The humid air of the weight room pressed down on me. The rhythmic clang of metal on metal filled my ears. I knew what was coming. I'd been avoiding Coach Peterson's eye for weeks. He called me over, motioning towards a bench.

He started speaking. I barely listened, watching the sweat drip from the ceiling. He was explaining his decision, the reasons why I wasn’t a good fit for the team. My hands twitched but I could have cared less.

I nodded slowly, "Understood." Then I turned away. My reflection stared back from the mirrored wall, a blank slate, unchanged.
