So in a previous post I pondered whether the soccer tryouts were held the first day of school or the second day. I came to the conclusion that they were held the second day. Who holds soccer tryouts on the first day of school?
Well, according to the book I was wrong, they were held the first day of school.
Chapter 4, page 19
The first day of school was a maze of loneliness for Daniel. Everybody seemed to belong there except him. Several times he was sure people were talking about him, but it seemed impossible that he was already the talk of the school. Daniel tried to concentrate on his schedule, the school map, and his teachers' names. The only thing he really wanted to do was get to soccer tryouts. He needed to do something he was really good at.
At two-thirty, he changed into his gym shorts, jogged to the soccer field, and began dribbling the soccer ball along with fifty other hopefuls for the soccer team.
