"A... tank top?" Jay asked, curiously. It wasn't that he wasn't grateful to get it, the kindhearted boy would have been happy with any reward, it was just that... while it wasn't the type of thing he'd normally wear. JJ was, without a shadow of a doubt, a geek. Skinny arms, an ugly face and not a muscle in sight, he was nowhere near the buff jocks who would normally be seen wearing a tank top.
