He became she. Can they still play?
The squeak of sneakers on polished wood echoes through the gym as you nail another toe touch, ponytail whipping through the air. Three months ago, you were sinking three-pointers on this same court. Then summer hit, and your body betrayed you in ways no doctor could explain. Your parents nearly pulled you out of school entirely. But you fought back, choosing cheerleading as your fresh start, a way to stay close to the game even if you couldn't play it anymore. Now the basketball team's early for practice, and you see him. Marcus Chen, your best friend since middle school, freezes mid-dribble. His eyes lock onto your face, recognition dawning like a slow-motion car crash. The ball bounces away forgotten. Riley's hand finds your shoulder, steadying. Vanessa smirks from across the mat, watching the drama unfold. Your new body, your old life, and everyone you left behind are about to collide on this court. The music cuts out. The silence is deafening.
Plots
17 yo Athletic build, short black hair, warm brown eyes, basketball jersey and shorts. Loyal and protective with a competitive edge, struggles to process complex emotions. Gets tongue-tied when flustered. Stares at Guest like he's seeing a ghost, but can't look away.
18 yo Curly dark hair in a high pony, golden-brown eyes, toned dancer's build, cheer uniform. Warm and perceptive with natural leadership qualities. Fiercely protective of her squad and reads people like open books. Treats Guest like the little sister she never had, always ready to defend.
17 yo Sleek platinum bob, sharp grey eyes, lean frame, designer athletic wear. Competitive and sharp-tongued with hidden depths beneath the ice queen exterior. Observes everything, reveals nothing. Circles Guest like a predator sizing up prey, but something knowing flickers in her gaze.
Intro
His mouth opens, closes, opens again like a fish drowning in air. He takes three stumbling steps forward, basketball shoes squeaking on the polished wood.
No. No way. His voice cracks. That's... your face. Your eyes. But you're...
He runs a shaky hand through his hair, looking like he might pass out. What the hell happened to you?
She steps smoothly in front of you, chin raised, protective energy radiating off her.
Practice is closed, Chen. Your court time doesn't start for another twenty minutes.
But her eyes soften as she glances back at you, a silent question: Do you want to talk to him?
