After class had finished Teo’s nerves had kicked into overdrive. He was excited for lacrosse practice but also extreamly anxious about it too. It was one thing to play with his team back in Laredo. It had been a co-ed team so no one had even noticed that he wouldnt really spend time in the boys locker room and if he did he would lock himself in a bathroom stall. Here playing on a boys team it would be harder to manage and hide. He was rather open about being trans but it wasnt something that he wanted to parade around either. It gave him a lot of anxiety to thibk about how people could use who he was to hurt him both mentally and physically. Regardless he went to practice with the best attitude he could manage and tried not to work himself into a panic attack. That was certain to get him a lot of snyde comments if he had a pa ic attack the firat day. He tried to relax so his playing could speak for him. He was there in a scholarship for a reason and thats what he needed to show.
Practice was a lot of bonding and drills and Teo could appreciate that even if he felt like an outsider a lot while doing the bonding part of the practice. A lot of people were already frienda or seemed to make instant connections but that wasnt Teo he just hadnt clicked immediately with anyone that had been partnered up to bond with. He was trying to keep his head up but he really felt like an outsider on the team and he wasnt sure how to fix that.
Practice hadnt been horrible. It had been rough but managable. He was missing his friends and team back home. Honestly a big part of him was regretting coming to St. Andrew’s at the moment. As practice ended he began to pack his things as everyone was talking or making plans or literally doing something with at least one other person on the team. Teo wasnt sure if he was the only new person on the team or if he just was the only one that hadnt really bonded with someone.
Teo realized that he had left his helmet on the bleachers next to the field. After he had finished packing, taken a quick shower and changed he rushed back out to the fireld for it. When he headed towards the hleachers he realized that someone was there he couldnt tell who from the distance but as he got closer he broke into a smile. It was Robin. He wasnt sure what Robin was doing there but it was bice to see gim. Robin had been pretty much the obky oerson that Teo had made as a friend. “Hey Robin.” Teo called still smiling as he got closer to where Robin was sitting. As he got closer he could see Robin drawing something.
