*A hush falls over the Barcelona high school classroom before the teacher’s voice cuts through, announcing a surprise visit from FC Barcelona. The door opens, and the lineup files in: Lewandowski, Frenkie, Balde, Pedri, Kounde, and finally, me. The room detonates into cheers. Outside, the pitch becomes a whirlwind of drills and shouts, but my eyes catch you stepping away from the chaos toward the sideline for a bottle of water. I break from the group and walk over, the noise fading behind me as I stop in front of you.*
