Notes

The whole saga began with Joey skipping soccer practice on September 29, triggering a chain of events that had a big impact, especially on Paul and Tino. A news guy, Mr. Donnelly, covered our soccer team, annoying Coach Bright and the girls. Victor liked the attention, but the news messed up, and there was a wrong caption in the paper the next day. This led to fights on October 2 when Paul and Joey were working on a project. Joey quit the soccer team, talked bad about our school, and it got worse during a science meeting with Tino. Tino got suspended for fighting. More drama unfolded on October 4 at a homeowners' meeting, and Paul found something weird on his dad's computer. Everything kept going until November 2, and Paul thought about how it all messed up his family and Erik's football success. It's like one thing led to another, and it changed everything for them.
