“It’s the last of the salats, daily prayers we do as Muslims.” He dusts off his ripped jeans, fixes his checkered flannel shirt. Ink- dark hair falls around his temples instead of standing in its usual sleep-mussed disaster. His view of Emir perched on his bed is upside-down. The vault inside is almost perfect, but Sebastian smacks his shoulder on the floor. Camp is almost over less than two weeks are left. Sebastian can also blame some of his bad decision-making on the fact that summer is ticking down. The guy can put away some Hawaiian pizza.
Free-for-all pizza was for dinner, so Willie conked out after the second episode. They were in their cabin, marathoning Stranger Things on Netflix. Of course, most of this is Willie’s fault. He should be on house arrest, not climbing through Emir’s window on a Wednesday night. Sebastian is almost ninety-eight percent certain that teenagers should be banned from making decisions during the summer, especially teens bored out of their skulls at night, like him. But to Sebastian’s surprise, sweaty days on the pitch, wandering the town’s streets, and bonding on the weekends sparks more than just friendship between them. Determined to reconnect with Emir for the sake of the Lions, he sets out to regain Emir’s trust. But when his estranged childhood best friend Emir Shah shows up to summer training camp, Sebastian realizes the team’s success may end up in the hands of the one guy who hates him. Bloomington High School Lions’ star goalie, Sebastian Hughes, should be excited about his senior year: His teammates are amazing and he’s got a coach who doesn’t ask anyone to hide their sexuality.
