Black and White Hearts

Chapter 14: Trances

"Alright we are on take six!" Patrick says while standing behind the camera.

Caleb and Sadie laugh a little while they go to sit down on the floor on the soft pink rug, going to lean their backs against the side of the bed, them facing the TV. After a few takes of them laughing in between their lines causing bloopers they are finally ready to finish the next scene of this take before beginning to move onto the next one. They both go to put their laptops on their laps.

"Woo you both got this! We totally aren't watching!" Millie says from behind the camera, Jenna standing next to her while eating the rest of her salad.

"Sadie I'm eating the rest of your salad hope that's okay." Jenna says while chewing.

"It's fine." Sadie says.

"Okay are we ready?" Patrick questions.

"Yep."

"Yeah we are."

"Okay one two three action!" Patrick says, him stepping back from the camera.

"So you connect this pathogen to that one and...there you go." Caleb explains, Sadie doing the required work on the laptop and it check-marking green to let her know she has the right answer.

Sadie laughs while leaning back a little and submitting the assignment. "Wow, you're a prodigy. Never seen anyone good at so much."

"Thank you." Caleb smiles.

"So did you move here out of you wanting to or your parents forcing you?" Sadie questions.

Caleb sighs a little while looking ahead of him. "They didn't exactly force me they were just trying to do what was best for me. I was at the top of all of my classes in school back in Georgia but...in the neighborhood I was in the board only thinks that guys like me are only going to have sure set success in sports." He explains. "Don't get me wrong I love basketball it's my favorite sport but I don't want to make a career out of it. I have other skills I want to put to the test. My mind, seeing how much I can figure out and help people when...you know they feel like their world has taken a drastic turn and they need someone to help them."

"Hence as to why you want to be a detective, to find the bad guys." Sadie says.

"Yeah." Caleb nods. "There just isn't a lot of people or people in the law that are willing to help the ones where I'm from, I need to be that person to make a change, to help those kind of people, help my people. Because just like the rest we deserve justice too, and respect." Caleb looks over at Sadie.

Sadie nods her head while looking at him. "You're right." She nods her head, sending him a small smile. "Well you are off to the right track, tryouts is almost done and I hear you are kicking ass."

Caleb looks over at her. "Where did you hear that from?"

"Some of the guys." Sadie shrugs in response. "They are definitely going to say that on the low because they wouldn't want Xavier to know they said it, so don't gloat about it in practice it will just only make him mad."

"So what I'm supposed to be scared of the guy?" Caleb questions.

"No just...keep a low profile." Sadie says back. "Because in the end they are all going to follow him, do whatever he says which means he holds the power in the team. You just don't want to get entangled in mess Kyler because it might hurt you. So just don't try and be rude, no matter how hard it is."

Caleb stares at her for a minute in response, her looking down at her phone. "So fashion designer?"

"Yep." Sadie pops the P.
