and decided that he liked him. "Corbin. That's crap pants." He indicated Saffron with his other thumb over his shoulder. As other people joined the group, they got 'sup' nods and stuff, unless they laughed about the accident. And the boy who bumped into him (Cornelius): he got a scowl. A BIG scowl, no matter his apology. No one bumped a Stemp. At the sound of another kid (Henry) sort of standing up for him, Corb raised an eyebrow slightly, but gave another grin. "It's so not true. Making her a liar."
When Cam introduced himself, Corbin let his eyes wander to the adults, fingers tightening once more on the handle of his broom. A few laps? He could do that. he could probably do that better than anyone else here. Well, any of the other kids, anyway - he reckoned he was on par with the professionals. He gave a few nods of acknowledgement before wriggling his shoulders and stretching out slightly as Enzo introduced himself. Were they all doing names now? Would he have to remember them all?
Because it was doubtful that that was happening.
