“Out of curiosity, Robin,” the younger-looking woman whose name I also didn’t know spoke up this time, “Why exactly are you so interested in sports now? It was my understanding from the last meeting that you had no interest?”
“A girl’s not allowed to change her mind?” I teased with a wry smile, causing them to chuckle then continued. “No, but to answer your question honestly, I never tried sports. I never had any… any drive, or desire to try because I was pretending to be a boy, and boys are scary to compete with, or against. To put it simply, I would have been a girl trying to play against boys.
“But as my real self, as Robin, I know that my friends, my teammates, and even the other team aren’t out to break my neck. We’re all competitive, sure, but for the most part not as viciously. Plus I’ve found that it’s really a lot more fun than I gave it credit for when I don’t have to worry about someone trying to prove they’re better by hospitalizing me.” |
