Here is the paragraph Erika tried protesting for a while, but she felt trapped. "As soon as the idea was out there, everyone jumped on it," Erika explained. "They kept telling me it would be easy. That I could save the season. That a real teammate puts the team first." Before she knew it, the team had drawn up a plan. Erika would visit Mr. Kelp's room the following morning. Someone would create a distraction down the hall. When Mr. Kelp investigated, Erika would grab a copy of the test from his desk. Erika wanted to say no, but between championships and friendships, there was too much to lose if she did.

In paragraph 3, Erika's teammates gave her many reasons to go along with their plan. What was an implicit message they were giving to Erika? If you do this, you can save the season. You can do this because it will be easy. If you don't do this, you are letting your team down. You should do this because a real teammate puts the team first.
