It was gym class and the boys decided to play a fun pickup game of basketball, nothing too serious. They weren't even going to keep score, until Clive insisted on it. The game was pretty close, but soon Clive's team dropped behind a few points. Clive pretty much lost it. He started throwing elbows and fouling people. He pushed one player to the ground while he was attempting a layup, at which point Clive claimed that the player was doing it for attention.
