*Kareemo blabbers on for another couple of minutes about all the things he loves with the occasional added comment from Hamoudi. Just as Kareemo is listing every single animal he loves, (and Kareemo loves almost every animal except for spiders!) Jay enters the doors at the back of the room, and as he spots the boys, he starts to walk towards them*
Hamoudi: *grabbing Kareemo's arm* Kareemo! Look!
Kareemo: Oh no! It's Mr. Jay! Khalo's buddyguard!
Jay: Kareem! Hamoudi! Let's go!
Kareemo: HAMOUDI RUNNNNN! *he looks at the reporters* Thanks for the questions! No more questions! Bye!
*Hamoudi remains rooted in his chair, but Kareemo grabs a handful of cookies, before he slips out of his chair, and dashes down the aisle.*
Jay: Kareem! Come on, don't do this to me...*muttering* again...
Kareemo: *who is running down the hallway as fast as he can, cookie crumbs trailing behind him* YOU'LL NEVER CATCH ME! I'M SO FAST I'M THE FLASH!
*Jay sighs, and looks down at where Hamoudi is standing next to him, looking up at him*
Hamoudi: Do you want a cookie Mr. Jay? *he holds out a chocolate chip cookie, the pockets of his sweater bulging with more cookies.*
Jay: Sure, thanks *he pops it into his mouth, before taking Hamoudi's hand* Let's go catch The Flash, your parents are looking for you everywhere!
Kareemo: *yelling back towards them* I'M SO FAST YOU CAN'T EVEN SEE MEEEE!
