The vastness of the field felt daunting. Amelia ran her hand across the rough fabric of her new jersey. Her old one, with the number 7 on the back, felt like a second skin. Now, she was number 3, a defensive wingback.

The sun beat down on her back. She kept glancing at the offensive players, feeling a pang. She was accustomed to charging towards the goal. Now, she had to stop others.

She felt a strange, hollow feeling at the pit of her stomach as the whistle blew. She felt like an alien.
