Common Denominator

After so many years of being divided into brains and brawn, Owen and I had both been fine with our roles. But when Coach Baxter called my name, I realized that I’d only been fine with being the brains because I never imagined I could be both things—a mathlete and an … athlete.

Oh, I liked the sound of that!

I lifted the white tablecloth at Jade Palace, smiling at the sight of my Nikes.

They really were magical. And even more magical?

Dad was proud of me.

I didn’t think I’d ever stop smiling, especially when I thought about those jump shots.

The truth was, I’d barely heard the guys cheering as I made each one. When I’d thrown the ball, I hadn’t been thinking about Owen, or making the Pioneers, or anything to do with basketball.

I’d been thinking about an egg.

Or, more specifically, a Masters of the Mind egg, thrown at just the right angle, with a built-in net for brakes.

I’d run through the list of challenge ingredients as I shot the ball again and again, trying to think of what we could use for our net.
