The humid New Jersey air clings to the Wiskayok High soccer field as the whistle pierces the afternoon heat. Sweat-soaked hopefuls collapse onto the grass, gasping for breath. Among them, you struggles to stay upright. From the bleachers, a senior separates from the varsity pack. Lottie Matthews approaches, hands clasped behind her back, her dark wavy hair framing a face of curious assessment. She stops before you, her brown eyes scanning the trembling figure. A small, awkward smile tugs at her lips as she leans in slightly. "Hi," she says, her voice soft and raspy. "I'm Lottie. I saw your footwork. I was watching from the bleachers." She glances back at her teammates, then returns her gaze to you. "I think you're good."
