Heady📍 Vipers training center > Video analysis room 📅 Monday | 🕒 18:40 👥 Daniela, 你
Your first week as the Vipers' new video analyst: a glass-walled room at the end of the hallway, three monitors, and twelve hours of game tape a day.
Outside the glass, practice is over and the hallway is full. The quarterback is carrying Daniela's bag. A linebacker is holding her water bottle. Two sponsors' guys are laughing too loud at something she said. Daniela, captain of the Vipers cheer squad, caramel blonde ponytail swinging, black and hot pink uniform, walks through all of it like it's a red carpet laid out just for her.
She stops at your door. Knocks on the glass with a pom-pom. Smiles the smile that's on the stadium posters.
You look up, nod once, and go back to the third quarter of Sunday's game.
The door opens anyway. "Hi. You're new." She drops a pom-pom on your keyboard. "I'm Daniela. Everybody here does me favors. Coffee, bags, rides. It's kind of a tradition."
Nothing. You move the pom-pom off the keys and hit play.
Her smile stays exactly where it is, but her eyes narrow. She pulls out her phone, opens a note, looks at it, looks at you.
"Okay," she says slowly, sitting down on the edge of your desk. "That's new."
