Black and White Hearts

Chapter 11: Doing Research

The way the 'filming' is going to go in this story is like a regular story, cuz I don't feel like doing so many 'actions' and 'cuts' and 'takes' I feel like that would be more confusing then with the way I am doing it now.

"Alright guys that's it be ready tomorrow too!" The coach says.

Caleb goes to run to the water fountain, him taking a long gulp of water before raising up and going to wipe his mouth a little bit, him making his way to the locker room.

The guys talk amongst themselves while they are in the locker room, most eyes going to turn to him when Caleb makes his way inside. Caleb doesn't even bother looking at them, him going over to the locker he put his stuff in, him opening it but not seeing his things. Caleb closes his eyes while he takes a little breath, telling himself to not let his anger unleash.

"Looking for this?"

Caleb turns around, seeing Xavier holding his backpack in his hand with most of the boys being behind him, most of them having their arms crossed. "Just give it back man."

"Just one question." A guy says, him smiling while looking around. "Bloods or crips?"

"Excuse me?" Caleb questions.

"What gang are you in Kyler?" Xavier questions with a smile, all of the boys going to laugh.

"Give me my bag." Caleb states.

"Why won't you answer the question?"

"What you're going to pull out a Glock or something and start shooting us?"

All of them laugh while Caleb just clenches his jaw, his hands going to slowly ball up in fists. "So is that what you all are? Kids?" Caleb questions.

"Yeah you're right here man." Xavier holds out the bag for him.

Caleb is about to take it but Xavier opens up the bag and dumps all of his stuff out of the bag before throwing the bag down on the ground, all of the guys laughing.

"Pick it up little scum." Xavier spits out, him going to walk off, the other guys going to walk off and some going to pat his shoulder.

Caleb looks towards the door when it opens, seeing the coach look at him before looking down at his things. The Coach just turns to his office before going in his office and closing his door behind him. Caleb goes to close his eyes before going to crouch down to pick up his stuff, hearing the boys throw comments his way but he tries his best to not listen to them, him just quickly getting his things before going to leave out of the door.

He goes to put his AirPods in, him just blasting his music in his ears while his hands are in his basketball shorts pockets, him going to walk home. He tells himself today he has to do a abundance of research, when it comes to job applications plus him just wanting to look up as much people as he can around here because he needs to become familiar of the people that he around plus if there is anything that he can use for protection to him and to also have peace.

He even looks around more, normally his walks were always peaceful whenever he finally got respect in his town. He was able to walk freely, almost everyone waving at him and smiling at him. But now it is different, everyone looks at him like he is some sick plague, him putting his hands in his pockets more while walking.

He finally makes it back to his house, him taking out his keys and going to open the door, him hearing laughing from the kitchen. "Mom?" He questions.

"In here sweetie!" Diana calls out.

Caleb makes his way inside of the kitchen, seeing Diana talk to a woman, him already recognizing her as Rosalie's mother. "Kyler this is Delphine she is our neighbor to the right, Victor and Rosalie's mother."
