PAUL - Male, 12-14yo, All ethncities

Slightly older, slightly taller and definitely too cool for this town. Chika’s cousin, who used to be small, unassuming and bookish. But on his most recent visit to town, Paul’s got a backward cap, calculator watch and box-fresh new sneakers. Talk about rizz.  Plus he’s got hip-hop moves the likes the Dance Club has never seen. To the country kids, he’s effortlessly sophisticated. But beneath the cool exterior he is a nervous kid adjusting to change and looking to fit in. Chika was the inspiration for Paul to learn his signature moves – so all he really wants is to pop-and-lock with the gang.
