- world

- always
- fair.”Life
- isn’t
- always
- fair.
- You
- can’t
- control
- that,
- but
- you
- can
- control
- how
- you
- think
- and
- act
- when
- things
- don’t
- go
- your
- way.
- You
- have
- to
- hang
- in
- there
- and
- keep
- after
- it,
- not
- get
- down
- and
- give
- up.Derek
- has
- a
- lot
- to
- look
- forward
- to.
- School
- is
- almost
- out,
- his
- baseball
- team
- is
- competing
- in
- the
- Westwood
- Little
- League
- Playoffs,
- and
- then
- he’ll
- head
- to
- his
- grandparents’
- house
- for
- the
- summer.
- Sure,
- there
- are
- finals
- to
- study
- for
- first,
- but
- Derek
- doesn’t
- mind.
- Maybe
- this
- year
- he’ll
- get
- better
- grades
- than
- Gary.
- But
- when
- his
- best
- friend
- Dave
- starts
- to
- act
- strangely,
- ignoring
- Derek
- and
- canceling
- their
- plans,
- his
- summer
- isn’t
- looking
- quite
- so
- fun.
- What’s
- going
- on?
- Doesn’t
- he
- want
- to
- be
- Derek’s
- friend
- anymore?Derek
- is
- so
- distracted
- by
- his
- problems
- with
- Dave
- that
- he
- makes
- a
- mistake
- in
- the
- outfield
- during
- a
- key
- play—and
- his
- team
- loses
- the
- game.
- It’s
- so
- unfair!
- With
- the
- championship
- at
- stake
- and
- finals
- looming,
- Derek
- needs
- to
- stay
- focused
- or
- risk everything.
