Life is nothing without korfball

The start of an rebellion

As I walk through the doors of the physio center with Koen by my side I think about how I'm going to lie this time, Koen goes with me to rick every time, together they ask me a lot of questions and want to know a lot about how things are going with my ankle what i have done today which might not be so good for my ankle and how i am doing, because this is such a tough process of recovery i am mentally beat up, at least that is what they think, i am not doing well me but I'm not stupid, I can lie about my day, about everything I've done, think of some things. I know they're not stupid, but they don't know anything so I'm not complaining. Koen leads me upstairs to Rick's office where we always sit. Rick is already inside and welcomes us to his office, we sit down on the chairs on the other side of Rick as always, the conversation goes well, I know how to keep a poker face while lying to them. It shouldn't I know but I want so badly and the sooner the better, the national championship is just around the corner and I can't, can't train, I have to prepare for the competitions to come, mentally and physically, of course I can mentally we prepare but the physical is more important. I don't have the perfect build, I'm a bit sturdier than others, but because I do so much sport you don't see that, but now that I can't do anything anymore and have to sit still at home I've definitely gained weight, here too I have it with Rick and Koen about it, but they think it's not too bad. I don't think so, that's why I stopped eating, well not completely but I eat 1 meal a day and drink water for the rest. It's very bad I understand that but otherwise I can't play in the championship anymore because I'm too heavy. After the conversation I want to get up thinking it's over and I can start training again at home, but then Koen grabs my wrist and shows that he wants me to sit down again. Confused, I sit back in the chair I just got up from. "Crystal, we want to ask you if you would like to do something for us?" Koen sounds very serious, that can't be good, normally he sounds so sweet and caring to me, but no, he also sounds and looks serious, as if they realize what's going on. "Um, yes what is it?" I ask nervously, this time rick answers "Here's a camera, we want you to film your whole day so we can see what you're doing, tomorrow during the conversation we'll look back at the footage, I get that this is a bit weird but we want to be on screen every 24 hours, of course when you take a shower or change you don't have to be in the picture, but otherwise you do, when you work at school, when you eat or sleep, we want to look back at everything because we want to know if you are not lies to us." "What?! why would I lie to you?" "Well because you tried that before so you could train again and we just want to prevent that now, don't be mad please, this is for your own good, you just have to do this for a week so we can make sure everything is going well with you." Tries Koen carefully.
