Ty,Tay, and Kyle walked down the hallway together as they spoke about Ty having to talk in front of the whole class. 

"What's the deal, it's an oral presentation. You can fake half of it as long as you do it with style." Kyle told him. 

"You could. I don't do the whole talking in front of the whole class thing." Ty said back with attitude.

"Should I apologize for taking all the charisma in the family?" Kyle asked as Tay shook her head at him.

"Not funny, Kyle." Tay said in a serious tone.

"Kyle! I'd I don't pass this, I'm on academic probation from the team. I need your help." 

Tay didn't worry about being on academic probation anymore since she talk with Maddie and Cal and started getting her grades up again. Even though it didn't matter cause she couldn't play with a broken arm anyway. Everyday she got more mad with Cal when they spent the whole practice in the gym stretching and working out one arm. The only positive thing is she's got her grip strength up from 60.1 to 63.8 in the past 4 weeks. She had two weeks left and then physical therapy and she'd be good as new.

"Say that again for posterity." Kyle asked him, messing with him.

"Coach saw your mom's posterity last night." Jackson walked by laughing and Tay reached out and punched his arm. 

"Ow." Jackson rubbed his arm and walked away. 

"That's not even what that means.... What's he talking about anyway?" Kyle asked

"I'll see ya." Ty told them then walked away.

"Wha.." Kyle said shook his head 

"Just leave him alone. He needs to cool off, I'll see you after school, bye." Tay told him ruffing his hair and leaving as they both chuckled

"Love you." She said

"Love you too." Kyle told her.

Tay knew how Kyle felt. Constantly being ignored by Ty and Bill. Before Tay did baseball she did softball and 90 percent of her games only Maddie came too. Bill came to about 2 games max because he was always busy practicing with Ty or watching his pactice. So she tried her best to always make Kyle feel included and not feel ignored. 

Later

Tay sat in Cal's classroom as he talked about the current subject they were learning and everyone in the class was either sleeping, on their phone, or just not paying attention.

"Now I know at least one of you beside Taylor can tell me the key elements of the Marshall Plan." Cal asked and nobody said anything. Tay sat in the front row playing a pencil waiting for someone to say something, "Let me remind you that participation is still ten percent of your grade and that some of you need it." Cal said as he looked at Tay who rolled her eyes, knowing no one was gonna say anything, "Let's see some hands." He said but still no one raised there hands. The door to the classroom opened and in came Maddie and Tay sat up from her slouched position surprised and confused. 

"Hey,um, I'm here for Annie Sullivan." She said as Annie looked at her her a minute then stood up and left. Cal looked down at Tay who shrugged her shoulders before relaxing back in her chair. 

After class

After hearing about Dana Sue Tay felt bad and went out to the school garden and picked two red roses before going back into the school and finding Cal. 

"Cal- Coach are you going to the hospital?" She asked finaling finding him walking towards the entrance door. 

"Yeah."
