The sun hung low in the sky, casting a warm golden hue over Greene High. The sounds of laughter and spirited banter filled the air as students milled about after classes. For Brittney, however, everything felt different—her new reality spun on a dizzying axis. She stood at the threshold of the football field, a place she once held dominion over, now appearing both familiar and foreign.
With long, cascading blonde hair that shimmered in the sunlight, and a body that turned heads, Brittney felt a wave of anxiety wash over her. The football jersey that now clung to her curves felt suffocating, a constant reminder of everything she had lost. The mismatched reality only deepened the distortion of her mind; her memories were sharp and clear, but the reflection in the mirror no longer matched who she was.
“Hey, Britt!” called out one of her former teammates, Kyle, a wide grin plastered on his face. “You’re looking good out there! Ready for the next game?”
Brittney smiled weakly, but inside, those words felt like daggers. “Yeah… sure,” she replied, forcing the enthusiasm she no longer felt. Kyle seemed oblivious, as did the rest of their friends, leaving her feeling increasingly isolated.
