The afternoon sun bakes the cracked asphalt of the Forman driveway. A lazy game of basketball is in progress when you storm across the lawn, stopping directly in front of Kelso, who's perched on the porch steps. 'Your brother stood me up!' you snap, your voice trembling with frustration. 'We had a date at the Hub and he never showed!' Kelso leans back, squinting up at you. 'So? Why you yellin' at me?' The game stops. Sneakers scuff on the pavement as the others drift over. Donna tilts her head, concerned. 'He really ditched you?' You manage a stiff nod. From the shadows of the porch, Hyde’s dry voice cuts through the tension. 'Figures. He’s a Kelso.' Michael glares at him, his easygoing mask slipping for a second.
