What is the summary of Chapter 2?

World Record for the Fastest Tryout Ever – Ghost goes to watch the kids running at the track in the park as their coach runs them through exercises. The coach tells the kids assembled that they are part of the Defenders, one of the best youth teams in the city. He tells them that if they continue on in high school and do well, they even have a chance to go to college for free. A white-skinned black boy named Lu asks coach if it is true he was in the Olympics, while the coach tells him not to worry about what he has done, but what Lu can do. The coach then calls on the newbies to show off their skills. Lu runs very fast, while Sunny, a goofy-looking kid, runs a slow but steady pace; and Patina, tall and pretty, runs incredibly fast. One by one, the veteran team members race Lu. However, no one can seem to beat Lu, so Ghost decides to do so. It is then that the coach sees Ghost, and tells him to leave because tryouts were the previous week. Ghost urges coach to blow the whistle, which coach finally relents to doing just to get Ghost out. The two run so fast that the coach cannot tell who has won. Everyone cheers and is amazed.

The coach asks Ghost who he runs for. Ghost says he runs for himself. Ghost introduces himself, then the coach introduces himself as Coach Brody. Coach Brody realizes Ghost has natural talent, but Ghost says he prefers basketball. Coach wants Ghost to run for the team, and Ghost tells Coach his mom will have to approve. Even if she says yes, Ghost says he does not understand the point in running for a team because it is just starting and finishing. Coach tells Ghost that running for the team will actually improve his legs for basketball. Coach convinces Ghost to stay around for the rest of the practice, then drives Ghost home to Glass Manor in a taxi. Coach tells Ghost he makes a living as a cabbie, but does coaching for the love of it. On the way, they find Ghost’s mom, and pick her up. Coach makes his case to her to let Ghost run for the team, saying Ghost has serious potential. Terri worries her son needs to focus on school, but Coach reassures her that he will make sure Ghost always does his school work, will get home safely, and that if Ghost messes up just once at school, he will be off the team. Terri consents, because she says she will at least know where Ghost is after school. Coach then gives both Terri and Ghost his business card.
