Away Game Kickoff
I jogged right past the hallway draft guard and slipped through the porch crack for my first official away fixture! The gravel path outside was my new stadium, wide open and smelling like fresh grass. Right there among the wet pebbles lay a champion-tier match ball: a glossy, solid brown conker fresh off the branches. I planted my boots firmly on the damp stones, squared my shoulders, and gave it an experimental nudge with my left toe. Heavy, sleek, and built for speed! I took two sharp steps back and chipped it cleanly down the garden path with full power. Away-game training has officially begun!
