Fifty-Fifty: A split-second moment where two players have the exact same chance at the ball, the most equal moment in all soccer. Now that Daniel Nguyen's finally become captain as well as striker, Coach Parker's putting him up for scholarships. In his senior year, Daniel can finally relax. At least he could've, if it wasn't for Adrian Johnson, Track Star and professional JV bench-rider, who's suddenly been given a fifty-fifty shot at his position. Daniel trusts his coach but with a scholarship to keep, Everett tradition to uphold, and a family in recovery, it's all he can do to keep his head in the game. Adrian Johnson didn't care about soccer until this summer. Actually, scratch that. Adrian Johnson didn't care about soccer until the summer championships, when Everett's star striker forced him off the bench with the most beautiful goal he'd ever seen. What Adrian didn't expect the second he started caring was to meet his icon and then to be subsequently hated by him. (Never meet your heroes!) Now, people-pleaser he is, Adrian's on a mission to win back as many hearts as he can by graduation. His family's, his ex's, his best friend's, and, yes, Daniel's. Even if he has to steal it.All Rights Reserved
