HIGH HEAT by Carl Deuker pages162-192

Shane's mon asked him to find a job by himself duning this summer. Otherwise, he is going to work at Pasta Bella. Few day later, Coach Grandison called Shane and gave him a job to be a referee in basketball games. The next day morning,Shane went to the weight room and did till to noon. He went to the gym and started his new job with a partner called Miguel Alvarez. Shane thought they had done quite bad, but the coach Falk said make mistakes is not a big deal, the most important thing is they worked as a team.
Shane's life was set, every day he does the same things. This day, Shane remembered that Miguel has asked him to come and play baseball, so he went to the Northwest Athletic Complex. Shane played quite well on that day. When they finished, Miguel told Shane that Reese was here yesterday. Shane didn't believe it. The next day, Shane realy met Reese in the field. They started to chat with each other and be friend. They played baseball everyday in the summer. School day started, Shane met Grandison in bus stop, Grandison gave Shane one more job, soccer referee, Shane accepted.
Shane went to see Mr.Ferris and asked if he can get into the University of Washington, but he didn't get good grades. He couldn't get in UW so he changed his mind to try Western Washington. Also, he tried to study hard and he got A's this time.
A couple of week later, Kraybill came again and asked Shane a few questions. He wanted to make sure that Shane is a good boy now. Kraybill said he will not come anymore. After that, they went to Romio's to eat pizza, but Shane didn't eat any. At that night, Shane couldn't fall asleep because he couldn't stop to think about Reese.

opinion:
I am glad that Shane can found a job. I think if Shane didn't have anything to do in the summer, he might hang out with some bad friends again. I don't want to see this. Now, he can be friend with Reese and play baseball with him. I think it is good for him. On the other hand, Shane and his mon want him to get in the University of Washington, but he can't. Maybe they felt disappointed, but I think if you can get a good grade, it is not a big deal which school you are studying in.
After I read these few pages, I learn one thing is if you work hard, you can gain what you want. I feel so happy that Shane got A's. Besides, it's great that Kraybill believed Shane is a good boy now. I hope Shane will not get in any trouble.
