I remember when I wanted to join the soccer team at my school but my mom kept saying no because one time I was playing soccer with my friends and I broke my ankle. She was worried that I would get hurt again. I kept begging and begging until she let me join. It was just like Mike trying to join the football team but her mom said no.

Mira wants Kevin to write her a poem but she doesn't know what it is. Amy really understands Kevin an has the same likes as he does. This shows that Kevin is liking more Amy because Mira treats him bad. Also Kevin has to understand that hid dad is happy with Anna. I think Kevin will like Anna later on.
