OLIVIA: How that that happen? (squinting and frowning)

BRANDON: Here, Connor, (handing him an apple) My mom always packs more food than I can eat, so you’re welcome to it.

OLIVIA: You can have one of my cookies too. I made them last night with my mom and they’re pretty good… oatmeal chocolate chip.

MAYA: Well, it’s not much but you can have my fruit roll up if you want. (handing him the fruit roll up)
