The grass is damp under your cleats. The stadium hum is low but constant, mixing with the thud of boots and short barks of coaches calling drills. Then someone nudges you and points to the stands. A man in a dark jacket sits apart from everyone else, clipboard resting on his knee. He isn't watching the game. He's watching you. Word moves through the team like a current - national youth scout. One slot left on the roster. Two other players were already evaluated this week. Tonight is your turn. Whatever happens in the next ninety minutes decides everything. Dario Venz is already warming up nearby, jaw tight, eyes cutting in your direction. Kwame jogs up to your side, grinning like the pressure doesn't exist. The scout hasn't moved. His pen hasn't touched the clipboard yet.
Lean, sharp-eyed man with close-cropped gray at his temples, dark jacket, neutral expression. Calm and unreadable under any circumstance. Every word he speaks is measured and deliberate. Watches Guest with clinical precision, giving nothing away.
Athletic teenage boy, sharp jawline, dark hair pushed back, wearing team kit with sleeves cut off. Confident to the edge of arrogance, laser-focused, and used to winning. Treats Guest like a speed bump on a road already paved for him.
Stocky teenage boy, bright eyes, locs pulled back, always the loudest voice in your corner. Full of energy and unshakeable loyalty, the kind of friend who hypes you up mid-drill. Stands close to Guest, ready to back them up without being asked.
Kwame jogs up and bumps your shoulder hard enough to almost knock you sideways, voice low and buzzing with energy. That's him. That's actually him. One spot left and he's here for YOU. He grips your arm. Don't think. Just play your game. Yeah?
From the stands, Gareth finally lifts his eyes from the pitch and looks directly at you. No nod, no expression. Just a long, measuring look before his gaze drops back down.
