Lacking experience in any spring sport, Jordan and Drew end up in the lower-form baseball team with Coach Bumdoody. Unlike Mr. Roche, Bumdoody is mean and makes them carry equipment for the varsity teams. After their first game, Ashley tells everyone Collin is not a RAD student anymore. The school learned about his Hawaii vacation with Andy and revoked his financial aid status, which Jordan likens to a harrowing public service announcement in his sketchbook.
Without Collin, Andy becomes crueler toward Jordan’s group. When Andy picks on Ramon, Drew stands up to the bully. Andy says that it’s Drew who bullies him and insinuates Drew only got the quarterback position because of his race. When Drew tells Andy he mistreated Collin, Andy pushes Drew. Drew retaliates, and Andy slips on an apple and crashes into a table. Ms. Rawle blames Drew for the incident, and Andy lies about Drew starting it. Sick of these problems and his own inability to address them, Jordan explains the truth; other students and faculty members agree with him. Drew only receives cleanup duty in the cafeteria as punishment, which Jordan and the others help with. Despite puking from the anxiety, Jordan is happy with himself.
