He didn't know if he was ready to give up Exy again, either. It was the only thing that made him feel real.
📖 Sayfa 11 · The Foxhole Court, Nora Sakavic
"I will ask you only once to tone down that animosity."
📖 Sayfa 222 · The Foxhole Court, Nora Sakavic
"I can't," Neil said. "I have a bit of an attitude problem."
Riko's smile was all ice. "A bit?
Kevin didn't answer that immediately, likely figuring out the most tactful way to respond. "Let me put it this way: 'Three

can keep a secret if two of them are dead'.
“Oh Neil, as unpredictable as he is unreal.” Andrew said.
The Foxhole Court, Nora Sakavic
he'd been lying since he'd first learned to speak. what he'd just told andrew was fifty percent truth, the most honest thing he'd ever tell someone about his life, and andrew took it without batting an eye.
📖 Sayfa 207 · The Foxhole Court, Nora Sakavic
"Morning, sunshine," Matt said with exaggerated cheer.
📖 Sayfa 191 · The Foxhole Court, Nora Sakavic
"Fuck you," Kevin said.
Dan yawned into her hand. "Glad to see you're still a morning person."
"Fuck you too."
Kevin knew Neil was inexperienced, but he didn't forgive Neil for his mistakes.
📖 Sayfa 66 · The Foxhole Court, Nora Sakavic
Neil should know better than to believe such dangerous promises, but Andrew’s words haunted him every step of the way.
The Foxhole Court, Nora Sakavic
He was something solid to lean against, something violent and fierce and unmoving. Neil couldn't remember what it felt like to have someone hold him up. It was terrifying and liberating all at once.
📖 Sayfa 246 · The Foxhole Court, Nora Sakavic
"Oh, man. Neil, you clean up good. Can I say that, or is that
The Foxhole Court, Nora Sakavic
against the rules? Just—damn. Aaron, don't let me get too drunk
tonight."
Andrew stopped by Nicky long enough to pull a pack of
cigarettes out of his pocket. He lit one, never mind that the
dormitory rooms came equipped with smoke detectors, and put
his lighter in Nicky's face.
"Don't make me kill you," Andrew said.
Nicky held up his hands in self-defense. "I know."
"Do you?"
"Promise," Nicky said weakly.
"So what are you going to tell Kathy." Kevin asked.
📖 Sayfa 211 · The Foxhole Court, Nora Sakavic
"That I hate you," Neil muttered.
"You don't."
"How would you know?"
"Because if you did, Andrew would not let you anywhere near me," Kevin said.
Maybe he was already dying, his stupid soul fading from his short body in preparation for a brutal end.
📖 Sayfa 117 · The Foxhole Court, Nora Sakavic
''Hope was a dangerous, disquieting thing, but he thought
The Foxhole Court, Nora Sakavic
perhaps he liked it.''
"Oh, Neil, as unpredictable as he is unreal," Andrew said. "The last time we spoke you were afraid Riko would notice you. Either you lied to me or you changed your mind. I do hope it's the latter, because I hate being lied to."
📖 Sayfa 233 · The Foxhole Court, Nora Sakavic
"I didn't change my mind," Neil said, "but I didn't have a choice."
"There is always a choice."
"I had to say something."
"And what a thing to say! You took a swing at Riko on live TV. He's not going to take that sitting down, you know. How's that target on your back feel?"
"Familiar," Neil said.
“It's a cruel world, right Neil? You wouldn't be here if it wasn't."
The Foxhole Court, Nora Sakavic
"It's not the world that's cruel," Neil said. "It's the people in it."
Neil looked down at the key in his hand. "Home," he whispered, needing to hear it aloud. It was a foreign concept to him, an impossible dream. It was frightening and wonderful all at once, and it set his heart racing so fast he thought it'd drum out of his chest. "Welcome home, Neil."
📖 Sayfa 251 · The Foxhole Court, Nora Sakavic
"I will ask you only once to tone down that animosity."
The Foxhole Court, Nora Sakavic
"I can't," Neil said. "I have a bit of an attitude problem."
"it's not the the world that's cruel," neil said. "it's the people in it."
The Foxhole Court, Nora Sakavic
Andrew didn't care about his keys at all. He buried the ring in his pocket, feeling pinned in. How stupid, that someone so short could have such presence.
📖 Sayfa 32 · The Foxhole Court, Nora Sakavic
Neil watched him pass. Kevin was walking, but his eyes were barely open.
📖 Sayfa 205 · The Foxhole Court, Nora Sakavic
"Morning, sunshine," Matt said with exaggerated cheer.
"Fuck you," Kevin said. Dan yawned into her hand. "Glad to see you're still a morning person."
"Fuck you too."
Kevin slumped against the back of his chair immediately, looking for all intents and purposes like he'd nod right back off. Wymack smacked the back of his head to wake him up. "I hate you," Kevin said with feeling. "Breaking news: I don't care. This was your brilliant idea."
📖 Sayfa 204 · The Foxhole Court, Nora Sakavic
Aaron looked bored now that he'd fulfilled his duty in getting Neil here. Andrew was smiling, but Neil knew his cheer didn't mean he was going to play nice. He'd been smiling when he smashed a racquet into Neil's stomach, too.
📖 Sayfa 21 · The Foxhole Court, Nora Sakavic
The ball hit the wall in front of the subs and went careening away. Dan caught it before it went far and threw it to Seth. Her momentum sent her into the wall further up and the Jackal dealer slammed into her a second later. The wall shuddered under their weight. Dan practically threw him aside to get back into the game, and the subs pounded on the wall in support.
The Foxhole Court, Nora Sakavic
Don't look back, don't slow down, and don't trust anyone. Be anyone but himself, and never be anyone for too long.
The Foxhole Court, Nora Sakavic
“What would it take to make you stay?”
The Foxhole Court, Nora Sakavic
The question was so unexpected Neil had to turn back.
“What?”
Andrew laughed quietly at his shock and leaned forward.
“Name it and it’s yours. It doesn’t matter what it is so long as you stand your ground here with us.”
Overhead the announcer called out the swap: “Going on for Seth Gordon is freshman Neil Josten, number ten, of Millport, Arizona.”
The Foxhole Court, Nora Sakavic
“You could at least try,” Kevin said.
The Foxhole Court, Nora Sakavic
Andrew thought about it, then said, “I could, couldn’t I? Maybe next time!”
(…)
“What’s Andrew doing?” Neil asked.
“Nothing,” Aaron said, as simple as it was obvious, and they set up for another serve.
Kevin had Andrew to lean on, and Neil had no one at all to confide his hopelessness and loneliness in. Whether Neil left today or tomorrow or next week, he'd leave alone. Two, five, ten years from now, if Neil was even still alive, he'd still be alone. He could be anyone, anywhere in the world, but he'd be alone until the day he died. He'd never trust anyone enough to let them in.
📖 Sayfa 103 · The Foxhole Court, Nora Sakavic
She would never forgive him for this and he knew it, and that did nothing at all to help the clenching feeling in his gut.
The Foxhole Court, Nora Sakavic
“I’m sorry,” he gasped out between wet coughs. “I’m sorry, I’m sorry.”
"You waited for us," Andrew said with feigned surprise. "A liar who practices occasional honesty. Clever. Keeps people guessing. Very effective. I would know. I do it myself, you see. Come on, then. After you."
📖 Sayfa 105 · The Foxhole Court, Nora Sakavic
Watching Kevin going at it in the middle of the night, fierce and merciless, was almost enough that Neil forgave him. Kevin was more demanding of himself than he was of anyone around him. He set his standards impossibly high and tried for them with everything he had, and he didn’t understand why others wouldn’t do the same.
The Foxhole Court, Nora Sakavic
He hit full speed before he reached the street,
📖 Sayfa 84 · The Foxhole Court, Nora Sakavic
going so fast he was nearly falling over, but he couldn't outrun
his thoughts.
"He's defense," Dan said, looking at Neil, "and he loves body-checks. Don't get between him and the wall, Neil. He'll break every bone in your body if you give him the chance."
📖 Sayfa 186 · The Foxhole Court, Nora Sakavic
"Don't worry, though," Matt said. "He'll probably be too busy killing Kevin and Seth to notice you."
"This is my reassured face," Neil said, pointing up at his blank expression.
"Can I check on your head, or are you going to bite me if I touch you?"
📖 Sayfa 132 · The Foxhole Court, Nora Sakavic
"What did I say last night?" Neil asked.
"Nothing to me besides an admirably creative death threat."
"Such ingratitude," Andrew said. "Those drinks were expensive." "I hate you."
📖 Sayfa 130 · The Foxhole Court, Nora Sakavic
"Take a number and get in line with the rest of this team. I won't lose any sleep over it."
"Don't sleep. I'll kill you."
"I hate you," Kevin said with feeling.
📖 Sayfa 190 · The Foxhole Court, Nora Sakavic
"Breaking news: I don't care."
"Neden uğraşayım? Bu acımasız bir dünya, değil mi Neil? Öyle olmasaydı burada olmazdın."
The Foxhole Court, Nora Sakavic
"Zalim olan dünya değil," dedi Neil. "İçindeki insanlar."
"Ah, çok doğru."
"Believe this, Neil: you can't put a leash on me. Don't think you can, okay? And don't be stupid enough to tell other people you will. It's not safe. You'll make me want to break you."
The Foxhole Court, Nora Sakavic
"You?" Neil said. "You can't."
Andrew's smile curved wider. "Ohhh, that sounds like a challenge. Mother may I?"
Nicky waggled a hand at Aaron. "Quick. Have we said anything totally incriminating these past few months?"
📖 Sayfa 220 · The Foxhole Court, Nora Sakavic
"Aside from your endless inappropriate comments about what you'd like to do to him, I don't think so. Looks like you've managed to completely embarrass yourself in both languages."
"Someone needs to keep an eye on that idiot."
The Foxhole Court, Nora Sakavic
"Damn it all to hell. Hemmick! You were supposed to wake them up ten miles ago."
📖 Sayfa 189 · The Foxhole Court, Nora Sakavic
"I don't want to die," Nicky said.
We showed you our best, but we didn't show you what it cost us. We didn't want to believe we had limits."
📖 Sayfa 203 · The Foxhole Court, Nora Sakavic
"We have to talk. Something went wrong this morning."
📖 Sayfa 213 · The Foxhole Court, Nora Sakavic
"We're Foxes. Something is always going wrong," Seth said.
“It's about second chances, Neil. Second, third, fourth, whatever, as long as you get at least one more than what anyone else wanted to give you."
The Foxhole Court, Nora Sakavic
"it's not the world that's cruel," neil said. "it's the people in it."
📖 Sayfa 38 · The Foxhole Court, Nora Sakavic
“Money greases the wheels of the world easier than blood does.”
The Foxhole Court, Nora Sakavic
Had the game ever been his, or had it been pulling him to this point? Exy was the only bright point of his shattered childhood.
📖 Sayfa 46 · The Foxhole Court, Nora Sakavic
"Do you believe in fate?" Neil heard the faint scorn in the other man's voice.
📖 Sayfa 19 · The Foxhole Court, Nora Sakavic
"No. Do you?"
"Luck, then," Aaron said, ignoring that return question.
"Only the bad sort."
"We're flattered by your high opinion of us, of course."
Andrew put a hand to his forehead dramatically. "I think I'm coming down with something. Cough, cough. Best I leave before I infect your team. There's so few of them left. You can't stand to lose anyone else."
The Foxhole Court, Nora Sakavic
Neil felt Kevin's despair all the way across the room, and it was such a familiar feeling he thought he'd be sick.
📖 Sayfa 112 · The Foxhole Court, Nora Sakavic
"Do you remember this game? We're doing the honesty thing again, at least until I grow bored of it. In a moment you're going to be perfectly honest with me and tell me what I have to do to keep you here."
📖 Sayfa 226 · The Foxhole Court, Nora Sakavic
"Here's some honesty," Neil said. "I don't like you, and I don't trust you."
"University," he said quietly. It sounded like a dream; it tasted like damnation.
The Foxhole Court, Nora Sakavic
"Hey, Nicky," Andrew said in stage-whisper german. "Don't touch him, you understand?"
📖 Sayfa 58 · The Foxhole Court, Nora Sakavic
"You know I'd never hurt him. If he says yes-"
"I said no."
“I’m fine,” Neil said.
The Foxhole Court, Nora Sakavic
(…)
You say that an awful lot,” Matt said. “I’m starting to think you don’t know what it means.”
"How are you getting along with your teammates?"
The Foxhole Court, Nora Sakavic
"I'm pretty sure the majority of them are clinically insane."
"... you play like you have everything to lose."
📖 Sayfa 19 · The Foxhole Court, Nora Sakavic
She made him repeat every promise she'd ever dragged out of him: don't look back, don't slow down, and don't trust anyone. Be anyone but himself, and never be anyone for too long.
The Foxhole Court, Nora Sakavic
Neil meant to go after them, but he'd made the mistake of looking at Kevin. Once he met Kevin's eyes, it was hard to look away again. Kevin's expression was indecipherable. Whatever it was, it didn't look particularly happy. "This is going to be a very long season."
📖 Sayfa 45 · The Foxhole Court, Nora Sakavic
"I told you I wasn't ready."
"You also said you wouldn't play with me, but here you are."
