   I am enjoying being a War Eagle and playing soccer for Tangerine more and more every day. They have an amazing determination, and they always put in their best effort. It's amazing how serious this is to them. To them, it's not just for fun an entertainment, to them it's war, war to prove that Tangerine can compete with the bigger schools. They don't prove themselves with their words, they prove themselves by their actions. The War Eagles are some of the most skillful soccer players I have ever seen.
   Most of us from the team have science together, and decided to team up for a project assigned. Tino and Teresa pretty much selected our topic for us. They told us about their older brother, Luis, who works on their family's citrus grove and who created a new type of Tangerine, called a Golden Dawn. In a few days, we are all going to the grove, were Luis will give us a tour and tell us about the Golden Dawns. We are going to type our report on my dad's IBM, because Teresa only has a typewriter. 
Something shocking happened on the day were were selecting partners, however. Joey had been acting strangely during that time, and seem reluctant to work with the soccer team. Joey couldn't handle the teasing and remarks cast at him by the rest of them team, and it affected him more than it did me. One day, the soccer team took it too far, however. By insulting not only Joey, but his late brother, Joey got in a fight with Tino in the middle of class. He wasn't at school the next day, but I new exactly where he was: Re-enrolling at Lake Windsor Middle.
