Paul has to face the consequences of his own actions, too, and is expelled from his school for fighting with that coach.īut even with a criminal for a brother and a school expulsion on his record, Paul has never been happier. Wow-can you say evil?Įrik finally gets what's coming to him when he's caught stealing from the neighbors, and Paul seals the deal by telling the cops about his involvement in Luis's death. Erik confronts Paul afterwards, and his actions finally jog Paul's memories of that terrible childhood event-when Paul was in kindergarten, Erik and a buddy had held his eyelids open and coated his eyes in spray paint. This time, Paul gets involved, too, attacking a coach so Tino can make his getaway. The violence continues when Tino comes after Erik at a game for revenge. When Tino's older brother Luis finds Erik later to tell him exactly what he thinks of him, Erik gets his goon to knock Luis in the head with a blackjack, which, a few days later, actually does kill him. When Tino comes over to hang out with Paul one afternoon, Erik hits him so hard that Paul is initially worried he's dead. Not only is he mommy and daddy's pwecious bay-bee, but he's also an A-number one jerk. Unfortunately, Erik continues to mess things up for Paul. He ends up becoming such good buds with them all that he even chips in and pulls an all-nighter to help his new friend Tino save his family's tangerine grove from a freeze.

Fisher decide to transfer Paul to the school across town (well, thank goodness! At least they care enough about him to get him away from the gigantic sinkhole!), where he immediately gravitates to the soccer team. Football trumps soccer in the Fisher fam, so Paul's outta luck.Īs if always coming in second isn't bad enough, one day, a huge sinkhole opens up underneath Paul's middle school, and half of the school buildings collapse into the earth.

They're both obsessed with big brother Erik's unbelievable placekicking chops.

It's not all orange slices and juice boxes, though, because even though he's got some mad goalie skills, his mom and dad don't even seem to notice. Paul eases up on the zombie references once he starts school in Florida, because he's got something much more important, and much less creepy, on his mind-specifically, soccer. It also has something to do with his big brother, Erik. All he knows is that it has something to do with the crazy thick glasses he has to wear. But try as he might, Paul can't remember what it was. Dude's got some real fond memories of his childhood home, there.Īctually, Paul has good reason to get the heebie-jeebies as he bids farewell to his old stomping grounds. He and his family are moving from Houston to Tangerine County, Florida, and all he can think about is how his old house reminds him of an empty zombie tomb. Paul Fisher's got a weird obsession with zombies.
