When someone comments that your team T-shirt is spelled wrong, and none of the ninth graders noticed when they designed it

When you win states, they blast "My House" on full bass, and your friend jumps down ~5 bleacher steps and lands it.

At one of the invitationals, my school had multiple teams. I was testing for Dynamic when one of my friends on a different team coughed extremely loudly so the entire room could hear. After this, his partner yelled out, "BLESS YOU" while being right next to him. Finally, the person who originally coughed yelled back, "THANK YOU" and went back to testing.

At the same competition, another friend was taking his test when the team next to him whispered loudly, "That's OBVIOUSLY the Mexican plate." A few minutes later, the same team said, "Isn't that plate made of shale?"

During States last year, there were only four boys on our team so we all had to share a room. I stood up a bit later studying for optics and look at my partner to see his eyes open but he's asleep. I was about to call 911. His eyes flew in the dark when we turned the lights of and didn't stop watching me until he woke up.
