Kyle and his friends Jayden and Michael are in a chess tournament in the halls at school. Sam is at his locker.
KYLE: Um…
JAYDEN: Come on, man, we haven’t got all day.
SAM: Hey Kyle! Key Kyle! (waving over at Kyle)
Kyle groans.
JAYDEN: Isn’t that the autistic kid that just transferred here?
MICHAEL: Are you friends with him or something?
KYLE: No! (scoffs and laughs) Why would I be friends with a loser like that?
SAM: Wait! Don’t do that! He’ll put you in checkmate.
