Kindle Notes & Highlights
Seth Gordon's unexpected overdose Saturday night should have meant something more to Neil since they'd been teammates and roommates for three months, but Neil felt nothing.
Rip to seth, he truly represented the three h's: horniness, homophobia, and hatred (for literally everyone). Fly high, man
yeah, sounds rough. Kevin and I talk about your intricate and endless daddy issues all the time."
It took him only a few seconds to realize the Ravens were coming. The entire team was crossing the court toward Kevin, walking in V formation like a flock of birds going south.
Despite being the best team in the league, they are theatre-kid levels of dramatic & cringe
"We are the Ravens' starting strikers. We wanted you to see us so you know what an offense team really looks like." "Offense, or offensive?" Matt sidled up alongside Neil. Renee's arrival might have been coincidence, but Matt's wasn't. Neil guessed Allison alerted the upperclassmen to the Ravens' approach. "Matt Boyd, starting backliner for the Foxes. I'm the one who's going to be wrecking your goals this October. Nice to meet you." He held out his hand but didn't look surprised when no one took it. "Guess the pleasure's all mine."
King shit
Neil thought about Renee's bruised knuckles, Dan's fierce spirit, and Allison holding her ground on the court a week after Seth's death. He thought about his mother standing unflinching in the face of his father's violent anger and her ruthlessly leaving bodies in their wake. He felt compelled to say, "Some of the strongest people I've known are women."
Feminist icon
All I cared about was keeping it together until May.
Omg he literally just had to hold on till may stoppp 😍😍
They were all enrolled in the same undergraduate degree and took their classes together in groups of three or four. They weren't allowed to go anywhere without taking at least one teammate with them. They weren't supposed to socialize with anyone outside the team.
Cult alert
Neil didn't have words, so he answered with his fist. He didn't have a lot of room to swing but he made do and caught Riko right in his vulgar mouth.
Get his ass!!!!
He was their family. They were his. They were worth every cut and bruise and scream.
