"Oh," I say, for lack of anything better. "Mostly I just hang out, I guess. Play video games." I shrug. "I'm going out for track in the spring."

"I did several at my old school, but my favorite is the 400."

"Reeeally…" Jasper draws out the syllable, lifting his chin as he narrows his eyes. "Looks like I have some competition this year."
