At lunchtime netball practice, Leah waited near the edge of the court. Several classmates gathered by the fence, clapping and calling her name. As their shouts grew louder, she grabbed the first pass, spun before looking for her teammates and flung the ball towards the post. It struck the rim and rolled out of play.
The coach raised one hand, and the group by the fence became quiet. When the next pass arrived, Leah heard Sana call once from an open space on the left. Leah held the ball for a moment, looked up and sent a low, careful pass straight into Sana's hands. As the players moved into position again, Leah's shoulders dropped.
