If Gale doesn’t hang here in a sheepskin—Clark Gable smooth, Gone With The Wind and frankly not giving a damn, darling—he’s gonna hop the fence and buckle against John.

Summary
"Hey," John calls, grabbing it, and Jacob turns. "You almost left this."
Jacob looks pained. "Geez. I could've skipped homework and had an excuse."
He walks back toward John, who holds out the text. "Thanks," he says. He reaches out to take it. John's thumb presses against his nail for a split second and Jacob dies for a second time right there on the floor of Mrs. Engle's classroom.

Summary
Somehow Bucky got fully over him on the floor, laying with his forearm over Gale’s left arm and across his shoulders, putting all his weight on him and trapped Gale’s right arm with his other hand. Bucky’s weight pressed him into the ground on all four of his limbs. He went to try to throw Bucky off and realized in a horrible second that he couldn’t move an inch. He was beat. And Bucky was piss drunk for Christ’s sake. His eyes finally focused on Bucky’s, inches from his face, still, pupils blown wide in the low light. Suddenly it felt like the air was alive with static in the dry Texas heat. The zing of it went down his spine and settled low in his stomach. That horrible tense silence stretched another beat, and Gale felt like a trapped animal, caught, humiliated, and buzzing with a feeling he didn’t recognize. He felt his blood rushing, that hot adrenaline fighting flush. With horror, he realized just where his blood was going.

Gale gets into fights with purpose, a purpose he doesn't quite understand.

Summary
When Gale smashes a backhand, and Egan lunges for it, but the quick bounce spins it just past his racket, he stumbles, catches himself on his hands with his racket clattering against the hard court, and he starts laughing, wet and winded—laughing still as he straightens up, cheeks reddened, glistening under the sun. He scrubs the back of his wrist, his black sweatband, over his forehead.
“See? You love it when I make your dad mad.”
“Egan,” Gale warns, but all the authority is lost in his panting. Egan wipes his forehead again, racket tapping his thigh.
“Missed playing with you, Buck.”
“We played two weeks ago, in Cincinnati. C’mon, still your serve.”

Gale meets John Egan at a Challenger in Bordeaux when they're both 19 years old. After that, he can't seem to shake him. But what's more is, despite what his dad says about Gale's game, and what the commentators say about their rivalry, and what he's been told about tennis his whole life, Gale doesn't think he wants to.
