Kindle Notes & Highlights
Dad grunted noncommittally, but I caught his slight smile. He was impressed too. Hard not to be with palm trees swaying against a perfect blue sky. Well, mostly perfect. Some clouds hovered on the distant horizon, but they didn’t diminish the golden California glow.
It's LAX in March/April. There are puffy white clouds and a whole lot of smog.
“Having both Kingman brothers as the foundation of our defense on both sides for the next decade? That’s the kind of dynasty move that wins championships.”
Average career of an NFL player is under 3 years. These boys play defense. If they last even half a decade it'd be a big deal.

What had started as a few threatening clouds had escalated with alarming speed into a full-blown storm. Wind howled down the streets, bending palm trees at alarming angles and sending beach umbrellas tumbling like colorful tumbleweeds.

Being the future first-round draft picks and the younger brothers of the Bowl winning Mustangs’ quarterback, not to mention future brothers-in-law with the one and only Kelsey Best opened doors in a celebrity obsessed town like LA.
It really wouldn't have. Also, LA is complete and utter hell for anyone who doesn't meet Hollywood beauty standards, so this is gonna suck for all three of you.
“If you were so proud of this career, why hide it? This could cause those of us who want actual respectable careers a lot of trouble in the future.”

Catalina let out a derisive laugh. “Please. They’re glorified bodice-rippers.”
Yoy literally gave her a copy to read
“No, you cannot,” Abuela agreed coldly. “And now you must face consequences. I’ve already spoken to my friend Senator Organa,” Abuela continued, ignoring Mamá’s interruption. “I explained that, unfortunately, you would not be able to accept the summer internship position in her office.”

First time the fans paid actual money to see what I can do.
You think college tickets are free? Hell high school tickets aren't free
