 @Shaleen—Kaden in disguise as Nitro Nate… whoa, that would’ve blown my mind.

 ————

Some observations on Chapter 14 (Arabella):
> I’m not sure whether to respect Arabella’s unwavering commitment to investigative journalism—willing to be unpopular in pursuit of the truth—or to begrudge her the possibly off-base actions that will ruin a lot of people’s summers if she’s wrong about Mrs. Finnerty.
> We finally get to meet Nate! He does the whole noble and virtuous act of returning the library fine dollar, but his reaction about Yash’s involvement in investigative journalism makes me think I’ll hold on to my distrust for now. (Plus I know @Jade is a good judge of character and she says Nate’s nice, so I can’t decide to dislike him yet.)
> Anyone else given any thought to the meaning behind character names? Learning Nate’s full name inspired me to dig around a bit. “Breitmann” translates to “big guy,” which seems pretty appropriate for a football player. “Finnerty” means roughly “white snow,” which I would think symbolically indicates purity and innocence. (Maybe? I’m assuming we’ll eventually learn Coach really is qualified to teach.) “Kaden” means both a friend and an able fighter, and I can see how Kaden Cooperman might be both of those things for Yash.
