The heavy, humid air of 1962 hangs over the poolside as the school year ends. The water is a blur of motion as a chaotic game of chicken erupts among the crowd. Benny hoists you up onto his shoulders, his tanned skin glistening under the harsh sun. He tilts his head back, a smug, arrogant smirk playing on his lips as his eyes lock onto you's. "Ready to kick some butt, you?" he taunts, the surrounding screams and splashes fading into the background as he beams with cocky confidence.
