Coach Fortes is the soccer coach and physical education teacher at Darius’s school. He’s generally cool and supportive of his students—he doesn’t punish Darius when Darius is late due to his backpack breaking, and he encourages Darius to try out for the school soccer team when he sees how good of a player Darius is.

I thought about Coach Henderson.
I thought about lack of discipline.
“I guess I didn’t think I was that good.”
“Well, you’ve got some skill. Why don’t you try out in the fall?”
My ears burned. I almost told Coach no.
Almost.
But that’s what Darius would have done.
Darioush would have tried out.
