This isn't how you survive Captain Leonardo Fiori's legacy OR his number. Cor knows she's small, and she knows she's not nearly as experienced as a lot of the beaters at the school, but she'd felt REALLY good about the groove she was getting in with Casper until she turned out to be a total WUSS. Who fumbles like that on their first game? Somebody who needs to get BETTER, that's who.

Today she's going to pout and be sullen; tomorrow she's going to the weight room to ask Mr. Thorn how to get bigger muscles. They seem to solve everything.
