Chapter 31 Summary

Content Warning: This section of the guide contains descriptions of bullying, abuse, and anti-gay bias.

After her medical exam, Maya sends Ana a text that says they are at war. Ana’s reply is “you and me against the world!” (243).

Three hours into the bus trip, David sits alone in the front of the bus. He has a text from Kevin’s dad telling him what Kevin has been accused of.

Peter goes to the hospital and sees Maya, excited to tell her that Kevin has been taken by the police. But the sight of her in the hospital bed silences him. Maya tells him that she needs Ana, her guitar, and for him to talk to Leo and help him stay calm.

Maya’s nurse is Ann-Katrin. She is married to Hog and is Bobo’s mother. When Bobo texts her asking for news, she just tells him to focus on hockey. She doesn’t tell him that she is treating Maya.

On the bus, Benji stands and tells each player that David has always wanted them to focus on the things they can change. By the time he is done talking, the team is chanting “Win!” (250). David deletes the text from Kevin’s father, and they get off the bus.
