Sudden tragedy . . .
Terri Adams loves football. In fact, she's one of the Sweet Valley Gladiators' biggest fans. She's also the biggest fan of Ken Matthews, the team's quarterback. Terri thinks Ken has everything going for him - he's good-looking and popular, and he's led the Gladiators to an undefeated season.
Then one rainy night, Ken is in a terrible car accident that leaves him blind. His football career is over, and even worse, his friends are so uncomfortable about his blindness they avoid him. Ken would be miserable if it were'nt for Terri. She's the one person who is always there when he needs her. But when Ken realizes he's falling in love with her, he's convinced that she could never return his feelings. Can Ken and Terri ever become more than friends?
"Uh-oh, looks like flashing lights up ahead," Todd said.
"Looks like an accident," Elizabeth murmured, staring up ahead of them. "Todd, isn't that a white Toyota? Like Ken's?"
Todd stopped at the car and stared at the wreckage. The front end of the white car was crumpled up like an accordian. The windshield had a gaping hole in it. and there was shattered glass everywhere. "It's a Toyota all right,"
Elizabeth strained to see the back of the Toyota as they slowly passed by. Ken had two bumper stickers on his car. One said, "Honk If You Love the Gladiators." She tried to focus on the relatively unharmed bumper, but it was difficult with all the flashing lights. She was able to see the words "Love the Gladiators." She felt her heart leap in her chest.
"Uh, I think you'd better pull over," she told Todd. "I'm - I'm pretty sure that's Ken's car."
"No, it can't be!" Jessica shrieked. "How can you tell?"
"I saw something," Elizabeth explained. "But I could be wrong."
Todd pulled over to the side of the road, and the three of them got out slowly, afraid of what they would find. Jessica grasped Elizabeth's hand, Elizabeth held onto Todd, and together the three of them approached the scene.
