Tiny shook his head

“我当时忙着做拉伸，约翰说他会让汤米去拿。”泰尼说。

旁白 neutral

" But I still feel terrible about what happened."

旁白 neutral

" Maybe Cole isn't the only swimmer that Tommy wanted out of tryouts," Henry murmured to Maggie as they walked away

亨利和玛吉走开时，他低声对她说："也许科尔不是汤米唯一想踢出选拔赛的选手。"

旁白 neutral

" Maybe Tommy is trying to chase away all of his competition, including Daisy!"

"也许汤米想把所有竞争对手都赶走，包括黛西！"

" That's the only way he could ever make the team," Maggie said

" Let's go question him!"

She raced toward Tommy." Why did you give Daisy that towel?"

Tommy looked confused

He quickly changed the subject

旁白 neutral

旁白 neutral

" That way he'll have a better chance to make the team."

“这样他入选的机会就更大了。”

旁白 neutral

" Tommy?" Cole shook his head." No way. He's a nice kid

“汤米？”科尔摇了摇头。“不可能。他是个好孩子。

Tommy doesn't care if he makes the team or not."

旁白 neutral

Just then Kyle marched over. He was two years older than Henry and Cole
