 * Summary-**When Lincoln got home from practice, Roy was mending the front door. Linc told him about the intruder, Flaco, and practice. After dinner his mother told him to bathe and soak his knee. Afterwards she told him that he had mail. It was an envelope from Tony with $4 in it to pay off the bet, but no note. Linc thought of Tony. The next morning after breakfast Linc hobbled to school . He saw Monica, and apologized to her. As Linc ate alone outside on the bench, one of the teammates went by and told Lincoln that the coach was introducing the team in the cafeteria and that he was sorry that Linc wasn’t starting. Linc said I think you are going to lose and the player asked Linc why he said you instead of we. Linc did not explain, but said he had homework to do and that he would see him at practice. Linc went in the direction of the library and saw Monica alone. He went over, apologized, and told her about the intruder. He picked up her apple and started eating it. She grabbed it and said he was selfish. The librarian kicked them out for eating. Linc also told her about Tony and said you had to be there to understand. He walked her to class and she promised to be at the game. At practice James sympathized with Linc for the way the coach had talked to him and the fact that Linc wasn’t starting. James was excited that he was. Linc tuned out the coach’s pep talk.
