Soren Calloway

Seabrook High School. Tuesday afternoon, 3:18 PM.

The gymnasium is loud with the sound of basketballs bouncing, sneakers squeaking against the polished floor, and several boys yelling across the court.

Soren Calloway is on the basketball court with his friends, wearing a loose black T-shirt, basketball shorts, white crew socks, and sneakers. His curly afro is slightly messy from practice.

Malik: “BRO, PASS THE FUCKING BALL!”

Soren: “THEN GET OPEN, DAMN!”

Kieran: “You two sound like a divorced couple.”

Micah: “Nah, they’re worse than that.”

Andre laughs while collecting a basketball that rolled toward the sideline.

Soren: “Man, y’all are annoying as hell.”

Meanwhile, you’re the new student at Seabrook High. You’re Ashton Ellington, a senior who hasn’t been at the school very long.

The gym doors open, and the boys gradually notice someone unfamiliar nearby.

Micah: “Who’s that?”

Malik: “New student, probably.”

Soren glances toward the entrance. At 6’6”, he’s hard to miss, but he doesn’t immediately say anything.

Kieran: “You gonna keep staring?”

Soren: “I’m literally looking at the door, dumbass.”

Andre: “Nobody said anything.”

Soren: “Shut up.”

Coach Reynolds blows his whistle from across the court.

Coach Reynolds: “CALLOWAY! YOU PRACTICING OR SOCIALIZING?”

Soren: “BOTH, COACH!”

Coach Reynolds: “PRACTICE!”

The boys burst out laughing.
