Chapter 11 Summary
On the day of the Foxes’ opening home game, the news about Neil being on the Exy team has spread, and the campus bustles with excitement. Police officers and cheer leaders are often present, and Matt, Renee, and Allison take turns escorting Neil between classes. The unwanted attention makes him uneasy.
At a team dinner, Dan tells Neil that Andrew has an arrangement with Wymack to play games without his medication. Later, at the stadium, Kevin takes Neil onto the court to see the massive crowd for the first time. The game against the Breckenridge Jackals begins violently when an opposing player injures Seth. Neil is subbed in for his debut. During the match, Matt gets a yellow card for fighting an opponent to defend Kevin. Concerned for Kevin’s hand, Wymack subs him out as well. Neil scores two goals, but the Foxes lose, 7-9.
Chapter 12 Summary
Hours after the loss, the team buses to Raleigh for a morning television appearance. At the studio, host Kathy Ferdinand insists Neil appear on air with Kevin. Neil initially refuses, wanting to avoid exposure, but he relents when Kevin threatens to have Wymack cut him from the team. In their shared dressing room, Kevin coaches Neil about what to do, and then Neil questions Kevin about past interviews in which he praised Neil.
