Oh, you okay, Luis?

I'm gonna puke.

We're running out of players, Coach. Luis is the fourth Bulldog to get sick

the field. What is going on?

Today was Sushi Monday in the cafeteria.

That doesn't sound too bad.

They made it last Friday.

Yeah, that spicy tuna burned on the way down.

And on the way up.

All right, we need somebody to replace the Barr brothers.

So who's it going to be?

Put me in, coach. I'm ready.

My legs fell asleep from sitting on the bench so long.

But I'll be okay.

I'll just crawl it out.

That's okay, kid. Let it sleep.

All right, let's call it.

I'll see you guys at practice tomorrow.

And from now on, pack a lunch.

There's my boy!

Oh, uh...

Hey, Dad, I was just lying on the ground because I just laid a big hit on those

guys.

Attaboy, Newt. You're a real Vandero.

Get your guard up.

Yeah,

totally.

Nice right hook, Newt. Dad, this is our quarterback, Bella.

I've heard a lot about you.

I've heard about you, too.

Weren't you an All -American in three sports at Harvard?

That was a long time ago, and it was Yale.

But it sounds like Newt is really starting to take after me.

I can't wait to see him in action on Friday.

You're coming to the game?

Usually you have a meeting on Friday night.

Well, season's coming to a close. I don't want to miss the chance to see you

play. Are you sure you want to miss the meeting? I don't want you to lose your

job. I own the company, Newt.

Oh, excuse me.

I'm sorry, I gotta take that. It's the vice president.

Of your company?

No.

Hey! Hey, Joe, how's Barry?

Your dad's finally coming to a game. That's great.

No, it's not. He can't see me sit on the bench. He thinks I actually play in

these games.

He'll be so disappointed.

I need to come down with a serious illness.

I'm going to go see if the cafeteria has any more spiky tuna.

She got it going, going.

She got it going on.

Wellness is my only hope. My dad was an All -American at every sport.

But I can't seem to get in the game.

My dad's going to be so disappointed in me.

Maybe I can talk to Coach about getting you some playing time.

That'd be great.

Coach listens to you. You're the best player on the team.

Aw, thanks.

And the prettiest.

And the smartest.

And the best. New, I already agreed to do it.

Oh, good. Well, just in case, I'm going to keep this sushi in a warm, humid

place.

Sawyer's locker is perfect. He'll never notice the smell.

Wait, there's already sushi in here.

That's not sushi.

I don't know what that is.

Oh, it's moving.

Can I eat already?

Not yet. I need the perfect photo for the ClickPick food photo competition.

So, what do you get if you win?

ClickPick tags you in their weekly roundup.

So, what do you get if you win?

Two chocolate sundaes coming right up.

Rock, paper, scissors.

Lose or pay? Okay.

Rock, paper, scissors, shoot.

You lose. Paper covers rock.

Oh, that's not rock. It's fist.

You know what? I got this.

Ooh, and that.

Hey, you see anything you like?

Got my eye on something.

Oh, well, I guarantee you'll be happy with your choice.

I'm Troy. I'm Mia.

Mia? What a lovely name. Hey!

I can see your ice cream melting from here.

Some people are so rude. To be continued.

Sophie, you killed my game. I was about to get a date with that girl.

What's so funny?

Sorry, Troy. But that girl is way out of your league.

Uh, yeah. She's in high school. She's way too old for you.

Please, Troy can get a date with any girl, even a high school hottie. You

it. Age ain't nothing but a number, man. I just got a way to be. Make her miss

me. She looking at me?

She's ordering her ice cream.

She looking at me now?

Now she's paying for her ice cream. What about now?

Now she's living with her ice cream. How about... She's gone!

Coach, can I talk to you about Newt?

I think you deserve some playing time. Absolutely.

Great. How about in this week's game? Absolutely not.

Coach, I know Newt doesn't always make much of an impact on the field, but he

brings a lot of other things.

You know, intangibles.

So what are these intangibles?

Uh, good vibes, great hair, killer guacamole.

Personally, I think he uses too much cilantro.

Coach, Newt's dad is finally coming to a game, and Newt really wants to impress

him. I get it, Bella. Newt's a great kid.

He's got tons of heart.

But put yourself in my shoes.

Would you risk a whole season so one player could impress their father?

Well... Before you answer that.

Help! I'm stuck again.

Hold still.

Hold still.

You're on your own.

Seriously? Is there a position on the field that you would trust Newt in?

I guess you're right, Coach.

I really want him to play, but we can't risk our season.

Well, I'm glad we agree.

Now, can you please go help Newt squeeze out of his pads?

I'll get the coconut oil.

Troy, can we leave? I don't think Mia's going to show.

Yes, she is.

And I'm going to prove to you that there is no girl that's out of my league.

Okay, you've been here for three hours. You've tried every flavor. What's it

going to be?

I'm actually pretty full from all these free samples.

But I'll take a water.

Oh, I'll be over at that table. When you crash and burn with Mia, I'll bring you

ice cream to cheer you up.

Hey there.

Hello. Good to see you again.

Yeah, yesterday you walked away without asking what I wanted.

Well, I'm here now.

What can I get you? A scoop of the Troy with a side of these dimples?

Or how about a strawberry vanilla sundae? And make that to go, please.

To go?

Yeah. You work here, right?

No.

Then why were you wearing a yellow polo yesterday and asking to take my order?

You thought I was... Because I was wearing... Those shirts are yellow.

thought we were oh that's so cute again that's

wrong i'm sorry i guess i should have known you weren't a server you're way

young to have a job what are you in seventh grade eight and one semester so

seventh grade

Listening to music and I couldn't hear you.

You're not wearing headphones?

Yeah, um, the music was in my head.

You too? I also have an internal soundtrack.

It's thanks to rap sung by Kat.

Oh, cool.

Gotta go.

Oh, how'd your big talk go with Coach?

Oh, yes, uh, the big talk.

Look, New, I fought hard for you. I just couldn't convince him to give you a

shot.

Darn. I was really hoping you could change his mind.

Sorry, Newt. I tried.

I appreciate you trying, Bella.

You're a good friend.

Thanks. No problem.

You're always there for me when I need it.

So, not a big deal.

It is.

Seriously. You're the best.

Hey, Newt.

Listen, I know you really wanted to play in this week's game, but after a lot of

thought, we agreed the timing just isn't right.

Maybe next year.

We? Who is we?

I bet it's assistant coach Sanders. And I've been so nice to him, too. I even

sent him a fruit on a stick basket for his birthday.

I'm going to give him a piece of my mind. Newt, wait.

It wasn't coach Sanders.

It was me.

You?

You know how much this means to me. My dad's coming to the game.

I know, Newt, but put yourself in our shoes.

There's so much riding on this game.

We had to do what's best for the team. Best for the team?

The guy said the same thing when you tried out for quarterback. And you know

what I did?

I stood up for you.

Why can't you stand up for me?

Newt, wait.

Can't hear you.

Don't eat those nachos.

Sorry, Mama.

My stomach comes before your contest.

There's gotta be... someone in here with an appreciation for fine food

photography.

Hey, you!

Don't touch this jalapeno, Papas.

I feel terrible about Newt.

He was so devastated. I need to talk to him. Have you tried calling? Of course.

And I've texted him like a hundred times and he won't answer.

You're so lucky.

I wish I could get Newt to avoid me like that.

That's it.

Sophie, I need you to text him and tell him to come here.

Please, I'll do anything.

Okay.

One of my chores this week is to do my brother's laundry. That's 27 pairs of

dirty undies to wash.

You have nine brothers.

Shouldn't they change their underwear more than three times a week?

Yes, they should.

They really should.

I'm going to regret this, but I'll do it.

Great.

Use extra bleach.

I hope he shows up. Coming, Sophie!

Sorry it took me so long.

Bella.

Newt, I am so, so sorry.

I didn't try hard enough to find you a starting spot on the team.

But I'm going to make it my number one goal to get you on the field in front of

your dad.

Please believe me.

I don't know, Bella.

You told me before you'd get me playing time.

Yeah, but when I asked coach, I didn't have a position for you to play.

We're going to go out there right now and find one for you.

Well, I guess since my dad is coming, I could give it another shot.

Great.

Wait, Newt, how did you get here so fast?

Oh, I was in the arcade trying to win you the giant teddy bear.

I did my best.

So now you're here to make fun of my jump shot, too?

No. But maybe you should stick to football.

Look, I'm sorry about Mia.

I didn't realize how much you liked that girl.

So I came here to help you.

No. You were right, Sophie.

She's way out of my league.

No, she's not.

You're the Troy.

No one's out of your league.

Except me.

Or Bella.

And Pepper.

Or... You know what I'm saying.

Look, I appreciate what you're trying to do, but...

It's hopeless.

No, it's not.

You just need to find a different approach.

Look, Mia is in high school. Older girls like to have meaningful conversations.

Find out our interests.

Don't just flirt and brag about your dimples.

Who wouldn't brag about these dimples? Troy.

Okay, you're right. I'll start researching.

All right. Check our chit -chatter and click big pages.

Good thinking.

And maybe I'll just mention my dimples? I meant something a little deeper.

Deeper than B?

Do you know how many girls would kill to splash around in these love puddles?

Come on.

Don't say that to me.

Okay, Newt, we're not quitting until we find you a starting position.

We've got three spots where the team could use some help. The first is pump

returner.

How about running back?

Set, hut!

Nice effort, but maybe we should try something where you don't have to touch

ball at all.

Oh, Troy better get here soon.

All right. Go ahead. Take a picture.

Oh, no. You can eat. Bad news.

I didn't win the contest.

Oh, sorry. That is terrible.

What?

There's a new contest.

Pick some cute boys eating.

No. No more pictures.

Stop.

Whoa. I look good in this. I'll take another one.

Now we do a photo burst.

Come on, Troy. Where are you?

What? Troy?

What are you doing?

You don't play tennis?

Yeah, but Mia does.

This is never going to work. Shh.

I got this.

Hey, again.

Hey. Yeah, I just finished a day on the old tennis court.

You play tennis? Me too. I'm on the high school team.

Oh, yeah. We should play sometime.

The final score would be love, love.

So, no one with score point?

Uh, what I was trying to say was, you see, it was a metaphor for...

Hey, have you read this book?

Vampire Mysteries? I've read every book in the series.

Yeah, me too. I'm just rereading this one because there's some parts that

spoke to me.

Really? Yeah. Which ones?

My favorite part is when the vampire and the zombie got married and had baby

zombies. Yeah, I did not see that twist coming. Yeah, that's because it didn't

happen.

Troy, what's going on?

I'm sorry.

I don't play tennis, and I've never read those books.

Truth is, I think you're really awesome.

So I looked up some of your interests online, because I know that older girls

like to have meaningful conversations, and I wanted you to like me.

Troy.

I appreciate your honesty.

So, I'll be honest with you.

You're cute.

You're just way too young.

But maybe look me up in a few years.

Sorry, Troy.

Looks like it didn't go well.

Actually, it did.

I got a date with her.

Really? When? In a few years.

So, that's a win.

Troy, are you sure she wasn't trying to let you down easy?

I'm sure.

Now, if you'll excuse me, I've got to take some tennis lessons and get Newt to

read the vampire mysteries for me.

That would be really embarrassing if I didn't have a date.

The good news is now we know the positions you're not good at.

Please sit, Bella. I'm terrible.

Don't say that.

The only thing I'm good at is sitting on the bench.

Ow!

And I messed that up, too.

You were right.

Coach was right.

Everyone was right.

I'm never going to play tomorrow.

My dad's going to be so disappointed.

Hey, Bella, when you're warmed up, I need you to hold for Kenny so he can

practice his field goal kicks.

Wait a minute.

There's still one position we haven't tried.

Mine.

Are you crazy? I can't play quarterback.

Quarterback? No, no, no, no, no, no, no.

Field goal holder.

I didn't think of it before because it's not really much of a position, but if

you're okay with it... Okay with it? I'm only on the field a couple times a game

and I won't get hit? I was born for this.

Oh, forgot my helmet.

He's a great holder.

He does have pretty soft hands.

I moisturize.

And the field goal is good as we head toward the end of the second quarter.

Nice whole newt. Just keep it up.

All right, we're down by three. We only have time for one more play. A touchdown

would win it, but it's too risky.

We're going to kick the field goal and win it in overtime.

All right, kicking team, get out there. Come on, bring it in, bring it in.

And ready?

Will that snap?

at that snap. You're lucky he bailed you out.

I may have ruined the snap, but I created a legend.

I wouldn't have done it without Bella.

No, Newt, you scored.

You did it. But I'd never be on the field without you.

Newt! Did you see me, Dad?

That's my boy.

I just want to make you proud, Dad.

Newt, you're my son.

It doesn't matter if you score the winning touchdown or sit on the bench. I

always proud of you.

Really? Because I think I prefer the bench.

That spin move made me a little dizzy.

You can never disappoint me, son.

Unless you go to Harvard.

That dump? Not a chance.

Chapter 5.

Cassandra could not believe how alive she felt.

Especially because she was undead.

Really?

When is Newt getting here?

Look, he'll be here in half an hour. He didn't want to bring his signed copy of

book two, so he's out buying a new one.

Tori, why are we doing this all at once? You have plenty of time.

Look, I'm just trying to move up the timetable, all right?

Mia said to look her up in a few years, but I think I can get there in four

months. Now keep reading.

Chapter... 12.

No, no, no.

Ever since she felt the searing pain of Colin's bite, she was filled with the

newfound power, the ability to fly and solve mysteries.

Mysteries? I did not see that coming.

It's the title!
