There’s an avid roar of enthusiasm from the crowd in the stands as the game ends with the final goal.
The timer on the score counter above them runs out. Laura launches herself desperately into Clementine's ribs. As the rain eventually starts to come down, mingling with the sweat on her forehead, Clementine hears the final whistle blow. She collides with the rival midfielder on one particularly painful occasion yet she still sends the puck flying into their goal. Clementine goes skidding onto her knees a handful of times in the second half of the match has muck seeping into places that shouldn’t see the light of day. Although everyone is covered in mud from where the pitch is still soft, Laura says that they’ve trained for months and if their keeper can take a blow and still manage to save the puck from reaching the back of the net, they should be in for a strong win. Their goalkeeper has been hit in the face and has blood pouring from a gash in her lip, but Clementine stays optimistic. The Jefferson girls play rough, and it’s a tough match, but by the time half-time ticks around the crowd are wild as the schools are drawing with even points. "It’s supposed to be about technique," she says.Īnd indeed it really is. "God," whispers Jessica, taking her usual place in the front of the pitch, "look at these girls! They're built like tanks."Ĭlementine grimaces as the other team make their way out. There’s a school banner flying high in the sky, blue and gold against the dreary grey that hasn’t seemed to shift since Sunday evening. It's difficult not to gawk, when Clementine looks up into the stands and sees so many faces – familiar and unfamiliar – staring back at her. "Come on," says Laura, "let's show 'em what we're made of."Īnd Clementine and the rest of the girls go trooping out onto the pitch. The coach also comes in to bark instructions about playing a clean game, about halfway through, because she says it's just too easy to be tempted by the devil and a lot of the girls snigger. Their rival team at Jefferson High are supposedly a formidable challenge. "Okay," says Laura, as she climbs onto one of the benches, "so I'm gonna start like any decent team captain, and give you all a pep talk." It's warm and damp, and Clementine can feel the sweat begin to gather on her shins from the moment she pulls up her socks. The air in the locker room is no cooler than out on the pitch. "They're expecting a win, you know, so your name can replace Uncle Javi on the list of famous sports players." "I'm sorry I can't be there," says Mariana, as she hugs Clementine goodbye. Louis texts her a good luck message, as Clementine is finishing school, supposedly from all their friends at Ericson although he says he doubts Clementine will really need it.
