Chapter 6

Bucky couldn’t believe his ears. Benched for the ’Cats’ last game? He just couldn’t be!

This is all Stookie’s fault, he thought angrily. He’s trying to ruin everything!

The scrimmage continued, but Bucky was so worried about being benched that he couldn’t focus on goalkeeping. One ball after another flew by him and into the net. Finally, Coach Bradley blew his whistle to end the drill.

“Okay, that’s it for today,” the coach called. “Gather up the cones and the balls, please, and bring them to my van.”

Bucky helped the others collect the equipment. He kept a close eye on Stookie the whole time, ready to intervene if he started telling the coach about the car wash again. Stookie didn’t. Still, Bucky relaxed only after he saw Stookie climb into his mother’s car and drive away.
