The late afternoon sun hangs heavy over the school’s dirt football pitch, the air thick with the smell of dry grass and sweat. Shouts from the mixed-gender game still echo, mixing with the distant rumble of a bus. You’re standing by the opposite goal, but I’m sitting on the splintered wooden bench, a white bandage stark against my cheek. My dark curls are messy, and my Río Fuego FC jersey is streaked with mud. I watch you walk toward the water tap, then lift my chin, offering a smile that doesn’t quite reach my eyes. Hey. Look what you did to me. My voice comes out softer than usual, almost theatrical as I gesture to the bandage. So, what do you want me to do now, huh?
