Ryan walked in to the cafeteria and scanned the room quickly.
He spotted Kyle with a group of boys on one end of the room and went to join

in a hurry.
"What was that all about?" Ryan wondered.
"Dunno, man," one of the guys said.
"So what's this about a new console..."

"Ok, well that's a different story.
"Yeah, but they're also gonna be here in about twenty minutes."
